Welcome from a fellow security nerd! I've wondered if my love of puzzles and patterns which connects so clearly to cybersecurity also drives my interests in golf. I'm curious if you see any connection between the two on your end. Welcome again!

A weird and mildly gross rule of thumb for home ownership that hasn't disappointed yet - just buy new toilet lids and don't bother trying to clean what you inherit. I don't know what the manufacturing process is for toilet lids, but they invariably have some porous spots that soak up heaven-knows-what. No amount of scrubbing will make that stuff go away. Remove the old lid, clean the toilet before reinstall, and you will feel much better about your bathroom cleanliness!

This hasn't worked for me yet. My wife said it's fine to play but my boss said "get back to work and stop calling me honey or you're fired." Guess I'll keep trying!

Cut: +3 Top Amateur: Christo Lamprecht This will be entirely unnecessary as I am planning on being the top of the bell curve here, but rules are rules! Good luck everyone!

Thanks for dropping this in here. I've spent the better part of several weeks along with a smarter-than-I colleague playing with some club performance data to see if we can evaluate the validity of some AI claims with the proverbial cold, hard data. One of the early lessons from this thread for me was not to post any half-complete stories, so I'm holding off until the work is fully baked. More to come soon on this front! I do think the TRUEGolfFit was an early instantiation of what people would think of if they were to try an imagine an "AI Golf Fitting". I think the cloud-enabled launch monitors have a wealth of data available to them that would facilitate some VERY interesting experiments. If anyone has an in to Rapsodo or Trackman's user data lakes, please let me know .

My neighbor has this bag and absolutely loves it. Unprompted, he said "everyone who sees this bag asks me 'why would you spend that much money on a BAG?!' Then they test drive it for a round, and they never ask me again." If I wasn't so attached to my 14-way Taylormade cart bag, Ghost would probably be in my shopping cart. Fortunately for my wallet, this will have to wait for a future season.

2024 Most Wanted releasing? I've been sitting on a data-analysis post waiting for the latest drop! It's usually in February as far as I remember, and I'm jonesing for the post to drop!

@CFreddie and I are twins this week. Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ. I guess we'll see which of the two we are by Sunday!

Second this! Arrowhead is tough to beat in my mind for value at a public course. St Andrews is also a go-to, as is Prairie Landing (which sits at the end of an executive airport for you aviation nerds). Also, Geneva National just north of us in Wisconsin just renovated their group cottages. Add this to your future midwest group outing plans!

Primarily an indoor CCE user here: my garage floor is finished with a commercial-grade product (basically epoxy with some color flecks). One downside to the CCE is it slides under my feet over time as I'm hitting, even if I butt one side up against a wall or concrete step. I've thought about gluing some kind of tacky substance on the bottom to increase its grip to the floor, but it hasn't been annoying enough to take action. I have left it outside in the past, and my only comment would be that the material that allows it to hold a tee also seems to hold a TREMENDOUS amount of water if it rains. I left it out in a storm once and I could barely lift the thing to flip and drain it. Maybe my desk-jockey arms are weak, but it was bad enough that I never leave it out anymore. Hope that helps!

Testing underway!

Pour one out for Beeks, @cciciora13, @CFreddie, Jnoble89, KoohFloppinonem, MrGolf, @Pettitt95, and @Placasse61 folks!

If you're in the western burbs, go break them in at Kishwaukee in DeKalb. The running joke, as far as I recall, is that the course might as well be called Sub 90 with how many Sub 70 staff and club users call Kishwaukee home. Then if you don't like the clubs, you can complain directly to the folks who built them for you!

Fantastic! Will a right-hand glove for us lefties be an option? Edit: helps if I click the sign up link and read, eh? I am very, very tired today
