[quote]Great first day. Glad to see a major at a great golf course with risk/reward and contouring like Pinehurst. Not the bland birdie race we saw at Valhalla[/quote]
Low score wins.
I’m not enamored with a shot 1 yard off line being punished more than one 20 yards off line.
I don’t think...

[quote]Good lord OP. Do you really think espn/anc doesn’t have right of first refusal in the current contract when that happens?[/quote]
I think that’s why we don’t have a ninth game now.
Media rights wanted the extra inventory without a plus up to the league. The league said, “we will stay at...

So 1 and 2 play this year.
How do they adjudicate IF there are multiple 11-1 or 10-2 teams for a spot?
Is it predetermined by a series of measurements like point differential or game control? Turnover margin? Yardage differential in conference games?
Or is it selection by poll ?...
re: Breaks my heart to watch Phil shoot 41 on first 9 at US Open

Golf is hard.
He’s won 6 majors if I remember correctly.
Guys got a gambling problem, but I don’t think he’d be bad to play a round of golf with except my lack of ability might be a disappointment for both of us....

re: if you had to come up with $1M in cash
Posted by makersmark1 on 6/14/24 at 6:55 am
1. Sell stocks, but the taxes would blow.
2. Cash in retirement, I’m over 59.5 so no penalties I guess. Taxes still blow.
3. Sell house. No mortgage now, but I’d have to live somewhere....
re: What interest you most this coming football season and are you excited?
Posted by makersmark1 on 6/14/24 at 5:26 am
I like the idea of knowing the game times earlier or at least the windows.
Hopefully Georgia being on at 330 a bunch will empty the golf course and I can get a bonus round in on many Saturdays....

It’s more than that for the locals.
The old Augusta families are well represented. There are also several doctors locally who are members.

re: Who in here follows the "FIRE" mindset when it comes to money?
Posted by makersmark1 on 6/14/24 at 5:11 am
When you FI, then you can choose whether you want to “work” or not.
Unfortunately, I’ve got to work until 1 March 2025. Then I am FI. I may do some “work” after that, but I’ll have FU money so I don’t have to work for or with a$$holes...

I use a TM Tour Response golf ball.
I tee it where about half the ball is above the top.

Yes, it is adjustable.
The shaft was “pured”.

[quote]Do you want a shorter shaft to help with accuracy?[/quote]
I hit most fairways, but my misses can be putrid.
I thought maybe swinging a shorter shaft might lead to square contact more often.
Today I hit 10/14 fairways so not bad.
Two bad misses. One with just poor contact, the ot...
