There is a brand new one from Shot Scope called the LM1. It's $199. Has a fairly bright screen (like 3.5" display). No simulator capabilities or anything like that but gives you the basics - ball speed, smash, carry, total, and clubhead speed. Saw some PGA Show videos on YT and this one popped up a couple of times. Its a doppler system so if you are hitting indoors, you'll need the room.

The rapsodo MLM gets pretty damn good reviews for a small, portable LM with sim capabilities. Probably the best under $1000. Mevo+ seems to be the best in the very next price tier up. But for under $200, hard to beat something for practice data if it's halfway decent on accuracy.

I did the GC3 bundle from PlayBetter. There was a coupon code for over $1000 off as well. Bought a gaming PC from Best Buy. The Play Better setup has everything but the PC. It took my about 2 hours to set it up. Love it.

I bought the unlocked version that came with a free year to GSPro. That's what I use for all of the courses. I think it's $250 a year and you can find almost any course on there.

probably, just based on the story but Ole Miss is going to the start the season with a loss to Louisville

That's my thoughts too. I think LSU/Clemson will be Gameday and then it'll be up to OM beating Louisville to get the slot for the 19th. If they lose it'll be up in the air. If both teams win games 1-2, for sure.

They have an engineering program? Damn. That's the worst school in the SEC unless you go to their accounting or law programs. I didn't even know they offered engineering. That's some bottom of the barrel engineers then.

That you are retarded? I agree.

Fire them all. This has been a cosmic failure all around. Nobody deserves to be on staff. Call an all staff meeting and tell them all to gather their personal belongings and leave.

Go back inside and put your hard hat on. My lord. This fanbase is littered with some retarded people.

We stayed at the Player and Crenshaw houses on Oxmoor property. We had 12 guys...8 in one house and 4 in the other. They shared a putting green in between. Played all of the RTJ courses there - Valley, Ridge, Backyard and Roos Bridge after driving down from The Shoals last summer for our guys trip. It was a sweet trip. Those houses are legit. I'd never stay in a hotel if there is an Oster House near the course. Well worth it. We've come to BHam twice for our summer trips and while I prefer Capitol Hill, the Oxmoor/Ross Bridge set is fantastic. The Shoals are both awesome courses. Won't go back to Hampton Cove in Huntsville. Didn't like those course very much.

How was it afterwards? Still about the same range of motion as before you ere messed up? I've got degen hip dysplasia. Shallow pelvic socket. apparently never had a good connection there and it ate away all my cartilage. Looking at getting one in the next few years. It doesn't hurt too bad right now and im not even 40 yet. Looking for general input.

My dad just had his done a couple of months ago by Jared Braud (surgeon at BROC who I went to engineering school with at LSU). He's a Cleveland Clinic fellow that uses Stryker and the Mako Robot. The Mako acquisition has been a complete game changer in total joint arthroplasty. I could not recommend it enough. My pops is 70 and approximately 10 weeks post-op. He's been driving for several weeks now, hasn't used a cane or need pain meds in forever. He needed it done due to a fall that caused a femoral neck fracture so it wasn't just due to a degenerative condition. He had his knee on the same side done a few years ago by Braud. Went well and has been rock solid in terms of ROM, functionality and pain relief.

I work in this industry for a medical device company. We work with some of the biggest arthroplasty surgeons in the US and I consulted with 3 of them prior to my dad's joint replacements. More so than anything, make absolutely certain that the surgeon you pick does hundreds of hips a year and has used his current system north of 80-100 times. You do NOT want to be a guinea pig for a new (to them) hip/knee system. The tried and true companies/implants can last a long time and success is almost always driven by the surgeon's skill - hips have a fantastic success rate because its a constrained joint. I think very highly of the Mako system but Zimmer Biomet and DePuy are also great systems that have robots now (although they are inferior to Mako). A poster earlier mentioned problems with Exactech...stay far away. They recently filed for bankruptcy. They are way down on the pecking order for orthopaedic implants (their specialty is revision implants anyway, which you hope to never have to go through).

I've had mine for 4+ years. Won't go back to a traditional one.

I’m not sure how to find someone to get us on Diamanté.

You could always just call the pro shop and tell them you are coming up there for a trip and wanted to see if there was any way that you could play. If you or your other buds are members at a club, have the pro call. Otherwise, it wouldn't hurt to just call and ask. They weren't terribly busy when we went so I think they could squeeze a tee time in if they wanted to.

Just had our annual guys trip there. Played 2 rounds at GB, 1 at Preserve and the other at Shell Landing. Fallen Oak was closed for like 8 weeks before I booked the trip but we still went to Biloxi anyway.

It was the week of the tropical threat (July 16-20) so the Friday round was cart path only and that really sucked. But that Sunday was fine. Greens were very good. Didn't see any issues. Shell had punched several weeks prior and they were healed. Preserve punched two weeks prior and they were brutal. Very tough to putt on them. It was our first time playing Grand Bear and I was impressed. There was a girl in the pro shop so I missed the big guy delight - thankfully.

We had a cart girl out there too. Just an FYI - although it was easy to swing in the shop at the turn.
