Wow. It looks beautiful. Is it a public course?

Don't forget to watch the finals of The Big Break tomorrow night. It's going to be an epoch battle. You have Carling who is beautiful and femine vs. some unattractive, masculine South American girl. It's going to be a war out there.

It's public and walking only.

Walking only? Forget that!

Don't be a wuss. US Open in gonna be there in 2015

The last time I walked was in high-school. There is no way I could carry my bag for 18 holes. That bag weighs more than me. I'd have to switch to a small bag for the day if I was going to walk. I think I would still get tired after 9 holes, even with a small bag.

I imagine that the golfers use caddies.

Caddies are available and optional. The club itself rents out pull carts that are lightweight enough that they allow golfers to pull them across tee boxes and greens to ensure a good pace of play.

I've never used one of those pull-carts. Do they work well? I would have to think it's a lot easier than carrying the bag.

yeah very simple, like using a dolly.

I know they are obviously simple to use. I was asking whether or not it is much less strenuous and tiring to use a pull-cart rather than carrying your bag. I would have to think it might be somewhat tiring pulling the cart up a hill. But it also quite tiring to carry your bag up a hill.

push carts are tons better than pull carts.

I'm guessing you haven't played in awhile?

go to the whip

always a good choice.....:eek:

I figured I answered that.

Is it easier to carry a heavy box or pull it on a dolly?

Not strenuous at all & its easier going up a hill then down the hill.

thats what she said

:tro:

I still play once in a while but I always take a cart. I played down at Del Mar a couple of times the last month in charity golf tournaments.

I'm with ya,Rupert! If I played with Kev, he'd ride in the cart...and still have to give me a stroke per hole!:D

I have great news. The hot girl (Carling) won. She beat the unattractive, masculine girl in the 18 hole match play final.

cool, did you rub one out in a sock?

My game sucks right now. I can't play dead in a cowboy movie.:wf

Brinson Paolini shot 80 at Chambers Bay yesterday. He has won the VA State Am the past 3 years at age 17, 18 and 19. As a freshman at Duke , he was named ACC Freshman of the year. The kid has a ton of game. That tells me all I need to know about how hard the course is.

Watching Carling win "gave me a special feeling on my 'Woody Allen'."

Can anyone tell me who that quote is from?

Gavin Hall, probably in the top 3 golfers under 16 in the country, shot 88 :eek:

As for Carling, I'm happy for her because I know how difficult it is to be an athlete with diabetes. She'll be on tour soon enough.
