Elmira and the Hip
#1

Those in the K-Dub region may have seen a big photo of Downie and Sinclair all suited up for golf as they attended the Dan Snyder Memorial Golf Tournament on monday.

It's a cool photo and shows Gordie with painted blue toenails...

Heres the pic:

Also, I was golfing on this course two days earlier.... :thumb:

It looks like Sinclair is Downie's caddy for the tourney. I wonder if he will tip nicely :lol:

I love how he doesn't conform to what or how a golfer is "supposed" to dress like on a course........sometimes a think he's got that Morrison vibe going on, just something reminds me of Jim when i look at that pic above, maybe that fuck you attitude,, I'm gonna do and dress and think what i want, whatever....and no offense to Sinclair at all, to each their own i guess is the moral of the story......very early still, need more caffeine Confusedcratch:

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

It appears Sinclair plays golf lefty, bass righty? hmmm.

You might not know, but I run a golf course and this is a great picture for many reasons. Gord's attire is deff not in the dress code while Sinclair looks like every hacker that comes through our door. I think I will post this at the desk as a reminder to the staff.... On the left BAD...on the right GOOD. At least gord has a shirt with a collar. Also, it is virtually impossible to play golf in flip flops...

When the boys played Sugarbush here in VT they had a tee time on our course (16 players) they asked me to keep it hush hush. I brought in all my cd's hoping they'd sign them. Well, they never showed up. That night I went to the concert and because of the bus fiasco, I never got in. It was a very depressing day...took solice in a gallon of home brew if I recall...

In Canada approxiamtely 30% of golfers play left handed, despite the majority of them being right handed. (I'm right handed, and play golf lefty.)

There are many theories about this, but most come down to the hockey influence: a young person in Canada usually learns to play hockey before golf, and the split from lefty to righty in hockey favours lefty. Adopting a hockey shot to a golf swing is a natural progression (proper form aside).

Wow, 30% that's crazy. I play hockey lefty, but cannot make contact with a golf ball lefty...and I'm a 3 handicap.

Does gord even play golf? I know Sinclair and Paul are addicted to the game.

I still can't figure out which way I play golf. Because I shoot left in hockey, that kinda feels right. But I bat right in baseball, so that kinda feels right. Regardless, I suck large no matter what way I play.

Can someone explain the point of proper golf attire to me?

I think that they were/are all members at Cataraqui G&CC in Kingston.

Gord and Paul were featured in Ontario Golf Magazine and talked about who plays, how they play, where, etc...

Judging by that picture I'd have to say that Gord wasn't playing, unless he was planning on changing into proper golf attire, it wouldn't be comfortable playing in what he is wearing.

I'm thinking Downie drove Sinclair's cart all day. Drunk off of Heineken, he wrote down 3 new songs for the Hip's forthcoming CD, appropriately titled, "A day at the course" ....Woooooo

To quote the Cataraqui's Dress Code Policy...

Quote:"Dress Code

The Dress Code regulations are intended to maintain the standard of dress traditionally expected at Cataraqui Golf and Country Club. They also recognize current social trends in dress. The attire of members and guests on all occasions and in all locations must be in good taste. The Board of Directors trusts that members and guests will adhere to the Dress Code and uphold the spirit of its regulations.
Golf Course and Practice Areas

Male Attire:

* Dress slacks or golf slacks
* Dress golf sweater/jacket
* Dress shorts (maximum 6" above the knee)
* Golf shirt with collar
* Shoes and socks or sockettes; (Golf sandals may be worn with or without socks or sockettes)

Female Attire:

* Dress slacks, golf slacks, culottes or golf skirt
* Dress golf sweater/jacket
* Dress shorts (maximum 6" above the knee)
* Tailored blouse or golf shirt with a collar or sleeves
* Shoes and socks or sockettes; (Golf sandals may be worn with or without socks or sockettes)

All members and guest must wear "soft" spikes on the Golf Course – No Exceptions!
In the Clubhouse

Attire appropriate for a curling, golfing or social event is acceptable. Male members and guests are not permitted to wear headgear on the upper level. "Soft" spiked shoes may be worn in the locker rooms, Golf Lounge, and the west corridor by the drinking fountain. For safety reasons, golfers are requested not to wear spiked shoes in the washrooms. Members and guests disregarding this ruling do so at their own risk.
In the Dining Room - Business Casual

Male Attire:

* Dress or casual slacks (no jeans)
* Dress or casual shirt, golf shirt, collared sweater or turtleneck
* No headgear

Female Attire:

* A dress or skirt, dress or casual slacks (no jeans)
* Dress shorts or culottes
* Blouse or golf shirt (no tank tops or halter tops)"

Now that is a dress code policy. Pretty liberal if you ask me (ya right) I think Gords shorts quantify as dress shorts right? They deff qualify as "current social trends"...anything Gordo does has to be trendy, ipso facto if ya ask me.

ps. I gotta get me some culottes
