Bushwood
Black Bushwood Black,
the NEW tees will be played by the Bags for the first time
in 2002. Originally laid out by
Lumpy
Byers and
CHOP Thompson
as a
method to prevent themselves from shooting 65's all the
time, the course is reportedly the longest in the world!
See the
Official Bushwood Black scorecard below for hole by hole
yardages. It's a BITCH!!
Slash Back from
World Tour
Slash and
Burn recently wrapped up the fall portion of his world tour
by returning from "Sin City" Las Vegas, NV with
Mrs. Slash. The safari proved expensive for the King as he
lost most of his hard earned cash at the tables. |

"It's
My Kind of Course"
"Most golf courses are just too damned
short
for me!", CHOP intoned, "I'm LONG off the tee, and usually I only need
to carry a couple of clubs to play most of the dog tracks around this
area "Bushwood Black
has just enough length so I can occasionally hit a 7
iron if I wish, I just need some kind of
challenge!" The
Thompson continued, "Me and 'no show" Lumpy
basically decided that we weren't even interested in
teeing it up this year if this course didn't measure
at least 7,700 yards"," Bushwood Black at
just over 8000 will test us a bit more!"
We are
studs, everyone knows that and fears us accordingly! |
glance, Bushwood appears to be easy pickings, as the
layout is fairly wide open with no apparent trouble. It
would be but a fool to harbor that thought because once one
strides down that first fairway into the ankle deep fairway, one
soon discovers the mind wrenching difficulties lurking in
those grub infested meadows.
some suck
on one out of these babies! The greens at Bushwood offer some
mind altering experiences of their own.For the most part, they appear
relatively flat, with little break.The fact is, a ball struck on these
greens roll in inexplicable ways and oddly, never the same way twice!
Overall, the track
plays very long, with some very difficult par threes and par
fours.
I guess I've been a loser
all my life, although I never really knew it until I was
asked to be a Bag. I had some nagging suspicions as a
teenager. I could never get a date - with a girl that is.
Guys were no problem, though. I thought it was natural to
be told to "Assume the position!". How was I to
know?
The
Village Idiot, AKA Casey Meloy was recently asked what the Bag Open
meant to him. Here is a short excerpt of his response. "What does the
Bag Open mean to me? Well, actually, not a damned thing! It's
