That's funny. Just show up and introduce yourself as David. Get there before him and you're all set! :D

Now that would really SUCK, to get turned away at the gate.  "Sorry dude, nice try, but David has already checked in.  Get the hell outa here before I call the cops!" :cry:

Alright, here we go..... Wow, what a day!  I was so stoked for the day, that over the last couple of days I've had to remind myself that things like this seldom really live up to the hopes and

I just got a call from GolfNow.  I was their top booker in the Orlando area this past year (it helps to book for a small group of nuts just like us) and they asked me if, as a reward, I'd be available

Alright, sorry for the delay, my daughter's birthday was this past weekend and I was tied up.  I'll see if I can't fill in some of the fun stuff now...... Graeme was a lot of fun to play with.

This is a really great opportunity... Enjoy David!  Be sure to brag/tell us all about it... and I wouldn't be surprised if you had run ins with other famous golfers.  A lot of pros or past pros live there (Annika, Justin Rose, Ian Poulter, Yani Tseng... and of course your date, McDowell).

Makes me wonder, does this present a marketing opportunity for a Sand Trap & GolfNow partnership?  Not sure who runs this site, but I wonder if they've seen this and some wheels are spinning.

I'm pretty confident they know what's going on... :-)

But if I were to just mention TST in polite conversation, that wouldn't be bad, would it? :-)

Nah, go for it (if you want).

Plus, that would be better than mentioning TST in impolite conversation. :-)

Within that you can have a thesis entitled, "Why the World Golf Rankings are Incorrect: Everyone from Tiger to Dufner is Overrated!"

Haha, just saw, for the umpteenth time, the commercial where Graham says to another player, "Honey, what are you doing back here at the men's tee."  Hope he doesn't say that to you, David.  LOL

But then again, what the hell do I know?

MASSIVE...ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS AMOUNT OF JEALOUSY

G-Mac has been my favorite golfer for a lonnnnng time now and one of the reasons why I took up the game. He seems like a class act every time he's on camera and hey...he loves his Guinness. Can't wait for the details of how the round goes and what's he like in person.

So ****ing awesome.

he ranked 161 out of 180, right in between bombers Jeff Maggert and David Toms.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      No rain while I was out (9am to 11:30am). Fairly pleasant for a late November day in the Mitten.

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲
