Running 2015 golf thread

That's one of the few benefits of working second-shift newspaper hours: You can sneak a round in before work, with much lighter crowds and weekday prices.

Agree with all the commentary about family issues; it's also a reason the fraternal organizations are dying. With both mom and dad working in many homes, who wants to spend five hours on Saturday away from the spouse and kids? Or a couple hours on weeknights at the Elks Lodge?

 

This thread is going to mess around and get me back into golfing this year.

And I lied. Well, forgot. But there's definitely a 9-hole course on the other side of my neighborhood that I haven't tried yet. It's a small, shitty little course. Perfect for me!

 

Here in the sticks, we have a Monday Night Mens Night.......starting after school gets out Mid-May, that is a great draw......The first Monday of the month is Steak Night......So, for $25, you get 9 holes of golf, beer for $1, steak, potato, all the fixings, and the chance of winning your money back....they typically play 4-man scrambles.....but, any other Monday is just a burger, sausage, fixings......all the same....but for $20. There will be anywhere from 40-50 people on a Monday.

Wednesday Night is league night.

Every Saturday/Sunday is special out here. Everyone who wants to play meets at the course at 12:30....12:00-12:15 if you need to chip and putt. But, come hell or high water, be on the first tee at 12:30, or get your ass left behind. We typically go off in 4-somes....sometimes 6-somes if there's no one else out. And the bets are high quality entertainment.....We actually had to limit the number of bets, because it could take up to 45 minutes to figure out the bets after the round when one of the guys had 7 or 8 bets. Team bets, indi bets.....

 

The tough PGA tour drug policy.

John Daly calls PGA Tour drug testing 'a big joke' - ESPN

 

John Daly is a joke.

 

So? It doesn't mean he's wrong.

Canseco's a joke too, he was still right

 

I wonder if this hurts the golf/home resale market. Myaaka Pines FL:

 

They should drug test that gator.

 

I wonder if anyone has ever hit a gator with a golf cart, intentionally or not, under the influence or not.

 

No shit.
Look at the size of that sumbitch.

 

Would've been an Urban Meyer recruit a few years back but GPA was too high and rap sheet too small
