I can't believe no one has mentioned Pueblo city park!  A very well designed and challenging course.  It's one of my favorites.   

Some of locals who play there are impatient and don't have much for etiquette.   "They" think it's ok to throw at you while your putting the same hole.  Other than that, it's really cool.

Bueno Vista has a course with a ton of pinion trees.  Pagosa Springs.. same deal with 150 ft holes.

I've played several courses way up near timberline.  If you play any of those, have a spotter, because you will not find your disc.   Snowmass Village has a couple of interesting courses.  Take a gondola up to hole 1 and play 17 of 18 holes going straight down.

But, sadly, Joe is correct.  Cottonwood and Pueblo are ok, but you're better off going fishing and enjoying the mountains.  The excellent golfing is here in KC!

I just looked at the posted scores.   Nice shooting Dick (wisperer) Parker!  You too Fred Smith!  Not supprised by either.  Keep it up locals!  I'm hoping to see tatoo Steve and Tom Butler on top of the am masters come Sunday!

Pueblo is one of my favorite courses.  It's only 30 minutes from COSprings.  Gotta play this one!

One week later:  my arm is black and blue.  I did hit 92 free throws in a row, so I must be ok.  I wished I could put half as good as I shoot free throws.

I got hit squarely by a flying disc last night next to tee-pad #15.  Someone yelled "Fore!" just as it hit me.  Luckily it hit my upper arm and left a nice welt.  I was too dismayed to look at the name on the disc (I really don't want to know).

A few inches higher and it could have been a FREE TRACHEOTOMY!

A few feet lower and it could have been a FREE VASECTOMY!

Also, my pickup was struck nicely by my partner last night.

I am grateful to be intact today.

I've always thought a "breakfast beer"  would be a great idea.  "Oldham Breakfast Ale!"

Today is my birthday as well!  Tom, I thought you and Cindy had the same birthday, at the same hospital?  Do you both share my birthday?

Bill, I got ~ 4 lbs of fescue seed that's a couple years old.  Half might germinate.  I'll try to broadcast the seeds on hole 2 next week.  If you want it sooner, pm me.

If the name says Ken Hostetler, then it's Ken Hostetler's.

Steve.  As a tuba player (I was often told that I was pretty darn good), I wished that I knew you a little better.  Sorry to see you go.  You will find a good gig in NO.  Play on. Live on!

I first thought you were referencing an act of solicitation.  After more consideration, here's something that may help with the philosophy :

The Philosopher's Song (Monty Python)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY PISSED...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away;
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

Club Archives / Re: NEWEST SCHEDULE ?

I got another one.  Will the pools be assigned to the individuals soon?  Will we be able to know the exact pool we are in prior to 7/27?

I'm trying to schedule caddying, and my potential caddys have work schedules that need to be reconciled with the tee times.  Please don't make fun of us who desire caddy help.

Love, Ken
