[Ed. Note: The first round of this weekend’s Goodboys Invitational will be played at Breakfast Hill Golf Club in Greenland, NH. Golf Channel’s Rich Lerner attempts to preview the course with the help of Goodboys Doug “The Great White Shank” Richard, Ben “The Funny Guy” Andrusaitis, Tony “2 Times” Proctor, Steve “Killer” Kowalski, Mike “Vegas” Clark, and Ron “Cubby” Myerow to show just what the rest of the Goodboys have waiting for them.]

RL: Quaintly nestled under soaring pines and amidst rolling terrain, Breakfast Hill Golf Club is a worthwhile venue to kick off the 2012 Goodboys Invitational. “The Hill”‘s winding fairways and contoured greens, picturesque woodlands, and exposed granite boulders will test every Goodboy from the very first tee shot. OK, gentlemen, let’s talk turkey, and I don’t mean the Thanksgiving kind. You’ve got rolling hills, tight fairways, and more than a couple-two-three surprises in the form of hidden trouble along the way. The Goodboys played this venue three years ago…

TGWS: Commands accuracy off the tee.

2 TIMES: That leaves you out, bro…

CUBBY: Tough course.

VEGAS: It’s not that tough, Cubby – not for a man of your strength. Narrow, yes, but keep it in the short grass and you’ll be all right.

TFG: I remember the back nine. Tight as a freakin’ UNH coed trolling the downtown bars on a Portsmouth Saturday night. Right, Cubby? Whaddaya say this year? Listen, I can drink ’em cute, but I can’t drink ’em thin. Cub, you with me? Find your game!

CUBBY: This year I’m going cougar hunting…

2 TIMES: I prefer pin hunting and making some birdies. Dude, I remember this course. On #2 there’s a pond on the left but you can’t reach it. Aim for the pond, take the woods out of play.

TGWS: I don’t need to aim for the pond, my ball flight typically takes that path all by itself.

KILLER: On most holes you want to stay opposite of what the view tells you from the tee. ‘Cept on 13, where there’s a pond on the left protecting the green that you can’t see.

VEGAS: It’s a perfect hole for a Tiger Woods 3-iron stinger. Unfortunately, I don’t have that shot in my bag.

TGWS: The whole back nine is like that. You’re not going to be taking driver out on any of the holes…

VEGAS: Speak for yourself, kemosabe. It’s not overly long but it does force you to make precise shots.

TFG: Speaking of shots… I’ve got a bottle of the “good doctor” on me. Who’s with me? Shank, take a hit, will ya? Killa, you in? C’MON!!

CUBBY: Tough course.

RL: Well, there you have it. You can tell these Goodboys are not afraid to take the challenge posed by Breakfast Hill. (Dramatic pause) The legendary “Lord” Byron Nelson was once moved to say that “every great player has learned the two Cs: how to concentrate and how to maintain composure”. One can’t help but wonder if these Goodboys will be able to do just that and hold it together over a long, tough weekend of Goodboys golf. It is, most certainly, golf like any other. For Golf Channel and Goodboys Nation weblog, this is Rich Lerner saying, adios, muchachos!
