What a riot

War4ever · July 10, 2003, 20:45

hehe that IS funny

Hydey · July 11, 2003, 07:15

stupid yanks

Berzerker · July 11, 2003, 07:17

I'm heading out to golf now and will be napping when I get home, so I'll be here around 7 pm

rah · July 11, 2003, 08:09

I'll try to get there by 7, but we don't have a tee time for this afternoon yet. When I book one, I'll post it here.

-Jrabbit · July 11, 2003, 09:29

I'm free to leave if there's an opening in your foursome, Rah... Last meeting today ends at 10:30.

PM or post if there's a chance to join you.

Saw it on ESPN this morning. Best quote was from Peter Gammons --

"They say Simon will swing at anything..."

(BTW, thanks for supporting my laziness, Ming.

)

rah · July 11, 2003, 09:33

We're supposed to have four, but you never know when someone gets scheduled for a meeting at the last minute. If we get an opening with enough lead time, I'll post it or give you call.

This morning's sportcenter was hillarious. They did a 5 minute segment with analysis, and guest commentaries.

The girl that was hit, thought it was pretty funny.

Ming · July 11, 2003, 10:27

I wasn't going to watch SC this morning... but now I am

THANKS.

rah · July 11, 2003, 10:52

I think the piece was around the 30 minute mark.

Ming · July 11, 2003, 11:35

I had seen the tape before, but the commentary this morning was well worth the time. What a riot

rah · July 11, 2003, 12:13

And they all did it with a straight face. I was quite impressed.

War4ever · July 11, 2003, 12:22

it was quite amusing

i guess they had the evening to edit the piece perfectly

rah · July 11, 2003, 12:35

Yeah, I watched it last night and they seem to have added a new analysis with every broadcast.

War4ever · July 11, 2003, 12:43

its snowballing now..... probably make the year end report too....for anyone who hasnt' seen it 15 times yet

Berzerker · July 11, 2003, 13:28

Just got back from golf and I'm making a report only because I had a great round.

-2 69, the course is pretty easy with a slope of 118 though. But for some reason I have a pretty tough time on this course and don't usually shoot near par. Two birds and the rest were pars, didn't have one par putt over 6 feet I think and made 'em all with the Staff of Rah (which is saying something because these greens are kind of ratty)! But I did miss a few birdie putts that were makeable. If Rah was putting and chipping for me, we would have been 8-10 under.

Hey Rah, maybe next time I'm up there, we can get some of your buddies to face off against the 3 of us for some best ball action.

Maybe JR can make it 4 if War can't. Oh well, gotta sleep if I'm going to make it for tonite.

rah · July 11, 2003, 13:32

69 is great no matter the course. You still have to make the putts. I'll be heading out in just a few minutes to play. I'll settle to break 80.

Yeah next time you come up we can focus a bit more on golf.

Good to hear the putter is helping your confidence.
Every time I hear staff of RAH, I have to chuckle.
But then my putter is called ZAP.

War4ever · July 11, 2003, 14:16

nice round Berz..... your ready for the tour

Ming · July 11, 2003, 14:31

Great round Berz... gee, we never got to see you play that well

Remember, 90% of putting is in your head

-Jrabbit · July 11, 2003, 15:03

Awesome round, Berz!

And from what Rah and Ming tell me, it would be a treat to watch you launch them from the tee. Barring business travel, I'm always ready to golf.

I'm nowhere near your league (index = 23), but always manage to have a good time. (Well, except when I can't break 100, which still annoys me.

)

War4ever · July 11, 2003, 16:05

I CERtainly cant' launch from the tee....unless its just the club

Berzerker · July 11, 2003, 21:49

Or the clubhead

Give me ~10 more rounds at Steeple and par would be in my range. I like that course, fairly open with nice greens. I can see why you guys play that alot, I liked it alot myself. But I'd be happy to shoot 78-80 at that second course we played. That bugger with those tight fairways plays havoc with my style of game.

The 11th at Kemper was classic though, a par 5 over a hill down to a tiny, thin green surrounded almost completely with water in front and sand behind - OUCH! No going for that one in two. What a scenic hole

Ming · July 12, 2003, 02:31

Kemper is one of the top 100 courses in the country... It starts off easy, and just get's tougher with every hole.

And what happened to war tonight. Rah and Berz ended up dueling. You were REALLY missed.

rah · July 12, 2003, 19:46

Anybody around? The wife isn't making noise about going out, so I guess I'm avail whenever.

HawkHunter · July 12, 2003, 20:34

i should be aroud tonight if ya all need a player.. it's been awhile since i've played

rah · July 12, 2003, 20:47

Great, I'll keep you in mind, too bad no one else is around right now.

Ming · July 13, 2003, 05:18

Thanks for the game tonight. For ONCE, I got a solid start. Everything seemed to be working my way tonight.
Got an early settler next to iron, which allowed me to build HG. And I got 100 bucks from a hut, which allowed me to buy some early settlers as well. While I didn't get units from the early huts, I didn't get knocked off the path either. A good night overall.

rah · July 13, 2003, 13:11

Yes, it was nice to have four players.

But were was war4 this weekend?
