me
That's only 11 so we have room for 5 more. These are not the foursomes, I just listed everyone, pairings can be done later or by request. Cliff and Connie had asked to join me.
Anyone need clubs? The course is Amelia River and it's part of the Amelia Plantation. I'll post the rate when I get it, safe to say it won't be their published one.
Who Else?? |

If I break 120 on 18 holes, it's a good day...If I can remember two of three versus and the chord change of Buffet song, it's an even better day!
Bobbo, you sound like perfect company in the cart.
I have a couple extra sets of clubs, I can bring them if the clubhouse is limited. |

Greens fees will be the special Beal rate of $60
Club rental is $30 and they are Nike clubs. I'll get a count as we get closer of how many we need.
I don't think they allow tag alongs but will check.

I had a set of clubs a long time ago...$25 from the pawn shop including the bag. Everything matched. Sold them at a yard sale for about the same amount 15 years later. Not sure it matters what clubs I use and my old golf shoes are at the bottom of some methane heap at the dump. You fellas play barefooted? I also prefer walking over riding in a cart. |

You really might want to rent a set of clubs...I just looked at the old set and they're not really much to play with...yard sale items mostly and OLD...with a rental set, you'll at least have a fair advantage. Its all about haveing a good time anyway! |

Of course, you have to wear the same for Wednesday night.
Darby was brilliant last night by the way. He's been in the money 2 of the last 4 weeks. The fact that there were only 2 entrants each week has nothing to do with it.
I figure on Wind night there will be at least 20. I'll also help Joe out and get him to go to 4 places that night, maybe even 5. |

But golf is not my hobby, and I'm just trying to avoid spending too much on accessories I'm probably never going to use again.
I can pick up a pair of Footjoys on the bay for $35. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'm excessively cheap, but Beal got a great discount at what looks like a wonderful course. Wabbit, when I went down to Arizona a few years ago, I didn't want to haul my clubs and the Wooden Roundback, so my dad borrowed a neighbor's clubs so I could go out and play 9 holes with him. I don't think there were 2 of the same brand of clubs in the bag and none less than 10 years old. I shot a 37. Best 9 of my life. In spite of the marketing, for us duffers, the equipment doesn't matter much. My new driver just helps me hit it 20 yards further--out of bounds. Just wear tennis shoes if they'll let you and borrow some clubs. I have an extra set of clubs you could borrow, too, if you don't mind real wood woods. They were great clubs back in 1970. |

Thanks, Mark, clubs aren't a problem. I inherited my dad's old set, but I'm not hauling them to FL. I don't have a problem renting a set if they don't allow sharing. If they require shoes, that's not a problem either, I'll just pick up a chea... inexpensive pair.
Yes, I looked at the ARGC site, and Beal wangled a BIG discount, and that is very cool! THANKS, BEAL!! 
I'm expecting this to be a lot of FUN! Well, for me. The other three in my foursome may use a different word when we get back to the clubhouse... if you don't hear from me Thursday night, please ask the police to check the water hazards for any shreds of clothing the gators didn't eat. |

He'd rather wear the shoes of a stranger that make his foursome partner feel useful and needed. |

...at least not for that reason, anyway...

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Thanks for the update, Wabbit. I'm pretty handy in the garage so I'm going to track down some of those rubber spikes and install them on some old sandals. Not sure why. Having spikes will eliminate one excuse for why I play so horribly. Even when I did play, I eventually gave up trying to use woods. 200 yards straight with an iron (didn't seem to even matter which iron) was always more preferable than what I could do with one of the woods (out of bounds, in the trees, in the pond, through a window, behind the T, etc.). That's why I'm hoping for "Best Ball" because then I won't even bother with wood shots off the T. In fact, I may not in any event. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | He was funny. There's a video on the golf swing that I should send to Waskel if I find it. Someone sent it to me because I've been known to overanalyze my swing. It starts out like any other instructional video and then rattles off about 27 steps to think about when you hit the ball. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I've got a ton of them. For some reason really bad golfers use Titleist ProVs and then lose them at about $3 a pop. I'm a really bad golfer, too, but I keep finding these expensive golf balls in the woods or the water when I'm looking for my cheap ones.
Sunday, I apologized to some people who threw my ball back on the course. They said, "you didn't hit our house. You flew over the house and across the street." I lost that ball later, but found a few more ProVs.
Actually, go down to Target and buy a bag of balls. Leave them all in Florida so you don't have to bring them back. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I used the army golf phrase several times on Sunday and finally on the 13th hole, one of the foursome finally got it. I was just way right and center, no lefts. Usually I have the army thing down. Another guy accused me of sandbagging on my 25 handicap, but I told him to just wait. Sure enough, I finished 25 over. I play much better when I don't count any penalty strokes and take lots of Mulligans. |

I have never played above a 36...come ta think of it, nor has anyone else...sounds like a lucky lottery #...excuse me, but I have to run to tha corner store. ;) :D |

I just didn't want to arrive unprep'd and end up paying premium prices in the golf shop. I'll bring a few good ones for those tee shots I think I can make. There are maybe four of them according to the course layout. |

maybe I'll wear a coconut bra and no one will pay attention to the swing.
Fair warning to all...even standing behind me might be dangerous. |

The big joke is after two Jack & cokes, he'll hit every ball he sees whether he's just hit or not, but he STILL shoots better than a 90. Must be all the practice he gets every hole. ;) |
