I'm guessing it's because they've become soft. Why wouldn't they? Appearance money for showing up in shorts and knocking it around in 54. It's bound to happen I suppose. It looks like Nick Dunlap would have beaten them too.
Time for a new round tracker thread.
I continue to recover very well from my surgery though I have some mild episodic pain to work through. The big news for the year is that my league partner dropped out of the Tuesday league for this year. Not a bad thing as he was very difficult to play with...
There's fucking ZERO chance that we take the cup this year. We're usually the stronger team on paper and we don't even have that edge this year.
The foreign location drought will continue.
Enough LIV PGA bullshit.
Who's been playing and how's it going?
I'm having issues with my left hip/leg so it limits me to a few times a week and I've had to use a cart sometimes but I've been playing very well. So far low rounds are 75 and 78. Yesterday I bought a set of irons for the first...
It's been true for some time but this season puts the nail in the coffin. Going to the SB the very first year with another team? It'll be crazy if he does win but Montana couldn't sustain it without Walsh and those defenses. Montana fans can still be butthurt, but they do need to STFU. Tampa's...
Did you guys see his latest pathetic bullshit? What an asshole. He didn't see that it bounced. Hey Patrick, was it embedded? No, it simply couldn't have been.

I'm really going to recommit to golf this year. My driver swing is getting really solid. I just have to resist trying to hit the ball. When I just swing through the ball it's down the middle every time and longer than I've ever hit it.
I have two new buddies who each belong to area private...
I got a chance to play 10 holes with my new Zip yesterday. What absolute heaven! It was cold and we're off season here with temp pins so I had the place to myself and played two balls. My questions going in were how distracting is managing the buggy around the course and how well does it take...
He was knocked from his golf cart by a falling tree while a brief but severe storm was ripping through the course yesterday afternoon. Don't know whether he was coming in from playing or trying to clear the course of players but wow. He was a very well respected pro in the area.
Cripes...
...once around the yard while I'm putting it away for the night. No fucking way do I hit the tar with an alcohol buzz. I haven't had any before riding in quite a while but when I did and if I do it's a strict two beer limit.
8/15/15 I had stopped at my buddy's bar and I had a couple of beers...
Hi everyone, I haven't posted much lately 'cause I've been pouring my soul, my time and a good chunk of change into promoting a ball return design that will get us back to playing without compromise. Kudos to the folks who developed lift systems and who modified their cups in all sorts of ways...
Time for this year's new thread. I won't be playing for a few months but some of you guys will.
Good luck on the season to everybody.....keep it in the short grass!
I had a student in school who had a passion for hunting. A fellow had mentored him in deer hunting and I mentored him on bird hunting. He stayed active with both through high school and we got together last year to hunt birds. He got his welding certification and at 19yr he's now on a prevailing...
I work in a school system. We recently got an e-mail from our IT department announcing that all personal devices used to check school Google based Gmail MUST be password protected. If not protected by a certain date, we would no longer be able to access our mail.
This got me wondering how they...
Haven't been able to find out what caused his death but I hear the he had been sick with an illness.
Neal played guitar and wrote songs but was also a member of Ryan Adams& the Cardinals and the Chris Robinson Brotherhood.
I saw him many times and have a few very cool conversations with him...
I lay on an operating table getting my fucking leg cut off in April with the goal of returning to the course and breaking 80 at least once this year. Shot 80 twice before coming up lame and unable to play. Bogeyed 18 both times. Fuck.
Played for the first time in August yesterday and the long...
I ran a couple of Saabs back when I was younger and the second one came to my new house with me in the summer of 1995. I rolled it out to start it the next spring and the fuel lines leaked so I rolled it back. Got busy...changed jobs....had a kid....yada yada so years went by.
Then about 10...
I've driven past the very private Country Club of Pittsfield for the 32 years that I've been playing and have never had an invite. Well our course is having a three day 4 ball tournament that I'm not playing in and we have reciprocal tee times with Pittsfield so tomorrow morning me and Phil will...
Why is it that whenever you hit your longest drive you've ever hit on a hole, you bogey the fuckin' thing?
Well the other day I crushed my driver and found the back of the green on our downhill par 4 10th. Didn't hit my chip shot well and left myself a 10 footer for birdie.
I made the fuckin'...
Time for our annual daily stories thread.
I'm really psyched about my driver swing. I still need to gain strength in my hip but I've made some adjustments that have me really striking the ball squarely.
1) Choke down one half inch.
2) Left shoulder forward, right shoulder back at address.
3)...
It was bad enough that the PGA Championship was already the least valued major. Now that they've moved it to this stupid time of year, it has even less luster. It used to help that it was held nearly the same time of year as our club championships so there was a bit of a correlation.
It was...
If you do, be careful. I picked one up on ebay and attempted to refurbish my worn 60 degree wedge. It worked great....too great. After doing some reading, I fear that I made the club illegal.
I don't feel like I widened the grooves any but the edges are so sharp, I can stop the ball in its...
