"The new fall golf fashions from The Gap are here!"
-
"Excuse me, sir. This is a denim-free golf club. Who, may I ask, allowed you on the premises?"
-
“Basically, the 1st hole is directly behind me. Yes, it’s my NEW form of minimalism!”
-
Man ... it's gonna be a long day with these gutta balls.
-
"Don't be a wang."
"Let's see Nicklaus's ball striking with this!"
-
"I will run Ladanian Tomlinson more to open up the passing game for Philip Rivers...but be patient, we can't play the Raiders every week."
-
"A golf shot should be... savored through the spectrum of emotions, and back again, measured only by the time it takes to come to fruition."
-
'Business Casual Right?'
-
"Mr. January on the 2008 'GCA Geek' calendar"
-
"Hey Jim, Do you think JN pulled a Happy Gilmore and actually showed up at the 18th green last night?"
-
"I don't understand what a golf club should be, either."
-
"So I jumped ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas..."
-
So that's why they call him "tripod." I had something much worse in mind... :o
-
"I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, consultin' with the rain..."
-
"I've been playing the ProV1x but the launch monitor says a Spalding Dot gives me a little better spin and launch angle".

"Can somebody please tell me what a golf shot should be?"

The ultimate contrast in dress: Going 'Muni' with the jeans and hiking boots, and 'Trump' with the windshirt of a course with a $500,000 initiation fee.

Scott:
You are only off by 50%...the fee is now $750,000!

Wow, I never saw that resemblance, Jay, but you are spot on there. You may want to edit your post to reflect the addition of Chris Chambers, though. :)
Cheers,
Brad

I'll do it...my way.

Here's one of the funniest jokes about Norv Turner, you have to sit through a ten second ad first, but it's a hoot.

Hey Kalen, I love your new pic. Who is that? Please say Page McConnell

"Hickory dickory Doak..."

Jim, that's great ;D
How does the rest of the rhyme go?

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
Ya damn right!
Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!
Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
SHAFT!
Right On!
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!
He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
JOHN SHAFT!
With apologies to all concerned
But I did think that with his dress sense TD is clearly a complicated man.
-
Jay,
You nailed it on the Norv Turner thing, makes your first post make better sense now. ;)
As for the avatar, its not Page.
Here are some hints: Think of a more recent group, say based out of England. He's married to Gwyneth Paltrow. ;D

"For the last time, I will not discuss which features of my outfit were my ideas and which were Jack Nicklaus'. It was a true collaboration."

Yeah I was definitely thinking Coldplay.
Chris, you beat me to that. I was trying to come up with something along those lines.

Nice Kalen! Great photo too. By the way...if there is anyone who's earned the right to wear denim on the course...or a yellow shirt for that matter...it's Tom.
Nancy, on the other hand...

But hey, look at little Bandon hanging out on her three-wood. She has good taste in head covers (which means I have good taste in head covers...)
-
"I knew we should have put a bathroom on this hole!"
-
Jim, that's great ;D
How does the rest of the rhyme go?
I don't remember the real one just Dice Clay's version :-X.

"Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I do know Jordan Wall."

Yup. You heard right. I invite the SOB out here to see the course and play a casual match and he says its only fair if we switch clubs. Then he DEMANDS strokes. He must have given himself the moniker ' Golf's Most Beloved Figure'.

Tee markers? We don't need no stinkin tee markers!

If you build in the cheapest, remotest sites, the government gets very little money out of your work.

Hickory dickory Doak
There's a Nicklaus I would choke.
He tries to takes all my credit,
but I just won't sweat it
As my Ballyneal is the GOAT (greatest of all time) ;D

"I like to think in negitive space, start casual and just put the old formal stuuff were the eye plays to" ;)
-
"i had the guys in the trailer modify the whipping to optimize my launch angle."
or
"just wait til we burn the gorse"

Yea, this is the look I used to beat out Justin Leonard and Tom Watson as the Polo spokesmodel.

My first thought was "Ladies love hickory shafts" but that didn't sound appropriate, so unfortunately, I came up with a couple of others:
1. "I can't believe that I finally get to meet Hamilton Hearst today!!!"
2. Headline: "Dale Earnhart out, Tom Doak in as new Wrangler Man."
3. "Those guys on GCA are such dorks!!!"
4. "Where's a dozer, I gotta shape something!!!!"
I am done now.

This thread brings absolute joy to me. Hard to believe it was 13 1/2 months ago. Look at that man's face. It was a special day.

The last few have been very funny. Thanks for those.
Adam...Of course my Cheryl took this picture. There are a few other good ones, but this is my favorite.

When I saw the pseudo-gorse, I knew I had to build here.
