But today's blog features some hard core reporting from our Western Correspondent, who seems to be spending a lot of time chasing a little white ball these days:
I usually
play golf at two courses in the Denver metro area because I buy seasons passes
at those two courses
It's like
skiing.... a lift ticket at Vail is about $160.00 per day...........a season
pass (if purchased in Denver) is about $600.00
So it is
interesting to note the difference between the two courses
One course
is in the southern suburbs of Denver
Mostly
white, mostly older, most good guys and gals, most pretty good golfers (think
blue and black no moguls), most nice people
The other
course is an historic Denver course (They are both public courses
by the way)
In Denver I
usually play with a bunch of younger kids ....
Some are ex
high school or college players (very good players) think 300 yard drives
right down the middle
Some
suck..........
But have a
lot of fun playing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think
snowboarders
Never seen
anybody smoking a blunt at the suburban course
But Sunday
I was playing with three young kids (two guys and a gal) and she was an ex-olympic
mogul skier
Its
true............I happen to know her name ............(and btw .........she
could hit it really hard for a lady)
On the
biggest stage in the world she did a corked 360's in the middle of a black
diamond mogul run!!!!!!
I was very
fucking impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ski raced
for years with chick skiers............ they are a tough breed!
All three
were good golfers
So..............we
walk up to the 9th tee and there are two groups waiting to hit
Both groups
were sharing some joints
So
............ our group walks up and they kindly offer us a hit or two
Now
...........here is the funny thing about Colorado today........
Every
single person asked what is it?
Sativa?
Indica? Hybrid? Flower? Kief? Oil? Shake?
Most
declined not because they didn't want a hit...............but because it was not their brand!!!!!!
I
understand....... (I will never drink a Bud or vote for a republican)
But the
times they are a changing
And we can
learn a lot from these kids..............
Keep it
real my friends

Thanks, WC. I'm sure these youngsters were happy to have a grizzled old veteran on hand to show them how it's done. Hope that lady boarder didn't get so distracting that it threw you off your game! And thanks for the photos!

ReplyDeleteIf I could golf as good as John Daley I would proudly claim that picture!
And btw I think that picture of the stripper on the green maybe one of my own!
