It was only $35. Also, the cart girl is legitimately the most attractive cart girl I've seen in Vegas. A veritable Kate Hudson clone.

But with bigger boobs? Please tell me she had bigger boobs.

Not to get Goatnapper too excited, but she was definitely sporting some modest implants.

Time to buy a home here to get resident rates.

I am tempted at times. Prices for real estate are much better than in St. George. Problem is I have family in St. George and Vegas is a 2 hour longer drive for the kids to use a place I buy.

Another reason I have thought about Vegas instead of St. George, state income taxes.

We have vastly different taste in women.

Speaking of cart girls reminded me of a funny story that happened a week or so ago. I was playing Eugene CC with my FiL and his lawyer (the lawyer did nothing to help the stereotype of lawyers not being grade A poop faces), the cart girl was a very attractive coed from the University of Oregon who was wearing what I would guess was a size XXXS shirt on her perky frame.

She hopped out of the cart and went up to my FiL, started rubbing his shoulders and commented on his shirt which had the ski area logo on it, telling him how much she loved snowboarding and she really wanted to go more next year. Then she moved to the lawyer and rubbed his back, calling him by name and asking him how things were at the office. I was slightly offended that no pretend sexual advance was made to me when I got my purple G2, but I guess I'll survive. The lawyer gave her a $5 tip for a G2 and a bottle of water and as she pulled away said "She's going to make a LOT of money this summer."

I think you have misinterpreted my post somewhat.

That's pretty blatant - Brings on a new meaning to "full release" on the golf course. Our cart girls started making the rounds, and I found out yesterday that I've got a $59 credit from my winnings recently. Gotta love signing the tab, with house money. I think you should view the non flirting as a sign that you would actually be a viable candidate for the E ticket. As for my taste in women, my wife is a duplicate to Patricia Heaton/Debra Barone in looks and temper.

Going back for more torture today. There's a Chapman Tourney this Sat/Sun so I'm cramming all my golf into Thurs & Fri since I was beach obligated on Wednesday. This going to church thing is a real killer for all of the tournaments I could be playing.

I've wondered about putting an attractive cart girl on one nine and a goofy looking kid on the other nine and seeing how much more the cart girl pulls in.

Golf Report Friday July 6, 2012.

42+40=82

1 Birdie, 9 Pars, 5 bogies, 3 dbogies.

What a perfect day to play golf. The rest of the world is in a heat wave, and we played at 77* with a wafting breeze. I played better than my score showed, especially considering that I was only 3 shots better than yesterday, but played so much better. The best thing to report is that my putting is trending a huge improvement. I didn't mention it much, but I resorted to "the claw" split hand grip. Yeah, I know it's embarrassing, but so was 3 putting every green. In the last 36 holes I've only had 2 three putts, and I'm making more putts. I just wish my score was reflecting the better putting. The three double bogies were just stupid, and should have never happened.

Shot of the Day: On the 5th hole I was 165 out with trees blocking my normal draw shot. It's nearly impossible for me to hit a fading 5 iron, but I opened up my stance, swung the club on a outside swing path, and faded the sucker right to the front fringe of the green. It was an easy up and down for par on the #3 handicap hole. It was a really nice looking shot that went just how it should - against all odds.

My golfing Joy Meter is already pegged in early July.

Today was torture. We usually play in 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Today was 4 hours and 45 minutes. Hot, humid and why I probably shot 91.

We thought it was the guys in front of us because they had two holes open ahead of them on the front. However, they caught up to a group on number 11 and from there on it was SLOOOOOOOOOOW.

Finally I see the problem going up 17. Four old guys just taking their time, bumping their balls and just plain slow.


My buddy drove over from number 12 and said, "do you know who those guys are"? I didn't. He said he had driven over there to scream at them but just before he did one guy turned around. The old guy was in his ward and is an Apostle. I guess the brethern can play the course for free if they want. I won't name names.

One of the guys in our group of 21 today, went in after and really griped. The Pro said, hey that was Elder.............. This guy said, "so what, I'm not a damn mormon".

I shot an 87 today. (43+44, 1 birdie, 6 pars, 6 bogeys, 5 Doubles). It is the most disappointing 87 I have ever shot. I was +8 after 14. Holes 15-18 are usually some of the easiest scoring holes on the course. I finished double, double, bogey, double. I could have easily parred 18 except I was pissed off that I threw perhaps one of my best scores ever away and decided to go for the green in two even though I was in the rough, 235 to the front edge, into the wind and over water and a sand trap. I didn't hit the 3 wood pure and landed it in the middle of the water. I dropped, then proceeded to shank my 60 degree almost straight right and barely missed going into the water again. Finished with a double.

Homestead was beautiful. Shot a 49 + 42 = 91. Started out four over my bogey level after three holes. Then chipped away at that the rest of the round. The back was about as well as I can play. I left a couple shots on the table due to not knowing the course.

I have very limited experience in playing different golf courses in different locales, but I just feel :rockon1::thumbsup: about playing these local mountain courses on a summer night like Gladstan, Hobble, Homestead/Wasatch.

I won't name names.

Just give us his initials and we will guess. I'm curious who plays golf.

Mesquite?
