Michael Jordan Is Building His Own Golf Course, Handpicking Members

Michael Jordan Is Building A Golf Course And Is Handpicking Who Can Be Members

Have you ever been out on the course and a little upset that the group in front of you was taking 800 practice swings before actually addressing the ball? Of course you have — and being stuck behind the shitty group makes you want to jam the handle of your putter into your eye socket. Wouldn’t it be great to have your own golf course so you wouldn’t have to deal with the riffraff and all that pace of play bullshit?

His Airness thinks it would. Reportedly fed up with the pace of play at his current club, The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Florida, Jordan will build his own course. He’s allegedly a fast player and has been known to get impatient on the basketball court and on the golf course. Instead of finding another club, Jordan thought, “Why don’t I just build my own?” When you have that kind of cash, why the hell wouldn’t you?

Jordan has secured an option on a piece of land in nearby Hobe Sound, south of The Medalist Club, where Tiger and Fowler are members. I’m sure he’s going to poach these two to become members at his course. He may not be able to coax free agents to Charlotte, but I bet he’d have no problem coaxing golfers to his course in Florida. Tom Doak is said to be the front-runner to design the course, and Michael Jordan will personally hand pick the members.

Building your own course and only allowing the people you like to join. TFM.

      If Jordan was behind me I would definitely let him play through. Especially if he was getting impatient.

    I hope he hand picks them better than he has hand picked the members of the Charlotte Bobcats.

    I feel like there are synonyms for the word “coax” that could have been used toward the end.

    Once played on the same course as Jordan. He owns a baby blue, gas powered cart with the Jordan logo on it and a huge tour bag with his number on it. He was playing whatever hole he felt like.
