In the Rough
Knowing that golf “In the rough” originated in green, wet, Scotland, Bryan was somewhat taken aback when he first saw the Arizona version of “In the rough . . .”
Not a Golden Retriever
Joey had told them he was “not a golden retriever;” fetching balls for golfers that couldn’t miss the water and getting hit on the head while sunning just showed no respect . . .
Sand Trap
The course had been rated “Challenging” with cautions for the sand trap before the 5th hole–perhaps an understatement . . .
“Call Me Tiger”
After finding a patch of pretty good loco weed, the party got rolling along quite nicely until Harold started his “Call me Tiger” routine. The girls said, “You ain’t a big cat from India, and you’re certainly not a famous golfer–you’re just big old Harold with a bad dye job . . .”
In the Rough
When Llewellyn had booked his Texas golf vacation, he had been intrigued by the description of the Blue Elbow Swamp course (just west of the Louisiana border) that had been billed as “In the rough”. Turns out the claim wasn’t just hyperbole, and there was no extra charge for the opportunity to mingle with the gators or cottonmouth water moccasins.
