#1 golfer

Out on the back patio and up rolls a couple carts looking hard for a ball. Someone's pointing at me... Oh, hey! Hi Pat! (#1 on the Colts, you know, the golfer, er, kicker/punter...) Had a brief chat - "here's you ball, guy. Yeah, I know. We always think we hit it farther..." Off they go. I'd heard he was a member, first time I'd seen him on the course.

This conversation was had right where Crav, Magic, and I stood, out back.

OK I'm buying a house on your street

Yeah I will never forget that day.......man your back yard was just like a fairway .....wish my grass looked like that

I'll I have is weeds, I disconnected the sprinkler system, ain't having that water bill for the sake of green grass.

That nice looking front yard is all weeds???

It has to be easy to mow the flattest lawn I have ever seen

But yeah it raises the hell outta my light bill if I run the sprinkler just running the well pump.

I even try to siphon water out of the pond with a garden hose to water in front of the house and hell I never water all the 3 acres of lawn.........since it has 75% weeds too

I pretty much gave up on the putting green after about 20 years........rather win a lottery so I can have a 2 lane bowling alley built here at home .....and I will even have those duck pins for ya Johnny (no not my mallards)

I have to admit, my yard is standing tall. Looks as good as it has in the 11 years we've been here. Had it slit seeded last year. Came in great this year.
Back yard is just fantastic on its own. No reseeding needed there. So thick that if I cut a half inch, its clumping up and I have to give it the double cut. Takes time, but it sure looks good after…

My postage stamp sized yard posses no real effort, though. I love cutting, pruning, etc.

my front looks decent but that's where the septic system is

out back could use a landscaper

Beer in hand while sitting in the screened-in porch, I watch the contracted lawn guys mow every Monday, front and back.

 it would take several landscapers to take care of my place .......and I don't think anyone would do it for free......or would I even allow strangers past the gate

I see a day in the distant future where I look out the windows and see 5 foot tall grass......but I will still figure out how to feed the hummingbirds (adding a new feeder today) ......I have a can of RockStar in my hand

I did that last year, and as soon as Terri was done cutting out back, she looked at me and said"go buy your riding mower"

20 teaspoons of sugar and shit I can't pronounce on the can..Be careful with that.

Ah only one a day for me instead of coffee

When I first saw that 31 grams of sugar I looked at a typical can of Root Beer and it says 45 grams!!!

So I use that when the wife says RockStar has too much
