I’ll bring a ball retriever for you.

Must avoid the briars at all costs.

You think they'd look at me funny if I came to the course wearing snake chaps? They work to keep the briars off, too.

I was reading Lou Stagner's newsletter yesterday and the post was about average score based on course rating and slope.   For those playing Royal New Kent it might help set some scoring expectations.  

 

 

Yeah 149 slope from the blacks?  Yikes   It's been a while since I've played RNK

Nah, they’ll just think you are from Texas. When someone questions you just yell out a name. Then tell them you’re looking for your horse.

Jason, just remember to not ONLY wear the chaps. Please.

My personalized Pro Vs came in! Why am I posting them here instead of the What Have You Bought Lately Thread, you might ask?  Because if you’re on this thread you are never going to see them…there is zero chance I’m bringing them to Kingsmill.  The last thing I need is to go out in the first tee time and then listen to this group go “who else found a Colonel ball today?” for the rest of the outing.

I was thinking I would be finding them for months at RNK.  We will probably still be yelling "anyone found the Colonel's ball?"

@GolfSpy AFG  That settles it. I know what I'm bringing you.

An instant classic. Think of the bragging rights on who captures the first wayward Colonel ball. Love it.

Quite the collectors item. You could have a raffle on who collects the first pair of “Colonel” balls. Simply priceless. But of course you would need the matching Colonel ball mark.

@GolfSpy AFG here I was thinking you a braver man than I. I've got 5 dozen of these bad boys and would love to share them with y'all and the great people of Virginia and Maryland and possibly Pennsylvania. I'm bringing all my boxes so anyone who wants one can have one

[Luisddavila]

Im starting to regret not going

[Billy Mike]

lol…. I like some of those but I don’t get them just for that reason….. I even use to have a very distinct way I would mark my ball until I find others who are playing with them or it’s ended up in the driving range balls

[StrokerAce]

for my buddy - who's not a very good golfer but belongs to a fancy club in town as a tax write-off - I bought him a dozen balls that said his name and free drink on him when you return it to the bar (or something like that) ... he got a real kick out of that and I'm not sure he even played em.

[golfinnut]

I'm still waiting on my 4 boxes of Left Dash balls.  Not sure they will arrive before Kingsmill

Are you seriously suggesting he's only going to lose one?!  We all know we'll be looking for Colonel's balls.

The only thing I will say about these is that it'll take you now to a blank Twitter page after I deleted that app out of my life. Happier now for it sometimes. It's all about growing the brand and having some fun!

[GolfSpy_APH]

I keep feeling like this is closer than it actually is. I know it isn't that far off, but I still want it to be sooner!

I never provided an amount or how many times the question would be asked.

 I think there are still a few spots,  @Golfspy_CG2, it’s not too late is it?

just enough time to be finishing up a stack session and primed for speed! 

[ChuckZ]

Really wish I had known earlier.  Have registered and paid to play in an event at the Dormie Club in East End, NC at that same time. Bummer.  Would loved to have made this event.

Once the iphone is charged up a little more I am going to go out for my first session!

If that is the case I may be in.  My March and April trips to VA have not come to fruition so I have some time available.  The plans I had for that weekend have also shifted so some would say the stars are aligning.

You all know about The Colonel's ice cold plunges, right?

And you know about the uhh .. the umm .. shrinkage Factor..?

[Signature goes here]

I'm not sure how I've never looked at your signature before, but is it actually possible that these are your actual clubs currently? I literally had to Google 90% of them. lol.  I know you're funny, but are you THAT funny that you'd throw up a retro WITB and just leave it there? 

I must know.

That is my actual bag and the clubs that fill it. you will get to see that in 59 (- 1 if you read this tomorrow) days.  Appreciate the compliment from another funny man in the forum

There is still room, and actually kind of really need at least two more to sign up.  

Have you read all the details on the link to the registration signup link that was in the first post?  Feel free to PM me or any of the MODS with questions you might have.

Yeah but you're playing the Dormie Club!  I think that's a good tradeoff.
