I am looking for a good location for a golf outing for 12-16 of my buddies from college.?

We are looking for a good location for a golf outing for around 12 people. We are interested in good golf, but also a good scene to go out at night We all live in ny/philly/dc area now and we are probably interested in renting a house rather than hotel. I’d say our interest is probably split 50/50 between golfing and drinking/going out. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go or how to research this?

I have questions about playing golf at Bethpage State Park, I’m curious?

I know if you are going to play golf walking in at Bethpage Black, you have to stay overnight the night before, and park and campout in the parking lot, and I don’t plan to play there, I’m just curious, and I just want to know. Do you also have to stay overnight if you want to play the other Bethpage courses, like the Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow courses? Or you just have to stay overnight if you are going to play the Black course? Also if you made a reservation, a tee time for Bethpage Black, do you still have to stay overnight the night before, or you just show up like an hour early before your tee time? I know that you can make reservations by phone if you have your name on the system. I know that you can make a reservation a week in advance for NY state residents, and 2 days in advance for out of NY state residents. Also if you make reservations by phone, is it hard to get a tee time reservation in the Black course? How hard is it to get a reservation by phone? Also is it also hard to get in the other Bethpage courses like the Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green courses? According to Wikipedia, Torrey Pines in San Diego also does the same thing. Does any one know also if in Torrey Pines, you have to stay overnight to get a tee time if your walking in? Also in Bethpage,I know that they also give you a bakery ticket at 4:30 AM to those in line in the parking lot. What is a bakery ticket? Since I saw a segment in the US Open, on some NBC Sports workers stayed overnight for a tee time at Bethpage Black, and I saw them giving them a bakery ticket. I taught a bakery ticket is a ticket good for one free item or something from the bakery, like a muffin or something. Because I taught they will let you get something from the bakery free since you stayed overnight. I taught the bakery ticket is good for something in the bakery, if there is one in the clubhouse. I bet it’s not, but is it a ticket for one free pastry or something from the bakery? I’m sure it’s not, but what is a bakery ticket in Bethpage Black. I know they also give you wristbands to show that you were in line, and they cut it before you tee off in the first tee. Also does juniors, and women play in Bethpage Black? Is there also a forward red tee box in the Black course for women. I know there is a warning sign at the first tee saying only for low handicappers only. And can a junior play Bethpage Black? I know there is no junior fee there. I’m sorry, I know I have alot of questions, but I’m just curious, I just want to know. Only on weekends you have to camp out overnight in the parking lot. So on the weekdays, you can just walk in whenever? For the Black Course.
I already put this on the Golf section, and only 2 people answered. So I thought it would help to put it here, so probaly more people would answer, since more locals from NY answer here.

What do you think of my life?

OK, first off I am a 19 year old boy from NY and I graduated Hi School in 2006June. I have taken the year off, but I am going to college this fall. Now it is is spring, each day I wake up, have breakfast, excersice on eliptical, shower, read, eat lunch, go out side in the backyard to practice my golf, then I water my vegetables in my garden, later I go on the computer and sometimes I play board games with my sister. Then I eat dinner, at at night I watch TV and go on the computer and then go to bed. Oh, and one other thing, this summer I am trying to get a part time job (My mum is helping me) and I will be attending college in the fall.

Does Deepak Chopra give spiritual lessons on playing Golf ?

Deepak Chopra has recently taken up golf, and like so much of what the guru does, it may turn a profit too.

Chopra has written about his new game in a book titled, “Golf for Enlightenment.”

The MD and former disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi says, “I nourish my relationship with the ball by saying, ‘You’re part of me…. When you soar, I will soar with you.’ ”

Right.

And Chopra insists, “It’s not about winning.”

But according to an LA Times article “Golf with Deepak” by Roy Rivenburg, Chopra doesn’t really seem to follow through on his mantras.

When his game didn’t go well the guru/doctor “became increasingly rattled and distracted.” At one hole “he walked off without two of his clubs.”

Later as the Times staff writer watched, “he hit the wrong ball in the tree area [and] his karma went completely on the fritz.”

The golfing guru later tacitly admitted, “My book isn’t really about golf…It would be stupid of me to write a book about golf…. The title just gets you in the door. Once you’re in the door, it’s about something else — spirituality.”

So once again as Rivenburg points out astutely Chopra is “a shrewd marketer.”

It seems the guru’s golf book is just another gimmick, this time to target men as consumers for his “spiritual…empire.”

Dr. Deepak has followed in the footsteps of his mentor Maharishi and made “spirituality” into a virtual money machine.

Now that Scott McClellan denounced the Bush war will Sean and Rush be paid to discredit him and his new book?

Typical of Republicans to discredit anyone that defects from the Bush family tree. I cannot wait for the Republican media machine to get to work tomorrow and start calling this Scott all names. I hope true conservatives can see through the lies Bush and his followers have told. Bush lied to protect his fathers failure/legacy, Period. He has put many of our families/military in harms way for the wrong objective, while also lying about his feeling sorry for them by not playing golf.

Ten worst gifts to buy a woman?

1. Never give a woman any kind of household appliance or something that is going to make “housework” easier. For instance, a blender, a toaster, a new vacuum, one of those mops they advertise on tv that does everything but suck the life out of you, anything in a informercial. The only wise choice is a new washing machine with a turbo spin cycle. (Makes laundry day go by pretty fast when you can at least sit on it during spin-dry and end up smiling the rest of the day.)

2. Any bulk cleaning supplies, “honey, I got you that large box of Tide you have been wanting.” “This Windex should last you a while.” “I got a good deal on the industrial strength toilet bowl cleaner.” All I can say is, be prepared to run. I have faith that if you would have at least stopped and thought about what would be a much more intimate gift, you would have had the sense to spring for the $5 Chia Pet you were eyeing in Kmart.

3. Any sharp objects made by Ronco which slices or dices, or a set of ginsu knives. These may one day be used as a weapon against you when you come home with lipstick on your collar after a “night out with the boys.”

4. Do not buy gifts for yourself and pretend they are for her. “Honey, I’m sure you’ll get a lot of use out of the new drill I bought you.” By then she will have put it to good use by drilling a quarter inch hole into the side of your skull for even thinking she would accept such a lame gift. After a gift like this, you probably won’t be around for NEXT Christmas.

5. Any lingerie made of flannel, such as a pair of feet pajamas with a trap door in back. A Little Mermaid or Barney cartoon character nightgown. It gives her the idea that you do not consider her the sexy woman that she is. Take out that wallet and buy her something sexy from Victoria Secret (just like you did for your mistress or other girlfriend).

6. No name perfume which costs you $1.99, such as Eu de Toilet, which actually smells like the bathroom, moldy fruit, or your dirty socks. If you are going to buy her perfume, spring for the brand names.

7. Any type of cubic zirconia jewelry you see on the Home Shopping Network. It will be quite embarrassing when she is showing off that fabulous diamond to her friends and tries to cut glass with it. (We actually test them you know.) Also, now would not be a good time to buy her that set of diamond nipple clamps you always wanted to, you know how we like to show off our jewelry and it could get embarrassing at the New Year’s party when she decides to show them off to your buddies.

8. Please do not buy her clothes because you think for one minute you have good taste in woman’s clothing. Well, perhaps you might if you are a transvestite, but all in all, believe me, she’ll smile and say its beautiful while choking back tears and mumbling under her breath, “were the hell would I ever wear this outfit without being arrested for bad taste?” An additional hint, plaids do not go with stripes (even though you think your golfing outfit looks just fine). Its a known fact to the rest of the world that that is a taboo. In the Northeast, thats like wearing white after Labor Day.

9. Do not give her a gift certificate to Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Most men would know better, especially the ones who have learned the correct response to “do these pants make me look fat.” If you are one of the poor souls who still doesn’t get it and purchased a gift like this, be prepared for the silent treatment for a month. (Although that may be something you would actually look forward to.) A better alternative would be hiring a Chippendale dancer as a personal trainer to get her motivated into getting fit.

10. Last but not least, never buy a woman anti-wrinkle cream, or a book on “How not to be Nasty Sunday through Saturday.” These are not considered gifts, they are considered reasons for seriously injuring the person who bought it and just may stand up in court of law.

does anyone know of a free online pattern or instructions for drafting a PRACTICAL dog hat?

I could only find instructions for a sort of golf-hat and race-hat for greyhounds (I can re-size any pattern if necessary, so the intended breed does not matter) These are too ‘decorative’.
Obviously, the SM hasn’t owned a dog that gets sunburnt – and sunscreen doesn’t work because she just licks it off or rolls in the dirt with it. She has no issue wearing clothes though so I thought I might as well try a hat

can anyone give me a wiring diagram for installing turn signals on a golf cart, or writtewn instructions.?

i do not have the owners manual or any manuals that came with the cart when it was new.

Where is the Inlet Air Temp. Sensor on my VW Golf – detailed instructions needed. I know its on the air intake

I try to repair the ’99 VW Golf upper radiatior hose, is there any websites or instructions online?

I would like to know how to do it by myself.

Where is the Best Golf Instruction Book?

I have been searching all over the place and I need a golf instruction book that will help my golf swing.

Golf courses that don’t cost much?

I just want to know what would be some good and easy beginners courses to start that don’t cost money or don’t cost MUCH money. Please don’t answer crazed. And please make sure the answer is only about GOLF!!!

Beginner golf courses in Ontario?

I’ d new to golf and I’m looking for some golf courses to go to in Ontario (2 or 3 hour drive from Toronto at the most preferably).

Anyone know of any?

Looking for somewhere to go that I won’t feel like Im getting in peoples way or holding things up as I’m just learning

What are the good brands selling golf equipments?

I am thinking of starting golf course for beginners. I want to buy some golf equipments.

What are the good brands selling golf equipments at cheap prices?

Is it okay for beginners to play on the golf course or is that not a good idea?

I’m not really good and I slice a lot top a lot etc. But I can hit the ball well just not consistently. So would I cause problems if I were to play on the course? I’m considering getting a club membership and I might as well use the course and not just the driving range.

Point me in the direction of some easier golf courses in San Diego?

I’ve only just started playing (this year), and have up to now only really played executives. I’d like to graduate up to bigger courses, but my last couple of experiences weren’t much fun (Balboa & Carmel Mountain).

So… what are some good full size courses in San Diego that are suitable for beginners?

Who’s played Disc Golf and where is the best place to play?

I have played in Oregon a little bit and love it. I live in Utah now and wish there were more places to play. It is a prefect summer sport for those of us that are not as good at regular Golf! I just am going on a trip across the country and am wondering where are some good places to go.

Why do I even care?

My husband of 6 yrs decided he wanted a divorce & 4 months later it was final. I didn’t want the divorce. He simply said he wanted to come and go as he pleases…having a wife & baby was tying him down. He says I’m smart, beautiful & a great mom…he just thinks we are incompatible & I’m bitchy. Anyway, the divorce was final last month & it is so hard. How do I stop loving him? When I’m around him I can barely look at him or speak to him it hurts so bad. Since the split, he’s been to Vegas, 3 golf trips & is now buying a motorcycle. He’s having a great time while I’m silenting suffering for the family I miss. Meanwhile, he’s mean to me most days when we have to discuss things like times to exchange our daughter etc. I never get angry or raise my voice. Everyone says he’ll regret it someday, even his own parents. But, I honestly think he must really be enjoying his new life. We are 33 yrs old…why why why do I even care how he spends his time after he dumped me?
Just to answer most of you, he is extremely successful & we receive excellent alimony & child support so there are no financial concerns.

Is it okay for my husband to take solo ski trips by himself?

My husband often takes trips up to Blue Mountain on his own, now as a family we all ski and snowboard. We have been happily married for 15 years, but it bothers me that he takes it upon himself to go up for the day without giving much thought to the others. Is this okay or am I being selfish. I know some men golf and perhaps he just want to be on his own. What does everyone think. Is this ok?
He likes to do it on a weekly basis,
He likes to do it on a weekly basis,

I broke up with my GF for many reasons & now I want her back whats my deal?

All the BS & I still want her back in the worst way,she drove me crazy & complained about the smallest of things,her birthday I didn’t do enough,I teased her once in a cute way & she just got PISSED!!! I went on a golf trip I have been doing for years & she was annoyed & that was only after 4 months of dating,then I moved in with her & her 2 kids & the drama amassed,she didn’t like my friend Angela for some odd reason & lied about things she did to get fired at work(she worked with her) & never realizing it was her jealousy kicking in,then even though I spent 95% of my time with her she never trusted me because of Angela being my friend,so she started going through my phone & looking at my texts & seeing who I called getting on my computer & going into my cookies to see if I was doing anything naughty or looking through my history,& I couldn’t understand her mistrust I wasn’t doing ANYTHING!! so I left her for 3 months & then went crawling back for some reason thinking everything
could get better & it was my fault & I took all the blame & she still said NO!!! & we still talk & she’ll call me or i’ll call her & I asked her to go to the movies recently & she said I don’t think its a good idea then I said I do & she said oh i’ll think about it & blah blah blah? Why am I doing this to myself,I love her dearly & wish It could of worked the first time & why should I want her back & what are my chances with her??

Now that Obama is back in Washington from his re-election campaign trip to New York yesterday…?

Now that he’s consulted with Al Sharpton on how to keep his base happy and contributing money,

Will he have time to use that ‘laser-like focus’ of his on something as minor as the govt shutting down?

Maybe in between golf games this afternoon?
