MD/DC/VA Golfers - This One Goes to Eleven

[Gmen1204]

It's going to come out in an official invite next week so don't respond here, but the first event of the year is going to be March 17th (wear green) at Pine Ridge.

 

10AM start. Start letting the wives know.

 

Gonna be a stableford. $70 riding. $60 walking. That includes your prize fee.

Niiice,not a long commute for me.

That was part of the consideration. You guys are always hauling Word not allowed to get to events.

Definitely appreciate it,also I understand that most guys are south of me so it makes sense to play more courses closer to them.

Believe me, Nerf, we do regularly consider our geographic biases.

 

You guys are so far away. One of these decades, we'll have to do a Hive Getaway to the shore. Maybe we can all sleep in the stock room of the hardware store.

Just effin with you.

When we played at Q'town, on this side of the bridge, Rick still traveled the furthest to play.

We get our visas and have our passports for crossing the bridge here and there.

You guys need a choppah.

You guys do the inventory count, and I will allow you to stay back there for FREE. You'll have to battle it out who gets to sleep on the insulation batts vs. who sleeps on the bulk nails.

Hey Boogs, you awake on this Friday?

Get ready, cause you will be after this.

If they would give me a break on the rate, for sure. But corporate policy sucks there.

But a fun round/match wouldn't be out of the question!

that's a lot more do-able than OC.

Whoever counts the bulk nails gets to sleep on the insulation batts, and whoever counts the insulation bats has to sleep on the bulk nails.

GTF : If you could sleep on any item in Rick's hardware store what would it be?

[FAbb]

GTF : I'm gonna lay a batt of insulation down in the bottom of a bath tub, lay on top of that, and use some painting drop cloths as blankets.

[TheCityGame]

i'm going with rubber gaskets and silicon jelly.

 

How excited is everyone to see Peter Kostis break down Andy Garcia's swing this weekend?

 

Can I get a what what?

[baddomes]

GTF: Lightbulbs. 60 watt. Soft White.

[Ocgolfrick]

GTF: The 32 year old blonde Plywood distributor rep (only every 3rd Wednesday.)

Ocricks condo then grab a fractured prune donut on the way to come laugh at yall for sleeping on random hardwAre things

I listened to a little bit of the David McLay Kidd pod this morning. I'm enjoying it so far. He's very candid in the interview, as it sounds he was in winning over Mike Keiser to build the namesake course at Bandon Dunes. What he has to say about what golf is, where maybe he went astray in his projects for a bit, and how he's gotten back to what matters is really cool.

Really liked at the end how he talked about (something like) how he doesnt really care what people think about his newer stuff now, the real judgement will be how he is thought of 100 years down the road. Also interesting to hear him talk about how he is so impressed with courses like Kingsbarns that are given a garbage piece of land to deal with and really make something out of it - vs getting an amazing piece of land that almost anyone could build a good course on.

 

By interseting I mean I dont know how a piece of land right on the ocean can be though of as a plain piece of land - I have to assume it was dead flat and maybe the soil/ground wasnt ideal.

The AT+T Pro Am is unwatchable except for Sunday where at least they show mostly the pros. Hope the leaderboard improves though.

[TheCityGame]

He said the 16th at Bandon Dunes was basically just "there", but he was more proud of his second at Gamble Sands.

 

BD16 is awesome. I have a nice picture of it. I hit a PERFECT drive. Carried it up top, ran out to a perfect lie, looking right down the green, and I bogeyed. Intimidating approach.

 

Gamble Sands 2nd. I don't know yardages to the bunkers or through the fairway, but it looks fun.

Not to mention we've seen Pebble Beach about a zillion times by now, yet that's essentially the course they cover. I want to see more Spyglass and MPCC. And, yes, please show me less of the Executive VP of Sales for FedEx, and more of the pros.

You're not missing a lot at SH outside of the first 4 or 5 holes. MPCC on the other hand, man I would love to see more of that place. Zac Blair was posting some incredible pics from when he played there early this week. Place just looks so freaking pure.

i need to hear more of 827's work stories. like, immediately.

 

stop telling us about your golf galaxy shiggle expeditions, and start telling us about the time a mail order battery operated device was already going off in the box as you hand delivered it to a buxom fair maiden of ill repute.

 

signature required.

 

No such other stories aside from what you’ve read already.

 

Here’s my normal day:

 

Arrive, deal with boss’ bull crap, get boxes into truck, sort documents into baskets, deliver and pick up stuff, get back to station and put stuff I picked up to head elsewhere onto belt, take stuff that was unable to be delivered (signature required, mainly) to the CSA, go home.

 

827. Stop. You’re better than this.

 

 

If you can infuse a 15 minute mosey thru GG into a short story worthy of a few shiggles, you can infuse a “Day in the Life” with more effort than what you just put out.

 

In other words, LIE. Or, at the very least, embellish. It’s called poetic license.

 

Also, it’s not a lie if YOU believe it. ;)

[vtnerf]

Kingsbarns is a great location. The three holes that are "separate" from the others are fantastic. It kind of lends itself to what they are. And the par 3 following is great as well.

Maybe he was thinking of past failures there. Like the course that was there turn of the 20th century. Or the shoreline that was used to deter ships from landing during the world wars. Or the potato farm that it turned into at one point. Who knows. But I do agree, it's spectacular now.

[baddomes]

And, yes, please show me less of the Executive VP of Sales for FedEx, and more of the pros.

 

Disagree. I want to see all amateurs, and not the ones who are good (Like that tournament in lake tahoe).

 

I basically want to see a competition where we figure out which public figure is a vanity cap and which public figure isn't.

[TheCityGame]

16th at Bandon. Hit one top shelf and you're looking right down the green where those folks are. Keep it safe and you're coming in totally blind. The green, IIRC, has an infinity edge to the Pacific. It's ridiculous.

 

(you guys experience that imgbb is a TOTAL FAIL about half the time you try to use it? )
