It really didn't look like a gag to me, more like he just wanted the two putt and the jacket.

about 7 or 8 years ago when I was playing the Gearhart Golf Links and they still had it set up as a links style course, i remember hitting an 8 iron that simply stopped when it hit the ground (probably hit it into one of those little mounds) and it felt like I pulled every muscle and tendon in my left wrist.....took me about four holes before I could hit a decent shot again......I've hit roots of trees lots of times, but I'll never forget that eight iron at Gearhart

Would you believe I've never played Gearhart (the oldest course in the Northwest)?

The McMenamins bought it, so I'm sure they fucked it up.

yeah, they took all the character out of the course when they changed it to a more conventioal layout....fuck if I want conventional layouts I can find them up and down the oregon coast....the whole golf links personna was what it special....now they overcharge for green fees, treat you like shit, and can't understand why their revenues are decreasing......
