Cypress Point vs The Manatee
« on: October 11, 2012, 10:40:49 AM »
I've never seen either in person but have become obsessed that both are highly overrated sea animals.  What am I missing?  Take away the ocean and you have a Fazio vs a cow.  It could go without saying that I love Fazio's and Steak.  The basis for my current opinion lies in the following two events.

The Alan Shipnuck twitter feed of "The Match".

and the outrage over a woman who rode a manatee

I can confirm that the Manatee is pretty underwhelming...a real head scratcher.

I'd be surprised if Cypress Point can hold a candle to it...

Exactly, we are taught that we are to love both the manatee and Cypress Point but never told why.

I would rather play Cypress Point than swim with a manatee.

I rode a manatee once, but it was while dressed as Lana Turner from "The Postman Always Rings Twice", so I'm not sure that counts.

There's a corollary in here somewhere between drunken motor boaters and vodka infused posters on GCA being a danger to each.

Manatee is a literal sense or for purposes of slump busting?

Peter for once I have to ask you to clarify a point.
Was it you or the manatee dressed as Lana Turner?

John, do you always base assessments of unseen courses on someone else's Twitter feeds?

Mother Nature screwed up with the design of the Manatee...f*&king ugly

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
