Really funny Miramont story. Years ago I played in a charity event there and won a $500 gift cert for the pro shop. Since I am not a member I went ahead and used it that day at the shop. Got my daughter and I polo's and a couple of hats and some other swag.
Cut to couple of years ago, after the Gary Blair tourney at Traditions, wife, daughter and I go to Casa Do Brasil for dinner. I am still in my golf clothes, which included Loudmouth Hawaiian print golf shorts and one of the Miramont caps, which I was sporting backwards by this point. I had had a few, maybe even a few too many, and it was a long hot day so I am sure I looked and smelled like a drunk homeless person by this time.
As we walk out to the car there are a couple guys standing by the fountain complaining about the price of the place and I overhear this as we pass by them-
1st guy "Man 13 bucks for a mixed drink, that's ridiculous, this isn't Austin or Dallas, this place is never gonna make it here"
2nd guy "no way this place is open in 6 months, no effing way a place this fancy makes it here"
1st guy "how about the clown in Hawaiian shorts and the backwards Miramont hat who brough a little kid to eat here?"
2nd guy "rich guys don't give a **** what stuff costs or how they look in public, he's probably a member at Miramont"
1st guy "yeah right rich *******s"
we laughed our asses off and still use it as an inside joke to this day! Miramont huh, must be a member lol
As a side not I like the course. It's fun and usually meticulously kept up, I just can't afford to be a member there despite the beliefs of a couple random dudes at Casa Do Basil
