Well how nice for him
Is that an arm of the Human Fund?
He’s favored to win the “Most Mulligans” trophy.
You know the rules.
If you mention Alice, you -have- to ping me.
[is this televised? I wanna see Alice hand Slick his golf balls on a platter]
:)
An old joke:
Q: What id the English translation of La Quinta?
A: Next to Denny’s.
For younger Freepers ........Alice Cooper is almost a scratch golfer and he’s a conservative.
Where’s that guy from Animal House who could really hit a golf ball? Any chance the Bent One could take one to the cranium?
When Obama said he was going to Disney World I checked up on several forums that allow members to discuss their upcoming Disney vacations.
They were in quite a frenzy, they knew that the Obama Black Hole would create a void field wherever he went disrupting plans made months in advance.
Love it - and I live in La Quinta. Yesterday, Clinton and Arnold Palmer held a 'private fundraiser' golf outing at nearby Tradition Club, where Arnie has a winter home.
Humana refuses to disclose how much the Sinkmeister is being paid for this week.
...only on the Golf Channel. La Quinta got sucked into building it's municipal course called "Silver Rock", which Arnold Palmer designed - with the idea of it being the host course for the Bob Hope Classic.
Well, it flunked the PGA test to qualify because Palmer phocked it up bigtime.....tweaks were done and it flunked the next year.
Now Silver Rock isn't even in the rotation, and that facility is a big money-sucking municipal albatross.
BTTT.
[Go ALICE!]
