shoulder tendinopathy.


Talked to a very good junior coach from Charleston SC about this (re: my daughter is a high school freshman and she is using Stack). We discussed speed training in younger kids and he said use The Stack but hang a wet towel down to hit into. It eliminated the shoulder issues he was seeing with his students. So that's what we do with my daughter. No shoulder pain to speak of at this time so maybe he was right. It made sense to me that we are accustomed to hitting "something" in a swing and not just making wild swings in air.

re: Kiawah- Ocean Course

Did this trip a few years ago. Played Ocean twice, Osprey and Turtle. Ocean Course is quite the experience...if you get a chance, have dinner in the clubhouse restaurant at sunset. It's spectacular.

Osprey, to our group, was way better than Turtle Point. The caddies for both rounds at The Ocean Course said Cougar is the third best course behind Ocean and Osprey. All agreed that Oak Point was 5th on the list. Of course, all of that is subjective. You'll enjoy it regardless.
While I believe that Tiger's is the most viewed, I gotta go with Mize's chip on 11. While not as hard as the chip would be with the current shape of 11 around the green, the thing that is so iconic is that Norman was on the green putting for birdie. Given Norman's history at Augusta as we know it now, it was just another gut punch to him. He lost the '86 Masters with a bogey at 18 to Jack. Then Mize's kick to the nuts. He had to be thinking a two putt would be good odds to win. That list of shots were all iconic but Mize's actually won the tournament.

Mevo will do well then. For that price range, it's almost impossible to beat.

Sounds like he has room but because you mentioned SkyTrak - the Mevo is doppler/camera hybrid and needs more room than the camera based systems. I think you need 8-10' behind the ball and 8-10' of flight (plus radar enabled balls for accurate data). I'm more space limited so I went with the GC3 (probably would have regardless because its such a good unit). At that price point, the Mevo+ is legit but just wanted to make sure you had the appropriate space for it.

I’m having flashbacks of Coach O’s death spiral. I’m not saying we are there just that sometimes it happens. I’m trying to have the most positive outlook possible. Things should get better.


This is why the rant constantly makes message board geniuses. Holy hell what a dumbass take. If you can't see the difference between the best baseball coach in America and Ed O, then you probably need to stop watching sports.

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.
If you can't get on Diamante (best in the Village), then Granada and Isabella are the two best there (in that order). Granada is a great gold course. After that, some personal preference. I actually enjoyed Ponce De Leon and Cortez. We skipped Balboa to play Granada a second time.

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.

I think the guy is a great coach and someone we needed to keep!


Is it just our fanbase that does this...team has the worst offense in modern LSU history yet our fans want to keep most of the staff in place. Just idiotic. We hire the best offensive mind in the game...but nah, lets keep Cortez - a guy that doesn't recruit worth a damn and has the most insane WR rotations ever. Make it stop.

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.

Unlike LSU, Ole Miss still requires an ACT to be taken, and does have a minimum qualifying score.


The minimum score must be 12 because their admission rate is 97%. That's basically admitting anyone that can stroke a check.

OM Alum Engineers


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.
Wut? I've killed dozens of deer with 30.06. It's my primary rifle. I've killed deer within 50 yards up to 400. It is one of if not the most popular caliber rifles used in hunting deer in the country. I'm sure all the hunters are just doing it wrong according to our resident expert.

Report back. I noticed those reviews too


I've play both the Chrome Tour X and Chrome Tour Triple Diamond. Both are fantastic balls. The X is similar in performance to the Pro V1x and the TD is basically the Cally version of the Left Dash. I found the TD to spin more with the irons and feel softer than Left Dash. If you have good club head speed, you can use it. MyGolfSpy's ball test showed it being the longest ball for high AND low swing speed off the driver. The X is long but definitely high launching and drops and stops on the greens. I love that ball. Has great greenside spin as well so adjust accordingly if you use it.

The Chrome Tour balls are very durable. Callaway knocked it out of the park with this lineup.
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.

Found the Stryker rep


Nah...I'm an engineer for a biologics company. Just a big believer in the tech - know too many joint surgeons that echo that same sentiment. Even had a doctor in Denver that I know who fought the idea of a robot system for years and gave in. Said that objectively speaking, his patients are doing better, faster than before. Rosa and Velys are good robots too. My best piece of advice was the part about making sure your sugeon does a significant amount of joints every year and that he/she is extremely familiar with the one you get implanted.
