Dorlon Golf Club in Columbia Station is the latest public golf course to close their doors. after 49 years on Saturday. This makes what we are doing here at Pine Valley such a labor of love. Michael and Lisa didn’t want to see Pine Valley go the way of Dorlon, or Skyland or Astrohurst. The mission here at Pine Valley is to return it to it’s glory days and make it a fantastic public golf course and all though we have gotten off to a bumpy start we will reach that goal. If you or someone you know has played at Dorlon and needs a new home golf course please make sure you share this post and any of our post with them. If you know someone who was in a league at Dorlon give them our information, we would love to host their league. 
Two friends went out to play golf and were about to tee off when one of them noticed his partner had just the one golf ball.
“Don’t you have at least one other golf ball?”, he asked.
The other guy replied that no, he only needed the one.
“Are you sure?”, the friend persisted. “What happens if you lose that ball?”
The other guy replied: “This is a very special golf ball. I won’t lose it so I don’t need another one.”
“Well,” the friend asked, “what happens if you miss your shot and the ball goes in the lake?”
“That’s okay,” he replied, “this special golf ball floats. I’ll be able to retrieve it.”
“Well, what happens if you hit it into the trees and it gets lost among the bushes and shrubs?”
The other guy replied, “That’s okay too. You see, this special golf ball has a homing beacon. I’ll be able to get it back – no problem.”
Exasperated, the friend asks: “Okay. Let’s say our game goes late, the sun goes down, and you hit your ball into a sand trap. What are you going to do then?”
“No problem,” says the other guy, “you see, this ball is fluorescent. I’ll be able to see it in the dark.”
Finally satisfied that he needs only the one golf ball, the friend asks: “Hey, where did you get a golf ball like that anyway?”
The other guy replies: “I found it.”

A man and his wife are playing the 5th hole at their club when he slices his drive so far to the right it rolls into an equipment barn. He finds the ball and plans to take a drop when she says, “Let me go down to the other end of the barn and hold the door open. Then you can hit your ball through the door and back to the fairway.”
He thinks this is a good idea, so she holds the door. He takes a big swing, but rather than flying through the door, the ball hits her in the head and kills her.
A year later, the same man and his new bride are playing the same hole when he again slices the ball into the shed. He finds it and plans to take an unplayable lie when she says, “Let me go down to the other end of the barn and hold the door open. Then you can hit your ball through the door and back to the fairway.”
He looks at her, shakes his head, and explains, “No way. The last time I tried that, I took a triple bogey on this hole!”

GOLF JOKE #5
Miguel and Wesley are playing golf at their favorite course, but on every hole they are being held up by a two-ball of women who are always half a hole ahead.
The women are great golfers, but they are playing terribly slow. Finally, after watching the women in the distance as they stood over their putts for what seemed like an eternity, Wesley decided to do something.
“I’ll walk ahead and ask them if we can play through,” Wesley said. He set off down the fairway, walking towards the women. But when he got halfway, he stopped, turned around and headed back to where Miguel waited.
“Can’t do it,” Wesley said, sounding mighty embarrassed. “One of them is my wife and the other is my mistress!”
“OK,” Miguel said with understanding. “Then I’ll go ask them.”
Miguel started up the fairway, only to stop halfway and turn back.
“What’s wrong?” Wesley asked when Miguel got back.
To which Miguel could only reply: “Small world, isn’t it?”
How Many Riders
Four old men went into the pro shop after playing 18 holes of golf.
The pro asked, “Did you guys have a good game today?”
The first old guy said, “Yes, I had three riders today.”
The second old guy said, “I had the most riders ever. I had five.”
The third old guy said, “I had seven riders, the same as last time.”
The last old man said, “I beat my old record. I had 12 riders today.”
After they went into the locker room, another golfer who had heard the old guys talking about their game went to the pro and said, “I’ve been playing golf for a long time and thought I knew all the terminology of the game, but what’s a rider?”
The pro said, “A rider is when you hit the ball far enough to actually get in the golf cart and ride to it.”

Accidents and injuries
Something happens to some people when they get behind the wheel of a golf cart. Some think it is a 4 wheeler and they can go anywhere or through anything with it. Some treat them like demolition derby cars and some think they are at the Indianapolis 500. A golf cart is a motorized moving vehicle just like your car and most people wouldn’t treat their cars like this so why do some golfers feel entitled to treat a golf courses property with out regard. Here is some information on cart accidents and injuries. When you come and play golf here or at any other course, please be safe when driving a golf cart.
Some of the main causes of injury related to golf cart accidents included cart overturn, falling/jumping from a moving golf cart, collision with another vehicle or stationary object, struck/run over by a cart, getting into or out of a moving cart. Out of all these, “falling or jumping from a golf cart” was the most common cause of injury for both adults and children.[12]
The most common type of injury was soft tissue damage, usually just bruises, followed by fractures, constituting 22.3% of the cases, and lacerations, accounting for 15.5% of injuries.[12] Other types of injuries include concussions, internal injuries, subdural hematoma, spinal cord injury, or acute respiratory compromise. While rare, a few cases had severe outcomes: 4 fatalities, 2 paraplegic, and 1 quadriplegic injuries have been documented.[13]
