I'm with Kavanaugh but for a different reason ::)  too lazy to put a list together.


But I am considering breaking into a local tavern (maybe Maynard's Margate)  bring my own twelve pack of Rolling Rock, sit at the bar and make all my own selections on the juke box. When the gendarmes arrive will leave a tip for the bartender before they haul me away!


woo woo

Reminds me of a story from the last time the World Cup was in the US.  Bunch of Irish fans took over a bar somewhere in Florida.  Basically overwhelmed the place and forced the bartenders, bouncers and staff outside.  Cops were called and when they showed up they took one look and said what the hell do you want us to do?


When the owner showed up the next morning, the place was spotless and there was a note on the bar saying thank you and telling him to check the till.


They had collected cash for every drink served and left it with a very healthy tip.

Ira,

What is the ETA for this?  I'm sure it is a lot of work compiling everyone's bastardized formats and list preferences.

Good exercise.

Jeff,


At my advanced age, life is all about delegation. One of my colleagues who has some time on his hands volunteered to do the compilation. He is on the beginning of his golf course architecture journey so thought it a fun way to learn about courses. He is pretty close to finishing but asked me to do one more push to increase the participants.
