Espola's newest neighborhood

I see the old Newest Neighborhood thread is still here, right in the neighborhood where it was created.

My latest golf-debris project is collecting brightly-colored bits of broken tees to display in a glass jar. Most of the ones I see are white or natural wood color, so I am only picking up a few of those as background.
 
So apparently the spammers are still getting in, they just have slowed down a bit. Has Trump purposely left the back door open for intruders to blunder America in exchange for his credibility? His financial well being? Maybe even the life of himself and his family? . . . I mean with Trump just threatening to expose photos of his bald spot would be enough to make him cave in and give away America.

I only use wooden tees and when broken I reuse the shortened tee for iron or hybrids off the tee. As I said before, errant ("lost") golf balls, broken tees and any other foreign objects in the grass that the mowers may run over aren't good for the blades. So pick up the plastic tees as well and throw them away . . . or maybe you could start a plastic tee pyramid?

Most tees are made from wood in the well-known tee shape, painted white, and of a variety of lengths. Some of them, however, look like jr-high woodshop projects. I have also seen ads for metal tees, but I have not found any - perhaps they are too valuable to actually use (o topo valuable to leave behind). Some tees are promoted as having the least drag on the ball or words to that effect. I was never a good enough golfer that that would have made any difference. I have a theory that some tees are made to break when used, thus increasing their sales.

They were once made with sand by using a small mold. A metal tee would scratch the club face, never heard of them . . . and the "low-drag" usually "feather tees" remind me of a John Daly story. Big John was playing in a pro-am and one of the amateurs asked him for a tip on how to hit the ball farther. Daly told the guy that when teeing up his ball he needed to lean the tee as far forward towards the target as he could without the ball falling off the tee. In amazement the amateur asked how much more distance would he gain by using that technique, to which Daly replied, "About an inch".

So, you've expanded your felonious thieft scheme to an even more criminal enterprise that now raises RICO implications. The destruction of stolen property, and by handling these "tees" to tear off just the portion you desire to steal, you litter golf courses with the vestiges of once proud fully intact tees that golfers never purposefully leave behind tee boxes and thus are never lost or abandoned property. " THIEF ! "

Apart from the simple and perfect design of the traditional Victor rat trap that is composed of a simple flat piece of wood, and wires to form the snap and spring, and my electrocution trap that makes disposal via a chuck of the dead rat out to the open land behind our home, versus the gory unsnaring of the carcass, the unpainted golf tee generally "free" at the starter's window is perfect.

Long tees are for old men and their Gargantuan Bertha's, otherwise you simply find broken tees near tee boxes on par 3s where you don't want a regular tee three inches into the ground affecting your ability to get under the ball with your nine iron, so as little tee resistance as possible.

As I think about it. This might be a crime of yours against golfing humanity. We want those broken tees at par 3s, goldarmit! And we don't want to forage ahead of time on earlier par 4s and 5s for these short broken tees when we get to the par 3s.

We're golfers. We're either titans of industry, and such distractions go against our ability to negotiate business deals, or we're lawyers, busy trying to get the best plea bargains possible with the prosecutor we're paired with.

Or we're double murderers searching for the real killers hiding in the rough stealing golf balls. Or we're honoring our campaign promises to practically never leave the White House and dare say, play golf, when the carnage of America needs our undivided attention.
 
Any pair of blue tinted sunglasses collected in your felonious journeys? I misplaced my Dr. Strangelove sunglasses. Can't find them anywhere.

I saw a pair of sunglasses in the Home Depot parking lot the other day. Unfortunately, they had been crushed to bits by traffic. I didn't notice if they were blue-tinted.
 
The better half had a Modelo Especial in the bottle with dinner last night and said she loved it . . . and no she isn't Hispanic, but the dinner was (at least loosely based on Hispanic recipes).
