Opening Conestoga Golf Club in Mesquite

Posted on November 17, 2009 by hydle

Today Tom Ericson and I opened a new course in Mesquite, Nevada.

Conestoga Golf Club, a Troon Golf course is nestled deep into the desert beauty of Mesquite, Nevada. Located inside the Del Web retirement community called Sun City Mesquite … one may think this golf course may play easier then most due to the -um demographics… but Conestoga is in no way a retirement caliber course.

The 7200+ yard course rates a 74.9 and slopes in at 147 from the backs … needless to say – it kicked my ass. Here are some photos for your enjoyment.

Fastest Ball in Sport

Last night I was having a beer with Jason Zuback and our conversation hit the topic of what is the fastest ball in sport? Golf or Hi Li?

Luckily he had the answer.

Hit the range at Casablanca.

Drank some CLLs (Coors Light Limes)

Bud Light Lime: Can Confessions

Posted on September 15, 2009 by hydle

Intriguing and simple – yes.
Genius – still wagering.

Although it does help to end this commercial with a bring it all back to the bud light brand golf shot… shot.

Shot by shot – the “we need a web clip that covers all demographics” breakdown.

1) Hot female (blond)
2) Intriguingly old not hot female
3) Gay guy
4) Black athlete
5) Bad for poster frame oriental
6) Trademark bartender
7) Hot female (brunette)
8) Hot female (college student)
9) Humor professional
10) Golf guy

Not bad for such a chill vibed 45 second web advertisement.
Way better then Limey.

Long Drive Regionals

Posted on August 23, 2009 by hydle

I went savaging today… unfortunately I came up short.

Hitting golf balls at 9:00 in the morning in 100% humidity isn’t really my style. Coors Lab doesn’t even open until 10:30. So it was hard to get in the groove early – Especially in Phoenix.

Thanks to everyone who supported me through this short 2 week endeavor. I believe that if I have a future in Long Drive, I will have to find some sponsors… and a way around not being able to drink in competition.

Savage in the middle.

Quick easy travel day. Nearly missed our 9:45pm flight because we were drinking at the bar … but Craig Warde and I made it and the Savage is ready.
