Yesterday we had some extreme weather conditions with massive rain and hail that was bad enough that I had to pull my car over and park under a tree to keep my car from getting dented.
About a five minute drive from where I’m sitting right now is a 27 hole course designed by Johnny Miller called Stonebridge. The bad weather hit them too. A bolt of lightning hit a flagstick at the course, frying the flag and burning a crazy scorched pattern into the putting green. See photos below, courtesy of Stonebridge.

Now think for just a second the next time you consider playing golf when you see lighting. That 5-iron is a lightning rod.
I Found Your Bud Light and Brown Toothbrush in Golf Cart Number 27
During today’s round I thought my opponent cutting his pants off with scissors was the strangest thing I’d see, but perhaps I was mistaken. After the round I couldn’t help notice this golf cart at the cart return area. It seems that the driver of the cart left his toothbrush.
I almost left my toothbrush in the golf cart!
I’m intrigued by this. I have more questions than answers.
If someone is obsessed with brushing his/her teeth enough to bring the toothbrush to the course, wouldn’t it make sense that they use a clean one?
Does Bud Light cure gingivitis?
Is brushing and flossing with coffee effective? Espresso?
Did you know that four out of five proctologists recommend Preparation-H for their golfing patients who chew hemorrhoidal tissue?
Golf Opponent Cuts Pants Off With Scissors During Round
Today was a rather entertaining Sunday round of golf in my regular group. One of my playing partners a.k.a. opponents was having some pants scripting issues. It seems he was given a pant script when it should have been a shorts script. During the front nine, his pants were driving him nuts for some reason.
At the turn we stopped at the cafe for our usual drinks, food, and pit stop. Upon meeting back up on the 10th tee, the pant script challenged player had apparently changed to shorts, until I looked closer:
The latest shorts from Puma or Dunning? Perhaps not…
He actually borrowed some scissors from the pro shop and cut his pants off. I’m a firm believer of “whatever it takes to shoot a good golf score” and his new cutoffs worked. He played much better on the back nine.
Not sure what part of his clothing he will cut off next Sunday…

While on vacation hiking and exploring southern Utah’s beautiful red rock country I stopped by with my aerial photo copter and caught a couple of pics of Sunbrook Golf Course in St. George, Utah.

Sunbrook is a great 27-hole municipal course. Each nine has its own unique style, including a nine which goes through lava rock.

One of my three (yes I have three) home courses is finally getting an automated irrigation system. Bonneville Golf Club, Utah’s most popular municipal course and one of my top favorites, has been hand watered since it opened in 1929. The course is a bit of a war zone right now. It really does look like this hole pictured below, the par-5 16th, has been hit by some bombs.
Bonneville’s Par-5 15th Hole Irrigation
If you’re looking to play Bonneville the next few weeks (May/June 2015) keep this work under consideration. Some holes are cut short or skipped. In lame fashion they’re still charging full price, so buyer beware.
