Official Jon Gruden Thread XIX

[vol494]

Scratch is out of business, he told us the story,basically couldn't compete or advertise.

Wasn’t Ryan Moore involved in some way with Scratch?

 

[volfan1631]

I played the old macdonald putt putt in pigeon forge. I didn't think i was gonna make it out alive.

 

[JFreak]

Played there too man. That was the most expensive round of golf I ever played. Kaanapali was the most beautiful surroundings I ever played in maui.

A few days a year you can play for $300. Totally worth it then. But yes right now (peak season) it's running $565.

 

[goinuponatuesday]

Why was it surreal and what time of year did you play it?

Man walking down those fairways with the rich history in the fact that tiger, jack, Arnold and all those guys left behind legacies there. It is the most lush and upkept course you will ever play. The greens put you in for the craziest putting day of your life. It's something you can't explain until you experience it. It was something that is one in a lifetime experience.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Let me just say this. If any of you are trolling this thread for the sake of a good laugh and you're actually a UT fan then you're a sorry piece of trash and you deserve every bit of the last decade. That would be a really shi**y thing to do to fellow fans. That's something a Florida or Bama fan would do. Not a true Vols fan and you should come clean now.

That being said, if you're trolling and you're an opposing team fan then I have to say well played. :hi:
That and you have way too much time on your hands.

 

[FacelessArya]

I think some of us got started on that a good while ago.

Yup. Bout to hit munchie time. And I have Stack Cake. 😎

 

[Rebel VOL]

I love me some beaver, fits well with my grud

Ya played with my father in law. It was in the 500's per. That was also a surreal experience but not like Augusta.

Used to hustle some guys on that course back in the day

 

[TN-POSSUM]

The Gruden thread died in 2012, this is a cheap knock off.

They're gonna keep on and get Freak back in here. He dropped the hammer last night.

Awesome, I know, been several times myself. What time of year did you play? Which hole did you think had the most elevation change?

Just wanted to share this quick nugget:

I spoke with a golfing buddy at my club who is a “prominent” ESPN personality this afternoon. He went through the “restructuring” earlier this year unscathed but was forced to renegotiate his contract.

I specifically asked him about Gruden, and his contract — he said that he had heard his name mentioned in the rumor mill of those who would be at risk in the next go around, especially right after the craziness where ESPN laid off nearly 100 personalities/contributors.

TIFWIW, those theorizing about this aren’t “wrong” — maybe JG sees the writing on the wall, or at least its factoring into his decision?

(I have attached a pic to enhance my credibility) LOL

 

[ericberry4heisman]

EB4H! Glad to have you back, brother!

Never left, been lurking the whole time. I'll be here till the end.

 

[KB5252]

They keep talking about golf courses but I'm more interested in the other greens.


Oh and Gruden





Soon!

 

[revjayp]

Ya bro, I had the opportunity to play it two times!!! An artist I train had it written in his contract for a concert he was playing. It was the most surreal thing I ever experienced. You have to know a member to play and even then it's so hard to play. I shot an 81.... the greens r unreal. Amen corner was incredible

That’s my number 1 bucket list item in life.

 

[VFLnSFD]

My husband and I played the municipal course on Maui for about $40 each. Still on the ocean.

 

[Remy]

There is soooooooooooo much Purina Troll Chow being dispensed in this thread. Some dispensing it are actually beginning to eat some from their own bowl. The meltdown is going to spectacular to watch along with member names disappearing again for a year or two, it will come about ... soon.

 

[dbarker]

I heard the only hold up is making UT a wet campus and serving Corona at Neyland.

I know this is a joke, but if this were the true hold up, VOLS FANS WOULD RIOT if we didn't do this. So many fans want alcohol for the games lol. Especially lately. Thats why Ill never go for the Florida, UGA, or Bama games... Cardiac Vols make me need a drink or three.

 

[norriscraftbasser]

Not sure,acorriding to him there were quite a few people involved.

 

[andywilson001]

and those who get that view really have no need to impress those of us who inhabit the lower altitudes, like us common folk here.

No...there's just something about you that screams "fake" to me. I'm not a blue-blood; i'm an old cop. But i can spot bullsh*t a mile away, and you reek of it.

You're trying too hard for e-cred. You have no reason to be here other than to serve your ego.

So you drive a bmw. Good for you. I paid more for my wife's pathfinder platinum than you would for a good used 3 or 5 series bmw. Color me not impressed.

Mit alums...you know, rich and influential ones like you...are rare around these parts. And much like a picasso at a flea market, they're usually fakes.

I'm just sayin'

go vols.

ha! Got eem!

 

[BearCat204]

Either which way is going to be epic. Either we rejoice with the hiring of Gruden, or this place has an epic and entertaining meltdown lol.

Go Vols.

Cops do have that ability to sniff out a rat. Got several cop friends and they can spot things I never could.

I think we may know each other

 

[OrangeBlood4life]
