re: Today I found out people bring speakers to listen to music out on the golf course

You said you live in NOLA?
Go play a round at Joe Bart and then report back :lol:...

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.
Everyone plays music on the course, including old people.
I played at a country club that has a $160k initiation fee (not a brag I was invited by a coworker I cannot afford it). The carts had speakers built into them and all the old rich guys were blasti...
Palm Royale: Apple TV+

Anyone watch this? My wife wanted to check it out and I was skeptical based on who’s in it and the subject matter. Two episodes in and Ive gotta say I’m impressed. Kristen Wiig is actually upbeat, charismatic, and beautiful in this, I honestly keep forgetting it’s her.
Clearly the show is geare...

You stole that directly from Michael, Kim’s Twitter :cheers:

[quote]There are tiers the Tour uses to make groupings for tee times. They don't just assign whoever they want together.[/quote]
There are no hard and fast rules on this and it also only applies to certain pairings. Tournaments/PGA have a lot of control over who gets paired together Thursday/Friday...

Why did the PGA Tour not pair the Bryan Bros together?
Posted by Tiger1242 on 5/7/24 at 7:45 pm
It seems weird that they gave George Bryan a sponsors exemption into the Myrtle Beach Classic after his brother qualified due to finishing second a few weeks ago and then didn’t pair the two of them together.
I figured having the brothers play together was the whole point of giving George the exe...

[quote]Really? You think a group of athletes who depend on quick, explosive movement pared with premium hand-eye coordination (middle infielders) would have a tough time transitioning to PG/SG? Or players whose balance and explosiveness who also have ++ hand-eye coordination (hockey players) wouldn'...

This is a ridiculous take :lol:
Rivers is mostly right although there is a huge spectrum. There are a few NBA players that would transition well to football, mostly the sh...

[quote]This is pretty well stated in every shot counts. But, it’s common sense, my wife has a lot better chance of matching me or hitting a 10 ft putt closer than me than she does from 210 with water short and a bunker right.[/quote]

Telling a begginer to “start from the hole and work back” is bad advice
Posted by Tiger1242 on 5/5/24 at 3:58 pm
The old adage goes something like “that 300 yd drive you hit is worth as many strokes as that 3ft putt you missed”.
While true, I think telling beginners to work mostly on shots around and on the green and not the driver is bad advice, nothing balloons a score like poor tee shots. Nothing will g...

Meh I don’t think it’s perfect but it uses the same formula as GHIN so I imagine it’s pretty close :dunno:

???
I’d say it’s 50/50 whether I do or not. Looking at my stats I’ve done it 10 of my last 24 rounds and 3X shot 80 on the number.
So many don’t understand handicaps. It’s not an aver...

Posted by Tiger1242 on 5/4/24 at 6:39 pm
I went from a 10 last year to currently a 4.9 according to 18 birdies, I’m always trying to break 80
Biggest mental thing for me was to just not calculate my score. I right down the number after the hole then just ignore it, I don’t count up my strokes after 9 and just keep playing.
It’s defi...
