a gorjus george lucas yardage book--my favorite souvenir (i look at it maybe 3 x per round)


This would rate high on my "cool" scale also.Does your club host a PGA Tour event or did you hire GL to draw a book for the membership?

BTW--how long did it take the members to figure out the acronyms?

I've put some photos of tee markers from around Asia on my Flickr page, kind of heavy on replicas of tropical fruit but I thought all were quite distinctive:

At Old Town they have a dish of pennies on the counter in the club house to use as ball markers.  They sell them for 10 cents.

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

The first things that comes to mind are the pins at Arcadia Bluffs.  Not sure if it's common in windy areas of the globe, but it's the only place I've played where the pins are only about four feet high, presumably so that they don't break in the high winds.  Kind of messes with your depth perception a bit, but I thought they were kind of a neat touch.

I found these to be ridiculous.  1.  It doesn't get that windy there (compared to other seaside places that have no problems with normal pins); and 2.  it requires the use of a range finder or other electronic yardage devise because it throws off the golfer's depth perception and ability to judge the yardage without an outside aid.


They rock some GPS in the carts.  Problem solved! ;)

My course is located on the Conestoga Trail, one of the first toll roads in the country - it linked Philly and Lancaster and gave its name to the Conestoga Wagon that helped the western migration.

We have a Conestoga Wagon near the 10th green - it acts as a foundation for our honor-halfway station and for occasional times where we have somebody cooking hot dogs or burgers at the turn.
