Newcastle G.C - China Creek

last weekend we explored the China Creek golf track at Newcastle Golf Club. this was our first time playing this course. it is a course that meanders up and down a hilltop, known for its outstanding views of downtown Seattle & Bellevue. its a very technical course that demands course management. did i mention there were million dollar homes along the fairway of some holes? particularly on hole 14, yours truly shanked a drive that made a loud "thud" on someone's roof top (wake-up eastside b*tches). after that, i have to admit, i was rattled for the rest of the hole.

i played in a group with ponce, frizz and max (aka DJ Headache). its been a while since i've played with the homie frizz, but i gotta say i didn't recognize the kid looking like an athletic director (i ain't hatin' on you son...you clean up pretty smooth). everyone was hyped to play this course, which i believe to be one of the best public golf clubs in the area, but the one thing that i was most disappointed about was that the carts didn't have GPS. now for the premium that we pay to play this course (a wash if you buy the Platinum Player's card) you gotta have satellite up in this joint. the course booklets they gave were pretty and all, but you gotta be an orienteering genius to understand the distances in the thing. if you have a sky caddie or bushnell rangefinder, bring it to this course, cuz you're gonna need it! the perception of many of these holes may seem longer or shorter to your eye. this will play jedi mind tricks on you.

overall, it was a good day. won a couple of greenies with barlow and frizz. check the leaderboard fellas. looks like ben is runnin' away with it this summer, but a darkhorse is rising. here comes tha Director!!!!




no greenies won on #9


tha Director puttin' on #9


jedi mind tricks in full effect! these cats look pissed!

American Century Championship in Tahoe (07-15-09)

Check out some pic's... All I really did was stalk Jordan around for 5 or 6 holes. Was nuts how many people were out there trying to get autographs and pictures with him. He even told people he wasn't signing anything today.

Here is a pic of Bill Laimbeer and Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air putting around on the 7th hole.

Penny was there too...
But everyone was looking for Jordan. On the flier and in the news he was suppose to tee off at Noon. But instead Tee'd off like at 10... Good thing we got there early.

Check out Joran's carry bag. He's got a staff bag that is pretty ill. His carry bag isn't bad.

Jordan was playing with Bettis, one of those cats from NBC golf and another old white dude who is probably rich as hell.

Peep out some Video...
