Boozer's Golf Review Vol. 11 - Temple Terrace

Apologies for the late post, but even the best boozers among us need to take naps (some may call it going to bed) after a weekend involving 2 rounds of pretty serious booze golf. As our dear leader has already pointed out, the second of those rounds, Temple Terrace, was not my finest showing. Enough of me feeling sorry for myself, let's instead take a moment to step back and celebrate the fact that the BGR has held itself together long enough for our first ever second review of a course. 

You can't drink all day if you start in the morning

True to form Temple Terrace has still, somehow, remained a private club and will allow you to purchase booze at your earliest convenience. While taking a moment to fill up with water, I was asked by the cart girl in the clubhouse if there was any particular beer she should make sure to stock. I looked at her blankly, apparently she was not aware that the BGR has a clear preference, and after regaining my composure simply responded with Budweiser. We had no need to stock the carts at tee time as one of the fine guests joining DPT for the week brought a 12 pack to kick start the round.

On course service

I was proud to see that our foursome was all boozing and happily ordered a sixer of Bud heavy on the cart girls second pass. The service and mode of transportation was much improved over last year's incognito beverage flatbed, but sadly the request from the clubhouse seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. I walked away with 5 Buds and 1 Coors Light. I have never been known for my tact, but politely requested she stock up for the next pass. Sadly though there were no more red bow ties seen on the links that day.

Thrifty boozing

I'm sure Chandler can link the last TTCC review to this post allowing you to review the very reasonable prices this course has to offer. We had another 5 pitchers purchased this week. If $8.95 for domestics held (I forgot to look), then this was the cheapest really crappy golf week yet. 

This league can get through some pitchers

I will go ahead and give a shout out to Gorecki for his very smooth thrifty boozer move of the week. While he may have his short comings he does know how to score some free booze. Previous examples include hitting up his connections at Tampa Bay Brewing Company and swiping a bottle of Triple Sec from the drink tent at Bay Hill a couple of years ago. On this particular afternoon he simply floated the idea of doing another shot review, and I happily obliged by ordering two of that new liquor the kids really like, Fireball. He knows his boozers, but at $6 per shot I will suggest that Temple Terrace might get knocked down a notch as this seems expensive to my eye.

The Clubhouse

All good boozers know that the key to successful boozing is having a good base of food in your stomach before, during and after a booze session. Temple Terrace's Cajun Chicken Sandwich will provide you all the bread and sweet potato fries a growing boozer needs, but if you are counting on some protein to help offset the negative affects of our favorite pastime, then you will be left sadly hungover.

Is that a Cajun Pigeon Sandwich

Overall

Last year Temple Terrace scored a 3.5 out of 5. After this there was some discussion among the BGR board of sticking to only full beer ratings (clearly we don't leave wounded soldiers on the battlefield). I will go ahead and follow this rule and knock the rating down to 3 out of a possible 6. The first rule of customer service is to always under promise and over deliver. It is generally frowned upon for a course not to have a well stocked Bud heavy supply, but the fast one that was pulled on me is practically heresy. 

I'm not sure I'm allowed to remove the stock photo caption.
