SamBinliner Posted on Oct 11 2004, 04:52 AM SamBinliner, Thanks Scotland for inventing golf. You also invented Kilts. We American's choose to improve on then one good idea the Scott's had. . . golf. We've made golf into one of the greatest games worldwide but only after adding corrections to a reasonable beginning to the rules. Now, the USGA rules are recognized around the world as the standard rules to the game of golf. We also made vast improvements to golf equipment, golf accessories, golf balls, the rules, proper dress code, (not Kilts) and on infinitum. As far as your Scott

F.A.R.T. WE LAUGH AT U YANKEES, FART Free All Rideher Trophys SamBinliner The Great Sam Bin Torrence. He is a god. . . Not! He may be a god from your land The Great Sam Bin Torrence but he isn’t crap from where we come from. In my humble opinion he is a non-threat to Team USA being no more than a mere FART in an open desert sand storm and will fade away rapidly. Regarding the RideHer Cup Trophy, beyond any FART’s wildest dreams, it will be retained and protected by our operatives already infiltrating LOS, Pattaya. Currently our briefing reports indicate our operati

The Hereafter? A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife. After a long life, the husband was the first to go and true to his word, he made contact. "Mary ..... Mary" !! "Is that you, Joe?" "Yes, I've come back like we agreed." "What's it like?" "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and off to the golf course and I have sex. I bathe in the sun, then I have sex twice. I have lunch, another romp around the golf course, then sex pretty much all

Hi Hilly, HILLY Posted: Oct 4 2004, 04:21 AM Possibly on Sat or Sun in the morning? We arrive in Pattaya at around 2:00 in the morning on Thursday, 4th of Nov. Need a little time to adjust to the heat and stuff. Would be great to go play the course and see what it is like and get a feel. . . of the caddies and course. See everyone soooooooooon. Just 28 days 19 hours 9 minutes and 3 seconds then wheels-up and off to LOS, Thailand. . . but who's counting? Regards, ff29

Did I mention GPS guided golf balls. That might work for those of us who get off track. Only $200 USD each or $1,999 USD for a box of a dozen. Put in your orders now and we can bring them along with us when we pick up Hilly's smokes. No exta charge for all my friends in Thailand for transportation. Hope this helps you guys out a little bit. Just 38 day 16 hours 40 minutes 8 seconds then wheels-up and off to LOS, Thailand. . .but who's counting? Regards, ff29 PS They are programable from a 390 yard drive down to a mere 3 foot putt.

Hilly, IMHO, I would suggest a few lessons from a USGA golf pro or equivalent and have him or her straighten out your swing mechanics. Then have him or her suggest a set and style of golf clubs suited to you and your skill level. Worked wonders for my wife’s game. However, one further suggestion: Don't go until after the RideHer Cup III. It sounds like to me your in great form for the event from my point of view. See you and AM in Pattaya soon. BTW, Hilly, it is most likely you and not so much you're clubs. Lessons really do help one to correct their errors. As for the pros, it

Hi wobbly_1, I have a set a Callaway X16 Pros w/True Temper Sensicore Shafts and I've played the knockoffs. When you first play new knockoffs they seem pretty good but after a number of rounds they seem to go flat or dead. Also, most major manufactures of quality clubs give a good warranty (Callaway's warranty is LIFE TIME REPLACEMENT) which is hard to beat if you need to use it. But, IMHO, if you're set on a name brand set of clubs i.e. Callaway, Nike, etc., then I'd shop for name brands on the Internet and even consider a quality used set to be even better than a cheap knockoff set.

stoace, My experience in trying to purchase discounted golf clubs in Pattaya, Thailand at the various shopping malls (Mike Mall, The Big C, etc.) I found the prices to be higher than at local discount outlets in the USA. I would suggest searching the WWW for the best deals with shipping and no taxes. DHK Discount Golf The above link is one example of what is out there. I bought a set in the USA and left them in Pattaya, Thialand so I didn't have to haul them back and forth. At the above site Nike Slingshots in Graphite Shafts are $639 USD and the Steel Shafts are $549 USD. I don't

Hi Hilly, Sorry to hear you had such a bad time at Laem Chabang International Country Club. Now with the pond water so high do to your ball dunking and all those pot holes you created in the fairways I guess I will have to pass playing that once wonderful prestine golf course. As I said in another post on the RideHer Cup III: I guess by your own account I was correct. But as they say, whoever they are, time will tell. Cheryl and I will keep our eyes open at the duty free stores for your smokes. Looking forward to seeing you and AM again this trip. Take care and do not pratice t -
Hi Allan and Eurpeans, Congratulations, Cheers, and all that rot on winning the Ryder Cup in Detroit, MI - USA. Too bad we only sent USA's B Team! But fair warning is in order to all of you on Team Europe. . .the USA is going to have the A Team playing in LOS - Thailand in the FLB's RideHer Cup III. We're working very hard at keeping USA's secret weapon good and healthy this year. As was mentioned in another post Europe's Team only has one chance to counter USA's secret weapon and that is AM but unfortunately she is off-set by Hilly. Hope to see all the old gang and the newbies

The following rates are with NWA and are prices with cash and miles (World Perks Miles). These are rates that have been offered for the past several years in the Fall discount rates. I have highlited the rate I got from northern Minnesota USA with tax and custom charges it was a total of $957 for both tickets round trip. Not to bad of a rate from an out lying area and not a major airport.

Just wondering as it was not mentioned at the begining of this thread. . . Where is the RideHer Cup III being held at this yead. I heard it was being planned to be held at the Robert Trent Jones Jr course Eastern Star in Rayong? Is this where we are playing this year and if not where? Curious minds want to know. 59 days 14 hours 9 minutes6 seconds before wheels-up and off to LOS, Thailand. Regards, ff28

Hi Everyone, Cheryl and I will be there again this year for The RideHer Cup III to help represent Team USA. Hopefully, Cheryl will make it to the game this year and not end up in the Hospital again. . . even if it was a great hospital. The Pattaya International Hospital on Soi # 5 and Second Road is the best and thanks to Hilly, AM, and the Hospital Staff my wife, Cheryl, got great treatment and at a reasonable price. Also, I have got to say the staff at The Residence Garden hotel where we stayed provided extra special care and attention during her illness before and after her stint

Top Ten Things that Sound Dirty in GOLF but aren't: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 10. Nuts...my shaft is bent 9. After 18 holes I can barely walk 8. You really whacked the hell out of that sucker 7. Look at the size of his putter 6. Keep your head down and spread your legs a bit more 5. Mind if I join your threesome? 4. Stand with your back turned and drop it 3. My hands are so sweaty I can't get a good grip 2. Nice stroke, but your follow through has a lot to be desired And the number 1 thing that sounds dirty in golf but i

Hi Everyone, November is a good month for Cheryl and I. We plan to stay a month again this year if all goes well. I already have my clubs in Pattaya now all I have to do is join up with them for RideHer Cup III. On the back nine last year, our match came down for us to the last shot on the last hole only for me to get beat by one stroke. That is what I call great fun and I think everyone had a great time from what I saw there. Ben and Callum did a great job putting everthing together. I'm sure this year will be even better than last year, if that's possible. Keep the, "Do Over Mulligan," w

Ben, I was just reading your balance sheet you posted and I see an expense for "COACH" for 6000 Baht. . .and I didn't even see her there nor did I get a BJ.

Posted by: Blazer Posted on: Today at 18:12:12 Hi Blazer: Most defiantly get a hard-shell case. I've been there three time and have had no problem with checking my clubs and getting to and from Bangkok. The last time I was there in Oct - Nov 2003 I bought a cheaper set of golf clubs and had and old bag that I stuffed them into then left them in Pattaya. The last trip I didn't bring my expensive set of clubs but instead T-Zoid knock-offs. I just took and old hard plastic bucket put it over the club heads and then placed the rain cover over that and some duct tape around. The clubs a

CUP 2003 A GREAT DAY, BAD RESULT! (part2)
ff29 replied to duece's topic in RideHer Cup Planning and Discussion
Hi Everyone: It is in my opinion that the RideHer has been won, fair and square, by the rightful victors, as it should be, Team USA! Now I have just a little question, "Does anyone have a clue where the little prized trophy is at the present time?" I know Joop ran off with it last year but on good information he was tied-up this year in some sort of knot? Well, at least someone said he was, "Tying the knot," or something like that. Maybe one of his "Operatives" was at the post game party at the FLB Bar and made off with it again, gave it to Joop, and it's off again on a world tour? I t -

Hi Everyone, For those of you that took part in the poll and are interested here are the results. . .which just go to show you that all polls are just a bunch of "Bullshit." Thanks for taking part just the same and BTW for those of you that missed the RideHer Cup 2003 it was a really great time and much fun was had by all. Thanks Ben and Mac for all that was done to make this years Cup even better than last years. The poll Results: Yes! 3 (15%) No! 5 (25%) Don't Give a Shit. 5 (25%) Have My Own Suggetion Posted Below. 0 (0%) Replaced With LTTG w/BF PAID -
How did we survive? Life was sure different. . . in days gone by. Hope you're having a great day. My mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning. My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes too, but I can't remember getting E-coli. Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring). The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was th

[smiley=thumbup.gif] Great News! [smiley=thumbup.gif] A.M. is playing in the RideHer Cup 2003. Mrs. ff29 will be happy to hear the good news that she won't be the only lady playing this year's Cup game. It will be great to see the gang again for this most prestigeous event of the year hosted by the FLB Bar. There might be "copy cat" golfing events out there but there's only one. . .
