GR golf showdown?

[qtong]

Since everyone here seems like solid golfers and are great people. I think there needs to be a GR scramble of some kind of championship. Throw in a bit of money, get a trophy and have it annually... What do you guys think?

we've tried several times, but to no avail... no one wants to travel that's the major issue to many people complain...

i would be down though just tell me when and where...

[qtong]

where do you live pingman?

[pingman360]

where do you live pingman?

north carolina...

[qtong]

Damn, I am in Indiana. I wouldn't mind doing one in Kansas at Colbert hills, great course so I hear...

[Horseballs]

Where are you in Indiana?

[qtong]

West lafayette.. But my club is Harrison Hills (2nd best public in IN, according to golfweek,) in attica.

[pingman360]

we could meet in PA or something??

Too bad, I was very close to taking a consulting gig at Purdue earlier in the summer. I'm in Cincinnati, but traveling for weekend golf isn't in the cards for about the next 5 years.
A few friends of mine go on an annual trip to French Lick. That seems like a pretty kick ass trip. I've also been wanting to play Purgatory in Columbus, IN. I got the chance to play the Brickyard during time trials for the Indy 500. The cars were better than the course.

[qtong]

I am willing to travel, as long as someone gives me a place to stay... Just saying....

If anybody is ever in Sydney Australia I'd be more than happy to relieve them of their cash.

[qtong]

Haha sorry man, you are way out of the way..

[mongrel]

North, south, east or west?

[pingman360]

North, south, east or west?

doesn't matter to me i gotta travel to get there anyways...

it's just a matter of finding a place where the most people will come...

[qtong]

We could do regionals maybe? Then a finals match?

[upanddownfromaballwasher]

Can i suggest Fulford lovely course and really near my house.

[mongrel]

I wonder how many are in or close to the Mid-Atlantic region.

Any final outside of Branson, MO is not sanctioned by GR.

I'm thinking that if there is a GR tourney with several members attending, it HAS to be in Branson.

[upanddownfromaballwasher]

Seems like your all running scared. Why dont you play pirates cove, that is out Branson way and is about the right length for the majority on here.

[poe4soul]

I think this is in the GR bylaws somewhere. If not I move that it be added.

Yep, that one set off the old bum bandit warning siren... Wooooop woooop woooop :-)

And the presentation has to be in a roadside diner with a carpark out the back.

I'll stop by and kidnap BJ Drivers on my way.. he wouldn't want to miss it.

[Horseballs]

Now we're talking. Regional GR matches, culminating in fisticuffs in a dirt lot in Branson. Bonus points if you show up in saddle shoes, jeans, and a homeless guy's pullover.

I think BJ and Big Pun should be the inaugural joint masters of ceremony.

One of the golf forums has done an annual outing in Arizona....The sponsors arrange tee times, hotel accommodations and to a certain point entertainment...the outing consist of a few rounds, usually some sort of team play to make it enjoyable for everyone...and those wo want to play singles, come out a day earlier.

Seems to work out really well.

Any REAL diner worthy of patronising in the USA has its carpark out front so that pickup trucks, motorcyles, muscle cars and hot rods may be displayed whilst their operators "dine".

Or in the spirirt of how it applies to this thread, GR antagonists settling their differences like men can also be viewed by the diners. Quite right Mongrel, my bad on that oversight.

[BURNDOG]

UPNDOWNFROMABALLWASHER which fulford are you talking about. Fulford York.

[qtong]

Anyone here close to Indiana?

[SoonerBS]

If I ever win the lottery, Australia will be one of my first trips. I'll pay for you, OldPlayer and Kiwi to meet up somewhere and we'll all play golf. We'll even bring along a sheep to help Kiwi feel comfortable.

Bring those Ping Eye 2's shovels for NAH. They're more in keeping with the type of clubs he plays these days.

I don't see how a team format would be any fun. That sounds like an idea for a normal forum.

The closest thing we have to a sponsor on GR is either the Russian porn spam threads or one of Larry's claptrap inventions.
Arizona might work well for some pillow talking golf boards that will go nameless, but at GR we play in Branson or nowhere.

I'm disappointed, I would have thought SPCC's would get a nod for local qualifying before the GR Open Championship.

we could do it like Big Brother, where the teammates secretly plot with members of opposing teams to sabotage each other. Stabbing at two footers, "suddenly" hooking out of bounds, leaving one in the bunker... the possibilities are endless.

You can hold on to the driver until we meet again for the rematch. It's not like I want to use it again and it wouldn't be worth it for you to ship it to me. The face was way too closed and the shaft is too whippy. Maybe you could give it to Larry.

[12sandwich]

Anyone here close to Indiana?

I'm about one hour away. I think vjjr is 30 minutes from me, he claims Mystic hills as his home course, which is 15 minutes away. You can't miss me on the course as I'll be wearing bib overalls no shirt and saddle shoes. I meet some friends from Indy and we've played the Brickyard, the Fort. I also would like to play Purgatory. In this neighborhood Mystic is nice. Plymouth country club is in great shape, open to the public on Mondays, I wear my bibs and drink alot to make up for Sunday. Blackthorn is close, as it's in Southbend,it use to be the number one rated public course in the state. Warren is Notredame,s course and supposed to be a great course, I've not played it yet. Hiphuggers is close to you, you been there yet?

[pingman360]

we may need to open up another thread but who would be willing to go to Kentucky, Tennessee area???

[12sandwich]

Oh by the way, anyone wearing a white belt, is playing at faggot lick Indiana.

[famousdavis]

No thanks, I prefer states where the women still have their front teeth and aren't married to cousin Bubba.

yeahh... we're playing golf...

Oh sure, let's say you duck hook one 40 yards into the forrest. Next thing you know you've got a couple of yokels telling you to squeal.

[12sandwich]

Kentucky has some seriously pretty golf course terrain, as well as eastern Tennessee. I may tour next month, Woodford reserves still, probably the best Bourbon on the planet. And play some golf.

[12sandwich]

You obviously not met many folks from Kentucky. Proud people, with rich heritage, that raise the finest Quarter horses, and the best Bourbon anywhere. Now if you duck hook one 40 yards into the woods.you might find some pot plants.

[emmanmin]

I live close to Houston but have a timeshare in Branson. I could probably make it up there with some notice.

[mongrel]

we may need to open up another thread but who would be willing to go to Kentucky, Tennessee area???

A little too west. Anyone up for south-southwest Virginia or West Virginia? I may be in central Atlantic coast of Florida in early March for a couple of days.

How old do you have to be, for a timeshare in Branson?

[Mward2002]

How old do you have to be, for a timeshare in Branson?

Old enough to win in a bar fight and wise enough to beware of cheap, loose women.

[daveperkins]

in the immortal words of Toby K., "I ain't as good as I once was, but I"m as good once as I ever was... "

[Mward2002]

I wasn't thinking of that song prior to my comment, but yeah that actually summed it all up pretty well. When do we get to twin sisters?

I've never heard of any bar fights in Branson.

I am originally from Houston so after going to strip clubs there Indiana is just not gonna cut it. But I do feel a get together golf match before all hell breaks loose and winter comes is called for. What are ya'lls handicaps?

Tennessee is a stretch, Kentucky could happen...

Winners write the history books. It's never much of a fight for the winner.

[pingman360]

I'm going to open up a new thread and close this one, look in the sticky section.
