DIS Golf Idea

[fightinfire21]

Hey DIS Team I was just listening to this weeks email show and after hearing the lady that wants to golf with Bob I had an idea. You should have a DIS Golf Tournament. You could do the scramble (Bob Golf) format and have all proceeds go to a charity. Maybe donate to the one you were speaking about in this weeks regular show (can't remember the name without going back to listen). Throw in some prizes for the winners and it would be a great day of fun. :thumbsup2

[fightinfire21]

I can't believe there are no golfers on this board that think this would be a blast. We have quite a few of these tournaments in our local area that I play in each year. They are fun and they raise money for a good cause.

[beachwarmer]

My husband and I are in if John volunteers to watch my DD5.



John's Golf Daycare......

Even at Disney they frown on young children on the courses.

[MAGGIED]

my husband and son would love to do something like that... they do that here in our area all the time....

[ChelleinNC]

We'd been in, I might even plan a quick getaway to WDW for this one.

[fightinfire21]

I am just getting the chance to listen to this weeks show and I thought that I would bump this post I made in Feburary.

[DisneyKevin]

Think it's a great idea....as long as I dont have to do it.:lmao:

So true Kevin! However if you guys fly me out, im happy to babysit! :rotfl:

[TSWJan78]

I was going to offerif people cannot make it to Orlando to do one in Massachusetts the same weekend you do one in Orlando. I know Bob was from this area and he has friends that are still up here so I am more than happy to spear head something like that up here incase there is a group that cannot make the trip.

I would suggest to make it a mini-golf event at the Fantasia Gardens across from the Swalfin. Everyone can play, and it does not need to be a 7am start (thinking of Kevin and John). The braver souls can play the Fairway course.

I think it would be a better time with everyone closer together instead of being on a regular course that is so large. It would be a blast!:thumbsup2

I am not a golfer but mini-golf for a Bawb Benefit I would love to do.

May be something to tie into an early December Podcast Meet (hint, hint, hint).

I was the lady that wanted to golf with Bob! I thought it would be a good idea to have Bawb Golf as a prize in one of the envelopes...then kind ol Bawb said to contact him when we got into town. My husband and I were were looking forward to golfing with Bawb. This would be great idea I think. A golf tournament in Bawbs honor! Love the idea.

[wildeoscar]

count me all in... best ball scramble with a shot gun start... which I am guessing few are gonna understand... keep it at 72 players or under. heck could do this on the really hard putter golf course, the one that is long ball.

Huh?

I understand!:)

Could you please translate. I don't speak golf. Or is it Wild O speak?

Sure ... it's a Texas Scramble which means teams of four are all designated to a hole 1 through 18. At the shotgun start everyone begins at their designated spots, everyone has a ball and you all tee off. Then you take whatever team member has the best ball and everyone picks up their ball and hits from the spot of the best ball and so on till all the holes are done. This was the way Bawb played when he said he "played best ball." Using a shotgun start every team should finish about the same time. Hope that helps!

Thank you!:thumbsup2

[farmergirl]

Thank you!:thumbsup2

No problem! Happy to help! It would be like a mini Dis Meet! Golfing with fellow Diser's. I LOVE IT!::yes::

[wildeoscar]

I didn't make it up this time. and as I remember, one of the putter golf courses is really long, which would make it easier, but still golf like.

[farmergirl]

I didn't make it up this time.:rotfl: Why have you been know to make things up???? now I am lost:)

[checkwriter]

Think it's a great idea....as long as I dont have to do it.:lmao:

You don't have to play to participate. At many charity tournaments there will be "beverage girls" who drive around the course :moped: in skimpy halter tops dispensing much-needed liquid refreshment :drinking1 to the weary contestants. This could work in a modified fashion on a mini-golf range as well.

I think you all know where I'm going here . . . . Kevin? :hyper:

[wildeoscar]

fantasia fairways is the course I am thinking of, and it is over near the Dolphin... hm, sounds like I know where the pre podcast cruise putter golf meet will be.

Me: Hello Boss, I need a new computer monitor.

Boss: Why?

Me: I just spewed water on it over the image of Kevin in a halter and it shorted out.

Boss: Who's Kevin?

Me: My DIS friend.

Boss: Kathy, we do have an Employee Assistance program available....

We don't do this in Ohio anymore! http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070710/NEWS09/70710002&SearchID=73286885210172

Two totally different things Oscar. Come on, get your cross dressing right! :lmao:

<--worked at the palm/magnolia golf course...I understand!

Which btw, if you wanted to set this up, I'm sure you're all resourceful enough to set it up, but if you need direction, I know the managers at the course and can hook you up with them :cool1:

<sigh>

:sad2:

There is TOTALLY a difference between a halter top and a tube top.

Halters come untied, and tube tops just slip down.

That's a very funny story, NWOhioAngela. Good to know that so many people are working so diligently to keep our golf courses safe from strippers! :thumbsup2

I'm totally cracking up.

:happytv: Anyone remember the episode of the Price Is Right where the woman "comes on down" and she is jumping and screaming and so excited to be in contestant row. The whole time her tube top is around her belly button.:rotfl2: ::yes:: :rotfl2:

[wildeoscar]

ok so a halter top and a tube top are not the same... i had no clue.

[sconnell]

Ok, so my DH wouldn't come to the live recording, but I might get him to do this! Then I could mingle!

[GRUMPY0711]

I am in. If you are shy of golfers, I can rustle up some golfers that would love to throw their money towards the cause. A very good cause it is. Lets do it!

I'm trying to imagine the beverage girls coming around the course at Fantasia Gardens :rotfl: :rotfl2:

DH & I would prefer Magnolia (or any of the real courses) but we're up for pretty much anything. Except maybe Kevin in a Halter or Tube top :lmao:

So when should we do this?

I'm in Cleveland...but I think I remember this story. Couldn't you see the strippers from the street? Like you are just walking by the golf course and BAM there are some strippers walking around the 9th green? Unbelievable.

[mla973]

I'm up for anything (real golf, mini golf) if we're planning to be in Orlando at the time of the event.

John,
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

DH and I would be up for it! As long as we could get down to the World at that particular time. We aren't very good golfers, but we do like to try...:duck:

It would be for a great cause!

[just_steve]

I live in Melbourne, FL and am always looking for good golf ideas. A Bawb golf tournament would be a wonderful idea. I am new to the boards but have been listening to the podcast for over a year now. I had planned on asking Bob to play a round of golf at the podcast meet last month. Unfortunately, life got in the way. :( Now I would like to play for a good cause in Bob's name in a tournament that he would have loved. I am up for anything, whether it's mini, putting, or regular.

BTW. Kevin, thanks for the board name. You gave me the idea at the podcast meet last month.

[NCDisneyCamper]

I am in for a fun day!

[MaryKatesMom]

My DH would love an excuse to play golf while in WDW. If we're in town I'm sure I could convince him he "needed" to play.

[Disney_Mama]

Maybe for a good golf tournament like "Bawb Golf" I just might be able to also convince my DH for an extra trip down. :thumbsup2 Best ball tournaments are a blast. Chance to meet the Pod Cast Team, Diser's and a good day of golf at Disney. :worship:

[wishspirit]

I know i have a halter top around here somewhere *rumages*

I however do not own a tube top, thats just not my style!! :rotfl:

I would be a drink girl, but i'd have to be 21 i guess! Strange American drinking laws!

[mouseaddicts]

Me: Hello Boss, I need a new computer monitor.

Boss: Why?

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
(whew) Thank goodness I am working from HOME today!!! :thumbsup2


Okay - we too would be in for a Bawb Golf Tournament. I know DH would LOVE the idea!
Who is organizing this event???
Where do we sign up???
:confused3

[DisneyKevin]

Okay....

I started out professing a strong dislike for golf.

I softened and agreed to attend as long as I wasn't required to participate.

And now I'm serving cocktails to Kab407 dressed like a Pussycat Doll at Fantasia Gardens?

I think I feel something communicable coming on....<cough...cough>

[farmergirl]

:lmao: Oh Kevin you are so funny...lol :rotfl2: ... Should this be a go .....I vote for the first week in November myself....::yes:: Oh my husband votes for then too :)

[just_steve]

November works for me, too!!!!:hyper:

[farmergirl]

Oh it really would be so much fun!!!!!!:yay:
