  3. ... I would not wish the Trestman era on any football fans, having a defense that has traditionally been the cornerstone of great Bears teams that gave up the worst numbers in franchise history. Trading for a franchise QB in Jay Cutler and never giving him the Line or defense to succeed as well as changing the offensive scheme every single year but one was a recipe for failure. But those really rough years, getting beat 9 out of 10 time by the Lions and our most hated rivals the Packers owning the Bears, made this year so very sweet. The excitement could not be higher because we are coming off 8 years of all time lows. It is a great time to be a Bears fan, unlike 1986, a year after a dominating Super Bowl win when many fans were disappointed in a 14-2 season and a loss to Washington in the playoffs. Losing is and always has been necessary to truly appreciate winning.

    UPDATE: my SIL passed away this morning at 3:30am. They did a test yesterday and she had no brain activity, so they took her off the ventilator around 5pm. My wife and her brother were there with her all weekend. My wife is OK with it; she accepted that it was the best for her. Her brother is not doing as well. It will take time. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It's great to have friends like you to help get through these trying times. You're the best!!

    I agree completely. Saw it out of the corner of my eye and was able to get on the brakes so just really nicked it. Girls weren't with me, nor was my wife, and considering everything, I'll take it. Cars can be replaced.

    Happy thread

    This one isn't about making me happy it's about making my dad happy. My mom is leaving in a few days to head to Columbus to spend Christmas with my sister for a week. My mom and I knew my dad needed a new cell phone so we bought one for him as his gift. I gave it to him tonight since I'm home from work and my mom is around. I'm not one for Christmas gifts especially since I normally end up working so it was nice to see him smile about getting something he really wanted.

    Riding vs. Walking

    ... Great deal. I have a remote cart and it is almost like having a caddy. I have had a remote cart since 95 after my first back surgery but unfortunately early in their development QC was pretty bad, and all of them fell apart sooner rather than later with 3 of the companies going out of business. I bought a non remote Mottocaddy S1 several years ago and after a season of use I was very pleased with their quality so I bought a remote S7 and gave the S1 to the Mrs. Last year she bought me a Navigator Gyro for Christmas and while it is expensive, it holds its line no mater the terrain. This was alway a pet peeve of mine that remote carts usually needed constant adjustments as they tended to wander to either side but the Gyro is very straight. And when you play 150-200 rounds a year, it pays for itself in less than one season.

  12. Don't get discouraged!! You are not alone. It looks like we are at similar speeds. My numbers haven't changed much in the last few sessions, and have gone down a little for the light club. I have to remember that in the middle of week 9, I changed from Yellow to Green as my lightest club. After that change I had some great numbers with the Green club, but the last few sessions my speed has dropped back to what it was before the change. Of course, it's colder now and the grass is wet!! Interesting that the first session of Week 12 today... my fastest swing was with the Blue club at 104 which is a record for that club. I've only had 4 swings over 100 with the Blue club in the last month.

  19. It is a great privilege to be chosen to be moderator here at MyGolfSpy. I've been an active member here for just over a year now, and am convinced that this is the world's best golf forum. Most of the time, the moderators here are regulated to Maytag repair duty, at least as it relates to moderating conversations, simply because we have such a great community. But that frees us up to plan ideas to continue to improve and expand the forum. So I'm glad to be at your service! My current Twitter account is @mpatrickriley. I've also reserved @GolfSpyMPR, which I'll use exclusively for golf-related stuff (if you're not interested in theology and my kids).

    Riding vs. Walking

    I'm the exact opposite! My typical work week consists of sitting at a computer 95% of the time. I began walking many years ago as a result. I'm not a big "work-out" guy. My body is pretty banged up from growing up helping my grandfather run a farm and spending 8 years in the military. That level of impact on the body takes a toll as you age. Walking allows me to get regular exercise doing something I enjoy while being relatively low-impact.

  31. Thanks for your insight @cnosil - very informative. I think after firing up this discussion, I'd like to see if MGS could do a CG analysis of some putters from a variety of OEMs. I'd be curious to know what the results are across a wider sample (Flanigan seems to just single out SC in his posts), and I'd love to be able to hear from a selection of golfers as well as industry experts about putter CG in relation to overall performance. Seems to me like putters are one of the least analyzed clubs, but yet is still so important to golfers. Most of what we read or hear about is MOI, face technology, and toe hang. I think Ken's post may be the first I've seen discussing CG.

  33. I prefer walking as I find it easier to walk directly to the ball instead of for example, following the cart only rule or when you're near the green. And I find that it is more stimulating in the golf sense than riding. Does that make sense? It's like you're more connected to the game than hit, jump on the cart, ride, get out, hit, get in, ride... and so on. I find that walking gives me a chance to analyze the next shot and surroundings as I'm walking up to the ball. Plus, I love music and I love listening to it as I'm walking between shots.

  36. I think ideally you would want to work it in both directions. Initially they have it configured that TGF drives you to Global and we have reviewed that and the kinks it has. The next step is expanding to the other companies and working backwards. Have them put on their sites or in stores a link/banner/ad to go to TGF to find your fit, and then driven back to the site to buy/test/etc. it’s probably not enough to have TGF that will need its own marketing to become aware that the site exists. If they are gonna drive people to Global and the Utry program, Global has to drive people to TGF (and then back). Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

  40. I much prefer to walk a course with my bag cart. I have better focus on the game/forthcoming shot and score better than when riding in a cart. This is particularly the case when riding with someone I've not played/shared a cart with before. It's often worse when someone else is driving and our games take us to opposing sides of the fairway, etc. Zigzagging all over the place and grabbing extra clubs when one takes the cart around the approach area just dosen't do it for me. What say you?

  41. This rings true. I've almost turned off my phone the past two Sundays with the tsunami of people gloating. Not that their team won, just that the Patriots lost and played like crap. Steelers and Pats both wanted to lose yesterday. Each year between rule changes and shoddy officiating I enjoy the NFL less. I no longer watch more than my teams game if I'm at home, and even that is a delayed start with the fast forward button at the ready (thank you DVR). It's also frustrating because the optics from the outside are that the NFL refuses to invest in improving the issue. My guess is they view it as supporting the "More offense, more ratings" philosophy...

    Heading down to FL to visit family next week. Was able to get my Bro-In-Law out to to play Champions Gate National with me. First time I have played there. Im pretty excited. After growing up there (17.5 years) I have driven by many times prior to when I started playing. Now I finally get the chance to experience the course. I have heard good things about it and surprisingly only $66 for the round (Cart included).

  44. In my opinion, that is a good thing. I think that "in your face" color options can alienate some consumers from your product. I have never heard someone say, "I won't buy it because it's gray/black." I do think Cobra has it figured out by offering one bold color and one traditional color.

    Kenny for your sake and hers I hope she surpasses that date. DNR and things like living wills should be something people talk about at some point with their families if you have medical conditions. As a paramedic it's helpful and even then it needs to be seen to be followed, at least where I live. Can a mod or admin delete these chinese symbol posts

    Riding vs. Walking

    I walk everyday bag strapped to my back. I only use a cart when it is part of the deal. Like Twin Cities Golf events all include cart, or free passes where cart is included. or on the rare occasion my wife wants me home early so I need to speed around. This is my exercise for the week so walking is a big part.
