Spring green



Don't lose track of where your disc goes this time of year.

4 is lucky on 4/20

So the dude (pictured further down the page with his ace on 8) goes ahead and aces hole 4 today. Also of note, I had quad fours during a poker game later on. Gary Coleman was there, too.
Whoa dude.

Watch it man, there's a beverage here!

Four Twenty


Yes, if your sextet gets literally lapped on a foursome's second round, you are moving quite slow, indeed. It must've been hard to stay upright as you looked for your lost drive on #7.

Yes, the stately drunk hag was there. "I don't want to be bit by your dog!", she protested, as though it was a scheduled event.

No, posting in your parked car with your tattoo-splattered roughneck friend doesn't make you look suspicious, so a mental note of your license plate wasn't taken.

The Ice Cream truck man would've banked a fortune this afternoon.

Catlike reflexes


A group had a lost disc on 9 the other day. After waiting for 5 minutes while they looked we called out and asked if we could throw in. They said go ahead. So Mr. Clean throws a rocket-like forehand and it's heading directly at one of the guys, who has gone back to looking at the ground.

FORE! !

He looks up a split second before speeding plastic connects with his man parts and with cat like reflexes leaps straight into the air, hurdling the disc. He indicated that he enjoyed the experience afterwards.

"Spanish is a dead language"

So a couple of weeks ago we overheard this drunk guy ranting to his companion that, "Spanish is a dead language." Wow!

In fact...

(number of native speakers in parentheses)

  1. Chinese* (937,132,000)
  2. Spanish (332,000,000)
  3. English (322,000,000)
  4. Bengali (189,000,000)
  5. Hindi/Urdu (182,000,000)
  6. Arabic* (174,950,000)
  7. Portuguese (170,000,000)
  8. Russian (170,000,000)
  9. Japanese (125,000,000)
  10. German (98,000,000)
  11. French* (79,572,000)

Good Karma at the Gulch

A happy one to offset skulls and semi-domestic violence. This happened a while back-

On hole 7 one day I found a disc stuck up in one of the first trees. I called the # and returned it to its rightful owner, who was glad to have it back. He proceeded to win the $ ace pool $ with the very same disc on doubles night! When I saw him after he gave me 5 bucks. :)
