Design-a-Hole Archive: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Part 3)

By "Duffer" Dan Schrementi | April 22nd, 2009

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

(Part 3 of 3)

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.

(Wow, I really become a sadistic jerk… Do you see what you’ve done to me, Chris Eversole!!!)

But throwing my inflated ego aside, we had a ton of fun with “The Bad” and now it’s time to cover “The Ugly!”  What is “The Ugly” you say?  Well, my friends, it’s the ambrosia salad of Design-a-Hole.  A dash of good, a pinch of bad and a whole lot of weird ingredients.

And when it comes to “The Ugly” the old adage of “save the best for last” applies.  This is the grand finale’ of our three-part series and we wouldn’t be posting these designs if we didn’t think they were, well, fantastically ugly!  So scroll down and enjoy the best of the worst… or the worst of the best… or the rest of the worst’s best… or whatever the hell you want to call ‘em.  Just enjoy!

Good times,

Duffer “U-G-L-Y you aint got no aliby, you ugly” Dan

THE UGLY

E.T. phoooone hooome... And tell our pal, that this hole is crrrazy! I'll tell you what, , if you would have sent this as a mashed potato sculpture it totally would have won!

Our pal "Jefe" Allums strikes again and this time he's ugly! Now, the judges understood the Olympic tie-in last year but they disqualified this entry because of the obvious fraud involved - we know your little daughter REALLY drew this, Jeff.

Brad here is a big cigar fine and was obviously inspired by his passion in designing "Smoke: The Experience." But after looking closer, I am starting to think Brad's really not a "cigar" fan at all...

By far the most beautiful of the ugly and an homage to the Civil War hero, General Stonewall Jackson. You know, Shane, the General was once quoted saying, "Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy." Congratulations, my friend. You win.

Design-a-Hole Archive: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

By "Duffer" Dan Schrementi | March 31st, 2009

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

(Part 1 of 3)

Ahhhh… I can smell it in the air – can you?  Eraser dust, modeling glue, paper mache’…  Design-a-Hole season is upon us once again!  A time where the dreams of Golden Tee golfers from around globe are doodled on a piece of paper,  judged only to either be crushed or immortalized.

Personally, I love Design-a-Hole!  Since I began at IT five years ago, we in marketing land continuously explored ideas that would be fun for players to take part in.  Honestly – this one was a no brainer!  But as the coordinator of the contest, you have no idea how much joy I take in by the little (usually) emailed nuggets of Golden Tee goodness that await in my inbox each-and-every day of the contest.  Damn you guys are clever!

So far this year, 30 ideas have been sent in and it looks like last year’s record of 50 is going to get blasted out of the water.  And while I can’t reveal any of this year’s nominations, I thought it would be fun to go through the Design-a-Hole archive and shine a spotlight on some of the ideas that didn’t make the cut in 2008.

In film, it’s the outtakes.  In music it’s the b-side.  In Golden Tee, it’s the good, the bad and of course, the ugly.  Welcome to part one of this three part series, right here at blog.goldentee.com.

Stay Tuned to the Golden Tee Blog for Parts 2 and 3 of Design-a-Hole – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly  (And trust me, “The Bad” and “The Ugly” or even more fun than “The Good”)

Good times,

THE GOOD

You know “The Falls” and surley you remember Bert Loftus’ “Frog’s Pond,” as well as other finalists “Steps” and “Beware of Gravity.”  But what you don’t know are the good ideas from last year that narrowly missed the cut – the semi-finalists!  Take a look at what designs interested Larry Hodgson and Jim Zielinski during the initial judging period last year.  And while the designers of these works of art may not be immortalized in Golden Tee,  they can rest easy knowing their ideas can live for ever, right here on the Golden Tee Blog! (Well, until I need to clear hard drive space…)

Gotta love a hole designed like a fishing lure. Very clever and would be fun to play!

Gotta love the CAD work on this design. Kudos, Don! The layout thoroughly impressed the judges, the hole just needed a little extra something and it surely would have made the cut.

Mmmmmm.... Donutssssss......
Mmmmmm…. Donutssssss……  This hole probably had a shot, but it was the hazard in the middle of the green that ultimately turned off the judges.

Jim and Larry thought this was a clever layout and would be great fun to play. I think it looks like a mixture of Heather Pointe and Savannah 17! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!

Golden Tee is Going to the NAVY – Follow us on the USS John C Stennis

By "Duffer" Dan Schrementi | January 9th, 2009

Hello and welcome to the new Golden Tee Blog powered by Word Press.

This is an official blog admined by members of Incredible Technologies’ staff and my name is “Duffer” Dan Schrementi – marketing manager at IT.

While Goldentee.com is the official site for all GT news, this blog was created to give you a more personal glimpse at the Golden Tee community so that you can see what GT life is like.

This blog was sparked with a very special purpose in mind.  The week of January 12, 2009 a team from IT, including myself, will be heading to the USS John C. Stennis – a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered carrier in the US Navy.

The team from IT will be sailing from Bremerton, WA down to San Diego, CA and in that time (5 days) we will be shooting a variety of films.  We’re going to learn what life is like on an aircraft carrier.  We’re bringing Sobe – he’s going to be teaching the sailors how to master the game.  We are extremely proud and honored to be going on this adventure.

Tune back to blog.goldentee.com to see what’s happening on the Stennis as told by Duffer Dan, Sobe and the rest of our crew.  It’s going to be one wild ride and we want you to come along.

Here we go!

- Duffer Dan
