PacDunes = Bar Refaeli, OldMac = Jennifer Aniston? New
« on: June 02, 2010, 11:23:15 PM »
I still haven't decided which course I like better, but when a shuttle driver at Bandon asked me what I thought about the course, this was the explanation I came up with.

Old Macdonald is like Jennifer Aniston (at least the charcter she plays all the time on TV/movies). It is approachable, friendly, pretty as heck girl next door with whom you feel instantly comfortable with. She is the kinda girl you want to hang out with all the time and you wil never get bored with.

Pacific Dunes is more like Bar Refaeli. It's got all the curves and bells and whistles. It is exotic, super-model gorgeous, and you lust after it. You know just one round with her will fill all of your golfing desires.

I am not sure which way is better.  But I always did have a soft spot for Jennifer... :)

How does rhinoplasty figure into this analogy?

Rees Jones is the Open doctor sooooooo...

He's the doc who kept operating on Michael Jackson's nose? Too soon? Too mean? :)

Richard, friends don't let friends drink and post.  It's even more embarassing when you are doubly intoxicated by the physical presence of Tom Doak.  Put down that keyboard for the rest of your trip.  Don't make me fly out there for an intervention.

btw, isn't  Bar Rafaeli a theme restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom?

There's a joke in there somewhere about (a) not being able to ride a cart on either of them, (b) playability and/or (c) the length of the rough.  Its too early in the morning for me to actually formulate any of the three into words.

Bad analogy. Access is an issue.

Actually, access is NOT an issue.  It's a public facility!

Weren't you just there?

Bogey, my comment above was with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. But you should fly out here for an intervention and we can all drive down to Bandon for the afterparty.

Spelling:  Refaeli, not Rafaeli, for the Israeli model.

I don't see how Jennifer Aniston (another spelling correction) can remotely be confused with the girl next door, if there is anything remotely humble/real about the GND.

Haven't seen Old Mac, so can't compare.  However, I don't find anything sexy about Pac Dunes.  I do find sexy in Tobacco Road and Tot Hill Farm, and hope to find sexy at Royal New Kent and Stonehouse this summer.

Richard,

Depending on where you miss a shot out there, beware that the sweet, approachable girl next door also has broken glass between her legs.
