yes, they have not had much issues getting the OK to record Wesley. I dont know if there is a hard cutoff somewhere but you wont find any vids of the top50 or so on a PGA course, even from proam.[/quote]
I noticed they allowed footage of Wesley swinging too. I'd be kind of interested in ...

re: Do you ever layup/hit into the rough intentionally for a softer lie?
Posted by BenDover on 4/22/24 at 3:58 pm
I did whenever I first started playing and didn't know yet that it's not a good idea to try to help the ball into the air with your irons/wedges. But also, when I first started playing, I was aiming for the golf course from the tee and I was lucky if I found my ball in the rough.
Those shorter s...

I was on the other side of this scenario about a month ago. Wife wanted a white Yukon like every other suburban white woman in this world and it was really hard to find. Ended up finding one about 3.5 hours away, salesman was actually honest though and told us someone had already put a deposit on it...
re: Thoughts on Rahm's Masters Dinner?
Posted by BenDover on 3/20/24 at 9:41 am
I think I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate Rahm's selections. I'd be the dude with a menu like below and snobs would hate me
- Wedge salad with buttermilk vinaigrette (similar to Perry's)
- Bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers stuffed with cream cheese
- 10oz Wagyu Ribeye served with grilled ...

Gotcha, thanks! My club must be on the non-baw list, we didn't get word on it. I did google it and saw some clubs had info on their websites for their members and I thought about using their link and shipping to my house but I felt shady doing that :lol:.
I'll wait for that 3/15 posting. ...

At the end of the day, there's still a large gap between ProV1/x and everyone else, imo. The 2021 TP5/x balls were awful (relative to $$ and expectations) but the newly released ones are supposed to have taken a big step in the right direction. I haven't hit them yet so I won't judge the new version...

re: Will Nabers be picked before Harrison Jr?

It's kinda weird how so many people are treating this as some mutually exclusive scouting report. They're both elite prospects and talents. I like Odunze's profile too.
Kinda reminds me of Keenan Allen a bit. Not that Odunze is a slot guy, but in the sense that they're both crafty and have a lit...

I'm headed there to play the Champions course on the 16th and the Stadium Course on the 17th with the grandstands still up. Bought the package at a DU banquet and really excited about that. Tried getting away to be there for the tournament few days before but wasn't able to pull it off at work. ...

[quote]Well, I obviously wasn’t talking about all of the players from the start. Since they’ve implemented the no-cut limited field signature events, they’ve done a pretty good job of keeping their top guys in place. A lot of guys actually had “talks” with LIV and decided to stay [/quote]

I had Safeco auto coverage for 2 cars, just my wife and I. 1st year was (monthly) $225, 2nd year, $265, 3rd year $296. Their quote to renew us this time was at $396. Not a single ticket or accident during that time.

re: Getting fitted with a bad swing

There may be some experts who can chime in on this topic, but until then I'll share my anecdotal .02 cents. When I started, I had the same thought process as you (which very well might be the true right way to do it). So, I worked on my game until I got to ~12 handicap and went to get fitted while I...
