Golf at Cascata (or How I Ejaculated After Hitting a $400 Driver)

[MadJack]

Golf is so annoyingly Republican.
It?s an arrogant game played by rich people. It?s a criminal waste of precious water and land. It?s a firewall intended to preserve oligarchy. And it relies on minimum-wage making Mexicans to do all the landscaping and maintenance.
I despise golf. I hate private country clubs even worse. But this bitter resentment has nothing to do with politics. It?s because, when it comes to golf ?

[THE KOD]

There?s a ?bar car? which circles the course. By my third double gin and tonic, I?m no longer self-conscious about my horrid golf game. If I didn?t care what others thought before, with each sip I was now slipping into ?fuck it? territory.

....................................................................
We step up to the 12th tee box. By this time, I?m hitting all my tee-shots with Marissa off the Ladies area. Three gin and tonics pretty much washed away the humiliation of rude stares from passersby and staff as to why a grown man who be teeing off with a girl while the real man in the group shot from the regular tee box.

At this point, Marissa stops me. She pulls out her great white whale of a driver and says, ?Here Nolan, try this.?

?Why should I use your club?? I asked. ?It?s just a driver. They?re all the same.?

Yeah ? but this one cost $400. Try it.?

Fine. What do I have to lose, other than more money?

I get a grip of her pristine laser-like titanium club of doom. Instantly, I feel transformed into a new man. Imagine being handed one of those ?And the Force Be With You? light sticks from the Star Wars movie. It was like that. I suddenly felt like Hercules. Maybe it was just hearing that the club cost $400.

The tee box is perched at one of the highest points on the course. You gaze downward and see not only most of the golf holes, but the entire valley basin below, including the highway which leads to Laughlin. Imagine looking out and seeing perhaps 40-50 miles ahead. Like being on a desert version of Mount Everest.

I slowly pull back my swing. Every joint and muscle moves in perfect unison.

I'm going to try a get a picture of the guy shining shoes at the Orleans next time I am there. He looks just like Nolan.

Clem was pretty good. There was a guy who you write about his business travels, I remember one of them was in Africa. He also attached a video of himin a car. Can't remember his name.

that is no pepper

Why do you need a $400 driver when when you can hit it 400 yards :shrug:
