River Ridge Golf Club - West Houston, Katy Texas

Hmmm... from Trey Birchum:

River Ridge Understands

Have come to the realization that PGA Pros have a certain skill set that most normal humans don’t possess. The following is a list of what we’re really good at versus the general public:

1. Remote controls- give any golf pro a remote and a TV and we’ll handle it. The remote doesn’t even have to match the TV. Through our special MacGyver golf professional training, we can reprogram, wire and solder if necessary. It only works on remotes; don’t bring your computers or stereos up here. Remotes only. Can’t explain it; it’s just how it works.

2. Smarting off. We’e just better at it than you are. Trust me on that one. See Exhibit A, idiot River Ridge golf pro. Enough said, your honor.

3. The Simpsons. With the exception of Travis Rogers, no one on earth can relate every day life to a Simpsons episode as good as a golf professional. Why? Because it comes on at 6:00 or 7:30 PM. While you’re playing, working, cooking, playing with the kids, you know, normal stuff, we’re in the pro shop. Watching TV. And guess what we’re watching? Yeah, I know what we’re supposed to be watching. But everyone knows better…

4. Shoes. We can save them, or destroy them, your choice. Because we’re on our feet most of the day, golf professionals tend to develop foot fetish issues. Some of us (not mentioning any names) have more shoes than our wives. Or Imelda Marcos. Want to know if a style of shoe is any good? Ask any random golf professional; we’ll know.

So, in summation: Wear your coolest shoes with your remote in your back pocket, come to the River Ridge pro shop so we can smart off and tell you that you look like Krusty the Klown. Try that at another course and see what kind of reception you get. River Ridge. We understand.

Fairways, greens and one putts.....
