Masters 2018

[🏀]

Let's not forget the most famous heel-turned-face-turned-heel-turned-face-turned-something-something-something, Hulk Hogan.

Never forget what Hulk did to Macho Man Randy Savage. No human can absorb that many Big Leg Drops. Bah gawd.

I see some folks here partook in a Wrestlemania viewing party last week.

Curious....has anyone ever played with the old wooden clubs?  Like Bobby Jones old wooden clubs, not a bad 70s 3 wood?  Mashies and niblicks, etc.

Or the old gut balls.

My first garage sale set had a wood shafted 6 iron and a thick wood shafted 2 iron.   If I had kept them, a collector would have loved them.  The 2 iron was nearly unhittable.

I met a guy years ago, (at a truckstop?  Jaybee's crib?), his hobby was restoring the old hickory sticks.  They were absolutely beautiful clubs.  I could probably hit a ball 25 yards with them.

WrestleFest at County Stadium (steel cage match between Andre and Hulk) was pretty much both the pinnacle and the end of my professional wrestling viewing days.

... is the start to about 20% of Penthouse Forum letters.

Ummm...yeah...it's been a while, but my recollection of Penthouse Forum letters was that they were far more likely to start with, "I met a hot chick in my apartment laundry room..." than "I met a guy at a truckstop..."  Maybe my memory is fading.  Maybe I blocked the truckstop stories.  I seem to recall that the target audience would be far more interested in the former scenario than the latter.

Looks like 82's been readin' his old lady's dirty magazines again.

Or is that why 4never calls you "Nads"?

Yeah ... as if we all believe "it's been a while"!

Hey, "a while" is an [intentionally] vague time frame.  Five minutes is, "a while."

The organizers of my annual trip to Treetops  the 3 days after Memorial Day are starting a betting pool as to whether there will still be snow in the low lying shady spots.  The ski resorts in northern lower Michigan are projecting being open through the first weekend in May.

You play Threetops? How is it? Do you get in 36/day? More? I'd love to get up there sometime.

[tower912]

I have played 3tops a few times.  Very cool.  We play 90 holes in 3 days.  Scrambles in the morning of the first two days.  Skins in the afternoons.  Third morning, whatever game you can put together.   Then, if you want, you can play Threetops for an extra $20 or go home.  My decision is made by who wants a game and whether there is little league practice or game that night.

If you want a pure golf challenge, I recommend Garland.     It is a little more remote, but the golf is tougher.    The on-site cabins are really sweet. 20 minutes from the nearest stop light.       Treetops does a really good job.   Plus, if you want to get off site, Gaylord is right there and you are 5 minutes from I-75.    If you are staying at Treetops, try to go next door to the Otsego Club and play the Tribute.   IMO, the Tribute has more dramatic elevation changes than anything at Treetops.   

Forest Dunes is destination golf.     Arcadia Bluffs is the Michigan equivalent of Whistling Straits.

Have you been able to get onto Crystal Downs?

[tower912]

No. 

[Herman Cain]

No.

Sometimes if your local club pro has some connections they can get you on.

I don't play at private courses or enough at any one public course to have a club pro to hook me up.

If you want to play an interesting course check out Lincoln Hills in Ludington.  Tight rolling greens set near the big lake. You don't need to use driver a lot very sandy conditions.

It is a club but open to the public as well . I had fond memories of it back in the day when people of my color were not generally allowed to play private courses I could  pay my fees and get on. Haven't been there in years but I imagine they have done good things with the course.
