  1. I'm sure Greller is keeping tabs along the way. It's only a DQ if he signs it incorrectly and at that point, Max will have had to sign/verify it as well.
  2. I don't really agree with your read on their hopes but even if it were the case, I'm sure they were just hoping for something sustainably exciting. Snooze fest of a race. They talked more about Lando and his P17 (or whatever) pneumatic issues than anything else.
  3. Golf fans are the worst sports fan anywhere. Awkward as fuck and most are so dumb on golf in general. That was a GREAT tournament. One of the best Sundays in quite a while.
  4. This year, that title has to be Stroll. Followed up by Stroll. And then next year, the new least favorite is likely Stroll.
  5. Really not a fan of no cut events. WGC all over again.
  6. I think I'm ok with them not showing how the Riley and Ellie story wraps up. I'm not sure I could have taken seeing them play out what happened to Riley and Ellie after the bite, my feels were pretty much spent without that. I imagine it was something a la Henry and Sam but a lot slower. Agree with what others are saying - this isn't really a show about zombies, zombies just happen to be in it. I hate zombies and anything horror-esque in general and I'm enjoying this. Granted, I do blur my eyes during the scary shit.
  7. Do you know how hard it is to get a 40 year old to pay attention to anything when where are airplanes taking off and landing next door? I'd throw my neck out looking up and then get beaned in the nuts.
  8. Finally, a UT golfer with a textbook swing.
  9. God help us all if Lance Stroll is in a competitive car.
  10. Is there a reason RB didn't put two cars out there? Quick glance, it looks like all the other teams did. They got more than double the laps of any other car so I guess it evens out but I would think they'd want to test two different setups.
  11. Physics grad, huh? So now Charles and Carlos can pick from Plan Alpha, Beta, and Gamma instead of A, B, and C?
  12. Pierceson and Parker both are making their debut. Pierceson is kicking ass, -4 and 1 shot off the lead, just finished 18. Parker did not have as good of a day.
  13. Trackmans are a game changer in teaching. They provide a ton of info that the naked eye can't discern (for mere mortals not named Penick). Makes it less risky for the student - the teacher has such a huge aid they are more likely to succeed. There are competitors to Trackmans but they are the Rolls Royce of sims. Edit: to expand some, it tracks backspin, side spin, club speed, ball speed, face angle, plots the trajectory, carry distance, roll out and more. It's impressive.
  14. GHIN has PCC now so the formulas are not the same unless MyScorecard does PCC just using their own data. Even if they did do that (which I doubt), their PCC would be different from GHIN PCC since the underlying data would be different.
  15. You don't have to turn scorecards in, you can just post them using the GHIN app or GHIN website. You do have to be signed up with a club that is associated with GHIN (of which there are many). The only way to now maintain an accurate handicap is through GHIN, unfortunately (though handicaps are more fair now so tradeoffs and all that).
  16. It would have been the best peace deal you've ever seen. Believe me.

    So what exactly have you been doing then, Earnie?
  18. I would argue a good chunk of your extra distance is only because more modern irons are much stronger - a 6i of yesterday has the same loft that a 7i does today, for example. The cavity back irons will be more difficult to work a draw/fade than, say, a forged blade. But you gain the forgiveness. That tradeoff still exists - workability vs forgiveness. You have to figure out where you want to lie in that trade off and then get an iron that matches. That being said, compared to older irons, I think nearly all irons today are more forgiving and less workable than their older counterparts (old blade vs new blade, old cavity back vs new cavity back). Shaft flex is a tradeoff between distance and control - basically, swing the weakest flex that you can control. The other reason to splurge on a shaft is for consistency in how it load/unloads. I haven't really researched graphite shafts in quite a while but I imagine they are generally lighter in weight for the same flex so if you like lightweight feeling, graphite makes sense. I don't care if I'm playing with a 110+ golfer - you can suck and still play fast, it's just about being aware of yourself and others.
  19. Why was it absurd? Big and clunky, huge numerals made out of giant tritium tubes that were brighter than the sun. It was a tank of a watch that was the epitome of purposeful. Like I said, I miss it. Wish I hadn't sold it but it was a lot of watch. And I made a small profit so that helped.
  20. I consider having a 99% the same livery as the previous year as mailing it in but unless I'm missing the derision, I don't see RB or Ferrari being mocked. Clearly a divisive car. Probably for multiple reasons.
  21. This has got to be one of my favorite courses to watch on TV, especially #10. I didn't think Koepka came off as too big of a douchebag in episode #2. Maybe it's because I already had that opinion and he seemed more normal relative to that? I don't know - he just sounded like a really lost dude, trying to figure shit out. Now, I also know he's the same dickwad that plays the "oh, it's just golf, I never practice, it's just a hobby, not a sport, I only try in the majors" card so who know what's real and what's not.
  22. You have good eyes, clearly. I'm jealous. I like clean and simple which I know is not really what an F1 car goes for. Difficult to with 90,000 sponsors on the car.
  23. To each their own I guess. Merc's livery is the only one that really made me say wow. But I like change and they had the most substantial of any mfg. Unveiling a 99% the same livery is boring AF. I'd rather see them take a chance.
  24. But you like the Ferrari livery? 🤨
  25. Silver Arrows should be silver, blah blah blah. Don't care, that black Merc W14 livery looks awesome.
