Meiomi is shite. Caymus is going the same way. Just crowd pleasers for people who want sweet fruit bombs.

There’s a guy on Instagram I ran across called “the people’s somm”. He shits on Meiomi like they owe him rent. :lol:

He has a couple of videos of him trying to recreate Meiomi Pinot with sugar and shitty wine.

I will add that I’ve had the Caymus Zin a good bit, but you have to get that through the wine club. It’s pretty good, at least the last couple I’ve had at the duck camp were tasty.

I’m a big fan of the Venge and Ridge stuff. Venge Silencio and Signal Fire, along with the Ridge Lytton Springs are what I usually will bring to a party.

En Route Pinot is damn good for that price point.

Russian River Valley is a great area for Pinot, along with Willamette Valley in Oregon.

Belle Glos has good ones in that price point. You can maybe find Merry Edwards or Gary Farrell in and around that range as well.

Yeh, that’s the best part about the RFX. Also, they’ve tested those probes inside of a Dutch oven that’s inside of a smoker and you never lose signal.

If I didn’t already have a 4 probe smoke, I’d have the RFX.

Man…. I think if they just put forth a little effort. They don’t have to do semi-private level stuff.

I mean…. Use a frickin aerator a couple times a year on the tee boxes and fairways, throw some sand. That’s basic shite. Close 2 mondays a month to get shite done? Charge $10-$20 more a round?

I say that understanding that the process entails a little more than an aerator and sand…. But I don’t think it’s a out of the question to have that at the “premier” public course in BR.

People are going to bitch no matter what. You have to do what you need to do to put forth a good product or you’re going to end up with SM being Webb and people wearing blue jeans, t shirts and discarding lung darts on greens. Of which I saw at least 7-8 on the greens at Webb. :lol:

They need to charge $5-$10 to hold a time, it can go against your green fees. I think charging something to hold a tee time will stop alot of that behavior. If you can't beat em, join em.. I guess I'm going to have to start booking a SAT and SUN AM tee time every weekend just in case I want to use it.

What you do is…. You charge for the damn tee time if they no show. If you want to hold a tee time 2 weeks out you put down a CC. If you no show, whoever has the CC down gets charged 50% of the 4somes tee times. SM only needs 48hrs to get that booked, if not only 24. To have a 4some or 2 no show on a Saturday and you not fill it is ridiculous.

shite, we do stay and plays in Biloxi a couple times a year. You can’t no show or not cancel. I think you have around 72hrs in advance or there is a fee that everyone will get charged if you can’t make it. Hell, one year a hurricane was coming up the shoot. I called the week of and was like…. We don’t want to cancel, but I mean there’s this whole hurricane deal. Ha

You can’t frick the course b/c you’re an a-hole or something came up and you can’t make the tee time. Also, the leadership can’t be fricking lazy and miss prime time tee times.

To piggy back off of an earlier post. The point of them closing one day and having them charge more is what I think a lot of people are okay with. If I drive to Copper to get on, I’ll have to pay $80 and drive to Copper. If I get invited to UClub, I have to drive out there and pay essentially $100. I drive by SM to go to both courses and pay more to play those courses. I’d pay $80 if it were in better shape or could get on before noon and not drive 35 minutes to an hour. Same could be said for the Island and Carter.

Oh yeh!

Hell yes!

St Aloysius is just down the road from there. St George isn’t too much further.

They did the same shite with me and the lady the last time we went out there.

They were already behind and he made us go with 2 chicks that shouldn’t be on a golf course. I told him we were supposed to tee off with 2 guys and we were 2 tee times behind the one he was sending us off with. He scoffed at me and said no, you go with them.

I made a comment…. But the lady was with me. It was so bad we just left those 2 girls on 8 and played by ourselves the rest of the round.

Again…. If you’re charging me damn near $80 to play, have no cart girls…. No amenities to offer for the most part.

Then put some money into the course and find some competent fricking people to keep the right people on the right tee times. As I stated earlier…. How about a little care put into the fairways and bunkers.

There’s already a walking/running path damn near around the whole property.

Since all you sum bitches got everything before I got there Saturday. I ended up with just some coffee and a sample. :lol:

I got a bag of beans from Rwanda from the Next Chapter Coffee lady. Pretty damn good stuff. I would definitely try others from her.

I won’t make it Saturday, as we are riding in the parade. I’ll have to wait one more week. :banghead:
