Update to Memorial Review
I want to update my initial review on Memorial Golf Course. I guess the first time I went there I didnt realize they had two putting greens for practice. One is a joke (the one i was referring to in the original post) and then they have another one next to the 1st tee-box. Well I missed this green last time because the first time I ever played the course we tee'd off the back 9 first...so when making the turn I wasnt looking around so I didnt see the green over there.
Also...they have a short game practice area as well (next to the better putting green). This is a great place to practice your chipping/pitching and also sand shots. They keep a lot of range balls lying around so its quite easy to get a short game practice in.
In fact, I would even recommend just heading over there for a short game session if you didnt feel like hitting balls (off matts). It would also cost you nothing, and you would be practicing the most important part of the game!

Only A Golfer Would Understand...
It was a sunny morning, a little before 8:00 AM, on the first hole of a busy course, and I was beginning my pre-shot routine, visualizing my upcoming shot when a piercing voice came over the clubhouse loudspeaker:
"Would the gentleman on the women's tee please back up to the men's tee, please?"
I could feel every eye on the course looking at me. I was still deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption.
Again the announcement: "Would the man on the women's tee please back up to the men's tee, please!"
I simply ignored the guy and kept concentrating, when once more the man yelled, "Would the man on the women's tee please back up to the men's tee, please!"
I finally stopped, turned, cupped my hands and shouted back....
"Would the ass hole with the microphone kindly keep quiet and let me play my second shot?!"

Joke of the Day
A guy out on the golf course takes a high speed ball right
in the crotch. Writhing in agony, he falls to the ground.
When he finally gets himself to the doctor, he says "How
bad is it doc? I'm going on my honeymoon next week and my
fiancee is still a virgin in every way."
The doc said, "I'll have to put your penis in a splint to
let it heal and keep it straight. It should be okay next
week."
So the doc takes four tongue depressors and formed a neat
little 4-sided bandage, and wired it all together; an
impressive work of art.
The guy mentions none of this to his girl, marries, and
on his honeymoon night in the motel room, she rips open
her blouse to reveal a gorgeous set of breasts.
This was the first time he saw them.
She says, "You'll be the first, no one has ever touched
these breasts."
He whips down his pants and says, "Look at this, it's
still in the CRATE!"

Vail Golf Club, Vail, CO
Vail Golf Club is located in Vail, CO right along side of Interstate 70. Which brings me to my problem.
This course is squeezed between the mountains and the interstate. It plays 9-holes out...then you turn around and play 9-holes back to the club house. Its almost like one big lap. And for a mountain course, it is pretty flat (again, because its squeezed against the interstate and the foot of the mountains).
Now dont get me wrong, the course itself is fine. But honestly, whoever built this had very little room to work with and just managed to get the course in there. This definitely doesnt play like a muontain course you would expect with rolling hills, big elevation changes, etc. Also, it plays pretty short from the tips. Which is pretty normal considering it is in the mountains and real estate is at a minimal to make a course.
All in all...if you are in vail and looking to play golf, I would say go for it. Just dont expect to think you played an awesome course (Park City's was much better. This is generic at best.

Joke of the Day
There's a fellow who is a golf fanatic.
Every Saturday morning he has an early tee time.
He gets up early and eager, golfs all day long, 36 holes sometimes.
Well, one Saturday morning he gets up early, dresses quietly, gets his clubs out of the closet and goes to his car to drive to the course.
Coming out of his garage rain is pouring down; it is like a torrential downpour. There is snow mixed in with the rain, and the wind is blowing 50 mph.
He returns to the garage.
He comes back into the house and turns the TV to the weather channel. He finds it's going to be bad weather all day long, so he puts his clubs back into the closet, quietly undresses and slips back into bed.
There he cuddles up to his wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispers, "The weather out there is terrible."
To which she sleepily replies, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out golfing in that shit?"
