The Golf Thread

[landpoke]

landpoke, you tuck your shirt in? What are you trying to impress DDD?

I always tuck when rocking the sweater vest. That's my policy.

[Donuthole]

Hey, that's something I hadn't considered before. Thanks.

I look forward to seeing you with a bag of flour at the driving range.

It's a great ice breaker.

July 20th and 21st with apologies for the poor camera phone images



Breakfast of Champions



12th tee, The Golf Club at Devil's Tower



12th Hole, The Golf Club at Devil's Tower. You can't really tell from the picture but it's 500 feet straight down on the right.



Quite possibly the purest pure golf swing you'll ever see. You'll note I'm sporting a baby blue argyle pattern sweater vest with a Boo Weekley camo ball cap. Tight.

(I hit it a bit thin and into the sand. Out and two putted for bogey.)

So, this is what I missed out on last summer?

Dangit. From now on, I'm making sure my clubs are going with us.

Do you guys always tee off from in front of the markers?

Yes, the extra few inches make all the difference.

Is that course open to the public? How much is it to play? I'm genuinely intrigued.

Are we still talking golf here?

It's private. They had a two day package with lodging at a Cowboy Joe Club auction last fall which we won and which is why we were able to get on. It's a relatively new course and I'm not sure why they went private so quickly (it was semi-private only two years ago and rumor is they only have 50 members.)

About the only option is the route we took or you could play in the Cowboy Joe Club golf tournament they have there in late May/early June. They'll take anyone's money and you'll have the added satisfaction of supporting student atheletes at the University of Wyoming.

It is a spectacular course, here's the website:

I'm not sure I catch your meaning.

Maybe with your Wyoming connections you could get us on this course.

I just received a personal invitation (the honor of which is not diluted by the fact that there were around 5,000 cc's) from Tom Holmoe inviting me to play in the Deseret Duel Cup Golf Tournament. Sixty players from each of Crimson Club and Cougar Club will square off on Wednesday, August 12 at Thanksgiving Point in a Ryder Cup style contest (two players from each club in a foursome).

As I will be busy riding Dumbo with grandkids, I'll pass. But I hope BYU71 will defend our honor in this critical contest.

Last year they had a CJC event there too. I was all set to jump on it this year and they go and switch the event to Golf & Tennis. Bastards.

Played around of best ball with my old man today against two of his co-workers. We easily beat them shooting 3 over for the day. I can tell my dad has been playing lots of golf. It shows. We probably only played 10 of my shots all day.

[il Padrino Ute]

Played Hobble Creek today and shot an 81. I was pulling everything and it really hurt my game, especially at #3. I yanked the tee shot so far left that after dropping, I couldn't go over the trees, so I had to practically chip the 3rd shot at a 90° angle to the green. I then pulled the ball into the trees again about 100 yards from the green. Drop again.

If I could have holed my approach, it would have been a bogey, but no, I put it long and left. From there I pitched it short and ended up just off the fringe. Two putts later and I'm drawing a little number 9 on the scorecard. Four over on one hole. Yuck.

Still, it better to play golf than not play golf.

[Drunk Tank]

Out of the few courses I have played in Utah, Hobble Creek is my favorite. Very pretty and the green fee's are very reasonable. It was hard to find though.
