Seems like a strange move for On3. Rivals has been a dead site for years, it went the way of Scout.

I'd opt for a hammock but I'm biased

If the kid had even an ounce of accountability, humility, and leadership, some team would have taken the chance on him in the first round.

Would they though? What if his name was Shedeur Williams?

I think the whole epiphany that people are failing to have is that Shedeur isn't a great prospect- and the NFL doesn't care about your last name. He's a 6'1" quarterback with limited mobility with zero elite traits. He's got a .500 record in college against subpar competition. If you got dropped in from space and compared his college tape to 7th round pick Brock Purdy you would have a difficult time convincing anyone that Sanders was a better prospect.

The media pushed this narrative that he's a first round pick though, so now they get to talk about him for the next few weeks like they talked about Kaepernick for years, like some great injustice has been done.

I heard all their captains are good and we can't go wrong. Hopefully that advice is right.

I think they are all good, but some of them are a lot more fun to fish with than others. Not going to throw anybody under the bus as being a dickhead, but can say that Joseph Morgan and Dawson Wells were both a good time

Troy and Coastal aren't ahead of Alabama by any metric except for these field projections, and Alabama has beaten both head to head. Just doesn't make any sense- particularly with Coastal, it's like D1 and BA are campaigning for them to host

Man I remember when this place was $50.

Yep, but they had Hombre 2 miles east of them. There's a serious lack of competition in Bay County when it comes to golf now and the courses are taking advantage of that.

I hope that eventually the worm will turn and some of the wealthier members at Bay Point and Legacy will get on at watersound club since Shark's Tooth and Camp Creek are both operational now. They have pretty much priced out the family man/after work/saturday morning golfer.

None of my buddies or I are on food stamps, but it's hard for us to pay the prices they are asking out a principle when we know what it used to cost and we know what nice golf courses cost in other parts of the state/country. We used to play 6-8 times a month in the spring and early summer. Now when we play it's either signal hill, which is still a ripoff, or a twilight round at Bay Point.

Yep, exact recipe I used as the guideline with just some minor tweaks. Wife made me swear to make it again

I live here. It will help to know where you're staying, what type of course you enjoy.

Bay Point- usually in decent shape. Lots of water. Pretty challenging course if you aren't a great ball striker. Bring lots of balls

Legacy (Formerly Holiday) Similar length to Bay point with fewer Hazards. Greens are typically the best in Bay County. Course is well kept but lacks the character of Bay Point- I prefer it because of the aforementioned hazard situation. Both of these will be similarly priced- $120-130 range. This is just the vacation tax, they are not worth this price.

Windswept- If you're staying on the west end of the beach this is a pretty easy drive up 331 or 79. Windswept IMO is one of the nicest courses in NWFL. Always well kept, nice carts, and they have like 6 tee boxes. You can make this course PGA tour length form the tips. Much more undulating than the courses already mentioned. Will be in the same ballpark price wise. The "trouble" here is tight fairways and greens often surrounded by thick, tall sawgrass. A wayward tee shot will land in pinehurst type waste areas or the woods. A wayward approach could mean a lost ball. Some water but not a lot. Beautiful course though

Those 3 all have driving ranges.

For a more budget friendly option there is Signal Hill, between front beach and thomas drive. No driving range- pretty "easy" course that is never immaculate. Front 9 is about as straightforward as is gets, back 9 has some tougher holes with hazards. $70 to play here. Greens are pretty slow and there will be a stray weed on them. They are redoing some of their tee boxes, but realisticlly they need to redo them all. A classic "muni" type course. Played there friday morning. It's always fun, but if you're a 0-10 handicap it's probably not your cup of tea

You have Lynn Haven Country club across the bridge. Would not reccomend. It's links golf for the same price as the top 3 but not as well maintained.

There are also nice public courses in Destin if you're looking to drive an hour.

Scrambles are “won” on the greens. You’d probably be more help to your group by just practicing putting for the next 3 months. The teams that sink the long putts are the ones with the best legitimate scores.

I’m not sure what the hell Staton was looking for there, but apparently not a belt high fastball over the middle of the plate
