  1. Andiamo is good, as is Barry’s. Can you do better? Sure but being where you already are at has a lot of value. Get the meatball starter at Andiamo.
  2. I still recall making a birdie at Penick with only a 5 iron!
  3. Going to Gamble Sands and Coeur d Alene in April, can’t fucking wait
  4. Josh Nichols - Mental Golf Show podcast. Jon Sherman - Four Foundations of Golf book
  5. Played UT Golf Club today, that’s a really damn good course. Greens were elite, perfectly true and fast. Course was challenging and fun without being a beating or slog. Highly recommended.
  6. Sure, fair, and I considered making a similar point. I guess I took it to mean something along the lines of “no statistically significant risk beyond the baseline risk of playing football”.
  7. The commentary I have seen is that basically after a couple weeks he can't injure it worse, it's just a matter of if he can grip and throw realistically. I would guess he returns for OU's home game vs. Ole Miss, and that the game-winning play in the Cotton Bowl is made by a defensive player, not either QB.
  8. AC sprain.
  9. yeah, breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi is a must for us every trip (as well as at Bouchon)
  10. Easy walk over to Best Friend for Korean at ParkMGM
  11. that's the thing, I can get the car back! Plus them paying more to me than they would have to pay the shop! It makes no sense for them either and ruins the value of my car.
  12. the shop won't do a cash deal, won't repair it, say no one that networks with GEICO can repair it. It is literally insane that an insurance company that I don't contract with can decide to ruin a car by totalling it with literally zero guidelines or guardrails. Could be $100 in damage and they can just say "totalled". Just absolute garbage.
  13. Theoretically they already should have since they will right now be paying me more to take the car than they would pay the body shop to fix the fucking thing.
  14. The problem is that is losing the value of the brand new engine with warranty, new cat converter, new fuel injection system. Minus this labyrinthine bullshit about "no one will fix your car now because reasons" $9300 plus the car >>> $12,200 total and no car.
  15. X-posting, sorry and thanks: Posting here for hope for some resolution before I choose violence. Dumbfuck scum crashes into my daughter's car in June. He's insured by GEICO. We file a claim, and everything starts great. Drop the car off, body shop says no worry of total etc. Get a call a few days later, after already making arrangements based around having the rent car for the 2 weeks they said it would take, GEICO says it's totaled. Repair bill is $9100, they say car is worth $9000. I point out that we have a brand new engine in it with a 3y, 100k mile warranty, brand new cat converter, brand new fuel injection system. They bump up to $12,200 value, which would be a $9300 payout if I take the car. They won't budge off the total decision though. Why would they rather pay me $9300 than the body shop $9100 (and probably less than that under their contract let's be honest)? No clue, other than because it fucks me. Texas law and GEICO agree that no salvage title is needed, b/c the repairs aren't "100% or more of the vehicles market value". However, body shop says they can't work on the car once it's a total loss, even without a salvage title, and what's more, neither can anyone who works with GEICO ever again. This is the biggest bunch of bullshit scam shit I have ever heard. It would be bad enough if this was under my own policy that I agreed to in the fine print. But this is this fuckstain's policy, if they don't like it, don't insure people too motherfucking stupid to not hit parked cars. Anyone have any tips or suggestions or a connection at GEICO who you can talk into not losing money just to fuck me? Or is it just self-help retribution time?

  17. I had a persimmon 3w, 5w, and Cobra Baffler 7w but never a persimmon driver.
  18. Delta pulled a new one on me yesterday - randomly moved my flight 10 minutes earlier with less than an hour notice before flight. Was very unappreciated. 10 min may not seem like much but for a pre-8am flight with two teenagers, sucked. Had never seen that before. Always assumed it was kind of the same rule as a bus - it can be late but can’t be early.
  19. For the other readers, “SG” means strokes gained and it describes where a player is gaining or losing strokes against a given benchmark. There are apps where you can compare your performance to various standards, tour pro/scratch/5 cap/10 cap etc. I have generally used 15 cap as that was my target but now that I’m passed that, may move to 10. The basic idea is that, say as a 15 cap standing on the tee of a 370 yard hole that my expected score is 5.1. I hit a drive 230 down the middle. Now that I’m in the fairway 140 out, my expected score is 4.6. I “gained” 0.5 strokes with that drive. The book “Every Shot Counts” by Mark Broadie describes it in full detail. But you don’t need to specifically grasp the science, the apps will show you the data. The two I use are Arccos and Shot Pattern. No need for two but I’m a data nerd and each does something I like that the other doesn’t so [emoji2373]. Here are some screenshots of the type of thing you can get, some pics from Arccos of my last 20 rounds, and a summary pic from Shot Pattern of a recent round and a sample pic on SP where it lists the SG for each shot (Arccos doesn’t do single shot). )
  20. Against the only possible overpair.
  21. Would highly recommend tracking with actual SG data. Number of putts per round is nearly entirely useless, and sometimes there are unexpected nuggets in the data.
  22. the round after my career-low 77, I thought I had established a new standard for myself but went out and shot a smooooooooooooth 108
  23. Agree! The UNM course is fun and inexpensive also.
