It would probably sell out, then the money would talk.
Episode 1: Jim Brenner with a KX 250 shoved up the arse.

Episode 2: Jim's yard, a few duffers and a couple wedges.

Episode 3: An S300 broken off.

wow, lighten up golf-whiz. Your name Francis by any chance?

Can't fathom ever doing it. I'll play putt-putt golf occasionally and I've gone to a driving range once or twice just to get some aggression out, but it's still not nearly as good as the batting cages.

George Carlin said it best, "watching golf on TV is about as exciting as watching flies f*ck".

Last name, we met, yes.

Sorry, I get a bad attitude when the spoken word, or a threat is directed toward a golf course. It's the jealousy that I can't comprehend.

I actually like playing golf, and could shoot in the 70's back in grad school (when I should have been at the lab bench instead of at Brookside). And carts are evil...I always walked the course. Except for stunts.

That being said, from an impartial 3rd party standpoint, it is a ridiculous game, and taking a look at guys like Daly and Stadler make it hard to say "golf" and "athlete" in the same sentence with a straight face. It is one of the most difficult games in the world though...

I don't think it is jealousy. Golf is a silly game. I like it a lot, but still a silly game. And some of the people who play it are raging pricks. I've run into some of the biggest jerks in the world on the golf course. Some great ones too. Like any hobby.

And golf courses are generally pretty bad for the environment. Except for Bushwood...

:D

I spent way too much time as a little kid following my dad around a golf course. He was pretty good, I guess, winning some local tournements and such. Didn't matter to me at the time; I simply learned to hate the game. The only real benefit was I learned to cuss way better than the rest of my eight year old contemporaries. They thought I was pretty cool.

I think I'll watch "CADDY SHACK" today

I used to play a lot of golf...in flight school I would dip in the very high 70's once a month or so, course dependent.

I play maybe three times a year now, almost always a best ball drink-ex. (My old office hosts the annual Bedroom Invitational for the coveted plaid jacket.)

That said, the only golf I can stand to watch on TV is the last day and the final few hours of a major only if it is close. I love the pressure.

When I was throwing down with the jr.s back in the late 80's early 90's the Kuene family was huge in Dallas. They had all the tools. I played one round with Hank where I should have had his dad removed from the course. He was coaching him, it didn't matter though, my 1 iron quieted his driver. He (Ernie) is a dick, plain and simple, much like tigers dad was. Trip must be the milk mans boys, he's alright.

My dad taught me etiquette, I learned the rest on my own.

There's a$$hats any place you go in life as evidenced by some of the dickheads here, just something one has to accept in life.

I'll watch the Open today. I always watch the majors. I have enjoyed golf my entire life and always will. Those that don't appreciate the game, that is fine. There are games I'm not into as well.

To me, golf is a character builder. Played many a round with customers and friends over the years, there is much to be learned about a person from the way one behaves on the course, nothing to do with what they shoot.

People that don't like the game, that's fine with me. We're all probably better off w/o them on the course.

Many times I think you're actually trying to make me vomit. :)

One reason I choose not to play is because of said a$$hats. If I'm one of them, then I can only help the pace of play by not engaging.

I hate to admit, but La Tigra has it to lose. Aaron Baddeley will most likely fold like a cheap suit. Maybe some of the players at 215-216 can fire nice rounds.

Been watching for an hour now and haven't seen the fairway yet.

I thought you said you wanted to lose weight. I'm just trying to help...

What a great championship! La Tigra lost it just like I envisioned. I guess he's pretty much done now, might as well enjoy retirement at 32. Stick a fork in him.

I love the game of golf and I am a fair player myself having a USGA index of 15.6. I find the majors to be fantastic events and I love to watch. My only beef is that they’re played at places which IMHO are never (with few or 1 exception) really accessible to the public. In the US Open’s case I would hardly call it open.

My mother is a very fine golfer, extreme low handicapper, and we were discussing Oakmont. She’s played some fine courses around the world and I asked if she’s played there. “yea sure Jewish woman are allowed to play there all the time”

Remember one time I was with some buds, four-wheeling through the woods in my Bronco. We were in some uncharted territory but keeping a good pace. We chanced upon a nicely-finished trail and figured 'why not' and followed it. Well it seems that path was a maintenance road for a golf course.

Cruising along at a good clip, we suddenly burst onto the green of a hole at the local private country club. I slammed on the brakes in horror and stopped. The recent rain had left the green soggy, and we plowed some nice deep muddy grooves into the turf.

A golf ball dropped from the sky near the green. "Plop". It sounded like a cannonball. We looked up to see a group of very irate duffers alternately regarding us, and their golf clubs. It seems they had all thought of a new use for their irons. I pulled the wheel hard left, pulled a muddy 180' doughnut, and sped off into the woods. I cannot remember when we stopped laughing.

How'd you do on the back nine?
