Playing from the Rough

Playing from the Rough

Bushwood opened up for Friends and Family Day this morning and the crowds turned up en masse to see what it’s all about.  20 men were not scared off by rumors of a doody in the pool.  But the gloom is ever-present well past 6:15 AM these days and no one saw anything they shouldn’t have.

WARM-UP

After a mosey through the parking lot, YHC asked the PAX to share their feelings, to open up. Apparently, that is a good way to end mumblechatter.

MOLESKINE

The rough was thick at Bushwood this morning and for those who didn’t refusenik, they came away with the grass clippings to prove it. But that’s okay, because real men find their balls when the rough is thickest. One Star found some on his chest today.

Throw in a few more odd exercises and a merkin clock and you have a classic Das Boot workout. YHC has wanted to utilize the swerkin for more than two years and it finally worked out today and it proved to be an unrelenting exercise — between that and the sumo hillbillies, the quads have been screaming with each stair today.

Several site FNGs at Bushwood today and the atmosphere was fantastic for an early round with the boys. And it ended with the official snack of the Bushwood Country Club pool — the Baby Ruth. If you didn’t get one, let YHC know and you’ll find one coming your way sometime soon.
