The student who threw the ball on the field totally changed the momentum of the game and I believe got the team rallying. Just my 2 cents. Geaux Tigers

I gave my brother my old 46" Samsung that's a 2006 model. It has been sitting in storage forever. My brother put it up outside and it still works. It's almost 20 years old. Picture is as good as new ones, only thing is RF rate is low, but overall a great TV. I think I paid 2200 back ?? n 06 for it... crazy!

I could not really say as I've never hit any of the previous models. I played with a guy the other day who has the previous version and he loved them. I've got 2 rounds with mine...I was stupid and didn't do range time so my distances are off. I'm going dial in this weekend on range. Love the clubs though, feels good to be compressing the ball easier again

re: Zero turn mowers, what's the best out there?

Posted by gplayerjr on 4/20/25 at 8:06 am

I used to run a power sports store and we sold the Spartan brand. Commercial build quality, great engine choices. I've sold 3 to good friends that all run them at their camps. The 40 hp unit does 18 mph while cutting, son of a gun even has wheelie tires on the back. That unit is a tank, has the Vanguard motor. They come with either Kawasaki, Briggs or Vanguard motors. All of the suggestions are great advice and all offer unique features and benefits. We sold a bunch of the Spartans, unfortunately we just never caught up with the market and we let the brand go. Hard to sell mowers in a power sports store.

I did mine with golfballs.com in Lafayette. Gene is the man there, been knowing him since way back Acadian Hills days. Fitting is way to go, clubs cost so much now that it makes no sense to buy a new set of clubs without a proper fitting. I was shocked at all the different shaft options. Craziest part is I went from dynamic gold S300 to DG X 100 tour issue. I couldn't believe it, was swinging the 7 iron at 93 mph, he said yeah, you're a X shaft all day. Once he put that shaft in I was sold. I even jokingly accused him of beefing up the trackman to "sell mode". ??

I'm about a 10. I haven't kept a handicap in years, dunno why? I currently play Mizuno MP 54's. I just can't compress them like I used to, I just got to the big 51 in age and have lost a few mph in speed. The TM were so easy to hit. I would definitely try a fitting session. I went in wanting Mizunos again, would be my fourth set. Fitter took the JPX out of my hands and put the 790's and I was striping it. Great shot dispersion. Clubs should be in today! Woohoo!

I just ordered the new 25 TM P790's. Couldn't believe the difference in my #'s vs my gamer Mizunos. I didn't even want to like the TM, but couldn't walk away from the numbers I was putting up. Shot dispersion was like I was a youngster again, very tight window. Can't wait for them to get here

My old 2000 Toyota 4 Runner limited...if was a 4x4 I'd still have it. Dam thing wouldn't get out of its own shadow...many memories dragging my old pontoon boat with that sled.

re: Back surgery Round 2, anyone else?

Posted by gplayerjr on 3/6/25 at 5:06 pm

I've had 3 in last 20 years. 1st was a laminectomy in 99 then had to go DBL fusion 7 years later after another auto accident. Had the 3rd surgery to clean up scar tissue back in 18. Been doing pretty good so far, get the occasional jolts and spasms, but if you keep weight down, do proper stretching, and get good sleep you should buy yourself some extra time.

re: Did you have a Swatch Watch?

Posted by gplayerjr on 3/6/25 at 4:55 pm

A few years back a buddy of mine bought one at the Houston airport. He had forgot his and we were going to Costa Rica. I'll be damn he wears that thing every time we go on vacation now, calls it his travel watch...and the guy has a couple of Rolex's and and a few other high end watches.

I miss my old swatch watch

re: The UTV/ATV/SxS market has completely lost it's mind regarding pricing!

Posted by gplayerjr on 1/15/25 at 11:59 am

Not to be an arse, but you're not getting any heat much less a/c in that 20k price point. I was in the business for 5 plus years. Like all have stated, boats, sxs, and ATV's have gone crazy in price over last few years. And yes, there's many not so sharp folks out there paying over 450 month on them and for 8 years on big ticket sxs! It's insane. I'm glad I got out of that business, started to feel bad for all of the bad decisions people were making, although I made a very good living at it. Sorry so long, but my take
