Re: Should We Blow Up Merion And Just Start Over?

When I was at merion for the US Amateur they turned off all the drinking fountains (or should that be both of them?) around the course so that those of us needing to quench our considerable thirst (gained the night before in the company of Messrs Paul and Morrisson) should buy Merion's own bottled water.

Tell me!

Were those bottles filled from the original showers or from the newer showers put in when they allowed ladies into the clubhouse. I should hate to think that I had parted with good money for water emanating from the ladies' room! Unfortunately it was non-vintage and so I could not easily deduce from the label whether this was pre-ladies or post-. Intensive tasting did reveal an underlying hint of Chanel Number something, but given the nature of the relationship between the men mentioned above, even that is no proof. Put me out of my misery, please! I need to know!

Mark,

I am not sure that was the reason. There was a concern a few years ago about the sanitization of golf course drinking water. They probably were worried about that and figured if any crowd got sick from water, it should be bottled water.  No need to have to add that kind of incident to the Merion history books!

Shivas,

Please forward a check for $75 to my attention.  I have spewed coffee all over my keyboard and my employer has requested reimbursement. 

Mike Young,

Any documentation of the disposable razor allocation at Merion?






Michael,
I think the younger membership at Merion has taken up weinershaven and razor usage is up.....I will check into it more....

I think you have all made this way too complicated.  From the good doctor:

"The first purpose of any shower head should be to give pleasure, and that to the greatest number of shower users, without respect to their natural heft". - Dr. Alister Mackenzie

What really pisses me off is that during the last supposed "restoration", the urinals were signifcantly deepened, and their previously weathered faces now look just like any old Country Club for a day's stalls.
