Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Trump National: Guilty Pleasures.
« on: October 22, 2011, 10:29:22 AM »
So we all have a few guilty pleasures, and that definitely includes golf courses.  For me, it's a Fazio course: Camp Creek, in the panhandle of Florida.  I thought this course was a blast, but seems to be much hated by those esteemed critics who have played it.

What are your guilty pleasures?  I'm thinking golf courses here (but if you're in a musical mood, tell me how you like Rhianna--just don't cop to being a Gaga fan like Eric Smith).

More importantly, is it worth it to take the time to appreciate these golf courses that others might hate?

Not a Camp Creek hater, but a sand based site with significant elevation changes a stone's throw from the beach was good enough to produce a golf course that easily cracked Golfweek's top 100 modern list.  A 5.5 that could have been an 8.

John you already know mine...Meatloaf and the Jones Course at Palmetto Dunes. I would love nothing more than to be playing there right €%*¥ing now. What I would really love is to play it with a few posters, or raters or snobs who would enlighten me as to why it sucks. I am always willing to learn and would welcome the critical analysis.

Whoever has selected the latest run of KP songs (Firework, Skyscraper) must be in the business of ruining her career...takes an average voice and asks it to hit notes it can't possibly reach...so sad. Get her back in her range (IKAG, Teenage Dream) and she's fine.

Good Catholic boy that I am, I feel no guilt, ever. I love all golf courses equally and am too numb to know when one is better than another. In fact, I'll confess right here and now that, a few weeks back, I rode a cart and I like it, taste of its rubber tires...I could go on, but I'd puke.  John Lyon was there to witness my cart porn and after a few rounds of smelling salts and electro paddles, we brought him back from the light.

Well, there's a replica course near where I lived called "Wooden Sticks".  Mock all you want, but it's as close as I'll ever get to holes from (and that look and maybe play sort of, kind of like those from)  Augusta and Oakmont and Pine Valley and Sawgrass and The Old Course (biggest green I have ever played -- gone on in regulation, and then 4 putted).  It was a heck of a lot of fun imagining I was a touring pro.   I also when the mood strikes like Perry Como and early Martin and Lewis films (but then again, I don't understand why everyone doesn't...)

  Rhianna reminds me of my ex-wife. My guilty pleasure is experiences the different cultures when traveling for golf. Many great memmories off the golf course.
