Well, boys, just had an absolutely unbelievable weekend up at The Club. Even though I didn’t swing a stick I just couldn’t escape my obsession with G so I hung around, had a ton of hydration, and watched the MG. Since I won’t get into that bad boy for another 6 to 20 years I will take what I can get.
I will bestow upon you my highlights from hanging out on the par three 9th. It is amazing what happens on a par 3 at a MG when there are some delays because of slow play and a hydration station with many different choices to choose from being served by some attractive ladies.
So strap in boys here we go!!!!
Guest B. Brown venting about pro sports teams caving to cancel culture and renaming their team names and then learning a few holes later that the guest of the guy in the group that he is playing against owns one of the canceled teams that I will not name here. Ouch!
Member T105 driving his golf cart full speed into the back of the team they were playing against when pulling into the tee box. As it turns out, T105 may have been hydrating pretty heavily and was incredibly irritated by the slow play and the guest’s constant criticism of the course he was invited to play for three days. Hey, can you blame T105? Actually makes me proud.
The green was a “hit or miss.” You could bet any amount of money up to $500 in shop credit. If you stuck it on the green you doubled your bet. If you missed it, you got the amount you bet in shop credit. No brainer! It was remarkable how many guys came through and said, “I’ll bet $50 it is obnoxious to bet $500 I never miss the green.” And then guess what? Not even close. Hilarious!
More hilarious…the guys coming through talking about how hot their game is, and then they top their drive into the drink…and then top their second shot (rather 3rd) into the drink. Classic!
Member S91 talking in a really loud voice so everyone can hear about how great the course is playing and how great it looks and it is playing so much better than Augusta. Nice compliment. However, is member S91 making this observation because he actually believes it or because he wants everyone to know that he has played The National? No doubt in my mind it was the latter!
Guest J. Sullivan declared he needed to hit the head. Took the bags off, grabbed the cart and he was off be back in five. But he never returned. He was found 5 hours later sound asleep on the floor in the bathroom of the tennis hut. If J. Sullivan is lucky enough to be invited back he is going to have to have two weeks of double sessions prior in order to be in shape.
6 guys looking for a ball in a bush for ten minutes. No luck. Walk of shame 140 yards back for the retee and knocking it in the same bush.
6 monster slices 70-90 yards away from the stick and the guys teeing off on 10 taking cover.
I will let the picture speak for itself…
Always, always a blast up at The Club!
