BDLord, if you're gonna be in Louisville, maybe you & Spiff should meet (over a beer, natch) to discuss venue & date. Given that it's FT & that we're all willing to fly somewhere & it's golftime year-round in certain locales, just tell us where & when. jerry.a.laska might even appreciate a break in the fall or winter when it gets a bit nippy where he lives ;)

I see I need to add photographer along to my caddie & gopher duties, so that I can catch that 'rodeo ride' thing w/ the hockey stick. And cawhile, I'm practicing my gopher dance as I post :D

"IT'S IN THE HOLE."


As for me:
"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

Yours truly lives in a house about a block from the writer of Caddyshack (who killed himself in Hawaii after thinking the movie was a flop).

If one can quote Animal House or Caddyshack, one is truly a Renaissance person.

I did get a bowl of soup with the hat.

Very Interested

And thanks to dan for bringing the thread back OT! The rest of you can quote Caddyshack when you're trying to hit the itty-bitty round thing w/ a long stick :D

My first thought was Kiawah....but the next thought was that of FTers and ponds filled with gators...not a pretty one & the gators likely wouldn't stand a chance. Of course my favorite choice would be Costa del Sol...but not very realistic. Maggie Valley?

Do we want east or west?

:D

OT: High country golf? Great for egos.

Now a Caddyshackism:

It's easy to grin
when your ship comes in
and you have the stock market beat.
But a man that's worthwhile
is a man that can smile
when his shorts are too tight in the seat.

OT:
"Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch."

If we find some useful fares, Ireland in September can be nice. Otherwise, as sharon pointed out someplace warm would also be nice.

PHX is warm in Sept :D

You know, I've heard that before somewhere. :)

Great Golf. . .
 

some of the country's best golf can be found here in North Carolina. . .in case anybody is interested (Pinehurst has several lovely courses). I am definitely interested in this. I miss my wine and women league of golfing :)

Inexpensive fares coming to RDU courtesy of Independence Air starting on 07/06.

or South Carolina
 

The land of 1000 courses. Myrtle Beach in Sept.? Cheap Golf, Hotels and Condos
