re: Banshee Ending - One of the best ever?

Great show and I didn’t mind the over the top stuff at all the show never pretended to be anything it wasn’t.
The only thing I ever questioned is how often Hood got his arse absolutely kicked and still won the fight and didn’t die or become crippled :lol:
I did appreciate that they at least showed him laid out in bed with ice and stitches afterwards :lol:

Honestly, people like this probably don’t know any better. I used to think they were all assholes too until I started “coaching” middle and high school golf at a low level of mostly newcomers.
These kids will hit directly into someone ahead of them, try and hit a ball over someone’s head, walk directly in line with the green while their playing partner is playing, or hit while the group ahead of the is walking off the green. I was standing next to a cart talking to my high school aged manager last week and a ball came head height right past my face and slammed into the cart she was sitting in, nobody even said fore or apologized.
These kids aren’t assholes, they legitimately don’t know what they’re doing until me or whoever is teaching them tells them it’s bad etiquette or unsafe or whatever, and then they start to play the right way. (They are also mostly very bad at golf so hit a lot of errant shots :lol:)
What I’m saying is you don’t know what you don’t know, and with so many adults now who are new to golf, it’s likely no one in their life ever taught them basic golf etiquette when they were younger and they actually don’t know that what they are doing is rude or unsafe.

I didn’t realize that was the season finale, not a lot of closure in that episode but I guess it leaves everyone in a good spot going into the next season.
I wonder if they had a different finale filmed in case it got bad reviews and ended after one season? Like a 10th episode that wraps everything up.
I’ll be honest I kind of expected the season to end with Dr. Cox dead….
One thing about the shortened season is that recurring jokes don’t hit the same way they did in the original. You can’t drop a stupid one liner into an episode and then bring it up 15 episodes later like they did in the OG, I guess that’s why they mostly recycled old inside jokes. Good season though as far as reboots go.

re: Average score for masters champ since 1990 is -11. Why do we say its an impossible course?

The setup at ANGC is purposefully done to allow for some scoring opportunities. There is also a lot of year over year course knowledge that comes into play. It's not surprising that those with experience with the course tend to do better.They don't want the course to be un-gettable like the US Open, but a significant challenge where you have to optimize your chances. They want birdies on the back 9 on Sunday, they want scoring to define the tournament. There is essentially no rough there and they are known to do things like cut back branches on trees and take down limbs so that windows are open on errant tee shots. Will they be punished if you're off line? For sure; but they invite players to take the risk.
If they wanted to tune the course up like it was a US Open and fry the greens, grow foot high rough and bring in the fairways to 20 yards wide, there would be absolute carnage there. That's not what they want and the result is you get to see a competition of ability instead of who gets the best breaks.
This is a long arse post just to say you agree with me

I promise you a 5 handicap is going to 4 putt or worse most of the holes at Augusta if you start them at the farthest point away from the pin on each green.
This on its own is a ridiculous statement, also you change the parameters. Whoever said they had to start at the furthest point away? I always assumed the hypothetical was just a random spot.

He won’t have to if he starts on the green…

Do you think the 4 scratch golfers are going hold the 232 yard par 3 fourth hole on the correct quadrant of the green?
Maybe not but they’ll have 4 chances at whatever putt or chip they have and then 4 more at whatever they have left for par. Cut line was +4 btw

Look I’m not saying it’s easy at all don’t hear what I’m not saying.
But all these hypotheticals about a 5 handicap winning if he starts on the green or could a 4 person scramble of scratch golfers make the cut etc are dumb.
Augusta has done a great job of upping the mystique of their course and it’s obviously incredibly maintained, but we don’t need to pretend like it’s borderline suicide to try and play for the average golfer. It’s an amazing event and incredible course that the pros can score pretty well on.

re: This Masters will be looked back on as the end of LIV

Your post is basically the point I’m making. The league is irrelevant now and the few guys they have who are supposed to be world class let them down big time this weekend while the stars of the PGA tour dominated the event
This Masters will be looked back on as the end of LIV
Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/12/26 at 6:22 pm
I’m not necessarily a LIV hater but I think this tournament was the death knell.
Despite Tyrell Hatton’s attempt, LIV players did poorly overall, and Sergio’s meltdown will be terribly perceived. Add to that with the fact that Patrick Reed and Brooks Koepka did pretty well, it was an overall pretty bad showing for LIV
Couple that with Rory going back to back and Scottie being second. Finally add in Jon Rahms comments about preparation, I think LIV is done and this tournament was the turning point.

I almost exclusively use my 9i on those situations so I don’t overshoot it like Rory’s doing.
Seems like maybe you should start using the 8 :dunno:
My children liked it a lot which is the sole reason I went to see it so that’s a win.
Starfox being in it was awesome I’ve been quoting all the stupid sayings from the video games since the movie and no one in my house has any idea wtf I’m talking about when I say “Can’t let you do that, Star Fox” or “Peppy! Long time no see”

I’ll see your James Buchanan and raise you Franklin Pierce.
all the things you said about Buchanan can be said about Pierce except Pierce was first. He refused to really do anything about the spread of slavery either way and allowed partisans in Congress to run amuk in a moment when the country desperately needed a unifying figure.

What is Bryson Dechambeau’s deal? (Personal life)
Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/9/26 at 8:07 am
None of my business really but I don’t remember ever seeing him with a girlfriend, or any rumors of him dating, or hell any rumors of him having any actual friends or a social circle.
Seems like he’s always hanging out with celebrities or YouTube guys now, but those aren’t real friends.
I’ve really liked getting an insight into his thought process and the way he prepares and works as a professional. But he’s either really good at keeping his actual personal life a secret, he’s gay, or he’s such a weird guy nobody wants to spend any real time with him.

Thanks for the replies, seems like I’ll probably give it a go.
Would you say it is in better condition than a course like Cooper Mill or Beaver Creek? These guys won’t care too much about difficulty but things like smooth greens, good practice facilities, well manicured fairways, and a nice clubhouse will make an impression

Tell me about The Island in Plaquemine
Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/8/26 at 8:38 am
Looking to play a semi-nice public course within 30-40 minutes from Baton Rouge. I know there aren’t a ton of great options, how does The Island compare to other options like Beaver Creek and a Copper Mill, each of which I’ve played dozens of times, but I’ve never played The Island.
Is there another nicer public course within 30-40 mins from Baton Rouge I should play instead (I’m not playing Greystone FYI).

Add a few strokes to my score when putting in my GHIN as public courses always move the tees up on weekends for pace of play.
:lol: glad to know I’m not the only one that does this. It feels a little like cheating the system, but if I ever need to roll the ball away from dirt in the fairway or a sand pit on the green, or if I ever scoop a 2-3 footer to get out of the way of a random I’m playing with who’s putting for triple, I always add a few strokes to the GHIN. Same with playing a course that has you playing significantly closer than what’s on the scorecard as you said.

I’m trying to keep this thread about ways you have to change your game when playing a crappy muni, NOT about the people you see or bad etiquette you deal with, that’s a different thread.
Living in north texas a big one for me is laying up in the rough on purpose or b preferring to chip out of the rough opposed to the fairway in order to get a better lie. Shorter grass on a poorly maintained course can mean rock hard ground that is impossible to get a club underneath and makes chipping and wedge shots particularly difficult. Finding some rough on a bad course can help tremendously by giving you some cushion and allowing you to actually use the bounce of your wedge
