  1. I witnessed one of the strangest things I've ever seen on a golf course yesterday.  To set the scene, I walked on Lions around 3:30 and got paired with a couple other guys.  We're on 16, the Hogan Hole, playing our approaches up to the green from the landing area short of the water.  One of the dudes pushes his shot right, and as we are watching it fade right of green and towards the hillside, these two hayseeds pull up in a cart out of the woods left of the 12th green, probably halfway up the hillside and nowhere near where a cart should be.  The dude who hit the shot hollers fore just as the passenger who's stepped out ahead goes to duck for cover. 

    Now, I'd witnessed some dumbass hayseed behavior in carts earlier so I was already in the red, and I start loudly admonishing them from afar and questioning all of the decisions that led them to drive up the hill instead of walking the their dumb asses fifteen yards into the woods.  

    The ball lands on the hillside about three feet from their cart, and bounces in.  The admonishments continued. 

    They drive off with the ball, scurried off 12 and over to the par three before any of us had a chance to process what we'd just witnessed.  We just stood there half gobsmacked, half laughing uncontrollably 

    oh and also they'd sanded the greens like three minutes prior, and Groundskeeper was out there turning on sprinklers on folks throughout the afternoon

  2. You can take my 3i when you pry it from my cold dead hands. My keep it low, rescue from the woods club. Maybe you can take it when I learn to better avoid the woods though.

    Why just this monday I banana-balled my second to reach the 18th at sharpstown in two from the forest, setting up the inevitable three putt par

    I did just snag a Titleist 904f 19 degree five wood from goodwill with a decent accra shaft for 15 bucks so that is going along for the long walk today at el dorado

  3. I have been practicing a lot lately, some decent rounds with a few stinkers mixed in. Practice sessions on the launch monitor have been encouraging.

    All this to say we played Canyon Springs last week for our fantasy draft weekend and I carded a smooth 113. Lost 11 balls (found 22 tho). There were times I couldn’t even remember how to hit the ball. Haven’t seen rough that ridiculous since Ferry Point in NYC. Hopefully tomorrow’s return to Lions resets things a bit

  4. Are you fucking nuts? The Hangover was a fucking great original comedy. Step Brothers. Wedding Crashers. Napoleon Dynamite. Tropic Thunder. They're all supremely quotable movies. And that's just rolling off the top of my head.


    Not for nothing but the most recent of these films came out 16 years ago

    ...So, what do I do? I lay an absolute egg.  It was like I forgot how to play golf....

    Lol I feel seen.  I've been playing okay since picking up the clubs again a few months ago.  Really striking the ball well, but losing a lot of strokes to missed GIRs and bad chipping mistakes.  Overall though, it's been encouraging.  

    Walked on at Lions Sunday morning at 0730 and proceeded to card five 7s in row.  Somewhere along the way, I started spraying wedges just blade open wide right.  On 5, I wound up right of the trees, tried to play a mostly conservative pitch out to the fairway, hit a tree and wound up twenty yards backwards.  Next shot, hit another tree.  Third shot, beautiful punch out to 90 yards...

    I chalk it up to getting paired with this older dude who had just enough Dad energy to put the thought of my old man in my head, and I always played terribly around him. 

    Golf.

    I know what it means obviously but for the other readers, can you elaborate on what SG means in this context?

    Surly Golf (TM)

  6. Anything beyond the 5th is superfluous made-up dramatic bullshit.

    The 5th amendment is made applicable to the states via the [snaps several times and points crooked finger] conduit of the 14th amendment due process clause

  7. Thoughts? I just finished the book and this is next on my movie list.

    It’s a great film although it is clunky and Elliot Gould is such a weirdo you almost fee like you’re uneasily stumbling through it with him. I haven’t read any of the books so don’t know how faithful it is. Marlowe smokes a lot. I dig the theme song, and how Altman weaves it into the movie in a multitude of ways. “This is someone I love” was quite a scene. Cameo towards the end one of the best ever.

    Wow. I just finished the whole thing. I wanted to watch The Wire because I’ve maintained Breaking Bad is the best series ever and some people would argue that The Wire is the best.

    i need to sleep on it a few days, but overall the show is incredibly good. Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire. Legendary programs. 

     

    not even in the same league.  Breaking Bad / Sopranos were great television shows.  The Wire is the highest art ever developed for the television medium. Shakespeare vs. Andrew Lloyd Weber

    Let us know when the rewatch begins

    So who is the first one to go check out the cliffs at Pace Bend?  Need to know if I'm going to get impaled on a newly submerged sycamore.

    I saw a reel of a dude jumping off paleface recently.  ymmv
