crepes while golfing sounds delicious.

I like golf

― JW, Friday, 27 April 2007 23:17 (sixteen years ago) link

my summers during my college years back home are a haze of golf, pool, swimming, bbqs, cheap beer, cigarettes, weed, steely dan, allman bros, more golf, and garage jamz

I've still never played a game of golf. This guy I worked with and I used to go out to the Arnold Palmer Driving Range. We'd work on our shots while drinking out of a box of Franzia. It took me a long time to get to the point where the ball would actually go up in the air instead of skipping across the range like a flatrock in water. That was six or seven years ago, and I haven't held a driver since.

Is it that, or is it having the club reach its lowest point just before it hits the ball? I think my problem may have been that I was trying to place the ball at my swing's 180 degree point, like I was putting.

Golf seems like a pain in the ass to get into anyway. It's expensive. It takes a little time management. And I still have a hard time getting past some of that golf culture that's out there.

There's another awkward social situation: Feeling rushed through the putt-putt course because there's a bad-ass power putt group breathing down your neck right behind you.

― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 27 April 2007 23:47 (sixteen years ago) link

yes those speed golfers suck.

oh and also keep your head down as you follow through, you pretty much don't want to look up from the ball until you've followed through. because looking up will cause you to pull back just a little and hit the top of the ball, causing it to be a ground ball right up the middle or more likely off to the left.

a way manners fucks up golfing for me:

it is kind of rude to NOT smoke w33d with your fellow golfers in hawaii. i'm such a lightweight that by the 3rd hole i'm slicing all over the fucking place.

― g®▲Ðұ, Friday, 27 April 2007 23:58 (sixteen years ago) link

stoned golfing sounds like a really good idea.

― jessie monster, Saturday, 28 April 2007 00:30 (sixteen years ago) link

We call that "Ian Johnson style".

― Laurel, Saturday, 28 April 2007 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link

OK I totally wanna go to Hawaii and play w33d golf now Grady.

― Trayce, Saturday, 28 April 2007 02:12 (sixteen years ago) link

i finally got my drivers liscence and so I get crazy discounts now. (on golf, not w33d).

I don't expect a "thank you" when I hold the door for someone but I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU DID NOT GLARE AT ME AND/OR GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO USE ANOTHER DOOR THANK YOU

― bernard snowy, Saturday, 28 April 2007 02:42 (sixteen years ago) link

in NC if you are driving through a residential area and see people walking, they will wave at you.

-- jessie monster, Friday, 27 April 2007 17:13 (Yesterday)

wait, does this actually seriously freak people out? I thought it was just a normal thing that happened everywhere! the only time I found it even slightly weird was when a dude on a riding mower waved to me while I was passing through Virgilina, but that was just because it's a town of 159 people and so he would obviously know that he had never seen me before.

― bernard snowy, Saturday, 28 April 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link

well, judging by the responses, it is pretty normal in small communities. I have had out-of-town friends (lol big city peeps) be all "wtf is that old dude waving at you?" tho.

― jessie monster, Saturday, 28 April 2007 18:53 (sixteen years ago) link

strangers wave at each other all the time in my neighborhood...then receive free drugs and/or sexual favors. southern hospitality. blowjobs are like lemonade here.

― latebloomer, Saturday, 28 April 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

just kidding

― latebloomer, Saturday, 28 April 2007 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link

it's a tradition. third person to wave at you driving a cadillac gets a free bj, except on Sundays. blue laws and all.

I remember those idyllic days of my youth, waiting for consumer interest in my 50-cent blowjob stand

I wonder how Lucy would have handled the situation in an alternate-universe Peanuts strip

― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 28 April 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

if i was really smart i would've been like Lucy in Peanuts and have my own stand disseminating psychiatric advice with complimentary fellatio as the hook to bring in customers. i'd "blow minds"

Bitch was cheap. She would've run me out of business.

"disseminating"

― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 28 April 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link

this being SC though, she'd be selling fireworks too

just goes to show i'm not a native southerner. when my friend sean (who's lived all his life here) came back from a trip to NYC he was stunned at the lack of sweet tea. it's just something that he was so used to.

― latebloomer, Sunday, 29 April 2007 02:19 (sixteen years ago) link

i think to be a true southerner you have to be born with trace of amount of caffeine in your blood

My wife always talked about how confusing it could get in American restaurants, being asked a thousand questions about one wants their meal prepared. For example, in Australia, they don't really bother asking you what kind of freakin' salad dressing you want.

So you can imagine the blank stare she gave our Waffle House waitress the first time she was asked "sweet'r,unsweet?"

― Pleasant Plains, Sunday, 29 April 2007 03:14 (sixteen years ago) link

i have a friend from alabama who was totally baffled that there was no sweet tea to be found in montreal. i told him i had never even heard of this sweet tea and he was like "no, you know, sweet tea! you know!" this was abt 2 yrs ago. there is still no sweet tea.

― rrrobyn, Sunday, 29 April 2007 03:15 (sixteen years ago) link

If you find me sleepin' in the shade dear
Will you promise to bring me all your sweetness
All my plans are hangin' in the palms dear
All my thoughts are lost in Pawley's interest
Rock me gently the waves are softly rollin'
Salty breezes blowin' through the screen dear
Pour me some of your old fashioned magic
I can hear you whispering in my ear

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

Certain things in life I like to savor
Watchin' clouds and waitin' on the rain
If you ever question my behavior
Just a taste will make you feel the same now

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

We've known each other goin' on thirty years
Seen a lot of joy; we've seen a lot of tears
Still I wouldn't change a single thing that I did
Cause we're here, yea.....

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

cravin melon omg lmao

I always thought the only reason for restaurants to serve unsweetened tea was to allow the calorie-conscious among us to add their preferred artificial sweetener, y'know, as a sensitive nod to customer choice. It never occurred to me that anyone would drink un-sweet tea voluntarily.

― Laurel, Sunday, 29 April 2007 20:43 (sixteen years ago) link

haha Laurel otm
