Steve Stricker -6

So I won my first GCAmTour event in 3 years. The official picture hasn’t been posted yet, but this is me drinking beer from the trophy. Driver wasn’t treating me well so I teed off almost every hole with the 3 iron. Kept it in play and putted well. Not a great score (81 in second flight), but good enough to win that day over 25 other players. Some jerk was upset that such a bad score won, but F him. Sore loser....

The golf channel am tour opens in Denver this weekend. My brother will be in town so he and I will be teeing it up together (at different boxes). We will do a warm up at Red Hawk Friday. This is a must-play in the Denver area. Huge elevation changes and just a fun course. So glad spring had finally arrived!

Yup. Gonna hit GVR next weekend and again on the 27th for the GCAmTour opener.

The snow stopped us from opening the year last weekend. But we have begun this weekend! Gorgeous day, about 65° today. I’m not sure if I should be happy I hit 15 GIR or missed 15 birdie putts It’s a promising start, though.

I’ll be at Green Valley Ranch Sunday the 31st at 10am. All welcome. Just PM me and I’ll add you to the tee time. So far it’s just me

What he said

Great. We’re back in grade school. balls, shaft, club....

I just learned a valuable lesson today. We got a light snow last night so there was no chance of hitting the links despite the warmer weather today. So I’ve been hitting my sim this morning. After about 50 balls or so, this happened. Then it occurred to me I’ve been storing my golf balls in the garage. Depending on the season, temps in there range from -5° to over 100°. That’s not too good for a golf ball. Word to the wise: store your golf balls in the house!

Hidrake, I have the SkyTrak and the delay is NOT with the SkyTrak - It’s the computer. I built a fast computer and a dedicated wireless network for it, and there is almost no delay. Maybe 1-2 seconds at the very most. Personally the biggest difference was when I got the SSD hard drive. That made a world of difference.

Normally I’d say winter sucks. And it does, but my sim helps. What a great investment. Also, my brother and I usually play every February in Florida with the parents. They’re something awful as players, but it’s always a great time. Headed out Friday, and I can’t wait.

you make all very good intellectual points, (and an especially harsh, albeit accurate one above). And I understand they are playing the long game. But as the emotional fan that I am, it really sucks to lose a talent like that. Call him what you will - HOF, generational, whatever. It's just sad to see that one small glimmer of Raider Hope wearing another uniform. But at least he's not playing for Pittsburgh!

He is a future hall of famer. No amount of picks will make up for that loss. Maybe 5 guys in history are/were as good. And I understand that the team would still struggle with him on the team (cuz we still suck in other areas). But to give that up for a CHANCE at getting good players? No thanks. Bad trade. It’s like poker. You’re betting on the come.
