  1. I really like it. I still have moments with it. I need to really do things my way instead of listening to youtubers. The grill is great for pizza and gets to 900 degrees. It does well cooking everything else although I am trying to get more smoke flavor out of it sometimes. It burns super clean.
  2. Snapchat-2002389907_001.mp4 19 inch Pizza on Saturday before Sunday's corned beef and cabbage. Corned beef does not take a good pic though...
  3. For instruction, I usually watch Clay Ballard, AMG, Eric Cogorno, and Jerome Ruffin. Ruffin has great instructors on the channel. Entertainment, Bob Does Sports and Random Golf Club. I often wonder why I'm watching Bob does sports because I feel like it's relatively stupid TV but I don't really have to pay attention and it's just background noise mostly.
  4. Time Left: 5 days and 10 hours

    • FOR SALE
    • Used

    Used evnroll ER2v mid lock putter for $260 free shipping. I'll take venmo and PayPal payments. Ship within the continental United States.

    $260

  5. It was probably one of the best yet that I've done. I ate a ton of it but I also ended up separating and vacuum packing 4 lb of it for future meals and probably pizza.
  6. Just a pork butt I smoked over the weekend. It looks small in the done picture but It was probably close to 12 lb.
  7. I think I am ready to squash the birthdays from here on out.
  8. Is it really pizza then? Is it pizza because it's cut in a triangle? Then all pie would be pizza... I'd say it's a giant chicken melt patty...
  9. I've been slacking on posting here and on the website in general but I'll catch up a little bit I guess... Italian baked rice dish with my smoked cheese. Pan Baked lasagna casserole Sous vide prime rib for Christmas that was reverse seared on my kamado grill soapstone at 800°...
  10. NoCo will not be open for greens fees until May. Generally nothing else in the area will be playable either. Maybe Indian Mound but I am not sure. Places further south would better. Birch Hill CC (used to be Ridgewood CC) should be with decent views and I usually play The Oaks early. If you want to drive all over, Nonesuch River is also usually open.
  11. I don't know. It's about launch angle and speed of the club. If you change the loft but they still have the same club speed and the same launch angle it'll just be a few inches shorter from the tee. They are pros they'll figure it out.
  12. I don't think that we should just let them make these decisions for us. We should put pressure on the PGA and USGA and the R&A. We're the ones with the money spending it on golf we need to talk with our money. I think we should push with our wallets. I'm seriously considering not buying my USGA handicap this year and using my golf shot handicap and telling my pro to deal with it. I don't care if I play any events in my club I can still be in my group using the handicap that I have set. It doesn't matter The drivers will be just lofted higher. I mean how much more disconnected can the USGA be? Every advertisement in golf when it comes to drivers is based around distance. No one goes to a pro shop and ask for a driver that hits 20 yd shorter than other competitors... All our clubs are used primarily to maintain distance and consistency. Genuine amateurs, which is anyone pretty much from a zero handicap to 36 aren't distance problems regardless of how far they hit the golf ball. They're not forcing golf courses to build t-boxes for them. We need to write letters, speak with our wallets, boycott watching the US Open and whatever else can help the cause. Those of you that are passive and not competitive enough to be bothered by losing the distance your accustomed to fine. Accept people making these decisions for you. The more things you're passive about the more things they will take away because you won't do anything to stop it. Sounds familiar doesn't it... One more thing, stop comparing Major league baseball to golf. They've never had metal bat in the MLB so there's never really been an official bifurcation other than not allowing them in the first place.
  13. True I had it thought they had more into the television revenue for some reason. I still think it's money generated decision making though.
  14. I'm not on board with this change. I think that the real reason is always money and the good of the game is lining their pockets for long-term. The good of the game just makes seems like a way to instilling something and not make it look like they're greedy. I don't know any courses that have had problems with distance for 99% of the golfers that play it. USGA is concerned about people not watching their precious golf on TV. I've watched a lot of golf and I can't recall ever complaining to myself or anyone else that the pros hit it too far. To be truthful, most tournaments outside of major ones are somewhat boring and I only watch a small portion of them nowadays. I do think the decision to push pros to have to play in more tournaments was good though and helped make mundane tournaments a little more palliative. I personally think it would be best if we spoke with our pocketbooks boycotted watching tournaments from television as best we could and not purchase handicap memberships. I know it'd be a hassle but you can get your handicap from other locations. I never like playing in scrambles anyway at my handicap... If they really want to make the scores higher start having the pros play with longer fairway grass and inconsistent greens that have been punched two days before the tournament starts. That's the kind of stuff I have to deal with. I don't know, as much as I think this doesn't mean much it also bothers me that people who work hard to generate swing speed and hit the ball well, get punished for their efforts. I know what I'll be missing and I'm already losing yardage as it is and I don't want to drop another 10 yd in one season. Lastly, I hit the sweet spot on my driver pretty frequently. It may not be the best swing every time but I do hit it fairly often. When I hear most amateurs don't hit the sweet spot it's kind of annoying because I think they do with the driver more often than most people think. Even in my hacky old guy group, the guys hit pretty straight off the middle of the club face shots but just have super slow swing speed. I can't say the same for my irons however...
  15. My oven has one. I've used it to cook potatoes and chicken but I really like it for reheating leftovers, especially pizza.
