Why are you stocking up on water, is your tap water no good, you live in Mexico?
I've never understood this.

The same goes for me. It's good, I was entertained and I'd recommend people go see it but i liked the 1st one better.

We the taxpayers should not be handing over money to Harvard or any other Private university. They have a $53.2 billion endowment. Let them fund their own research and whatever else they want to fund.
If you don't mind spikeless shoes, OluKai Wailea shoes are great. I have a pair and walk regularly. My feet have stayed dry when playing in the rain, early morning dew and after a monsoon rain storm. To top it off, they are the most comfortable golf shoe I've ever worn. There is no heel to the shoe, they are flat which I have grown to like.

re: Advice for 6 year old son

No lessons yet, wait till around 10 or so. If I were you, I'd start playing so you can have fun learning with him. I play with my son, whose 18 and a Senior in high school, and it is the most fun thing I do. We have fun kidding each other and it's something you can do with him for the rest of your life. He's a 2 handicap and I'm a 10 so he beats me regularly so I give him a hard time when I play my best and beat him which is 1 out of every 10 or 15 rounds or so. He also has 2 hole in ones and I don't have any and I've been playing for 40 years.

As far a clubs are concerned, buy a Kid USA set of clubs. You can buy them online or at Edwin Watts. I would buy him ones with the grip that puts your hand in the somewhat correct spots. It looks like this and the club lengths and weight are done by height so measure him and buy accordingly.

Taking my son and a few of his buddies on a golf trip to Myrtle Beach for his HS graduation trip. What are some recommended things to do and places to eat while we aren't golfing?

Since your a high handicap player, this is what i recommend. If you want new irons, Takomo 101's, cheap but very good, if not, go to Edwin Watts and buy a used set of player improvement irons, Taylormade Qi, stealth. Callaway Elite, Paradym, Srixon ZX4, something along those lines. A(gap)wedge- 6 after that use either hybrids 4-5 or fairway woods 7-9. Use a strong 5 wood, you don't need a 3 wood. You can still buy a brand new Taylormade Sim2max for $299, it's a great club and it's new, used buy anything that is a couple years old and in good shape. Buy new sand and lob wedges, you don't want those to be used, the grooves get worn out. If I were you, I'd buy the Cleveland Smart Sole full face wedges. They will be easier for you to hit, the sole of the clubs are wide and will help you not dig into the ground with the leading edge. If you want to spend some money on a club, buy a LAB putter, I have the DF3, it's expensive $450 but it's the best money I've spent on a club in years, you can find used ones a little cheaper.
You don't need to get fitted yet, you don't make contact with the ball good enough for the fitter to find something worth spending big money on. Spend the money on lessons and then practice. Once you start shooting in the mid 80's regularly, then think about getting fitted for a custom set of clubs.
Not sure, I've never played Kirklands
I'm a 9 hcp and normally play Maxfli Tour X but I bought some of the Sam's Club Members Mark balls, they were 2 dozen for $27.99. They weren't bad for a little over $1 per ball. I only played 9 and it was chilly and raining so I am going to play a few more rounds with them to really get a feel for them. If they aren't too different, it would be hard to pass up for the price, They were a little firmer than what I thought they would be but that could be because it was in the low 50's.
My nephew went last year and I asked him to get 2 shirts, one for me and one for my son and 2 ball markers. They were the Masters Dri-Tech and were $100 a piece and the ball markers were $10 for a total of $220. He said the Peter Millar shirts were around $200, I said go with the Dri-Tech :rotflmao:

Where does it say that? It says that he was brought forth in inequity, or immoral behavior and conceived in sin. One could infer that he was conceived in a sinful relationship outside of marriage.
Either way, in the big scheme if things, it doesn't really matter. Jesus is still Lord of all!

They got David wrong from the outset. They made him an illegitimate child.


Psalms 51:5- Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.

It's not out of the realm of possibility according to this verse.

In my opinion, there were some liberties taken with the story but the overall message was good. Is there anything in the TV adaptation that will cause a person stumble with their walk in Christ and fall away, I don't think so. The Chosen is similar to this, they don't make any huge egregious accusations or make Jesus and his disciples look like a fool or portray them in a manner in which will cause someone to stumble or not come to know Christ.
Now if they made Jesus or Davis out to be some kind of wimp or someone who is completely contrary to their character, then I would have a huge problem, but overall, In my opinion, they aren't terrible and are worth the watch.

It's what type of pitches that are being thrown. The high velocity high spin rate cutters, splitter, sweepers and breaking pitches are what's doing it. Not so much the high velocity straight fastballs and changeups.
