Golfing...

I've finally decided it's time to get back into the swing again, that is golf.

Being a status symbol to all-nighters via design projects, this semester shows a little more smoothness as far as architectural projects go. If you've noticed, I've been a little more MIA, so-to-speak, in the partying world lately, meaning I haven't been to too many gigs these past couple of months. The reason is my health. A visit to the doctor about 3 weeks ago literally scared the shits out of my pants and now it's time to get into the groove again...."groove" meaning gym, sports, and more than ever, a decrease in fatty foods. High cholesterol plays a MAJOR in my family; unfortunately I'm one of those whose blood cells LOVE cholesterol. Not that I'm overweight or anything. High cholesterol doesn't necessarily mean you "have to be fat" for it to be high. It just means your body (or in my case, my genes, like mom and dads) can procure a little more cholesterol than the normal human being. Long story short, fast food restaurants are out of the question. That means eating a granola bar at midnight at the college of architecture is a much better route to take than waiting until 5:00am for "Brother's Taco House" to open up.

I'm looking at getting back into the exercising-realm again, and this time for good. I know for a fact that Cory is a big golfer and I'm looking forward to playing with him soon. As far as the Houston scene goes, I sorta know where most golf courses are here in Houston and which ones I need to stay away from.

The question is, as far as Dallas, San Antonio and Austin go, does anyone know of any decent golf courses in that particular area that you think is "decent" enough to play on? Which courses should I stay away from? I'm looking at maybe spending between $20 and $60 for the 18 holes. I'll be driving to/fro Dallas and Austin especially, due to AIA (American Institute of Architects) events, promotions, software promotions, and design contests associated with my school. We have the option of leaving Friday, attending the event on Saturday, and returning Sunday, so why not spend a Sunday morning playing golf?

Any links or lists will be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of a small tournament in the area that you may be attending, let me know. I would love to play with some of you guys.

When you come to Dallas, let me know and I will set up some golf excursions. There are plenty of good courses here that are around 50 bucks. Bear Creek, Indian Creek, Trails of Frisco, Riverchase, etc.

Lemme know.

I beat Cory at a game of golf. True story.

i shot a 95 last week (with 2 mulligans), but i know some good courses that are 20 bucks after five. the catch is you cant finish cuz its getting darker. my average i pay is about thirty to sixty like jonas said. indian creek is a nice course.... there are shitloads of places to play...it would be nice to get together and play when you come into town. im sure jonas big ass will crush us on the tee, but i bet he sucks on his short game...not sure if you have my number still,but i dont have urs cuz of lost phones. lets get together and play.... bring cory with you so i can get a free lesson!

Deal man. I've heard of Riverchase.... actually from you I think. I'd love to check that out. The price sounds perfect. I really don't mind anything higher. I've just been a victim of high green fees and courses that look like BFI waste management trash fields.

Most def bro. I'm debating going to Ennis for the O'Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals in like two weekends, all because of my beloved architectural projects at school. If I actually have time to go, I might just go to the saturday races and call you guys up for some golf on Sunday. That's not a confirmation though, but if not that weekend, then definitely some other time. I still have your number.

And, FYI....Cory shot a 310 on a game of putt-putt golf about 2 weeks ago.

Riverchase is good. I actually won a tournament out there about five weeks ago. For just a little more, there are some great Pete Dye and Fazio courses in Dallas that will each your lunch.

I have became really picky in where i play and typically like to play private courses. I can play on most private courses with out a problem but some of them require you to play with the head pro there if your not a member so we stay away from those. There are some public courses that are OK but the crowd that goes through public courses are not kind people to a golf course. use your imagination on that one. As far as Austin i don't know of any good public courses that are any good. they do have some really nice private courses up there though. so if im up there we can play one of them.

I rarely play now. I've got weekends off, though, so, carlos or anybody else, if you want to play, let me know. we'll set something up.

Consistency's never been my strong suit.
