Thunderbird Club

Since living here (15 months), I've gathered about 45 golf balls, most way off course and a few in our yard. About half of the balls were there when we moved in, so I don't get that many that close to the house in a years time. But some of these guys need to practice aiming or just stick to putt-putt. Either can't golf or drink. I"m sure it's not easy, but if they have no control, don't act like Hank Aaron when hitting the ball. One ball landed about <15 ft from my wife once when she was at the side of the house. I told her if it ever happens again, to scream and fall down even if she wasn't hit just to freak them out.

The tee is is little right of the left the deck post and the hole is to the right of the post on the right about 100+ft from the house on the other side of the tall grass. I've thought about hanging a sheet with a huge arrow pointing to the right (looking from the house) that says "Hole over there.":laugh:

I’ve been hit by a hard-hit baseball. Physics says a golf ball can be much worse.

No Thunderbirds (alas) but still some really cool reminiscing about Larry Knechtel from his son, Lonnie, right here on TalkBass. On stage with Howling Wolf ad the Stones! Karen Carpenter. Simon & Garfunkel. Bread. Rick Rubin sessions. And on and on and on. Wrecking Crew member. I think Lonnie wins a Seriously Cool Dad award.
