Where are you guys?

[Dan Kelly]

not really sure what they are about.  

www.spicygolf.com is the home site of Der Spicy Putter!

Wonder if it works with Der CLAW (tm)?

Rich --

I've somehow missed the story behind that picture.

Care to tell it again?

Dan

It was the early 80's and Skibo Castle was up for sale.  Just for fun, I wore my Saudi outfit to the Burghfield House Hotel one night, claiming to be a potential buyer.  A few friends decided that it would be a good idea if I continued the spoof on the golf course the next day.  One of them played in a full kilt, acting as my ghillie; another played in his overalls, acting as my gardener, and the other (a senior offical of the Royal Bank) well, just played himself.

The Club President nearly swallowed his monocle when he caught a glimpse of us on the course.

Ah, those were the days, my friend.........

[Dan Kelly]

Rich --

Thanks.

All I can say is:

You appear to have had a swing every bit as good as Kim Jong Il's!

[Kyle Harris]

Is it just me, or does George Pazin look like Hal Sutton in that picture?

Still have that swing, just not as many holes-in-one as the Great Leader.  Of course, as he is dead, I have a chance of catching up to him....

RAN!!!!

......if you are listening......

Please incorporate this map into the site.

[James Edwards]

Yes, Im there now, backing up Rich's effort and 2nd to enter from the British Isles - with a little note to Brian Philips to post to add some Norweigen Flavour to the Map.

[Jari Rasinkangas]

I'm in.  Also Finland on the golfing world map.  

[Jason Topp]

I just realized you can convert the map to a sattelite photo.  First time I have gotten to see Fishers Island, which comes through very clearly.

[THuckaby2]

With a great sense of irony, Yahoo's Huckster was the first to place himself on the map.  

I was sure hoping no one would notice that.  

[ForkaB]

I still think of the AwShuckster as a Clorox kind of guy........

[THuckaby2]

I still think of the AwShuckster as a Clorox kind of guy........

As do I.  13 years of loyalty doesn't go away overnight.  I will always love and defend that great company.

But of course being a Yahoo fits me so well, as my Dad keeps reminding me....

 

[Michael Wharton-Palmer]

Rich,
Thanks for the Skibo story and this map thing is rather cool...

Having written my honors thesis on Gulliver's Travels (and its influence on Joyce's Ulysses) I know of Yahoos, and you are not one, yet, no matter what your father might say.......

[THuckaby2]

Rich - my Dad made pains to explain that to me as well - big Gulliver's Travels fan is he.  In fact it was rather funny how he made sure I knew this.  "Thomas, of course you know I mean that in how the term has come to be used today.... the crude unsophisticate part of the term..."

Interesting, I asked our main PR person recently if they ever get Gulliver's Travels inquiries, or if that had any play in selection of the name... the answers are Yes and No....

[Marty Bonnar]

Yippee!
I've been frappr'ed. Tucked in very nicely behind Mr Goodale with one more photo of the world's finest golf courses despoiled by a fat GCAer's physog...

You know who I'm talking about, Mr Fence-bender!!!

FBD.

Well I never... and I'm sure I have no idea... (blushing).

 

[George Pazin]

Is it just me, or does George Pazin look like Hal Sutton in that picture?

I can look like just about anyone in the right light. Which is why my wife prefers the lights real low....

[Dan Kelly]

The Great Leader's last words, little reported in the West: "One can never have too many holes in one....."

[astavrides]

i agree he does look like Hal in that picture.  there was another thread in which he was compared (in looks) to Reteif Goosen and Lee Westwood without the down's syndrome.

[Daryl "Turboe" Boe]

With a great sense of irony, Yahoo's Huckster was the first to place himself on the map.  

In defense of Huck, I was the first name on the list so he felt safe in being the second.    But I subsequently erased my original post so that I could do it again with a picture added.  Unfortunately this thing isnt real user friendly when it comes to any kind of editing.  As the administrator I can erase entries entirely, or delete their picture or phrase only, and that is about it.

So you are safe Huck.

[Ash Towe]

Thanks Turboe, this is a very cool map.  Manged to be the first one for New Zealand.  Could be interesting to see other internationals join in.

[Michael Whitaker]

Good job, Daryl! I'm in.

Whit

[Daryl "Turboe" Boe]

I guess I should have put down Mauldin so we are not on the same spot Mike.  Since I really live down here in Mauldin, I am not sure why my address is Greenville.

[SPDB]

Rich - Your picture update prompts a couple of questions.

1. Are you in denim (if not totally, at least on the lower half?)?
2. Running shoes?
3. Fore!?!

[Philip Gawith]

Bump - in the hope that those 1,381 laggards step up to the plate.
