Downlow Golf Tourney

[ASUFrisbeeStud]

I know there are alot of posters on the DL that love to golf. I think we should all get together sometime, somewhere and see who is the best.

I know Jason may claim the title already but it would be awesome to really see.

I don't play worth a flip- but I bet Johnny would play in my spot..... he's pretty booked up until graduation - but the summer is looking free :D

[Adidas410s]

let's play it in West Texas...when the wind is up over 30 mph. Anybody up for a round at Rawls???

There's another way to play golf?!?!?

I played down in San Saba in October and it was beautiful, green, not very windy, large trees. Not like the West Texas Courses I'm used to.

[burnet44]

[buff4ever]

let me know if anyone of you is ever around the central texas area, Austin, Bastrop, Will go to San Antonio (lots of great courses). We will hack around a bit.

[buff4ever]

Played at Delaware Springs in a high school tourney back in the day, it was okay. I just remember it being very cold, and a long walk somewhere on the course into a 20 mph wind. I think it was the first tourney of the year that year.

[shankbear]

I love Colo Vista in Bastrop but my back problem keeps me from playing now. I am very sad about it.

[buff4ever]

colo vista is a great course, I really like the back side, the front is only ok to me. couple good holes on the front, but back is great fun.

[mistanice]

Worked and played here for 4 years.
Crown Colony Country Club - Lufkin

This is a view of #3, and #4 in the back.

The pecan trees at San Saba are great. Love that course. A typical small town tract.

We could road trip to the Monterey Penninsula and so we could all play the most beautiful hole in golf:

I played Colo Vista one time early last year. I had a couple of bad holes but I shot 78.

Yeah if you can stay out of the pecan trees you're fine but once you're in there its rough getting out.

[bulldogman06]

Yea, Id love it, I would probably get murdered, but it would be fun. San Antonio has some really nice courses, La Cantera for one.

Silver Horn 80 (just a good course)
Sonterra Club TOO MUCH (have to know a member)
Canyon Springs 70ish (very fun course)

But that's how I feel about y'all showing these pictures, GOSH I can't wait for summer and to wear shorts and golf all day and drink beer all night. I long for those days.

Which course are you talking about here? There is one out west of San Antonio that I played with a friend once. I think Texas was somewhere in the name but I don't remember. It's where the St Mary's golf team practices is all I remember now.

Our first day in Tampa a few weeks ago...it was only in the 50's but the sun was out so I made a point to wear shorts to play golf...at least until I walked out to the first tee box and saw this right in front of me!!! :eek:

[buff4ever]

we seriously should have a little golf outing w/ as many as we can get. I say we wait til may or so then get after it. I say the more the marryer ??Sp??. Doesn't matter how good you are.

Heck I am only:
Good on great days
average on good days
bad on average days
and horrible on bad days

We could handicap it or something like that, I am probably a 12 or 14.

It's been "in the works" for a few years now. Some day it will finally happen! :)

[ASUFrisbeeStud]

Just because I'm bored. My buddy took this one of me this morning, swing wasn't the prettiest but the pic looks alright.
