  1. Trees in the middle of the fairway. Bunkers in the middle of the fairway. False edges on greens which over penalize anything less than really good shots. Greens seem inconsistent, although that could just be horrible putting. That would be my main issues.
  2. Gotta hope for some choking from Shimp.
  3. I think that's right. Btw, this course is a terrible design. Pretty much what I would expect from Arkansas.
  4. As noted above, this is incorrect. In fact, it came down to 18 and part of the reason JS won was that JT nearly whiffed a chip shot in heavy rough. I think Jordan made a longish putt too to close it out.
  5. Played as the final song for my wedding reception and several of my buddies too. Funny it's not even the 2nd best cover on that album. Two Girls is better. Ziggy Stardust is the best. Went down a rabbit trail last night and just amazed at the quality of music they produced for so long. Saying that as someone who already considered them one of my top 5 bands. If you like Jimmy, check out Clocker Redbury & Dusty Slosinger. Greatness.
  6. Matt singing this entire album would be pretty incredible. I love the songs. His voice is an instrument and they've taken that away here. Why is he backing someone else? Make another band if you want to do that.
  7. And that isn't meant to say I hate female singers. Just doesn't fit.
  8. Hate the female vocals. Great Album. Weird dichotomy. I literally hate the female vocals. I love the lyrics.

    The Gourds

    If you ever went to a Gourds concert during the 90s/00s and some drunk dumbass kept yelling for Grave on a Green Hillside, that was me. I've been to probably 30+ Gourds shows. I heard them play this one time live. I love it. Orpheus on a postcard. Indeed, meeting me, in a green field. Meeting me in the dark field.
  10. I love those Nutriagrain bars. Tasty.
  11. fixed for accurate reporting
  12. So it's not her breast milk? Count me out.
  13. So you are saying the limited had the same tuning as the Raptor?
  14. Sony wh1000mx3 is what I got 6 months ago. You can get them for $300 or so now.
  15. Badass, Hook 'Em Horns! Light that Tower!
  16. When I bought some about 6 months ago the general consensus was that the Sony's were the best and the sound cancelling had surpassed the Bose. I've been happy with them.
  17. He wore flowers the other day but they weren't Roses. I've always liked Rose. He was a phenom and had a ton of pressure when he was a teenager. Struggled and fought back to be one of the best in the world. Needs to fix those shirts though.
  18. Danny Lee swings like he's in a long drive contest.
  19. Rose probably has a solid round today and I could see DJ making a bit of a run.
  20. I love Faldo. Can't wait for Spieth and Koepka in the final round. I think BK plays pretty consistent and shoots 1-3 under. JS could go 76 or 64.
  21. Koepka is just a monster. The club looks like a small stick in his hands. Crazy that someone with that size can have that much control. Having him and JS in the final round the last couple days of this would be awesome. I don't think they necessarily like each other. Their playing styles are completely different. The mental game, while certainly in Brooks' favor now is typically a strength for Jordan in the past. Justin Rose's shirt confused me.
  22. He didn't play on the PGA tour for a while. Now he focuses on majors.
  23. Had a few Suburban's and just got tired of the "meh" service. Upgraded to the Escalade XL and its a piece of shit. Service isn't much better than Chevy. I prefer the look of the Suburban to the GMCs but I guess its worth looking at them. The Expedition seems to be about $80k mostly fully loaded. Navigator is about $100k. Suburban is $75-85k. Next question is, sell me on leasing versus buying. Obviously an upgraded car every three years and lower overall payments are nice benefits. Financially, I haven't looked at it versus buying and seems like most of the good lease deals require 10% down up front which can be significant for an $80k+ car and its a recurring charge every 3 years and you never own the car. We typically keep cars for 7-8 years. 3 cars currently, 1 car payment (the Escalade) which we bought used and can sell for $6-8k more than we owe on it currently. But probably can sell for $20k+ in a couple years after its paid off. We don't put a ton of miles on our cars - 10k per year for the Escalade, 7k/year for my car. So that benefits the lease price but also the potential re-sale value. Seems like buying used with low miles is the best financial decision. Leasing is increasingly popular, which makes me think its an increasingly bad idea for the consumer. TLDR Version Used>New>Lease? or Lease>Used>New?
  24. They are definitely expensive as shit. Basically 90-100k which is crazy. Definitely have to go with the larger size though which cuts out anything Tahoe-sized and the MB. With 2 dogs and two kids and going to the beach regularly, we need the "trunk" space. When I went to the dealer, he said that 2nd role console could be removed. Does the Expedition Max Platinum or whatever come with the Raptor engine? That might be a more reasonable option. At least in the 70-80k range. Struggling with the concept of $100k for a car unless its a high-performance Porsche or something like that. But a fucking Lincoln?
  25. Recently sat down at a bar to grab some food before boarding a flight that was delayed. Guy next to me was FUCKED UP. Belligerent and just a complete ass to the bartender and stumbling drunk. He ends up getting on my plane and started the same shit. I figured shit was going to get ugly, but the pilot came out and they had him removed and he went along with it. I thought I'd end up with some great video of a drunk oilfield guy getting the shit beat out of him by airport security. I ended up with nothing. But at least our flight wasn't delayed any more than it already was. Well handled by the stewardesses and pilots. Popo probably would have shot him. And themselves, and a few passengers. And any dogs in cargo.
