Need to know who is in for golf, so I can start booking tee times. Looks like Friday and Saturday morning will have the most people in town.
I know myself, Heels, 3kings, BT are down to play both days.
Bigs?
Rude?
herk?
Knicks?
Minnskinny?
Ateam? (Do you even golf, bro?)
Lori?
Chuck? (I'd pay to see that action on the course)
Jacksonville guys?
Anyone who is gonna be there and want to play, please let me know.

Right near the track, good reviews, reasonably priced. Play one course each day, that way we are close enough to the track for the day we decide to do the triple header (or Grand Slam for those interested in Hard Rock Casino after the puppy show).

Very nice facility, about 15 minutes from the track. I've played both the Lakes and Forest courses.

PRO TIP for the NON PROS: Bring a metric fuc1<ton of golf balls if you plan on playing the Lakes course:

The Lakes Course Par 72, 7101 yards-

An abundance of water inspired the moniker for this course. Water comes into play on virtually every hole.

And Trust Me - They sh1t you not. After a rather tedious confrontation with a particularly pissed of momma gator whilst looking for my ball on No. 1, I chose to forego looking for anymore wayward wet balls for the balance of the round and conceded and additional 14 of them to the water over the next 17 holes.

If you are fairly straight off the tee, you will be fine. If not, bring an extra box with you.

The Forest course is tighter if I recall correctly, but not near as much water.


If you are looking for cheap, wide open golf near the track look into the Silver Dollar Golf and Trap Club:

http://www.silverdollargolf.com/course/

3 conjoined 9 hole courses that can be assembled into any manner of an 18 hole round, fairly forgiving

Can we wear our Jorts on this course? I heard that was the recommended attire for this trip based upon previous ones.

I'm in for golf. I will have a buddy coming with me so make that two. I stink but he's decent.

[-BT-]

literally.....the last time i played golf was the last time we were in Tampa

always trying to sh!t in my cereal, i'm already flying spirit airline, where they charge $50 to carry on a racing form, the golf clubs might cost me an extra plane ticket.

why can't we just go get some "real seafood" every morning at joe's crab shack and call it a week?

having said that, if enough people are bringing their sticks i'll figure something out.

*side note: for those who haven't had the luxury of playing golf with the lawn jockey, he picks pricey establishments, requires everyone play from the tips, and he also cheats......all the above have been verified.

I have a better idea, put on your best picnic tablecloth, grab your Dora the explorer backpack, then go to Tampa and stand at the rail while trying to pick up slightly chunky female exercise riders that don't speak English. That is, unless Jill Byrne is somewhere in the area, if that is the case then watch out, cause we'll go into serious creepy stalker mode (which is downright disturbing, but usually pretty funny to watch). Bringing the Flamingo Kid is optional.

As far as the lawn jockey (or golf Nazi as I like to call him), Mr. Thomas is 100% accurate.

Jesus what other videos and pix do u have in your vault. The Flamingo Kid is always happy to ride shotgun with "Mr Thomas". After all, he makes up on half of the "new" hart foundation

Do we need to come up to central jersey and kidnap u for a couple of days the end of Feb? We won't tell anyone. Promise

I definitely see the resemblance (although the Anvil looks to be in better shape than Mr. Thomas).
I'm still holding out hope that the governor grants me a last second pardon, but that seems highly unlikely. Although a kidnapping my be welcomed, with the conditions that you don't bring me back.

how creepy is it that I have stalkers on this site?
there has to be some kind of rule against filming another human without consent.

makes me want to hit up IHOP every day i'm down there now, in your honor

Hahaha me too. I forgot I even had clubs until I went into the attic to get the Christmas crap down and tripped over 'em.

Strange, I don't remember paying much to play.

And the "tips" from that course was about 6,600 yards. P*ssy

Not a chance. Unless Blaha and Thomas want some side action against us

$84 for a hack like myself is a bit much. I calculate all my costs in relation to how many pk4's and pk3's that would have got me. Having said that, golf cost me a $72 pk4 and $12 pk3



not to mention winning the last skin with a natural birdie only to be fleeced by some Freehold regular
