  1. I don’t think he’s complaining that mud balls happen or that they don’t get lift clean place, but rather that they simply are a significant factor on 11 and 13 yet they’re not supposed to talk about it.
  2. Also, when you’re frantically searching for updates, it doesn’t help that google needs clarification on which shooting at that school you’re talking about
  3. My kid is a Jr at FSU. She drove home tonight after sobbing all afternoon with her shaken friends. Luckily SWAT was quickly outside their house so she was never in danger, but can’t help but think there’s scars nonetheless. Fuck we have failed so miserably
  4. That small crouch as you start to reach the top of your backswing and transition your weight to the front should result in a small jump into your front leg post as your hips rotate toward the target, creating the room for your club head to glide. I’d bet your hips are too passive and your lead leg is remaining bent at impact
  5. I still can’t get over that he thought a crossbones logo was the way to ingratiate himself into the Saudi Apologists League
  6. Ive seen some crazy shit in my ~35 years on the course, but today is in the top 5 for sure 70ish old regular in our Saturday game has been out for four months undergoing cancer treatment (fuck cancer) and was able to get out for the first time today, playing in my group. We start on our harder half of the course and he’s understandably struggling a bit, +12 through the first 8 holes. On the 9th, though, he hits a brilliant drive, excellent layup, then perfect iron onto the green of our 2nd handicap par-5 and taps in for an easy birdie. You love to see it We make the turn, all smiles. He hits another great drive, nice iron, then birdie putt. Back to back! We move on to the #1 handicap, another par 5. Another fucking birdie! Our next hole is a tight par 4, and he finally misses, off to the left in the rough under a tree. He has no realistic iron so he just hits his 3wood low towards the green and the sonofabitch rolls right on to the green about 40’ past the hole. He’s left with the kind of kneeknocker downhiller one might expect to make maybe 1 in 20 attempts…. he hits it DEAD FUCKING CENTER of the cup for his fourth consecutive bird!?!? Next hole is a short par 3 which he easily lands on but about 50 feet left of the hole. He two putts and says “well, I guess that’s it then” and it was. He proceeds to go +7 on the last 5 holes. I’ve never seen anything like that kind of heater
  7. Pretty sure someone threw Scottie’s ball back on #12
  8. Or perhaps a better approach is go get a single lesson for some basic swing work and let him quickly tell you what your specs probably are
  9. While I agree you may not need a full on proper fitting yet, don’t confuse that with a (free) basic fitting at a golf store to at least get proper shaft stiffness, shaft length, club head lie and grips. You don’t want to build the basics of your swing around grossly inappropriate clubs.
  10. lol no they don’t
  11. No one saw this coming
  12. New offer just arrived ... $3/month for 36 months! This has to be some sort of leading market indicator, right?! siriusxm.com/My3years
  13. They found a way to make it even uglier! This one is fucking pink
  14. Trumpkins in a golf group chat. It’s a fucking cult
  15. They fucked this up. I saw Maynard recently admitted they fucked up on digital, too. Wonder when they’ll realize they fucked up not pro filming their concerts.
  16. Amazing and it makes sense. Great hand
  17. ~20 seconds in the MGM app. I always glance, puzzled, at the lines checking in. More so on the lines checking out. What the actual fuck are you people doing?!
  18. Hate that for you. It’s a great course
  19. With all respect, building a strategy around your experience (real, or even worse perceived) is a terrible way to minimize your losses. The classic example is youve just seen a (fair) coin toss land heads up 10 times in a row. Is the next toss more likely to be heads or tails?
  20. Aria has a $200 minimum bet table on the main floor and it’s full at Noon on Saturday. Sickos!
  21. Ahhh, my bad We have a constant bad beat here and I always cringe at the “it’s due” talk
  22. Shouldn’t it be desert camo?
  23. From that thread, “Nerd Reich” is pretty good
  24. The gambler’s fallacy. It’s equally likely to happen tomorrow.
