I lived every golfer's dream last week

Family vacation at the beach. Made a tee time for myself and my bro-in-law. We get to the course and notice the parking lot is basically empty even though its noon and the weather is pretty damn nice for August in the southeastern US.

Turns out the phone and internet cables for the course had been severed by a construction crew out by the entrance to the course, so they were not able to book tee times. They had all of six on the books for the day and most of those went out early and were close to finishing their rounds.

So we had the course to ourselves. Literally. No waiting, no worries about taking too long to look for a lost ball, no worries about taking too long to get a snack at the turn, etc. It'll probably never happen again, but damn did I enjoy it. 😀
 
You want to know why golfing sucks? That your dream situation is just that the course was empty. Personally I'd rate that below the course being so full that you decide to just drive around on the cart drinking all the beer. Or going to a put-put course and there being some hot skanky girls wearing clothes that are about 5 sizes too small for them. And then you convince them that you're an instructor, and teach them how to eye the ball just right and then you do the cliched stand behind them and direct their arms bit and then go full on Chubs "it's all in the hips"....

I will one up that, I'm pretty sure my uncles are living every golfers dream. They got bored and built themselves not one, but two golf courses (one full 18 holes, the other is an executive course) for themselves on their property.
 
nice, no one to notice your assless chaps. yeah we know you took off the pants that were covering them up when you noticed the course was empty. don't deny it.

Ha.

Thanks for your $$ in S.C. Hilton Head, iirc. A little cooler the past several days as compared to the previous month, courtesy of hell.

Better that this guys?

Tuesday was nice, Thursday I thought I was going to die. No wind at all and the heat index was over 100. 🙁
 
Back in the day, when I worked for IBM, they had a private golf course in Toronto for employees and guests only. There were quite a few times that my Dad and I would go out to play a round and not see anyone else on the course.

Eventually, IBM sold the property but by then I had left the company and it wasn't a loss for me.
