Golfing in Texas

[Kalen Braley]

You may want to think twice before you golf in Texas....doesn't Lou live there these days?  Anyone want to check his bag for broken shafts?

Was going to post that, even though it reflects badly on at least some golfing Texans.....Last time we made national news, I think it was for a strip club hosting a tourney on a local course and all getting arrested.

Was lead story on 10 PM news last night.  Didn't realize until reading the article that the incident happened on 1-27.

Probably Aggies.

Jeff,

I don't think it reflects poorly on Texas per se...

I've played golf all over the west coast and seen this tense/hostile behavoir everywhere when it comes to slow play.  It just took a Texan to take it to the next level, thats all.

Agree. And, it's not just Texas...

Illinois:   A drunken confrontation on an Aurora golf course over slow-moving players resulted in two arrests, including a man whose swinging of a golf club earned him a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, Aurora police said.

Washington: A 33-year-old man has been booked into King County Jail after he allegedly struck a fellow golfer on the head with a 6-iron club during a fight Sunday on the Auburn Golf Course.... According to police, Compton, his two stepsons and a friend complained to the golf course marshall because the group of golfers ahead of them was playing too slowly, court records show.

As someone who grew up in Texas and still plays a lot of golf there, it's much easier to get a group to let you play through there than Washington DC, where I live now.  DC was recently named the 3rd rudest area in the country (we're coming for you New York and Miami) and I suspect the survey included the group playing ahead of me that's not letting me go through.

[Mickey Boland]

Probably Aggies.

Nah, bunch of reprobate t-sips. 

[Tiger_Bernhardt]

I am betting on aggies being the boys in question.

[Sam Morrow]

Bastards shouldn't have held up the course.

If it had been a sword I might be inclined to agree with you.

West of Ft. Worth, had to be Techtards.

You guys don't understand the redneck education: these guys think the Cowboys Cheerleaders are high class because some of them have houses without wheels.(rumor has is that a few went to junior college for a year,but I digress) And their idea of a true golfer is John Daly.Bet the offending shaft was off a knock off Cobra club called the Snake.

King Snake was legit. Besides come on Mike, you know the idea of a true golfer out there is Robert Landers.

These guys control half of the worlds remaining 41 degree pitching wedges
