Yeah, suicidal chipmunks are always tragic......

Maybe they weren't served by the time we played, although we played a few weeks before opening, so there probably wasn't any food at all on our first round.....

It was just so funny at grand opening, because they were featuring MN products on every hole.  We got to the snack bar and the vendor was so excited to see Pawlenty.  He begins his pitch by saying that its a real problem at outdoor parties to have both round and hot dog buns for burgers and dogs, and he has the perfect solution, the coiled brat!  Then he pulls back the top bun to show the guv the sandwhich, and it did look like a flaming pile of poop.

Politically inclined as always, the guv said he wasn't hungry, and that it seemed like a fine idea, but there may be "some presentation problems" with the product.  I had to hold back blurting out what I though!  I don't know if the vendor got it, but after we drove away, we couldn't help but giggle.

Seve Ballesteros, in a 2000 Golf Digest interview:

Q:  What do you miss most?
A:  The pressure.

[Adrian_Stiff]

Id say Wind makes golf less fun for most. Still conditions are preferred, people relate fun to doing well and thats easier to do in easy conditions. I think holes that flatter are good so a 480 yard downhill par 5 where you hit it in two and make an eagle is enough to recharge a golfers funometer for month.
Good company can hep you get over playing badly, playing a new course too can be fun. Competitive golf and golf at the higher levels is less fun, 16 handicappers tend to enjoy golf more than 4 handicappers.

1. Chicks dig golfers.

2. The great clothes we get to wear.

[Ben Sims]

Ooh, I know this one.

It's fun because of one thing.  Interaction with things that bring us joy.  How do you explain joy?  You can't and don't even try.  But the pat on the back from a good friend after a well struck shot in a beautiful place is just about as good as it gets.  Does it even need explaining?

Ben...this is money..."Interaction with things that bring us joy".

NICE!!

  Alligators?

The two times I've seen an aligator on a golf course definately added to my enjoyment of the round.  I find it to be some of the more quirky architectural features that a designer can choose to highlight.

All good reasons why we love golf.  I'd add 'Anticipation' to the mix.  I'll never forget those 10 hr rides in the back of a station wagon with my sisters on our way to Disney World.   Nowadays the same rush is found leading up to golf trips with the likes of you guys!

  Agree. I've spent many hours in Eric's car and that added to the golf experience greatly. Even Kavanaugh was slightly hospitable in the car once. Who new DQ had a dance floor?

The way we dress in Scotland, of course the ‘Chicks’ dig us – we are ready and swinging

The R&A Golfer



Also the more natural event, totally Scottish, we throw the player not our clubs - after all the clubs cost money   One point worth noting, no balls or spectators have been hurt or damaged whole ‘tossing off’ the Scotsman   only a few exhausted Ladies perhaps – I leave that interesting picture in your mind  , right Ladies.



Sorry, are we talking about Golf or having fun?

  I have a kilt by the way. But can't tell the front from the back because it does not have a zipper.

EVERYTHING. There is no single thing in golf that isn't fun.

The competition.
The pressure.
The one in a million shot that comes off.
The partners.
The food.
The variety in each game.

Golf is a great game..

The nature of a man  VS  the nature of the land

..... combine a firm undulating course with some wind and a good match.

[Joe Hancock]

Easy for you to say, Hancock, since your 3 wood to the Par 5 at the Mines I listed yesterday as the greatest golf shot I've ever seen.
Sure - everything's fun, everything's peach-fuzz. Try hacking it around a course like I do for 4 hours and see how much you'd have. I'd be a fun-loving and loveable Joe Hancock too if I could regularly break 80 without breaking a sweat...

All my joy stems from the company I keep.

Are you a lonely man who enjoys playing golf alone

[Joe Hancock]

Melvyn,

You have an uncanny grasp of the obvious.

I believe that comes from my American blood line, its uncanny

Most fun golfing experience: Ambrose round at the end of a visit to Barnbougle. Some of our gathering had already departed but the final 8 of us formed two teams. Much comaraderie; much competitiveness between the teams; no-one too fussed by a poor shot; everyone in team excited by a good shot; worked with golfers of varying standards. Magic ingrediant: Doakism eg having 4 tries to putt up a bank and then have it back roll down the bank at a different angle, as the only possible way to get near the hole...

Perennial least fun aspect of golf: searching for balls.
Ultimate irritation: group of 4 all searching for a ball which finished within a yard of the fairway, and this happening on a Mackenzie course.

[John Kirk]

Watching the ball react.

That's right, Mike.  For the ball, golf is a Zen sport.  It simply reacts.

[Garland Bayley]

And the amount of time it takes to finish reacting is key.
