Yellow Ball Roast's

[chisag]

... I have tried to stay out of this thread but I feel Yellow Ball is misleading MGS members like Walter Mitty. Every night I put yellow balls on top of my lost/found stash and every morning when I check on them, I find them hiding on the bottom of the box. I am certainly open to an explanation but "I am afraid" we already know the answer.

Yellow balls are a little shy! They are out numbered greatly. If youv'e noticed when you move them back to the top there is one or two more. You know what's going on down there. I was so happy to see my cousin from Europe there.  Tell him I said "Goalllll !

I vote for this to be the best thread ever on MGS....including the Odyssey Giveaway. Thank you @Yellow Ball!

Here’s yet another escapade from my trip to Oregon a while back. Just a fun fact here to start with. Oregon has the most ghost towns of any state. Just seemed appropriate since I am finally getting to post this one in October even though my trip was a while back. But having the most ghost towns makes perfect sense to me. Forget the crap about mining and lumber industries drying up. It’s because the golf season is only 5 months long and they get 37 inches of rain a year. I wouldn’t live there either!

So I got a round in with @CarlH and a few of his buddies. I was never so confused. I could never figure out where I was on the course. His buddies were pretty impatient with slow play. There was a group of women in front of us and one of them was a notorious slow player. I think a snail could have kept pace with her. So we were jumping around the course playing different holes to keep moving.

 I think the golf gods were not pleased with him letting his buddies pressure him into skipping around and asked me to help them out in my own "special way". So I gave him as many bad breaks as I could. I like fried eggs even though it reminds me of one of my relatives. I figured I would give him one of those to start.

 

 He wasn’t saying very nice things to me after that. Now I know why his last name is Harsch.  It just amazes me how quickly I can get under someone’s skin on the golf course. Right after this incident his chip- yips showed up. That put him on the bogey train after that. What a blast! Sometimes I have a little to much fun messing with people.

I think these guys in Oregon have no patience. Always wanted to get away from the traffic. Now I will admit Carl wanted to play the course as intended. But he succumbed to peer pressure. He had a weak moment. Maybe he needs some balls! (Yellow of course)

So you know Carl plays bad when he doesn’t get a good night sleep. He was probably worried about when Yellow Ball would throw him on the grill. So now that’s its out, and I gave him a hell of a day he should be starting to get some better sleep and his game will improve. Hey just a thought Carl, try counting yellow balls when you go to sleep! Just think of me smiling at you over and over! You’ll play so much better the next day. Oh wait that’s right, that won’t happen now it’s probably already snowing there!

One Yellow Ball, Two Yellow Ball, 3YB, 4YB........Zzzzzz

 I wish I could have been with him on a different day. But you know, “Yellow Ball” can be anywhere at anytime!  I felt bad afterwards and got him a root beer. I’m sure I’ll catch back up with him sooner or later.

I did meet up with one more spy from that area while on my trip. But you will just have to wait to see who. It's going to be a long winter so hopefully some of my stories will help pass the time for you spies foolish enough to live where that white sh*t falls from the sky.

If it's in print it must be true.. Yellow Balls reputation is on the line.  Sorry to my therapist I tried to be nice!

Tony, Tony Tony... you are going to ask a golfer for his side of the story. Haa Haa Haa. Next thing you know he will tell you he got out of the sand in one and made the putt! You know that didn't happen!  I was trying to be nice and not comment on his sand game or lack of, but you opened the window. 

Sorry Carl, this one is on Tony.

It's kind of like you telling us you cleared the pond and made the green on hole one with your drive. Oh my stomach hurts from laughing so hard.

 

[CarlH]

In my defense, I was pretty drunk.  I've had enough of Oregon, BTW .... headed off to another pasture soon.  Arkansas will be the future home.  I'm going to invite @Yellow Ballto visit me as my guest at our Member Guest tournament.  Bear in mind, that a substantial entrance fee will be required....I did mention that you were paying for the both of us, plus all buy ins and side bets, right?

... We have already established some insights into Yellow Ball and his favorite movie character Brave Sir Robin from The Holy Grail should have given us a clue, so don't expect him to take you up on your challenge. Found this hiding out over the weekend when getting ready to make some French Toast and it certainly may give us some insight into the age old question of which came first:

Awwww how cute. A fresh batch. Obviously you don't know jack about a fresh hatch. Can't you see the pale complexion. My God man, your supposed to pick up immediately and spank it's bottom to get it breathing and bring out the darker yellow color.  This also gets them used to their future of being smacked around.

Yellow Ball has played in Arkansas in late June. It was hot as hell and humid. I hate a sweaty ball. Reminded me of playing in Arizona except with the shower on. 

If you need me for your Member Guest then I'm coming in my birthday suit. No pockets = No cash!

Now you know I've seen you play. Why would I want to throw away my hard earned money! 

Besides with my current popularity I am starting to get appearance fee offers, and another spy wants to be my agent for a book.  @dlow206 paid for my flight out your way. You want me then Buck Up Buddy! 

Hope my head doesn't swell with all the popularity. I would hate to have to go out an buy all new hats.

Now that is quite a change-up.  What is it about OR that has been enough and about AR that drew you there? Hopefully you're close to this.

Actually, as long as @Yellow Ball is not less than 1.680 inches in diameter, his swelled head doesn't matter... no maximum "head" size.

However, as much as he has been in the water, he might exceed the weight limit!!

One guess is that AR has a much higher population of Yellow Balls

Another guess is that AR isn't as cold as it will be here in the PNW this winter when we have a much higher population of Blue Balls.

The trick is to not live where the white sh*t falls from the sky, when the white sh*t falls from the sky .

Well, well, well., I'm finally wearing off on a few of you and your letting your sense of humor spill out. So good to see a bunch of you having a little fun and "egging " me on.

I work out regularly and get a tremendous amount of rolling exercise finding my way home. 

I'd love to stay and chat but I have a bunch of hookers coming over in a little while. Gota get ready.

@Rickp get you mind out of the gutter. Bunch of guys that hook the ball are coming over for a poker game.

I hit the dreaded “straight ball”

"You only hit a straight ball by accident.  The ball is going to move right or left every time you hit it, so you had better make it go one way or the other." -  Ben Hogan

Apparently, you and I have a lot of "accidents" on the course.

... Ben was playing balata balls and hitting one of those straight with a persimmon driver or Muscle Back iron was most definitely impossible. Today everything is designed for straight and working the ball one way or the other is doable but you really have to work at it. Of course unless you don't want it to curve and then a nice over the top, open face delivery can do wonders moving the modern ball.

Science made the game easier for us without most of us realizing and we still have difficulty keeping it straight.  What a game

... True dat. I do hit a pretty straight ball. That said, on any given day I can easily push it straight right into trees, water or another fairway. Low and left is also an option although not as popular as high and right.

Tired of the smoke every year, the taxes, the growing drug and vagrancy issues, and the overall direction the state is going.  Hot Springs Village, Ar is the largest gated community in the US with 11 lakes and 9 golf courses.
