Course looks like an awful golf course with cool views to me. Does a terrible job of rewarding good shots or punishing bad shots. Seems like it's a lot of luck. Rates are $200 resort guest and $250 public guest

I've always thought giving strokes in member guests leads to more sandbagging. They should be flighted and played straight up from there imo.
And the club needs to police it. Ban sandbagging guests and force the member into better flights next time

LT and Oakbourne. Public golf around Lafayette isn't good. The Farm and the Wetlands are decent public options, but tough to get a desirable tee time and not much in the way of games and social aspect you're looking for. I'd reach out to LT and OCC for the latest membership info

Probably not. Even if he doesn't agree to go full team branding and marketing like Rahm and others have, he's going to get less from under armour with less exposure, impressions, and marketability

Potgieter and Min Woo Lee
Two ball speed imposters, good riddance.
I'm doubtful MWL ever wins anything of substance, but he's extremely popular and marketable
Potgieter is still so young it's hard to count him out, but the short game needs tons of work before he's ready to compete with the top guys. The driver is a special weapon though. He'll always compete at the boring bomb and gouge set ups

Sucks that a guy who produced 2.5+ WAR for each of the last 5 years and started a world series clinching game for us has to go out like this. He's done it to himself

What sucks is our payroll is guaranteed to be pretty high the next couple years with the contracts we've given out. So ownership will want to make the team competitive and try to win. But the team is far too flawed to have a real chance to do anything other than lose in a wildcard series at best. So we'll slowly sink to the bottom and have nothing of value to sell by the time we get there instead of trading Pena, Yordan, Brown, Abreu, etc while they still have value

Correa, Walker, Altuve, McCullers on the books next year for a total over $90mm in 2026. We'll be lucky if we get positive WAR out of that group.
Yordan, Javier, and Hader on the books for another $70mm with Pena, Brown, Paredes, and Yainer getting more expensive in arbitration. Hard to see where we have any financial flexibility to add anything in 2026
Type to start selling parts while they still have value and start the rebuild

The latest Altuve extension is as bad as Montero, Abreu, and Walker contracts.

Sea Island will have better spas, rooms, restaurants and golf than pretty much everything you listed. I'd highly recommend Sea Island for something like this.
Kiawah would be great too

I'd think it would have to be this.
Here's to hoping the Framber debacle some how galvanizes this team and they play great baseball down the stretch and into October.

I'm not really worried about any of the automatic qualifiers other than maybe Xander. My biggest concern is Morikawa followed closely by JT. Both are huge names they probably won't leave at home, but both have been playing very poorly
