Report From Dallas National

For those who think this blog is nothing but self-referential bloviation and pictures of shin contusions, I offer this photo, taken by Adam, during our just-completed round at Dallas National. Here we see the 14th hole, which Adam and I both parred, for those keeping score at home. Also, for those keeping score, Adam shot a 99, and I shot — dammit — a 100. The only other item of note is that, as I type this, I’m drinking a jalapeño cucumber margarita. It is highly recommended. Also, Adam says hi.

  1. And now I have reason #3,976 that I hate both Adam and Tim. Thanks, Tristan.

  2. And, although I confess I’ve never seen you play, you probably wouldn’t slice the ball so bad if you had a stronger grip with that right hand. IJS…

  3. I’ve been next to Tim at the urinals. His right hand grip is just fine Josh.

  9. Talk about burying the lead..

    1) You got to play Dallas National? I hate you both.

    2) Jalapeno cucumber margarita? Was that a dare?

  10. @ Bethany

    I asked

    @ 4:16 pm on August 14, 2008

  11. Is that a guy thing? Do all guys ask about grip and release at urinals?

    I’m weirdly curious now.

  12. That course deserves better. You know it. I know it. And the American People know it.

  13. Bethany, you really don’t want to know what men talk about when there aren’t any women around.

    And I’m not at liberty to share it anyway, as it falls under Guy/Guy privilege.

  14. I thank all of you who just contributed to a much needed afternoon laugh!

    @ 4:29 pm on August 14, 2008

  15. @Bethany: No, we don’t. We don’t ask, we don’t tell, we don’t make conversation, we don’t make eye contact. At least most of us don’t.

  16. Grip it and rip it takes on a whole new meaning. Damn you guys. I am as jealous as the French Men’s swim relay team.

  17. Just say no to that hat!

    Oy vey!

    @ 4:49 pm on August 14, 2008

  18. jerks. that is all.

    @ 4:55 pm on August 14, 2008

  19. You know how I know you’re gay? You wear powder blue hats during golf.

    @ 6:04 pm on August 14, 2008

  20. The hat is HOT. I thought you were mortally wounded…

  21. Faaat maaan in a liiiittle HA-aaat…

  22. Two things I’d like to add about our round. The first is this pic of Adam hitting out of the salad. Love the effort. The other thing I’d like to add is that I bogied nine holes, yet still shot a 100. Just think about that for a minute. Or don’t and I’ll do the math for you: that Dallas National is a helluva tough course. (PS: If that shot of Adam looks familiar, take a look at this pic of Adam taken a year ago. Same shirt. Same hole. About 30 feet to the right.)

  23. I give Adam an “A” for effort, a “B+” for the white belt, a “C-” on the hair and an “F” for the lack of tan on those white calves. He needs to get out more…

  24. You know how else we know they, or at least Adam, are gay? He’s got streamers at the end of his clubs. IJS. (See Tim’s latest picture)

  25. The purpose of this outing is what? How do I work at D Magazine? No mention of the Dallas National Burger or Fish Tacos at the turn. WEAK reporting.
