When I was in college it was Wiedemann's. Cheap and not half bad.


Now when we wanted to go really cheap, we made harry buffalo's. We would "borrow" pure grain alcohol from the chem lab and mix it with kool-aid.
We did that also. I had a friend that was a chem major and he would make up some pure grain alcohol that tested around 190 proof. He lit a shot glass of it one day and I thought it was going to burn the place down. And then we started drinking it. Looking back at that, I wonder how we all survived.

Coors skunks if you don't keep it refrigerated from birth to death, and you frequently see it stacked up outside of the refrigerator these days.
When I came back to Ohio from San Antonio, it was requested that I bring some Coors back with me as you could not buy it in Ohio at the time. 

I had a 1971 Chevy Impala that had a very large trunk. We lined it with plastic and then put about 10 cases of Coors in the trunk and filled it with ice. At every gas stop along the way home, we fill the tank with gas and the trunk with more ice. 

After I got back to Ohio, a friend hosted a hog roast. We put the Coors in a big trough with ice. As people showed up, they brought other beers with them and put them in the trough. I drank a lot of beer that night other than Coors.

Much of that lab alcohol is denatured with exlax.  If you add base, it turns pink.

The 190 proof is the most you can get from normal distillation.

The 200 pure stuff requires special steps, like adding benzene.  It is very hygroscopic too.

I'm just echoing what he claimed, he was the chem major. All I know is that it burnt almost like gasoline. And then we were dumb enough to drink it in a "harry buffalo" party.

They still sell that 190 proof stuff. Early in my freshman year my roommate had a bottle which I sampled. Led to me making a low-end scene at a hockey game (someone had non-student tickets. My wording was not ideal with the children around).

Another friend suggested a drinking game with it called Russian roulette. Six people, five shots of vodka, one shot of, well...

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

What is a Par 29? That’s an unusual number. Is that seven Par 3s and two par 4s?
That's it exactly. Even the par 4s are only 210 and 270 yards. Short holes but you're usually hitting into tiny greens, so there is at least some challenge there. 
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.
That's what I was worried about first time I went, but actually made it around 9 holes in a little over 90 minutes. I was pretty surprised. I was matched up with a guy who was pretty good. He shot a 30 and I shot a 34.

along with the muni course I play, 

7,085 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 74 and it has a slope rating of 123.

the city also operates a sister course that I can play when the big course is closed for a tournament or an outing.

18-hole Floyd Park course provides a great golf option for all golfer levels. The course features 4,067 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 63, and features hilly terrain, some water hazards, and mature trees. The course rating is 62.2 and it has a slope rating of 103.

Where we're playing tomorrow is about 1400 yards on the front and 2000 on the back. Good day to work on iron play. 

What I don't like about that course is that the tees are hitting off range mats. Only course I've ever been on like that. Even my crappy par 29 has grass tees.

short irons and wedges on the front

mats would be low maintenance, but I'd hate them

the 4,000 yard course here has one par 5 on each side

We call those chip and putt courses

great place to practice your short game

Should be a lot easier to find considering Four Peaks is owned by AB/Inbev.
Yeah, I was worried when they sold out, but so far the quality has remained and I have found it outside the phoenix area on occasion but still not very often.
