Do they provide free beer?  If so, I say, go for it!
Uhh, if they did, I'd have signed up a long time ago!

Going with some homebrew club buddies to play 18 on Saturday. Crappy course, but it's only $28/round on the weekend which ain't bad for SoCal. And I suspect they're even worse duffers than me, so it'll probably be a boondoggle.

Trying to decide whether I should "join" my local. It's ~$38/mo and gets me a full bucket at the range every day, and reduces the greens fees for 9 holes on an also pretty crappy par 29 course from $18 to $6. I do need the range time, so I'm really thinking about it.
do it

those little par 29 courses are great for sharpening your game

I ask because, free beer is absolutely the ONLY way I'd ever agree to anything golf-related.

Even Top Golf-- I'll go there with work peeps when the vendor is paying for all the drinks.  Everyone is so pleased when I give up my turn actually hitting the balls.  I'm pleased too, gives me more time to drink the free hooch.

Grain Belt was always the most insanely cheap beer we could buy, but we very rarely did.

When we bought half barrels, it was almost always Busch Light Draft, affordable and drinkable; $33/barrel at Riley's.

Halloween (actually 10/30) 1993, after Wisconsin beat Michigan, we went through the first barrel in like 15 minutes. It was going so quickly that we basically never shut the tap off (kegerator, not hand pump). I'm trying to remember what we bought 12 packs and cases of, but I honestly don't.

We drank Mickeys when we were drinking malt liquor, then my officer basic course roommate had me try OE and one other, but OE was the one that he and I drank when he was "educating me" on Friday, Glory, and some other movies I don't remember (but I do remember those).

I think we drank a lot of Miller Genuine Draft, which was stupid. I remember we went through a Red Dog craze, like everyone else at the time. 

To this day I really like Miller High Life and PBR when I'm in the mood for the cheap stuff.

Do it!   Use the bucket most days to work on chipping. Your scores will come way down

Had an old persimmon driver in my bag that I've had for years, but never hit. Pitched it a few weeks ago when I decided to clean out the bag.

Ugh. No NFL Network so I can't watch the game, and no CFB on tonight. That's... annoying.

I like to get my beer at the local Indian Rez because they don't charge sales tax. The last time I was in there, I noticed that they sell a lot of ultra right wing stuff. So now I am trying to figure out if they are actually into that sorta thing, or if they have simply decided to corner that market because they are the only place in town that can sell that stuff without being branded racist.

I can definitely see them being into the whole second amendment thing because they have been disarmed by the govt before, and it didn't work out too well for them. But the Confederate stuff is a little unexpected. It used to be popular regionally because of the whole "Dixie" thing, but it kind of fell out of favor for the most part by the 1990s.
There are few things as sweet as happily parting people you don't like from their money.

You gotta hit those babies just right for the ball to go anywhere. I worked in the pro shop of a CC when I was in college and the pro had an old persimmon 5 wood he kept on display trying to sell it.  We were dead one day so I snuck it on the driving range and hit a few balls.  Didn’t really hit one good shot with it.

What is a Par 29? That’s an unusual number. Is that seven Par 3s and two par 4s?

Btw, our cheap go to beer in college was Natty Light.

sounds like one of those 'executive courses' usually in the Par 27-33 range,  pretty much no hole longer than 350, no Par 5s.  the executive can get around the loop in a couple hours if 18 holes (Par 50s-low 60s).    of course (my experience) what ends up happening is you see every 47 handicapper there with a pull cart, lots of pink golf balls and 4 1/2 hour rounds, and you pretty much need to wear a helmet with the errand tee shots and tight routing.   I hate those courses.
