Water park x Golf course…
Course angels… long legs with water.
More girls texting Donovan than Tiger Woods… at 8AM
Clueless…
No longer clueless… Once ball has passed by head.

Course Marshal
Definition: A person whose job it is to rule patrol a golf course, keeping the pace of play up and responding to golfers’ questions or concerns. During a tournament, a marshal’s job will be primarily crowd control.
At most courses, marshals are cops volunteers who ride in marked carts, and their primary value is in their visibility. If golfers know a course has marshals, they are more likely to police themselves. Slow play is a primary concern for marshals, and some courses allow marshalls to force slow groups to move up, skipping part or all of a hole in order to speed up play.

Kirk Session: an ecclesiastical court in Scotland, composed of the minister and elders of a parish.
Edinburgh Burgh records of 1593 bemoan the fact that Edinburgh churchgoers were playing golf in Leith instead of going to church. On 16th February 1610, South Leith Kirk Session proposed a fine of 20 shillings (one pound) to be paid ‘to the poor’ by anyone found playing golf (or bowls or archery) between sunrise and sunset on Sunday. Apart from the fine, they would also have to confess their sins in church. This persecution continued until 1724, which year marks the last official Kirk prosecution in Scotland for Sunday golfing, when the Leith innkeeper John Dickson was accused of giving victuals to Sabbath golfers.
I learned about this here and then stole it so you could learn about it too…

We’ve asked the question? Is your golf course too dangerous? Well look no further…
The battery operated, two million rupee ($45,000) Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (Atac) is said to resemble a bullet-proof golf buggy with firing ports. It weighs just under half a tonne, has bullet-proof windows and contains numerous firing ports. Furthermore it is able to negotiate corridors and lifts.
Metaltech says the squat and heavily armoured vehicle can also withstand grenade blasts and last for six hours on a single charge – with a top speed of 25km/h (15mph).

The average golf bag is just a long bucket with 6 sections to which you just throw your clubs in because, shit, golf is a fast paced sport and you need to hurry up and get to the next shot. The unbalance of the design coupled with the shoulder straps make kitting up and removing the bag an ungraceful and fatiguing movement. Even a good golfer does this movement almost 160 times during a round (and you think swinging your club makes you tired).To alleviate some of this strain on your game, you either rent or purchase a pull cart to “lug” your clubs around or better yet, you rent an electric mini car to zip around the grass fields. The status quo golf bag is so poorly designed that a sub industry was created just to solve the problem of damaged club heads. Club covers were designed to minimize damage to club heads during travel or even while just moving around the course. You now have to pony up a little more money to just solve a problem that shouldn’t need to be solved.
Then I discovered this bag. It has shocks. It has labeled club holders made from thick rubber which have great friction properties to keep your clubs from moving. It has well placed and well designed pockets that reduce the amount of “hunting” time looking for tee’s, balls or beer. Even the the open pockets for holding balls on the backside is a great solution. It has wheels built right into the bag. It even folds up to fit in the trunk of the car.
This bag even has better aesthetics than the average golf bag. If everyone keeps talking about retro fashion making a comeback in golf, why not throw a little retro styling into some of the equipment. I’m sure it’ll start happening now that we’ve mentioned it. We know we’re being watched by small and large golf companies all the time and we’ve seen our ideas, our approach and designs “borrowed”.

Bill Powell 1916 – 2009
“…the only color that matters is the color of the greens.” – Bill Powell
Who was Bill Powell? He was the grandson of Alabama slaves (white people owned his grand parents), who served in World War II. He later returned to the United States to build a golf course for those who weren’t “eligible” to play anywhere else. While building his golf course he continued to work at Timken, a ball bearing company, as a janitor and a security guard, the only positions available to blacks.
Bill Powell left a legacy built on struggle, pride and hard work. Something that isn’t respected as much anymore. It also isn’t rewarded as much either. Golf makes millionaires. Millionaires make douchebags. Douchebags buy 157 ft Yachts to get away from the people who make them rich.
Bill Powell created a golf course virtually by hand… by himself with these intentions:
“I didn’t build this course for any of the recognition,” he said. “It was a labor of love. Golf is a part of society and I wanted to be included. I want you to be included, too. I’ve always felt that each individual should leave something behind of meaning. It feels good to know that I have done that with Clearview, at long last.”
We celebrate and honour the wrong golfers. We hold millionaires up on pedestals when their millions do nothing for golf except pad their ego’s and bank accounts. Support the hustle and struggle of those who do their thing for golf and not for individual recognition.

Besides of the Malaria (no joke) in our studio, we also received these other high quality Ugandan gifts. Waragi (pronounced [waragi] known as enguli) is a generic term in Uganda for domestic distilled beverages (moonshine).
Once you are finished with the high quality “gin” you can reuse them for IV bags. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Waragi derives its name from “war gin”, as the British colonial expatriates in the 1950s and 1960s referred to the distilled spirit known in Luganda language as enguli.

Let’s see here. If there’s no sign saying we can’t play well… fuck… play it where it lies…
p.s. Triple Bogey and it’s members do not and will not ever play urban golf. This was just a test of the local authorities and their response time.

Note the position of the ball. My inability to decipher such poorly designed pictograms is a perfect defense. I didn’t do this your honour. I swung with the ball in front of me therefore I have not committed any offenses in which this sign refers to. Do we misspell stop signs? No, if we did, it would no longer be a stop sign.

Don’t golf in city parks…

OTTAWA — Errant golf balls that hook and slice their way into people’s yards have officially been declared a “nuisance” by the City of Gatineau.
And golf courses that fail to take precautions against the damage wrought by duffers could be on the hook for minimum fines of $500 for the first offence and $1,000 for subsequent offences. The regulatory change was passed Tuesday by Gatineau council’s preparatory caucus.
“There was a ball (once) that flew over a house and hit a person in the private parts”
The bylaw makes it a “nuisance” for owners, users and operators of golf courses and other outdoor sports facilities to fail to take appropriate measures “to prevent balls or other projectiles from being repeatedly thrown or projected outside of (their) grounds in a manner that could endanger people or property.” Although the regulation does not specify golf balls, the impetus for the move was a longstanding conflict between the Club de Golf Hautes Plaines golf course and residents of nearby streets, especially Rue de la Citadelle, said Claude Millette, councillor for l’Oree du Parc and the driving force behind the regulatory change. “There was a ball (once) that flew over a house and hit a person in the private parts”. There were cars hit by balls,” said Millette. “It’s really dangerous.” Jean Leduc, manager of golf for the Club de Golf Hautes Plaines, agreed that flying golf balls do stray into neighbours’ yards, but blamed the city for the problem.
“The golf club was here, and the city issued construction permits for these houses afterwards,” Leduc said. “Now that it’s a nuisance, they’re washing their hands of the mistake that they made.”
He said the golf course will put up nets and change the layout of some holes to conform to the new regulation. “We don’t have a choice,” he said. “(But) it means very high costs.” Millette said it’s not up to the city to help defray the costs of a privately-owned golf club. To prove the nuisance charge, complainants will have to gather evidence in the form of balls, photos, and a written record to show that the errant projectiles are a recurrent problem. The regulatory change also makes it a nuisance for a person to “willingly throw a ball or other projectile onto a property, without the owner’s consent.”
Martin Potvin, press attaché to Gatineau Mayor Marc Bureau, said that kids playing catch, street football or other ball games are not targeted by the regulation. But Millette said the regulation could capture people playing baseball, tennis or practising their golf drives in city parks, if the balls repeatedly land on neighbours’ property.
“If there’s a ball that hits a house, the question is: is it in a voluntary and repetitive manner?” Millette said. “If it’s just one football, thrown by accident, that’s not it.”
