re: Would you give up central AC if it meant the south gets depopulated?

Posted by makersmark1 on 4/30/25 at 5:05 am

I grew up without central air or AC in cars in Alabama.

I could do it, but my wife would not so I am a NO.

Have you done head to head with Chrome tour line, ProV line, and Srixon Z star.

Or even Maxfli’s “tour” line?

Or that PXG ball?

So much good in the equipment area.

I like trying different stuff.

the bigger question for LIV is who is in line to replace these guys when exemptions run out or they just retire?

I thought they were working toward “reunification?”

As far as who they might try to get, it’s Saudi money so IF they come at somebody, it will be a big offer.

The PIF was willing to invest 1.5 billion in PGA. Deal was turned down bc they wanted to keep LIV format going and have an executive position.

The offer would have valued PGA at around 12 billion. I guess they could offer 25 billion for the whole enchilada, but it’s probably not worth it when compared to high level soccer or NFL.

Maybe they will buy college football.

If it’s “interest free” and they pay it on time, this is actually not a bad idea on the face of it.

I bet there is some “hyper” internet subreddit extolling how it is a way to stretch money for free.

If you crack one within a certain timeframe, I’ve heard most manufacturers will send you a head.

I had a friend who cracked some sort of Taylor Made driver a few years ago and they sent him one of the new heads.

So 6500-7000 hosting 4 teams.

School with be out for that I guess so are most of the tickets family/friends of players and devoted locals?

Tickets must be premium for baseball.

What is capacity?

Several.

Quincy Carter started some NFL games after UGA.

DJ Shockley

Some even in the 1980s.

Milroe looks bigger.

Does not matter.

Many teams passed on Sanders.

He will get his chance to prove them wrong.

How can the upgrade cycle be every year?

I guess I’m too cheap for this game.

We are now at $1000 for a driver with a select shaft.

What is the limit for upgrade cycle?

My current driver is 2022 Cobra LTDx.

Is it past time?

I’m an 11.6 and not a big hitter.
10/14 fairways yesterday.

What sort of distance and dispersion improvements can be expected year over year for these expensive clubs?

I’ve heard good things about “speed sticks.”

I probably need to get some.

Milroe is bigger.

I guess I’m sort of in the camp of let’s see IF he can be molded from the raw talent.

He's athletic. I’ve seen some great deep balls.

I bet they vetted many aspects of him and the other QBs available at pick 92.
Carrol liked him the best.
