Ripping.Off.The.Aussies: Four Word Course Reviews
« on: April 01, 2007, 03:33:41 AM »
Posters on an Oz web forum have been having fun the last year with four-word reviews of golf courses.  (They got the idea from www.fwfr.com -- an acronym for "Four Word Film Reviews.")

This is too fun to leave to the Southern Hemisphere.

Here are a few to start:

Pebble Beach: first-born sold off
Miramar (NZ): geez it's windy here
Pinehurst #2: you are still away
Addington: Noades now "suggestion box"
Kauri Cliffs: better bring a rope!
Yale: can't stop leg shaking

A few more...
Yale: ran out of dynamite
Royal New Kent: need another Dramamine tablet
Wallasey: thank God for Stableford
Hall of Fame (NLE Tampa): ...put up (a) parking lot (Thanks Joni Mitchell!)
Prairie Dunes: Whoa, ball! Whoa! Whoooooooa!!!!!

Have fun!

Yale: Wow, terrific,  love it
Myopia Hunt: 9th hole soooo cool
NGL: brilliant, marvelous, genius
Augusta: best test short game
Tobacco Road: Only for the brave
Sanctuary: Bring your "A" game
Spyglass: Great opening 5 holes
Pasitempo: Play back 9 twice


Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

Wildness without creativity--death
Best strategist will win
All wimps will wither
Barrels of Monkeysish fun
Jones smiling in grave
Still the best major
Great seeing Ran apoplectic
Tyger, Tyger burning bright
Not for the bourgeoisie
