Different thread, but I agree about the sentencing, except for warm Coors.

When people are blackmailed they'd chew their own leg off as if they were a bear in a trap.
To: SoothingDave
That's OK. I have a hard time sentencing my structures properly.

Phantom Lord, you are a racist, liar and idiot. How so? Be specific.

You're lucky, the muni in Oakland allows fivesomes, and the beer is always Coors and always 72 degrees A course I play often is not a muni course, but privately owned by a family and without fail there is always a couple five-somes going off. The thing is, they are always the fastest damn players on the course. After the 2nd hole you never see them again.
They don't have beer carts, but the beer at the turn is always cold from what I am told. I bring my own.

>> I hit it 500 yds all the time in three shots, sometimes in two. :^}
LOL! Big deal. I shot a 79 one time (but I was too tired to play the second hole).
To: Grando Calrissian
Selling warm Coors should carry a heavier sentence than selling heroin. Just the selling of Coors, regardless of its temp.

LOL, so are the trees I usually have to play my second shot from. They say they are 90% air. I have yet to get 90% of my shots through them untouched.

Have fun and a nice holiday. I'm leaving right now for a golf weekend away with two other couples at a great resort.

My experiences with fivesomes vary, but on a weekend on the cheap muni course, it is never good.
I try to bring my own beer by my short-term memory ain't what it used to be so I invariably pony up $2 every other hole

Many courses around here in NC won't allow you to bring your own because it is a violation of state liquor laws. I have a very large golf bag. My clubs are not the only things taking up space.
People sometimes criticize or make fun of the size of my bag. But I get the last laugh when I have a cold six pack when I step on the 1st tee and they have to shell out $2 a can on the off chance that the beer girl shows up.

No. Abbot didn't. But that wasn't the point of the post I responded too. It was about the ability of someone with a handicap permit being able to compete at the highest levels of the sport. And as I pointed out, he couldnt. He has all be vanished.

And the Royal & Ancient (who rules golf in Europe and most of the world) has different rules from our USGA.

My experiences with fivesomes vary, but on a weekend on the cheap muni course, it is never good. Thats for sure. We usually like to be one of the first groups off when we play that course. And with an open course in front of them, these 5somes move. I've played in 3somes behind them and they leave us in the dust.

I have my grandfather's old bag that was specifically built for the golf cart. It looks like Czervic's bag from "Caddyshack". I could smuggle a full bar into the course with it.

My secret to miss a tree is to aim for it.
