If you want to be a sport there needs to be defence!

I don't know about that; trees put up a pretty good zone defence against me.

I agree with Locke, mostly because as much as I love him, I refuse to call John Daly an athlete

In the mind of a prescription sunglasses salesman, everyone needs prescription sunglasses.

haha, you're probably right, though.

I'm just going to go ahead and blame my horrible slice with my woods (and ADD making me give up on looking for my ball after 30 seconds) on needing prescription glasses

I've gone in that exact get up for Halloween hah.

And I am typing this with my fake cigarette in my mouth.

Also, I've had to "quit" fake smoking around my wife because she was concerned it was getting a little weird. Had to throw out my pack and everything. Now I just have one at work and one in my car. No longer can fake smoke around the house or in the car with the family. It's a tough addiction to break, no doubt about it.

Back in, oh, '98 or so my buddy went as Hunter, and I as his attorney. We paired perfectly for it.


Sliver, we may just be kindred spirits.

Pink aviators did indeed give off a fear and loathing in Las Vegas vibe. Round small dark glasses give off a sort of an old school G type of vibe. Larger round glasses have sort of a pop star type of vibe.

And it's always looks funny when kids steal them and put them on.

As his attorney, I advised him to take all the drugs. He complied.

Wait a second; you needed a pack? Like it’s fake and not actually burning, so why would need more than one? Was it rolled up into your shirt sleeve?

Yeah I guess not a pack like a normal pack of real ones. They come in a package of 5 or 6. You only want to gum away at them for so long before it's time for a fresh one. When I tossed them I had a brand new pack on deck and maybe a couple left in the current pack.

Speed golf is a real thing...I'm just not sure you can actually play it anywhere here. But I did once by teeing off real early at Fox Hollow. I made a bag out of 4 tubes and duct tape. Pretty sure I carried D, 4, 8, Putter (maybe a wedge, can't remember)

It's kind of like biathlon where you jog until near the teebox and then walk for a moment to get your heart rate down. Way more interesting than the boring conventional method.

I’m pretty sure I was there to see the aftermath. He did in fact turn into a wild ####ing animal.

I worked with a guy at fire that would spray his um, undercarriage, with spray anti-perspirant. Yeah we all laughed at the time, but you know what, today I wish I thought of doing that
