GolfHos

Whatcha doin'?

I played in a scramble yesterday, and finished with a visit to one of my new co-workers, for an open house(drink fest), and then went to the host of the scramble for a big Beer-B-Que.  Drank Margaritas from a ball with a pump spout.  Don't ask me, but they were good.  (from what I remember  [sm_anon] )


Today, heading to the B.I.L's place for a cookout, and more beer. 


Which reminds me.  I won't start a new thread, because it's GolfHos.  If a guy can't 'jack his own thread.........

What do you call this?

The first time we played it, the guy that made it called it "Hookey Bob".  I've heard "Ladder Golf", and Karen just bought me one, and the box, it's called "BlingoGolf".

We'll be playin' that today.

'Tis a tortuous looking device.  [sm_shock]

Wife actually has to work, will BBQ later, I'm heading to the puppy park to let Ozzy play, a little yard work, a little golf practice, I'm still struggling with that 50-60 yard shot, anybody ever hit a 68 degree wedge?

It's a beautiful Pacific Northwest day, gonna be mid 60's, a nice little breeze coming in from the ocean, ain't life grand?

Take time to remember those we lost today, freedom is never free, and it's just another word for nothing left to lose.

not really of course,  just a mandatory reference for a day like today.


cookin burgers, having a couple of our friends over.  might play a small poker game.  will later watch WWE / Spurs crushing of the Jazz.   

 

ps, i figured stroh for a 'cornholer'  typaguy
 

Friday night: Beers at the Penn Brewery, with live jazz.
Saturday. Doing mostly nothing, watched the Spurs and eating chicken and noodle bowls.
Sunday. Watched POTC III. Spectacular, yet predictable. Had chicken apricot curry with friends, played with a pug, got buzzed on SS Rumtastics.
Today. Burgers in the horizon.

Workin'  :sad3:

I'm almost afraid to ask.

I'm the only one in the house NOT working. [sm_hump] but I've got about five home projects lined up, so I wish I was working.


Maybe I'll play some http://www.laddergolf.com/ online

I am elaborating on those on another thread.

Weird-looking contraption.  I guess the goal is to toss your balls on a rope so they hang on the contraption?

I'll be at home all day today.  Did some yardwork this morning. Probably work on personal programming projects until dinner.

burgers and smilez-things  cooking now.  should be ready in 5.

Been doing yard work. Waiting for Laura to get home from work and then we're headed to a BBQ to watch the Jazz crushing of the Spurs.

Can somebody please explain how the blingogolf thing works!! ;D

you really shouldn't be doing yardwork while that intoxicated

Basically you try to toss a couple of golf balls, attached with a cord, and get them to hang on the rungs of the ladder thingy. Different point values for each rung, bonuses, etc.

Brunch with the family, drive the two hours back home, unpack, clean up after the animals, fall into a Guinness.

Played 18 this morning with a couple of friends. Afterwards we had friends over for lunch, etc.

Really nice day sitting outside eating, drinking and enjoying each others company.

And stroh, I don't know what you call that contraption but my F-I-L made a couple for a family reunion a couple of years ago. As I remember, it was a nice diversion from having to chat with cousin Earl Uncle Jim-Bob.  :o ;)

We just got back from placing flowers at my FIL's grave. National Cemetery here in Washington State.

There must have been 20,000 American Flags displayed,  some at the graves,  15 footers lining the drive, very impressive,  and me without my camera.  [sm_oops]
