Yellow Ball Roast's

[Yellow Ball]

Hi everyone, I’m a long time stalker but finally got the courage to post.

  Welcome to the adventures of me “Yellow Ball” I travel around the world hoping to play a round, a hole, or at least a shot or two with my fellow spies. I normally appear to everyone as an average white guy with different logos on my coveralls from all my sponsors. You might not always know I’m around but I am. So I figured it’s about time to share some of my experiences over the past few years with members from the forum. Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for more adventures I’m always on the go.

My very first trip was to the North East and I got to tee off with @Chip Strokes So prior to my trip I decided to work out to prepare. So I started pumping some iron to get myself ready for his distance off the tee.

                                    

Well I’m ready. Here I am on the first tee preparing for impact.

Ok. I was not as prepared as I thought I was. I’m calling it quits. Breaker, Breaker I need a MEDIC!

 

I sent a sub in for me but did stick around to see him get an eagle on hole #10.

 

After my recovery I scheduled some time with @edingc . I did come better prepared this time.

After an adventurous tee shot I found myself in some shade. Seems like @edingc really doesn’t enjoy the bright sun in the middle of the fairway. He enjoys playing from the shade of the trees off the tee. As a matter of fact we did this on numerous holes. Here is one of those poop shots off the tee. Dam dropped my axe!

Maybe I should have chosen another second round partner. I’m getting pretty beat up here. But low and behold I’m back in play. Nice recovery….. Looks like you have experience getting out of the trees! You got a decent iron game. Come on let’s scramble for par here. Get me close. I’ll do the rest.

 

Check back soon, I have lots of adventures already completed.

Funny - as I was reading the @Yellow Ball post - the first thing I thought of was The Hat! 

[JohnSmalls]

[Chip Strokes]

We already have! You'll see soon.   Yellow Ball is everywhere.........

Let's just say I could have used that axe this morning...

[Yellow Ball]

So earlier today @The Hat said we should get together sometime. You can tell he is getting old. The first sign of getting old is not having a stiff shaft “in his driver”. The second sign is having a bad memory.

I got together with The Hat so he could help me find a hat for myself. I was looking for a cross between his and @Rickp 's hat. So we went shopping and this is what we came up with.

 

  So after our shopping trip I did go see @Rick P. Figured I would hook up with him when he was playing with the Bacon Boys. So disappointed nobody brought any bacon. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. Oops I meant to say bacon.  Figured I would try to fit in with the boys with that hat.

After the second hole Rick started mumbling “where the Sam heck did my swing go?” Then I heard some snickering from the gallery.

Yup, Rick has a gallery. I recognized a few in the front of the group that were watching us. His knee Dr., his hand Dr., and even his Podiatrist. Guess they were there to cheer him on so he could win and they could get paid for all the work they did or are going to do on him. The only one I didn’t see was his barber.  Never mind, my bad, he’s bald like me! Hence the hat!

Hey @Rickp , I couldn't find Sam but I found your swing!

 

[Shankster]

Pretty sure they was me screaming from Maryland asking where my swing went.

 

this is gold, have you thought of adding a golden friend?

 

Edit: Can’t wait to see what type of fire this match just lit….

I do have a lot of friends, but unfortunately most of them are either stuck in boxes or getting lost! I did have a golden retriever  as a friend once. Unfortunately he swallowed me and it took a few days before I got out of the subway and saw daylight again.

I'm almost afraid to comment on anything. I don't want to to open the door! But I'm laughing my butt off.

Just remember, the older the bull, the stiffer the horn! BTW, I was drunk on bug spray... @MattF uses a lot of that stuff.

Thank you for the offer. Fortunately for me I am former military. The VA hospital got me patched up. Then they sent me off to a ball refinishing company. When I got back I had a follow up visit. Then I met this hot chick who helped me get my game face back on. After telling her a bunch of my stories I think she is falling for me. Can't wait to roll around with her!

Never heard of it until now.  I was more referencing Aussie Aussie Aussie, leading the charge when it comes to hydration.

I learned at a very young age not to play with fire or you will get burnt (AKA Roasted).

So let's just touch base with @Shankster for a moment shall we. I know he was waiting for this. 

Who in their right mind names themselves after one of the worst mishaps in the golf swing? Must be a lot of history there!

I think if he spent more time practicing instead of posting he would be a decent golfer. Holy Balls Batman, he has over 15,000 posts. If the Shankster put that same effort into working on his drive and hitting the fairways he could actually be good and be able to post his real handicap instead of claiming WX. Isn’t everyone’s handicap in the works!

So back to the tee shot. What’s the big deal with the fairway? If the average fairway width is 35 to 45 yards wide and I’m only 1.68 inches wide there should be no problem getting me in it somewhere. Anywhere I’m not picky! I’m tired of being put in these situations by you.

I have an extremely large family. But every year I loose close to 300 million of my family members in the US alone. Please do your part and help! If you can achieve your goal of being in the fairway off the tee 20 % more you can save countless lives. I’m pulling for you. All us balls want to live a long and happy life.

Fairways and Greens every balls dream!

 

 

[Shankster]

Haha.  I can thank my ancestors for the lovely name.  In my defense, a majority of those posts came while I was trapped inside an igloo in the UP for 3 winters. 
 

WX is an abbreviation for Weather.  
 

Nice work, now you just need a hat like Curios George’s good friend.

[tony@CIC]

Now that would be to much yellow!

[Yellow Ball]

I finally scheduled a trip to play with someone that can get around the course and not lose me. After another crappy flight in baggage I finally arrived and got ready for my round.

I was nervous getting to play with @chisag today. You just never know what’s going to happen when playing with someone who is always pretending to be someone else. But truly my biggest mistake was playing with him in August. Although the golfing was good and I was getting around the course great, I now know what hell feels like. Sweat was coming out of my eye balls.

 

 

Since he was playing well and didn’t lose me anywhere I stuck with him for the day. We managed a two under par round. But I was confused. At the end of the day he tried to sell me a Christmas tree stand and some insurance. What’s a ball to do!  But I had a great round and managed to sweat off a few ounces. But once I got home I looked in the mirror and realized I should have bailed out sooner. I was burnt to a crisp.

 

 

Hasn't he ever heard of snow birds. When it gets hot you go north, when it gets cold you go south. I hope I get rid of the burn before my trip to meet up with a bunch of you in Ohio!

I was so excited, I got an invitation from @Lacassem to come out.

After seeing some of the pictures of him boating and that massive ship tattoo on his arm I thought we were going out for a relaxing day on the water.  I was so excited I forgot to wash my hat but I was ready and rolling out the door in a heartbeat.

 

 But no, we headed over to the golf course. He didn’t play all that great today struggling a bit with his approach play. He was also complaining about his back being stiff, his hamstring was tight.   Bla, bla, bla. No sympathy from me, a guy with no arms, legs, or even a back for that matter. Crap the only time I complained like that was when  @Chip Strokes hit me.

He did reminisce about his great round a week or two ago. Something about a 77. But I wasn’t there so it’s all hearsay.

Dragged you down! I'm the victim here...... If you guys kept me in play I'd have nothing to post about.
