Going golf cart shopping today and saying goodbye to the 15 year old Club Car.

I'm thinking something along these lines:

Why not? It's not like I'd need a cart path.

Settled on a Yamaha Drive in silver. It was time; the Club Car ran well, but there are only so many fields any old mare can plow.

Looks like the hail and tornadoes are going to prevent me from hitting any in the woods today. I guess I could go hang out in the bar at the club, which would bring the average age of the crowd down to 84, but I've still got a little work to do first.

Sounds like it is time to close up shop and go make your weekend spending money playing cards with geezers.

That's what I typically do on Wednesday nights, but I guess it will work on weekends. There are lots of activities tomorrow--the CC brings in some, uh, outsiders who might be inclined to take a wager on a race or a game of chance--but nothing beats the Wednesday night poker game in the men's cardroom.

No work.

nice pick

I missed my window of opportunity 4 yrs ago
When we moved here 4 yrs ago, my wife told me I could get one, I was playing about 3 times a week and I didn't invest in one

Now two kids later, my playing time doesn't warrant one.

Played easily my worst 9 of the season on Sunday. Irons were all over the place. I think the problem is that my cart is too old; the new one should be available for pick-up sometime this week, so that should help a lot.

exactly. it's amazing what a new cart can do for your putting, especially the taller model.

just got a pair of the adidas tour 360 limited jobs and they had no such ipod port. Maybe the extra shoulder strap on my bag has one.

Cotton,

I fully expected to read about the new turbo charged ride today.

Pick up the pace please.

I played 9 this evening--the back for a change, as there was a gaggle of women on the front. The new cart is nice, but the governor is not yet fully adjusted. It accelerates very quickly but tapers off too soon. By the weekend this shall be resolved.

On a stranger note, I played barefoot from the senior tees. It was sort of liberating. I actually hit the ball pretty well. My putting sucked (5 3-jacks) but our greens are still in bad shape so I have an excuse.

eh, just take the governor off. I was umm, fortunate enough(?) to get to drive a non restricted cart last summer at WindStone, just on the Tennessee/Georgia line because all the other carts were being used and i needed one for my job. I was seriously scooting down some of those hills.

The Laws of Golf

LAW 1: No matter how bad your last shot was, the worst is yet to come. This law does not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to extend over the course of a tournament, a summer and, eventually, a lifetime.

LAW 2: Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your worst round ever. The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.

LAW 3: Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water.

LAW 4: Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play. If one does, the tree is breaking a law of the universe and should be cut down.

LAW 5: No matter what causes a golfer to muff a shot, all his playing partners must solemnly chant "You looked up," or invoke the wrath of the universe.

LAW 6: The higher a golfer's handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as an instructor.

LAW 7: Every par-three hole in the world has a secret desire to humiliate golfers. The shorter the hole, the greater its desire.

LAW 8: Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.

LAW 9: Palm trees eat golf balls.

LAW 10: Sand is alive. If it isn't, how do you explain the way it works against you?

LAW 11: Golf carts always run out of juice at the farthest point from the clubhouse.

LAW 12: A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an IRS agent -- or some similar combination.

LAW 13: All 3-woods are demon-possessed.

LAW 14: Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into the water (See Law three).

LAW 15: A severe slice is a thing of awesome power and beauty.

LAW 16: "Nice lag" can usually be translated to "lousy putt." Similarly, "tough break" can usually be translated "way to miss an easy one, sucker."

LAW 17: The person you would most hate to lose to will always be the one who beats you.

LAW 18: The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be.

LAW 19: Golf should be given up at least twice per month.

LAW 20: All vows taken on a golf course shall be valid only until the sunset.
