Best of 2015… from us 215

 in Uncategorized by

The last year of 2015…
I was thinking hard about what to do for a thread. Best shots, best player, best event?? and then I thought - Why not the best of us?
The below is just a small glimpse of us what makes us and the TreeHouse what it is. I had to leave out so much stuff, but you know where it is if you need a reminder…. and a good laugh too 🙂

Happy New Year everyone.
May 2016 be even betterer for you and yours.

funny-pictures-auto-432673No one is ever here when I am here and maybe that is good. You know us old guys are opinionated, vocal and don’t care….well some of us at least.

If I missed anyone and I did…..mx2 and his lovely bride….retire south the weather and the people are much better…best to you all and I will see you next year!!!

Well I for one truly appreciate EMC as a member of the TH. If it weren’t for him I’d be dead last in the standings this week !

A woman was sipping a glass of wine whilst sitting on the patio with her husband. She says “I love you so much, I don’t know how I could ever live without you!” Her husband asks “Is that you or the wine talking?” She replies “It’s me ……..talking to the wine”.

Metro, can you put my name at the top of the hoard of Slingers tied at -9?  Where my name is now, it looks like I am hanging out with EMC and Cal.

Just read where the pitcher Vargas was hit in the gonads by a hot line drive and managed to stay in the game for another inning to get the win. He was angry with himself though for not being able to pick up the ball and throw the runner out at 2nd base. His manager, Ned Yost had a great comeback excuse for him though, he said that Vargas probably saw three balls on the ground and couldn’t figure out which one to pick up first.

We are back from a hiking trip in the Swiss National Park. Think Yellowstone, but without the people or cars. We saw loads of wildlife, but this photo of a cow elk and her calf is my favorite because when i took it, I didn’t realize the calf was even there. I was using a Nikon D3200 with an 18-105 zoom lens. A bit of heavy kit to lug around, but it takes much better photos than my iPhone

Well never mind The Open.  There were other people playing golf today you know:-)   I was a little bit miffed to find I had been 1333301749084_5502138paired with the highest handicapped fella in our team – almost as though we had been put down as “the losers”,  but what with my lack of recent play that probably was a sensible call.  Very breezy down here in the south but no rain. Ribs (& both hips) still playing me up but made sure I took painkillers in good time being teeing off.  That layoff has certainly done me good.  For the second time this week, I played better than before the injuries.  A gross 88 which I will grab with both hands, thank you.  No mocking from you “players”!  Putted a little too aggressively for the first three holes, but got the measure after that.  Very happy with all aspects of my game. My partner & I won 7 & 6, giving 2 shots to the opposition.  The team won 7-0, but we had the honour of the best win.  Eating some crow, as my partner played  far better than I had expected.  Sure, he put 3 balls out of play, which focused me sufficiently to win on those holes, but he more than won his fair share of the other holes, to the extent I had to jab him in HIS  ribs & suggest that I putt before him, so I could be credited with more W’s on our card.  He took it as the compliment I intend

Dude, your slow play is holding up the whole course! Move it along!
Saw this fat fellow early this am, when MX and I played speed golf. We got ove 3 inches of rain on Saturday, then they opened a local dam to release more water. Our course still has not recovered. Pumps are working overtime. We slogged through. It was lift clean and cheat today. Bunkers were filled with water. Playing again tomorrow with some lady friends. Hopefully I won’t need my golfing Wellies!

great scramble yesterday, played with my old boss and his brother, none of these guys would break 100 on that course so -8 wasn’t too bad, about 9th out of 29 teams. the only cash prize was a closest to the hole 50/50, players donate $10 and whoever is closest wins half the pot and the other half goes to the association. I hit my 7 iron 165 yds to 9 feet to win $510!

 Here we go Slingers!!!!  THE Open..greatest of the majors and how fitting that it’s at the Royal and Ancient this year.  Crocodile Dundee once said “Now that’s a knife”…had he said “Now that’s a bunker”, he would have almost certainly been talking about St. Andrews.  On the PGA tour you’re a pussy if you can’t get up an down from a bunker to save par.  At St. Andrews if you’re in a bunker you’re just trying to avoid double bogie.   Though I did witness our very own Golfer Deb get up and down from one of those insane bunkers (the top of the bunker was about 15 feet above her head) at Tobacco Road in N.C.   Too bad Rory isn’t in the mix this week.  Who ever has the lead tomorrow…good luck with that.  This is like an NBA Basketball game….it will all come down to the 4th period (Sunday in this case)…expect lots of lead changes, heroic shots and heartbreaking bounces.  THIS IS, what big time golf is all about.  The best on the planet competing on the hollowed grounds of the “holy grail” of golf courses.   Patience, accuracy and above all putting!

maar03-justin-thomas-300x200Hello fellow There…metro…Well I’m working the Quicken Loans PGA Tour stop hosted by Tiger this week. I am in transportation. Today I rode around with Justin Rose, his wife and 2 kids for a bit. Then again with  Justin and Sean Foley.Picked up Retief Goosen at Dulles but his clubs went to Newark N.J. He was on the same plane with 4 others from Orlando and they all got their clubs. Sean O’Hair and two others. Yesterday it was Bill Haas, S. Cink and a few others. It’s nice I get assigned a car for the week to get to and from the course. No shuttle buses and get to drive right to the players lot to park. Lot of hours but it’s only a week, once a year. So I’m cool with it. Talking with the players is fascinating

As there is a German theme this week I thought a German joke may be appropriate.
I deleted all the German names off my phone this week………yes it’s now Hans free…..!!

This guy brings his best golf mate home, unannounced, for dinner at
6:30, after golf. His wife screams her head off while his friend sits
open mouthed and listens to the tirade.

“My bloody hair & makeup are not done, the house is a f****** mess, the dishes aren’t done. Can’t you see I’m still in my f****** pajamas and I can’t be bothered with cooking tonight! Why the f*** did you bring him home unannounced you stupid idiot?”
“Because he’s thinking of getting married.”

 First round of the year is in the books.
Did better than expected, especially on the front nine.  I had six pars, a bogey and two holes where … you know … you had to carry the 1

@metro18 Fucking women always proving how much more giving they are than men.

Now this really pisses me off. Not only is she pretty, plays golf pretty well, but she’s a good person too? WTF? Making the rest of us look pretty bad.

MX, you are one lucky bastard!

Ho Chow called his boss and said…”No work today boss…very, very sick.”

His boss told him that he really needed him today. He said “Ho, whenever i get sick, i go home and have sex with my wife. It always cures me of what’s ailing me.”  Ho said he would try it…

A couple of hours later, Ho called back and thanked his boss for the advice saying he felt great and would be at work shortly.  “By the way, Boss” Ho said….”You have nice house.

Own up.    Be a man.      Carve your road to success.      Don’t fall victim to peer pressure.      Strap on your balls.
In short, listen to your parents, not your idiot cool friends.
Try your best in school, not try to be cool like your idiot friends.
Graduate and get a job and climb the ladder, like your family members did for decades….not stand on the street corner at 2am and deal drugs.
Think…it’s free and it’s expected of an adult…not act like your peer pressure idiot friends.
It’s simple.     Don’t run around the streets of Baltimore or Ferguson at 2am, stealin’ and dealin’, and expect the cops to sit and just watch.
Seriously, this black shit is beyond boring.    Who cares ?

Dear Diary, I finally have hit rock bottom on my Slinger picks.  It is like a Twilight Zone episode.  I look at the leaderboard and right on top I see Metro and EMC!  WTF!  Other than that, I continue to wait for word from Publishers Clearing House.  Oh, yeah.  The chanting is starting to irritate my wife.
