Kor.A.Door

Annual Red, White, and Blue. We have some fun with it and play some really good golf as well. It was really really hot today though.

Working on some 3-2-1 ribs on the charcoal smoking right now. They look like they are going to be so good. I used some Apple, and Pecan wood for smoke. They have a coating of some sweet baby rays. I will add some more in about 15 minutes then let them finish in about 45 min to and hour. It smells so good.

I use the ones from SA fishing company. They have many to choose from and have pack deals

Last night in our Wednesday night game playing hole number 6, it played about 500 yards. (About 510 on the card) the app shows it just about 500. I made a 2, Double Eagle (Albatross). It was crazy. I didn’t know it went in at first, I saw it land on the front of the green and bounce up, it looked like it landed just behind the flag and was blocked from our view so we couldn’t see it, my buddy said, I think that went in, I moved off to the left to see if could locate it behind the flag, and I didnt see it so it had to have gone in, as we got closer it was very apparent that the ball was in the cup.

It was a really fun course. With so many blind shots to make you really had to trust the yardage book along with the gps app that is available. I really struck the ball extremely well, I hit 10/14 fairways and 11/18 greens, I was putting better than I ever have. I had the speed and lines pretty good after the first 4-5 holes. I had 1 birdie and 2 bogeys on the front. 4 birdies and 1 bogey on the back. You really do have to trust the yardage though since you can’t see half the shots you are making.

Shot 69 at Tobacco Road on Saturday. I played better than I really ever have. Putter really good, especially on the back 9.

Fellas. I got to go play at Tobacco Road this past weekend June 13. I’m not sure if any of you have played there or no. We played the Disk tees. The wind was blowing really hard and we weren’t sure about tipping it out so we moved up one. I played the best golf that I have played in a very, very long time. Par 71, 71.3/143 from the disk tees. I shot 69. -2 and it was so much fun. As a 5.0 handicap player I don’t shoot par or under par pretty much ever. I shot 36 on the front +1 and then 33 On the back -3. I had 5 birdies on the day. It felt so good to play that well finally. To have this round on a golf course such as Tobacco Road is so amazing. I hesitated to say anything but it was so much fun I thought I would share with my fellow lefties here. Here are a couple pics of the course. Waste areas everywhere and multiple blind shots all over the course

I use hot water to start with then after starting the charcoal let the grill come up to temp then put the meat on. Yes. Getting the pork to 205° does seem to take forever. It took about 7 hours with temps between 225 and 250. I never let it go above 250 or below 225. There is a fine line with the kettle grill for having it too open or too closed. I just kept my eye on it.

I do use a pan of hot water under the meat. As far as diverting the heat with foil or pan, no. I will get a couple photos and video of what it looks like next time I set it up. Here is a snapshot from a you tube video for set up. To start the “snake” I use a pan with 6-8 pcs or charcoal and let them turn white then use tongs to place them at the start of the snake.

So I don’t have a smoker, and while searching for one I found some guys that use just the regular Weber kettle as a smoker. So I looked up a few things and went for it. Did a pork tenderloin the first 2 times, one I took to temp 145° and sliced it. Super delicious. Used Apple wood. The second time I took it to 205° and shredded. Amazing. Cooked between 225° and 250° and they came out amazing. I used a method called “Snake”. You set up the charcoal around the outside edge going 2 wide then add another layer on top to form a half or 3/4 circle around the charcoal grate. Then place a couple pcs of wood chunks on top of the charcoal. I can cook at 225°-250° for 6-7 hours without touching it. Next time I smoke something I will be sure to get photos. I am so happy I found this method for smoking. Now I don’t have to buy a smoker. It works so good.

I play golf with a guy that is equal to or better than a lot of Pro golfers. The guy is just that good with the putter.

Picked these up. Not sure if I will ever use them, but they are a beautiful back up set. Wilson FG62.

I’ve switched to the Pure grips air gun and haven’t had any issues with it. I have had the mouth of the grip get stuck on a few grips where it rolls under on the shaft. I really just dip the tip of my finger in some mineral spirits and just wet the opening of the grip. It really helps the grips slide right on with very little air. Just a couple bursts and then one last burst to seat the butt end. I just found an easy for myself. I had issues with the air gun shown a few posts earlier where I would push just a little too much and it would slide all the in and then split the end of the grip.

Yep, just enough to help slide but not enough to make loose.

Yep. I used that for a short time, but when you get that stubborn grip and split the butt end and ruin a new grip, it sucks.
