...and so it begins

First off, it's damn tough to come up with a good golf themed blog title. There are a ton of mediocre options out there, and we tried damn near all of them.
"Out of the Rough"
"3 strokes behind"
"Chasing the Leader"
"Fore / Skins"
As you can see, they all pretty much sucked (although I get a chuckle out of Fore / Skins). So if you don't like "Replacing Divots" you can just suck it. You'll get used to it, and after awhile you won't know how you lived without it. Say it to yourself a few times. Go ahead. I'll wait. Not bad, right?

You are currently locked into a blog devoted to the mirthful antics of a small cadre of drunken hackers. Of course, if you are reading this blog, the overwhelming odds are you already know us, and we sent you the link. Hell, we probably even bought you a beer in order to get you to read this far.

If, by some amazing stroke of luck, you have no idea of what you stumbled upon, let me give you a quick overview of what you've found. We, like many hack golfers, tear up the public links on the weekends. While our indicies (I'm assured that's the plural of 'index') range from respectable to humiliating, we all share in the belief that golf, above all other sports, is not scored in terms of strokes, but rather good times amongst close friends. That, and shotgunning beers while trying to impress the cart girl.

Ok, down to business. The countdown to RV departure stands at 60 days, and the question all of you need to ask is "what have done to prepare yourself?" How is your swing? How is your putting? How is your alcohol tolerance? Personally, I've been alternating between push ups, practice swings and jager shots since last year's Myrtle Beach Tournament ended, and I am still a long way from ready. Thats right kids; this year it's serious.

So, you might be asking, "gosh darn, we're doing all this work getting into playing shape, what are you guys doing for us?" Well, it's that kind of 'what are you doing for me' attitude that has this country in such a sorry state. Still, we (the brain trust) are here to give - and give we shall. There is a ton of stuff in the works - web pages, golfer bio's, course guides, vegas odds, mom jokes aplenty - it's all in the works! We're taking the Myrtle Beach Tournament to another level this year, son!

So dust off those clubs, work on that short game, and prepare for the event of the summer. Until our next post, here is a little video to pass the time. I only wish they still made commercials like this:




Here is one more for the bowling. I miss this stuff.
