LDG and the SPCC weekend

[Omen2]

so Horseballs fits his monicker to the tee... seriously though he's a really nice guy.

so it starts off friday night with my arrival... 9 phucking hours on the road....

we break out the sticks and he notices that i do indeed not have any hybrids or cavity backs to which he acknowledges my superiorness.

we have some beer watch some TIVO and off to bed

Saturday morning: arrive at course really early .... meet the other 10 guys and off we go... its at elks run golf club ( a greg norman ) that has 4 foot of heather that they call rough... the greens were super fast and there was absolutely no way to stop the ball... OMEN SHOOTS 97... killer i know

second round.... more of the same throw in a couple birdies.... OMEN SHOOTS 82.... the third round i am not sure but needless to say i didn't play nearly well enough to compete with the 30 handi that shot a NET 56....



SUNDAY AND THE SPCC... or should i say INCONCEIVABLY PRETENTIOUS COUNTRY CLUB...

anyway it is with great shame that i admit that HORSEBALLS BEAT OMEN by 3 strokes...

it is a super fantatstic course the greens were immaculate and they received shots very well... in fact i found it impossible to control the spin.

In the end it WAS THE GREATEST GOLFING WEEKEND OF MY LIFE AND IF YOUR NAME IS BJ AND YOU DIDNT COME YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST MANGINA OF THEM ALL... OH AND YOU MISSED ONE HELLUVA TIME.


I dont know that Horse will invite me back because He knows DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT the second time i play a course i shave 15 strokes off the round...

OHH... THIS AINT OVER BY A LONG SHOT...

SERIOUSLY THOUGH: he's a great golfer, a great guy, and he has a great dog named Ruby. Thanks again Horse for your HOSPITALITY AND GENEROSITY...


.... by the way I have seen the SPCC and i get MAD STREET CRED.

and he made me drink MILLER LITE.... what a douchebag.

[Horseballs]

Mad props to Omen for making the trek over to Cincinnati. His street cred is on the rise, but mine is probably down a bit for being called a nice guy.
The SPCC doesn't treat newcomers very well, but it was a good showing nonetheless.
The rematch is on for LDG '08!

[Omen2]

This Thread Is Worthless Without Pictures.

Jesus man, there are children who read this forum.

[bjdrivers]

Well this weekend I played a championship course with dad & shot 79 (Even 36 on the front), went jet skiing and camping at the lake, and it was only a 30 MINUTE DRIVE. So I guess that makes a good consolation prize

Glad you guys had a good time. 97???? ouch

[pingman360]

im not kiddin i thk itd be awsome if we could get a ton of members together and have some sort of match play tourney... get all the regulars (Omen, Horseballs, JS, Tmac, BJ, Cbad, Denis, College, Neverman, myself, and the others i prob forgot...) and do this thatd be awsome im serious we always talk about it but never really do let try and start planning now and get a date... you guys finnally got together an played thats cool we all should...

I agree, but if I personally witness Omen or anyone else for that matter, shoot a 97, I will kick his ass where he stands. That's uncalled for.

[Omen2]

AT LEAST I WAS MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT MY SHIOT HOT ROUND.... hey i shaved 15 strokes.... that was a damn tough course.

YOU GUYS SUCK.

that you did and thats good it shows that maybe you went lying about your handi... maybe... jk

[Omen2]

next year I am going as a 15.... i like my odds just a wee bit better....

this thread is still worthless without pics... geez BALLS, what's taking so long ???

[SwingHarder]

I respect any man who will admit an honest 97. Not as much as someone who shoots an honest 67, but respect none the less.

[DENNIS7180GOLF]

Hey its sometimes easy to press when you travel to a new destination and play with someone you have only talked to!! next time you WILL play better.
anyway im glad to see GR at its best,to qoute pingman we should have a little weekend tourney i will travel anywhere.i would also be willing to host one, living in florida you will all be jonesn to play in january. anyway glad you had fun. now where are the farging pics!!!

[Horseballs]

I am a hardworking mofo. I pretty much am this whole week, but I'll try.
Do you really want these picks up so badly? I can recall at least 3 you probably want me to erase.
Omen hitting a bunker shot (or was that his second attempt?).
Omen trying to hit every tree in the forest.
Omen drinking a Miller Lite and LOVING it.
I'll make time you impatient bastard.

Where in FL are you? My folks have a super pretentious condo down in Naples that I'm planning on hitting up a few times this fall and winter.

im in orlando,but NAPLES im in ! ! let me know id love to play some golf in naples.everything down ther is "super pretentious" but it is a beautiful area

[Mward2002]

I'm in, I'm only about an hour and a half west of Orlando, maybe 2 hours south of Naples. I'd wait till it gets a little cooler down here. These 90+ degree days along with the humidity are just brutal unless you get up at the break of dawn to play.

[Horseballs]

I'm definitely waiting till the fall. The only good part about the summer is the reduced greens fees. I went down in late February and paid $180 to play a course that would have been $30 max at home.

[DENNIS7180GOLF]

Yes you are right. i can play really nice courses for 30.00 in the summer but it is african hot out here.but come the fall im only about 3.5 hrs from the naples area so i would be there.

[Mward2002]

That unfortunately doesn't surprise me. What course did you play where you were financially abused like that?

I think it was called Arrowhead or Arrowhead Lakes. I've only been down to Naples once and my dad's back can't handle more than a round or two per week. I've got to get the lay of the land next time. From what I can gather, most of the courses are private and they cost a fortune to join. My folks condo has a par 3 tee in their backyard, but that course is something like $165K to join plus dues around $700 monthly. Maybe I'll turn on some of that Horseballs charm and get a member to take me out next time. It may also snow in Naples.

if you head north just a little you can get in the 75.00 per round range and that would be an awesome course.those are fall prices.I play year round and never pay more than 50.00 in this area.

[Mward2002]

Depends on the club. Some places try to encourage younger members so they offer reduced initiation fees, or installments. The one I joined is 1k a year till I'm 40, and then just normal dues

[Mward2002]

There's a place called World Woods about 45 minutes north of me that's pretty cheap and supposedly a really nice course. I've never played it cause I'm just lazy.

man 1k a yr thats a deal... i spend more on that playing at my home course in a yr...

[Mward2002]

I agree, I'm quite a fan of it. 20 bucks for a cart, free to walk whenever. 18 hole Jack Nicklaus design course (I hate that man with a passion after playing this course) that's just tricky and really focuses on accuracy. Miss a fairway, you're probably wet or OB.

Mad Jack must have some crazy obsession with OB. My future father-in-law lives on a Nicklaus-designed course in the Twin Cities and all I see when I step up to the tee are white stakes and billion dollar houses with the world's largest picture windows. When I hit a good shot I'm not happy as much as I am relieved that I didn't wind up in someone's living room. Maybe you get used to it when you play that type of course all the time but I find it very intimidating.

[Omen2]

hey POSTEM you lazy bastard

did i hole out that second bunker shot???

free miller lite is still sh.ittier than bought corona and nowhere nearly as good as A KILLIANS

went and played my local spot... what a PHUCKING GOAT TRACK that is now...
went like this... bogey, par, bogey, par, par, birdie, par, birdie, par, TURN par, par, bogey, par, par, par, par, par, par

i had birdie putts on 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.....11 birdie putts and only made 3... what a PHUCKING GOAT TRACK....

still it was amazing how much harder the SPCC and NORMAN were.... I am looking forward to next years... only 360+ DAYS TO GO

[Omen2]

and there's always SOUTH CAROLINA..i think they have a couple golf courses in the MYRTLE BEACH area.

YEAH A FEW! i can load up the vette and be there in 8 hrs omen. like i said b4 have golf will travel.

[SwingHarder]

And I'll just take my private jet. I'll have Jeeves gas up the Bentley and meet me at the airport. I'll be there in no time.

Then stop by orlando and pick me up,then i dont have to drive.besides im 99.9% safer in a plane.

[TmacG]

Saskatchewan? 14*C here today and raining? anyone down?

TmacG

[SwingHarder]

Celsius? When we start measuring temperature in Celsius, the terrorists win.

[bjdrivers]

Celcius, that's how folks here in Arkansas measure the thickness of mosquitoes.

[DENNIS7180GOLF]

Hey Tmacg i hope that when you start shaving and can make your own decisions, you move from that dreaded place to somewhere warm......... like north dakota !!

[augafan48]

i love where i am in sc. 5 bucks to walk all year and it never snows. rocks. put those pictures up horseballs, im a bit curious to see them. i can always fill up my flying yacht and come to meet someone.....

[Omen2]

Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, 25*C No wind, and mainly sunny. This weekend its suppposed to hit the 30* mark. Its great here. It may get cold in the winter but thats when I often have the most time to work on my game. You cant play so you have to practice.
Shaving is a thing of the past. l prefer the full beard.
