Yep. That’s what my playing partner and I got sloshed on while winning the Epic Fail Trophy for finishing last place at the Inaugural Shaggybevo (RIP) Open at Mo Willy, circa….fuck I can’t even remember. I only really recall getting cart stuck in mud and my buddy form tackling me on the 18th green. 
 
for you old timers, I believe Snow Dog was one of our foursome.

Epic day. I'm pretty sure I was behind you at the pro shop for check in. I broke the ice by announcing loudly "looks like a bunch of assholes are gonna play today."

My friend who didn't even have a shaggy account was my partner so I was having to explain inside jokes to him the entire time. For some reason I decided not to drink anything that round. I chose... poorly. We were paired up with Blacklab & some guy who I think was his personal swing coach/CrossFit guru. There was a lot of flexing & stretching going on. Few jokes.

Enjoyed the Franklin's afterwards & jawing with Jive Turkey. He's much taller than you'd think in person.

Yep. Forgot blacklab brought a ringer.  Didn’t realize he was also his own guru/golf Rasputin. Now it makes total sense they won by a Kim Jong-il level margin.

If you’re not recruiting a ringer for your company/charity golf tournament, you’re not doing it right. 
 

My ideal team for a charity event:

1) Ringer, to carry the team.

2) Potential donor.  Hopefully we can use one or two of his shots.

3) Potential donor.  Hopefully we can use one or two of his shots.

4) Me. Maybe we can use one of my putts. Maybe. 
 

Bringing the ringer makes sure the potential donors have a good time and feel generous when the ask comes at the end of the award ceremony at the 19th.

South Carolina will obviously be a more season-defining game for the ags, because by the time they play Texas, their season will already be defined.  And if I had to guess, I'd say they'll be defined as about an 8-3 team by the time they get to Austin.

Reminds me of the mid 90's and what I called the Ultimate Ringer at work. It was a women who played on LPGA tour before joining the company. Right away you had someone in your scramble foursome who could outdrive almost anyone and got to tee of from the ladies tees in the scramble. Tough combo.

Years ago I hired a young engineer who had played D1 baseball in the Big 10.  He hit almost 0.330 his senior season.  First team All-Conference.  After graduation he played a season of minor league ball before deciding that bus rides and cheap hotels suck and he just needed to get on with his real career.  He way outclassed his teammates on the company softball team.  Opponents would actually get pissy about it.

Meh.  Done worse on campus.

Was that you humping the broad one morning on top of the entry stairway balustrade in front of the Union back in 1962?

Pretty bold move in those days.

My son was a pretty good scratch golfer back in his high school & college days. 
He could have taken a partial scholarship tp play for SWT, but turned it down because he claimed it would interfere with his social life.

When he started his long career at a regional banking system, he was put in charge of organizing golf tournaments whenever staff traveled to bank conferences or hosted such in Austin.

He was happy to hand that chore off to younger & better players after he gained some seniority.

Or "Tiny", as your Mom described him when she introduced you to each other.

No, for Texas A&M, they called the game against the South Carolina Gamecocks— a heated rivalry, to be sure— the most important game. It's not that the game against the Longhorns isn't important, but that the one against the Gamecocks is more important.


This will no doubt set off some Longhorns, who can't handle the idea of not being the most important game on someone's schedule, but I think there's a lot of truth to it.

A&M could schedule the Eagles and the Chiefs and we'd still be their most important game.

But we’d have a tough time competing with Prairie View or Incarnate Word.

If I gave a 5 year old a a generic Hanes t-shirt and a pair of middle-school coach shorts, and then a sheet of large stickers with various numbers, letters, stripes and sports brand symbols to place on them, they'd come up with something better than this.

Also, why aren't the shoes tied?

Dumb question I know. Aggies can't tie their shoes.

Chat GPT, generate a picture of a Texas A&M college basketball player, with a uniform that looks like it was designed by a 5 year old with a generic Hanes t-shirt, and a pair of middle-school coach shorts, who can decorate using a sheet of large stickers with various numbers, letters, stripes and sports brand symbols to place on them.
