Maybe it involved that saying: "Alcohol - because no good story ever started with someone eating a salad!" 555

True, dat.

Nice… so let’s do the math, if you’re a bad golfer, that’s ~ 150 shots per round, or 650 rounds of golf.

If you’re a pro, that’s 80 shots per round or 1250 rounds of golf.

My guess is you are a very good amateur and shooting 100-110 per round. That’s 1000 rounds, or 200 per year. That’s damn near a full time hob…

Somehow I think that his vision and President Trumps vision of how to accomplish this have more differences than sameness.

I never realized that Alaska bordered Mexico.

I find it hard to believe that Kansas has any mountain at all, much less one taller than their buildings.
