  1. I’m trying not to jinx it, but we close on a house Jan 30 that backs up to the #9 tee box on one of the nicer semi-private clubs in Jax. I’ll be able to walk out my back yard and loop 6, 9 or 18. Driving range is about 500 yds away. I turn 50 next week and this sets up the next 15 (?) years nicely!
  2. That's a very interesting theory. Hard to say causation, but the decrease does appear to have begun a short while after bomb pots became regular. It 100% changed the $2/5 game to become far more swing-y. It was actually funny to watch the consistently natural progression for newer players ... Never heard of bomb pots -> Get it, but struggle with it -> Randomly win a big ass pot -> Love bomb pots -> torch themselves every subsequent bomb pot -> curse bomb pots on their way out the door ... to your point, possibly never to be seen again. I would say I was guilty of wanting to get the new guys to win one or two because I knew they'd be hooked, to my future benefit I'm actually playing $2/2 now to try and rebuild my bankroll for a Vegas trip in Feb and I'm noticing a lot of other $2/5 players have migrated down to $2/2.
  3. Are you guys noticing a decline in the number of live players in your rooms? We still do fine during events and big promos, but when those aren’t going the $2/5 game most notably is taking a hit the last few months. Curious if it’s just a local phenomenon (NE FL) or happening in TX too
  4. From the new Leprous live show. Would love to see this in person
  5. You’ll be swimming in $5 offers. They won’t leave me alone now. It’s not even worth $5 imo. I’d rather Apple Music just DJ for me
  6. Played in a pair of wide cleats today, though I’ve never felt I needed wide shoes in general, and found them to be excellent for comfort (I walk) and also stability. Curious if anyone else has tried this that doesn’t normally wear wide shoes
  7. Good call. I’m going to give a closer look to the Costco bag tomorrow
  8. The Team Edge walking bags are absolute trash. Are you guys seeing any other Longhorns walking bags locally? Online it’s pretty much only this TE garbage and jacked up Nike bags on eBay.
  9. I run a game every weekend. 20 players last Sunday. However, we use GHIN handicaps so any team combo is balanced by strokes given to each player.
  10. Cantlays new putting coach is named Phil Canyon, which is a great putting coach name … but an even better porn star name
  11. Handi is looking good! You’re about to lose a low score, though, so need to shoot a good round next time out to keep lowering it
  12. Odds are pretty good the card reader was wrong
  13. Has anyone seen a good explanation of who introduced that in the first place and why?
  14. I, too, shot a 39 on the front this morning. Paired nicely with a 50 on the back
  15. They’ve got the course redesign architect on Live From and he’s doing a hole by hole review of his design decisions. REALLY cool discussion if you’re into that stuff. He just finished the front 9 so you can still catch the back live but I’m sure they’ll replay this. Gil Hanse is his name
  16. Thought I’d take a shot at the precut ribs at Costco. Only cooked 2 of the 5 (wtf?) and they still took 6.5 hours at 215-240* Came out great
  17. The inelasticity of BBs relative to inflation and rake has always been interesting to me. Players want to play $2, $5 and $10 BBs but those games are now effectively worth much less to players than they were 10 years ago
  18. They finally escaped the contract that only allowed one company to service the machine
  19. Good lord, that just screams incompetence
  20. Their app exclusive deals have turned to shit, but if you go into the McValue Menu section and scroll down to meals, there’s a $5 McDouble Meal Deal that’s a steal.
  21. Think they’re losing money? I assumed they were banking
  22. The old Wynn room was perfect in that regard, imo. Comfortably away from the casino floor, but obvious to passers-by and in between the clubs and the parking garage for funneling in fish
  23. I’d guess many of us far prefer an isolated room rather than being out in the open casino. Smokers and slot machines are annoying as fuck
  24. You can’t really dust for vomit
  25. His gamer driver was ruled non-conforming on Tuesday. Perhaps he’s struggling with the feel of the replacement
