  1. I think I might take Scottie. Similar to when Tiger was in his prime. Getting hard to bet against the guy.
  2. I was told the first pic is a wolf and the second is a coyote based on the snout of the first one being wider and the ears curved and not pointed but no idea if that is true.
  3. Played Banff Springs course today. Shot a 88 so not horrible. Scenery is amazing. Plus the wildlife on the course like elk and coyote/wolf (not sure what it was).
  4. I know we shouldn’t pay attention to polls but the poll below is why America has failed. We are a nation of idiots based on how people view Trump. https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/following-trumps-guilty-verdict-first-211234702.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=1_11
  5. I'm about to infomercial you guys but these two items below are really working for me right now. Golf Forever swing trainer program and classes plus this gimmicky 56-degree wedge which has taken all chunks and bladed wedge shots out of my game for the last couple of weeks. Shot an 86 on my home course but it was way tougher than usual because I am on a lake in Dallas and the course was so flooded many of the fairways are now part of the lake. Also doubled the last two holes with some shitty putting on my part or could have scored better. Swing Trainer – GOLFFOREVER ONE Wedge - Performance Golf
  6. I have been arguing this for years. I get free speech but it's fucking criminal what they have done to this country and the news business in general. If Walter Cronkite was alive to today, he would punch all of these "news people" in the fucking mouth for embarrassing what a news reporter and anchorman are supposed to be.
  7. CSB- An old business partner of my fathers was a hit man in the mafia for 2 of the NY families. He went to prison and when he was out on probation he was sitting in Central Park and a known mafia person jogged by him and said hello. The feds got a picture of that and put him back in prison for associating with a known criminal. Maybe that is federal level versus state level rules?
  8. I disagree with this. These people aren’t all Fascists and they all don’t want bad things to happen to the groups you mentioned. Some are like that but many unfortunately and simply just watch Fox News and believe the country is falling apart because of the Democrats and Biden. Are there racists that vote for Trump? Yes and they are pieces of shit. Are there people that vote for Trump that are greedy and just care about their personal possessions and making more money? Yes and they are pieces of shit, but to lump everyone that votes for Trump in one category is actually incorrect. There is a large group of Republicans that have a different/incorrect view of the world because Fox News, right wing media, and the Republican politicians push that on them as the truth. It has probably always been this way but now it is amped up even more with social media and media in general but it’s quite amazing to see propaganda and lies and how it steers the views of people in this country.
  9. These fuckers would vote for Hitler if he was on the Republican Ticket. All you would hear is, “yeah he killed 6 million people but Biden is senile so I have to vote for the mass murderer”.
  10. The stock market is up because of Trump not Biden. Everything good that happens is because of Trump and everything bad is because we didn't let Trump make it good. Now if the stock market were down then that would be Biden's fault.
  11. Played Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome yesterday. It was cool playing a Ryder Cup course but damn that was tough. The rough was so difficult it was quite frustrating. Just grabbed your club no matter how hard you swung and I was in it a lot. Greens were tough also but the views and playing in the Italian countryside was a lot of fun.
  12. I bought the full package which is this training stick and the resistance bands. Also bought a foam roller at Walmart since that helps with the exercises. What I bought came with a free year of the app based training. You take a quick assessment like for me helping my back was most important basically and then everyday it gives you a new fundamental lesson and a new rotational power lesson. Lots of stretching, core work and stuff but man it is helping me. Guy a golf with every weekend is 61 years old and told me about it and he is a good golfer. Said it added 30 yards to every club after doing it for 6 months. He drives the ball about 270z. The lessons are done in a specific order to build on one another to specifically help your golf swing and for me protect my back. It makes sense once you have been doing it for a week or so. Plus if it’s good enough for Scheffler it’s good enough for me.
  13. You sound like one of those librul, commie, socialist facists who roots against Merica.
  14. The President should make my life better and if my life sucks its the President's fault not mine or my poor decisions that have led to my life sucking. I know many on here hate Bill Maher but the end of his show last Friday night was quite good I thought. He hammered the media for how they skew things, but he also basically said everybody should basically look in the mirror and ask if their life is that bad. The media tells us the world is falling apart and our lives are terrible because of it but if we really asked ourselves (even everyone on this forum), how is your life in general then most of us would probably say it's pretty good. All those Trumpers that Fox News is telling them to be afraid of immigrants sneaking in our country and raping and murdering everyone are most likely living in nice homes, with good jobs, friends and family around them and in states where this issue doesn't really affect them. Most people on both sides that are successful were successful under Trump, Biden, Obama before that and so on. Those that are struggling now were probably struggling under Trump also. The President doesn't affect your life the way people want to believe.
  15. The whole polling system is fucked but the bigger problem is now the media will parrot this and talk on both right and left wing media outlets about how Biden is in trouble and Trump is about to get 300+ electoral votes. This could lead to people not voting or changing their votes so they can vote for the "winning team". Also, if those numbers are correct then it just shows how incredibly ignorant and dumb the US population is. I mean everyone pretty much knows they are, but it really shows people have lost the ability for critical thinking. If you watched Trump for 4 years and think, "yeah, this is the guy that can fix things" you should lose your right to vote.
  16. I have been doing golf forever for a few weeks now. I can’t recommend it enough even though I am just getting started with the program. Shot a 84 on Friday and 41 on the front 9 today before thunderstorms came through DFW. I usually hit my drive like 225 and my last drive on hole 9 went 260 which is far for me. In fact all of my clubs are going further since I am looser and can actually rotate. Biggest benefit is my back doesn’t hurt after the rounds. Now off to Rome tomorrow and will play Marco Simone on Friday so hoping to keep hitting the ball the way I have been the last week or so.
  17. Biden is a member of a golf course called Fieldstone in Delaware. One of my clients is also a member and can’t stand Biden. Nothing to do with golf but my client is a big Republican and Fox News watcher sadly so he thinks the country is falling apart because of Biden even thought he is worth 100 million dollars and life is pretty good for him. I should probably take this to the golf thread but I played Fieldstone a few years ago with my client and it is a beautiful course.
  18. So CSB or not so cool. One of my clients is a huge Trumper. Like did New Years at Mar a lago and was showing me pictures of his family with Trumps family. He told us how he was playing golf at Trump National and was in the group behind Donald Trump. My client tells us the whole round Trump's forecaddies would drop his ball right in the middle of the fairway like 30 yards farther than what he actually hit or drop a ball in the fairway even when Trump hit a shitty shot into the rough or out of bounds. He said he was talking to his forecaddie and the guy said all of the caddies know that when they caddy for Trump they have to carry extra balls in their pockets to place on the fairway in case he hits one in the rough and Trump acts like he actually hit it where they drop it. The frustrating part is the guy telling me this just laughs about it as "isn't Trump a funny guy" where I look at it like "what a fucking cheater Trump is".
  19. By the way, below is the link to the current Fox News Politics page. I know many don't want to click it and give them hits but try and go to this page and imagine you don't get news anywhere else. Now read the all the stories posted on the entire page. I saw zero about Trump or Stormy Daniels or anything that has to do with the trial. If a person goes to this site and believes it's real news, then their entire world view gets skewed to fearing the Democrats because they are corrupt and evil, and the Republicans like Trump are the good guys doing what's best for America. It sickens me actually, so now I am off to play golf and get really upset! Politics, Policy and Political News & Updates | Fox News
  20. I get free speech and all that but as long as channels like Fox News are allowed to call themselves "news" this country will remain broken. Half the country thinks they are getting news when like others have said it's just propaganda. This is why somewhat normal people in this country are not Fascist wannabees but just get told over and over again that immigrants are flooding the country and killing US citizens and taking their jobs and the Dems want to make your kids gay and trans and every other ridiculous idea that Fox News is pushing causes them to truly believe this stuff because they think Fox News is real news. Joseph Goebbels would be proud of Fox News. I turned on CNN last night and they were talking about Trump's trial. Switched to MSNBC and they also were discussing Trump's trial. I guess when a former President gets indicted and is in court it is a big story. When I switched to Fox News it had nothing on Trump's trial, but they had some story about Biden being senile and he shouldn't be allowed to be President because he has dementia. Propaganda like this should be criminal. I can't imagine news anchors like Cronkite, Rather, Brokaw, Koppel, etc.... going on the nightly news and ignoring big stories because it would hurt one party or the other or spinning every story to help one party or the other.
  21. Sadly, half the country that watches this shit is now saying to themselves, “he is a sex god and porn stars want to have sex with him which is my dream also so we should definitely elect him again to be President”.
  22. Can any of the lawyers on here legitimately defend this type of action? It sure looks like she is just protecting the guy that made her a judge no matter what crimes he may have committed.
