(Part 2 of 3)
Alright, that’s it – enough of the lovey-dovey crap. Â This isn’t tee ball ladies and gentlemen, and not every player is a winner when it comes to Design-a-Hole. Â Where there’s up, there’s down; black, there’s white; and good – well – THERE’S BAD! Â MUUUUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
But don’t fret oh-dummies-of-design, the world loves bad! Â I’d go as far as to say we NEED bad. Â Without bad, good would be nothing! Â Think about it – a world of mediocrity where “The Godfather” and “Gigli” sit side-by-side on DVD shelves. Â Where the “Beatles” and “Michael Bolton” play back-to-back on “This Week’s Even-40 Chart.” Â Or one where Golden Tee World Champ Andy Haas and “Skipper Ripper” Horner are awarded participation ribbons in Prize Play. NOOOOO!!!!! Â (Ah, you know we love ya, Skip!)
You see, bad is good. Â Hell, even the dictionary goes as far to say that bad can be “outstandingly excellent.” Â You’re damn right it can be! Â So now you’re about to see what we deem as “bad” from the 2008 Design-a-Hole archive – but were they really? Â Naaaa… Â They’re more fun than they are bad (well, bad in this case meaning bad, bad not bad) and that’s why we love ‘em!
Time for you to take a look at these “best of the worst” selections and do so with a grain of salt, remembering  it’s hard to be so bad that you’re good.
Good times,

(Que Michael Jackson Outro) Â And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again, WHO’S BAD…

THE BAD
- This idea was submitted by one of the best Golden Tee players in the world and certifies my suspicions that yes – my pal “Dannyboy” Beall is clinically insane! A 30-to-300 yard par 3 with a CONCAVE GREEN?! Come on, Danny!?!?
- The Bat Cave is so bad that it would be, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest Golden Tee hole in history! Â Stalactites, stalagmites and spiderwebs? TO THE BAT CAVE MY FRIENDS!!!
- The nostalgia factor is great here but come on, Gerard, when the wind is blowing out an easy lob wedge would land in Lake Michigan!
- The one and only “Jefe” Allums of the Baja Bean Burrito Co. in VA tried to suck up to the judges with this commemorative anniversary design but somebody should get Jeff a ruler. Viewed to scale, the green is larger than the forest and the pin is the size of the Statue of Liberty! Here’s a hint, my friend – suck up with burritos this year and have a much better chance of success!

[...] Part two was fun, huh?  Picking apart “The Bad” – it really made me  feel like a big man!  Crushing the hopes and dreams of Jim Zielinski wannabes with every touch of a character on my keyboard.  It’s so damn fun to be a critic!  Finally, I’ve learned I can relieve all that pent up “Duffer” angst by bullying fans of the game I am paid to professionally market. It’s a beautiful thing. [...]
