    If I practiced more, I could hit the high 80's. Had a dude tell me one time that the course should charge me double. That said, I never once had a bad day on the golf course.

    Green Fees over at the Camelback Country Club down the road are only $185. I used to go out to the municipal course at the end of Fulton Ave & I-80 ( Business ) in Sacramento when I got out of the Navy in the afternoon after work. The starter would let me go for nothing, and I knew the first 6 holes very well, cause that's when it got dark.
    I blew the little money I had saved when I first got out, and played 36 holes a day, drank beer, and smoked dope. Was a good life for about 3 months lol.

    If I was better my eyes wouldn't get such a work out. Much easier to see the ball when it is in (the proper) fairway!

    Wait a minute. This flatbedder is the guy that was backing in at the truck stop holding a cell phone brought up in an earlier thread. On another note. I now have to to turn my echo board off. That flatbedder parks so bad, he could drive for WalMart (provided he didn’t wear a hat, hated nascar, and loved weedburner exhaust)

    SEE! Proof that door slammers aspire to be flat bedders.

    He’s trying to squish that van down to qualify as a real driver that does man work.

    Man work. That’s right . Even manlier with a hood. Extend that hood and you’re a manly man man hood driving flatbed man card holding male. Man. Grrrr.

    Did I mention I drive a big long Peter Car, with a big extended hood, and haul manly flatbed loads?

    No one can park to close to either side. So when his 10 up he can easly check his straps and tigten them with out banging the trl next to him with his bar.
