Once while my car was parked in the lot at Richter Park and the other time as I was en route to my Dads house in Greenwich. That ball apparently soared over the netting that surrounds Gaynor Brennen Golf Course in Stamford. It smashed into the windshield as I was driving by, and shattered half of it. <br /><br />The experience was quite scary/ traumatic/disconcerting... but the worst part was when I showed my husband the damage, expecting a bit of sympathy, all he had to say was, <i>"I thought you were going to your Dads house... what were you doing hanging around at the golf course?"</i> (>_<)Patricia Hanniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13221547585113488764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-50254773503627238862011-10-11T17:19:26.428-04:002011-10-11T17:19:26.428-04:00The ‘punk golf’ video was filmed by MTV & Golf...The ‘punk golf’ video was filmed by MTV & Golf Refugees. If you look in Europe there is a very vibrant ‘street’ golf movement. <br /><br />MTV featured the video on their sports programme called ‘balls’ hosted by rap star ‘Coolio’.<br /><br />Here in London we had the Shoreditch Open, played through the streets of east London, with the permission of the local council and using ‘soft’ golf balls.<br /><br />I would argue it was a ‘greener’ event than the British Open. With little course preparation required and most competitors and spectators arriving by public transport No need to paint the concrete green or spray tonnes of chemicals all over the fairways.<br /><br />No dress codes apart from ‘dress up’. No quiet please boards. Just lots of fun for everyone.THE GOLF REFUGEES WEBLOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066000048905545278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-16449669500900841062011-10-11T13:48:51.919-04:002011-10-11T13:48:51.919-04:00.
