who is that? is he related to John Kuester?

2. bouncy houses are injuries waiting to happen even w/o bad weather. kids outta control with hard heads. and then when grownups get in and they’re drunk and try to do flips, well, landing awkwardly on your neck sucks

Actually, the article specifically states that it is NBA teams that are making the Barea comparisons, not Thomas himself. It seems that Thomas believes his game is more Damon Stoudemire-esque…which is a far, far more relevant comparison. I don’t see Thomas & Barea as being similar at all.

It’s no great surprise that I double bogey’d 5 of the first 7 holes.

Funny comment from my dad on the course Saturday…..it’s an old Rodney Dangerfield line, but I had never heard it.

Attempted to watch Natural Born Killers for the first time this weekend. About 15 minutes in when they got to the part with Rodney Dangerfield, we turned it off. Oliver Stone movies are hit or miss. But when they miss, they miss by a wide margin. What a terrible, over-dramatic and far too… I dunno, cinematic (?) piece of crap that was.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
I’m not a golfer but there was a decent course around here that was offering a deal over the weekend. $25 bucks for 18 holes and cart. That seems like a steal, correct?

June 6th, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Yeah, if we’re forced to pay for it, we’ll take it. Plus a lot of the “newer” courses are flat out unwalkable since you have to drive 1000 yards between greens/tees. But, for the local muni’s, we’re walking every time.

They better be involved with revenue sharing next season then.
The 13K was a key figure as it allows them to RECEIVE funds under the leagues revenue sharing agreement.

This. My parents live on a course, and on some holes the walk between green to tee would take 5 minutes. It was built for cart play. Not to mention the steep ass hills that you have to go up and down in hilly N. Georgia. I’d much prefer to walk, but on most courses down here, that’s a brutal chore.

I can’t imagine they’d give you 90 days and a 30K fine for a misdemeanor. Plus, he can’t move back to Texas because he’s on probation in california.
So I think it was a felony.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:51 AM

All depends on what hockey related revenues are, but my guess is that no, they won’t be paying into the pool.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
That’s a good deal. I have seen a good deals like that for 18 holes and a cart on sites like Groupon as well.
I bought a Groupon a few weeks ago for 18 holes and a cart for two people at a pretty nice course for around $40.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Played (and walked) quite a hilly course Saturday and finished in 3:45. We had to pass one group. Without that and probably with a cart, we finish in 3:15. We aren’t even that good, but as I like to say, if you’re going to suck, suck quickly.

Carts can really slow you down, particularly if the group is unwilling to drop one guy off with a bunch of clubs or if the course doesn’t let you leave the cart path.

Off topic, but I had a friend recently try and go into Canada with her family and was pulled for a random check. They found out she had a DUI, and wouldn’t let her cross the border. Is Canada that strict about DUI and DWI laws?

If that’s true, 25% of Wisconsin drivers would not be allowed into Canada.

Did I miss when he moved to California?
he needs to come tell the story, but I can remember before he “disappeared” that he was talking about how his name came up on a warrant list for California. I dont’ know if he went there to get it settled, or got pulled over for speeding or something and taken in. But he was (and knew he was) a wanted man there for a while, and I don’t mean by young lefty’s sister, or married women at the gym.

They’re cracking down on allowing anyone with a record to cross the border.

All I could handle, dirt. All of the black and white switches and the, I guess… symbolism that is used? Just couldn’t take any more. Is the rest of the movie like that? If so, I stand by my statement despite my SSS of viewing.
The 30K would be worse IMO. Jail can’t be fun, but to be down 30K… that will take some time to recover. Plus, I have to think that going dark for 40+ days will cost you your job. Getting a new one with a recent felony on the record won’t be easy. Especially if he’s looking in the entertainment industry again. That type of arrest would probably be construed as a blackmark, yes?

People just need to learn to play ready golf when the course is busy. Get up to your ball, line up your shot and rip it. No need to rush or anything, but you shouldn’t be waiting to hit your ball unless you’re directly in front of the guy behind you. The people who are terrible/beginners but stick with the golf etiquette of “you away, I’m going to stand here and watch while you advance the ball 50 yards” and only after that person hits do they start their practice routine annoy me.

A felony conviction on your record is basically a fatal blow to working anywhere. It shouldn’t be, but most employers won’t take a chance on you unless they are in construction or in a factory. I haven’t worked since August and have not been able to get an employer to give me a chance.
June 6th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
My old man takes a fishing trip up their annually. Last year, they wouldn’t let one of his friends across the border because of a misdemeanor drug arrest 7 years ago.
I say we boycott Canadian imports for a couple of years.

what’s the matter with you, brah? I’m off to hit some balls. Have a nice day, kids.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
that’s on a couple bad lists…
-a reason why the game isn’t growing
-a reason why the game is too expensive
-stupid course design features
there’s a reason why everyone loves old school american courses and scottish links…you step off the green and you’re pretty much at the next tee box. there’s no reason why two holes should be seperated by a quarter mile unless you’re in an area that the terrain necessitates it like a few holes on the bandon properties in oregon, for example.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
Yeah Canada has had that DUI rule for a while now

Yep. Seems like they were cramming courses on pieces of land that weren’t really suited for golf courses in the late 90′s early 00′s.

that’s one part of the reason, the other part is that course owners and architects have ego-issues and want the hardest, toughest, greenest, most immaculate course out there.
and then when the economy goes to shit, they realize how stupid that idea was.
more “natural” coruses that don’t require shitloads of fertilizer and watering are fantastic. brown is not bad on a golf course and these semi-public/private courses that go nuts on the amenities have to pay for the mortgages on their huge clubhouses and pay all those property taxes for having forty thousand acres of property and can’t afford it.
there are a few courses in my area that are truly magnificent, but all the money the course makes goes to pay debt and upkeep rather than getting reinvested into the course itself. i played some place a couple weeks ago that had this huge, CC atmosphere, but the course had fucking weeds in the fairways and the greens were completely chewed up.
fuck that.

Spence, have you heard of Erin Hills in WI? Its got the US Open in 2018 I believe… anyways.. they only had to move dirt on something like 3 holes (!) when they built that course. The architect said it was as if God wanted that plot of land to become a major golf course. From my understanding, all they had to do was add the greens and bunkers on 15 of the holes.

I’m a little surprised it got the Open simply because it’s in the middle of fucking nowhere, there can’t be more than 50 hotel rooms within 30 miles of the place. There’s literally just a 2 lane country road that goes past it and other than that it’s surrounded by farm fields. I’d imagine most would just stay in Milwaukee though.

the USGA under mike davis are really looking at new courses to host opens…chambers bay, bandon’s getting the US Am, erin hills, bethpage black, torrey pines…chambers, bandon and erin hills don’t have a ton of history, and bethpage and torrey are well established public courses, so they’re different, but it’s a new approach of recent vintage that’s really novel.
i like that they’re going after different styles of courses too…chambers and erin hills are drastically different american courses than oakmont and winged foot. variety is quite nice.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
spence, they need to go back to Oak Hill in Rochester again. That’s a beautiful course.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
oh, it’s gorgeous (my grandparents on my dad’s side were members way back in the day)…it’s hosting the 2013 PGA championship.
locust hill is another beautiful course in the rochester/pittsford area.
June 6th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
yes indeed. I never got to see the LPGA tourney there but just driving by the LH course is nice.
