No. Why you gotta be so mean?

Depends on your 8 iron. It's a trap!

Don't you know a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich? /Tahoehorn

We stayed at the Hyatt and also played Shaffer’s Mill. I thought it was a better course than Edgewood but the conditions were a little rough (I think maybe drought hit them hard that year). I would also like to go back someday.

We did Tahoe back in 2019. Played Edgewood the Monday before the celebrity tourney. Lots of fun. is Northstar by the Ritz? Tried to get on Martis Camp. No dice.

Project much?

It really depends on your swing speed. If you're in generally good health, age 52 you probably would be fine in 'stiff' but not 'x-stiff'. I'm 58 and have played stiff shafts my whole life. Never was able to hit XS (couldn't generate enough speed), and regular shafts just feel to whippy for me (can't control them), so any loss in distance due to me not swinging fast enough to take advantage of stiffness is offset by a more predictable shot pattern. I don't remember if Dallas Golf has a simulator bay, but if you were to go to Dicks on Central Expressway at Park Lane they have some there and you could see if someone will let you demo swing a few clubs in there. if your driver swing speed is over 90 mph you're probably fine in stiff shafts. Again, if you were to get some lessons a good teaching pro can help you figure out what sort of shafts make the most sense for you. PS I'm happy to make an introduction for you with one of the pros at my club (Lakewood).

If you have a friend willing to let you take hand me downs of something not ancient that's always a great place to start with clubs while you work on developing a workable swing. Used clubs through "Second Swing" or as mentioned above Callaway pre-owned is also good. If you're in NTX I think Dallas Golf has a pretty solid used club area. I'd avoid eBay just because there is a lot of counterfeit stuff out there and if you don't know your way around you could end up getting ripped off. Would strongly recommend getting a handful of lessons to start. Sometimes the pro may be able to help you locate starter set of clubs too.

Not unless someone brought a can of Bud Light.

Seeing more tweets from various news outlets that Capitol Police are saying it was a false alarm based on a "concerning 911 call". Someone may have SWATted the Russell Building.

No idea if this person is reliable.

Presumably you are not playing that wedge in any official USGA events.

I laughed. Yep, straight to hell. Who's with me?

This?

They talked about this the other day on the Ticket. Quite a story.

The dangling strands of hair are chef's kiss.

So.... Woke up July 5 with a really sore neck/shoulder/right arm. During the day it got progressively worse with the pain running down into my index finger and ultimately tingling in the tip with some numbness. Only way to get relief was to put my hand up on behind my head. Fast forward 4 weeks, MRI, and ESI later--I think my 2023 golf season may be over. Major issues with both sides C4-7 with impingement on two discs on right side. FML. Probably going to have to have surgery.
