I've seen too many groups where both carts drive to the first ball, the guy plays it, and then both carts drive to the next ball, and they play like that all round. Each cart needs to drop off their first guy at their ball, then the 2nd guy drives to his, the first guy hits and should start walking towards the cart and then the cart drives to pick him up after the 2nd guy hits. Its really not that hard. Its cart golfers knew how to manage their pace of play more efficiently we wouldn't have this problem.


Got stuck behind not one by two groups like this at Oak Harbor last week. They would all congregate for every single shot. First group the marshall got them and we played through. Second group we caught up to on 16 and they were completely clueless

Can we decide on a shade of blue and stick to it? Maybe, I dont know, the one that's on our flag :dunno:
Also big thing to consider is that next summer US Soccer is changing the age groups - so instead of all girls born in the year 2016 being in the same age group, the cutoff date will now be August 1st. So whatever age group your daughter will be competing in this fall and next spring, with her late birthday she will stay in that same age group for another year
Gio has been told to find a new club by Dortmund. So if he is out it is because he is doing that and not playing in that tournament IMO
Lovely first touch on that entry pass

I wonder how many balls end up in that pond each week on that hole :lol:
For me Cam is Dollar General Jameis
I have finally gotten the feel and the swing path of being more in to out and neutral with the driver. However I am still struggling to have those same feels/results with the irons and woods

Hole 4 and Oak Knoll. Just the one hole. For those that have never experienced it, it’s a blind 220 yd shot into a green with a 20 foot drop off on the rear into bushes. It’s blind because there is literally a ridge that runs across the middle of the hole. The best part is there is an inverted mirror that you have to look up thru to make sure the green is clear before you hit. No reference point, nothing to aim. Just hit and hope for the best.


Plus the green is turtlebacked so you have to run it up there with the just the right amount of speed. Such a dumb hole
Malik also returned from injury this weekend

No one wants to give the front office credit when they do something right; but this is true. I don't know "how many UDFA’s we’ve hit on",


Not here bashing just to bash but those UDFA's are more fliers than anything. If they REALLY thought those guys were that good, they would have drafted them so nobody else would have a chance to sign them

Makes you wonder why Dest didn't make that ridiculously large preliminary nations league roster we submitted. We had to have known he was close to returning right?

Been basically learning from the beginning over the last 4 years. It's amazing how you really need to correct one thing until moving onto the next. My main issue for years was getting my weight forward properly in the swing. Now my weight distribution is second nature I can finally now concentrate on coming more in to out and get rid of the steep swing.

With that said its just more consistent ball striking especially as I get past 7 iron into longer clubs. Really hoping this year I can turn the corner and being more in to out/neutral and have more consistent strikes off the fairway
