  1. ... Is that the question? Why is a stranger on TV wearing something you don't like or you wouldn't wear? I try and watch every televised LPGA event and I have seen plenty of women wearing their hood up while playing in the wind or chilly temps. Same thing on the range before an early morning round when it is cold. Hood up on the range and when it gets warmer on the course hood down. That said even if the ladies are just making fashion statement I am perfectly OK with that too.
  2. ... Haha different subject but my Genesis GV60 might as well be a rolling video game. I have camera's that turn on and show my side view when I turn on my lane change signal. I have a BIG red warning signal in my side view mirrors if a car is in my blind spot. I have a back up camera AND graphics with a warning signal if a car or person is near me. I don't even turn my head to look anymore when backing up because my car does all the looking for me. Times be achangin' old man.
  3. ... Professionals on the LPGA Tour have been wearing hoodies and joggers for years.
  4. Soap box warning! ... Seems simple but this really is a complicated issue and covers more than what it seems like on the surface. Golf historically was an elitist sport. It is the main reason I didn't start playing til I was 35. All kinds of stuffy rules like no hat indoors. After wearing a nice baseball hat in the heat and sweating in the hot sun your hair can look so much worse than wearing a nice hat. And what about those Follicley challenged? Pa-lease. I didn't think they needed to change their elitist ways, but as a young hippie in worn out jeans and a tee shirts I just wasn't interested. ... And this is probably a controversial hot take but who ever said we need to grow the game and bring in undesirable elements? Sure I have played with some Judge Smails types over the years and they are only slightly better than Al Czervik types yet what most all of us prefer is something in the middle. Relaxed but respectful. In my opinion the games stuffiness needed to be changed but I think the pendulum may have swung too far in the opposite direction. Golf is a game of honor where we historically called penalties on ourselves. It has a very rigid set of rules. I didn't like some of them but understood and abided by them. It is a very unique sport. I rarely played with anyone just making up their own set of rules to make the game more fun. In fact I am not sure I ever heard "more fun" because golf wasn't/isn't that. Enjoyable for sure but demanding, unyielding, unlucky, extremely difficult while being equally frustrating and rewarding. Today at a typical muni or resort course in Phoenix I see more riding carts than walkers to accommodate not having a few drinks but excessive dinking. And not just music but very LOUD music. "Growing the game" has brought in an element the game didn't want or need. As I said earlier, Bro Golf is fine for Topgolf but has no place on a golf course. ... I know Benz was joking but music is such a controversial topic and probably sums things up more than outdated fashion. If you can play your music so only your group can hear it, and if everyone in your group wants music, and if everyone in your group likes your music, folks should have no problem with it. If someone in your group golfs for the fresh air, sounds of nature and the peace a solitude golf can provide, turn your music off. I constantly hear very LOUD Rap and Country blaring from nearby holes. There is a sense of entiltelment from those types of golfers that is even more egregious than the old Boomer thinking everyone should dress like them. I disagree with Chuck Z often but that's how life works. I see no reason a young college grad that loves the game wearing a nice pair of joggers and a tee short isn't "dressed for success". The problem rises of course when you have a limited interpretation on what that it looks like, or even what success is. Stock broker making 500k with a nice car and very expensive golf clothes or a Fireman, EMT, Armed Forces member or a Teacher driving a Hyundai Elantra and wearing inexpensive casual clothes? I'll take the latter for $500 Alex. ... I post this often but much of life comes down to are you a considerate person or an inconsiderate person? Considerate people know others feel/are different and not only accept it but embrace it. Most importantly they are aware of others and respect them and the course. If they play music it is at a respectful level that doesn't infringe on others enjoyment. They don't park their riding carts on the sides of tee boxes or greens. They have a drink or two but don't think It's Party Time on the golf course and get loud and obnoxious. They are aware people are behind them and do their best to keep up with the group in front of them. They fix their ball marks on the greens and any others they see. They replace their divots or fill them. They certainly don't care what you wear. Inconsiderate people live by "I don't give a f**k what anyone thinks I'm gonna gonna do things my way" and I have seen more and more of them in the last 10years. Seeing where someone entered a sand trap, hit a splash shot and walked out on a different path while stepping over a rake is far from rare. Tossing empty beer cans at trash bin and missing but leaving there or worse just tossing it out into the desert. ... In the end golf is like life. If you do your best to respect the game, the course and those sharing it with you, everyone can agree to disagree about the trimmings. I play in nice golf shorts/pants and polo shirts because I like them. Even though I would never wear them, I am totally cool with joggers/jeans (I have worn jeans when it was cold) and tee shirts with sneakers while am I equally cool with a 24 index sporting a $750 embroidered Callaway staff bag, ALL Callaway clubs, uncomfortable Callaway dress shoes and clothes only playing Chrome Soft balls. As long as they are both respectful of the course and considerate of others around them.
  5. ... I Hera ya. I play a soft draw to straight ball off the tee. Probably around 60/40 for a 3-5yd draw. I don't need a draw bias. I also rarely get along with MAX drivers but the Stealth2 HD (High Draw) sat very square and slightly open when turned down twice. I put a lighter weight in the heel and added two strips of lead tape on the toe and it performed very neutral for me. The Qi10 Max was supposed to have even less draw bias than the S2 HD but I hit far too many big draws to hooks and lost confidence in it fairly quickly. ... To be fair I never liked the look at address which seemed a little closed and that head is just massive looking. Of course I knew I didn't like the look after an indoor fitting but figured the 10k MOI and reported off the charts forgiveness were worth a try. Especially when it was the recommendation of my fitter, although my inability to swing like normal indoors has been mentioned many times. I was surprised when I exchanged it for the standard Qi10 and for my swing, found it more forgiving than the Max. I know we all like to say "Get Fit" and this is one of the reasons why. On paper the standard Qi10 should not have been as good a driver for me as the Max. But not only was it more forgiving, it is giving me quite a bit more distance than my S2 HD on my best drives, and I really wasn't expecting that. It has been quite awhile since any new driver produced my longest tee shots.
  6. ... I am normally not a fan of the wildcat formation as I don't find it any different than a QB handing the ball off in a normal formation. The inly difference is in the wild cat they know it will be a run. That said, when you have an athlete like Taysom Hill that is a bruising runner but can also throw, it can certainly be a nice change of pace and it worked well with Brees in NO. I am not sure Fields can stand up to the punishment between the tackles but I agree with you, it might be worth a shot. He is such a dynamic runner in the open field and if he can get past the first tackle or get some excellent blocking, he can score from anywhere on the field. Fields could also throw from that formation to keep defenses honest because he would most likely only have one target and wouldn't need to actually read a defense, and if not open he would be running. It could be interesting for sure.
  7. ... I still get the Chicago Sun Times everyday and have been reading the sports reporters constantly talking about how the fans love Fields. I have never talked to anyone from Chicago that loved Fields by the middle of his 2nd season when it became apparent he didn't hold the ball and seem confused by defenses because he was a rookie, it was because defenses will always confuse him and he will always hold the ball too long. That was the emphasis in training camp and we were assured in Season 3 we would see Fields getting rid of the ball quickly. Of course he didn't. He simply is not a starting NFL QB. I have wondered if he would entertain moving to WR where his amazing athletic ability and speed could be put to good use. ... The Trubisky/Fields Error I mean Era, is finally over. Traded picks to move up for both and at best they are back ups for other teams. I thought Pace made some pretty good moves but choosing a QB wasn't one of them. 26 starting QB's in 20 seasons and arguably other than Cutler, not a franchise QB among them. I think we all know there is no such thing as a Can't Miss college QB going to the NFL, but I think Williams and Maye are both as close as it gets.
  8. ... Real. IF Fields takes 51% of snaps next season it becomes a 4th round pick. A far cry from the 2nd round pick many in the media were predicting.
  9. ... Speaking for myself, the Qi10 is faster AND more forgiving than the Stealth2 HD I was playing. While faster isn't a surprise, more forgiving certainly is.
  10. ... 6th round isn't "decent" but I would have given him away for one round on a muni. ... And the best the Bears could get was a 6th round pick in 2025. But the NIGHTMARE is over and with the free agent trades shoring up the Oline depth and especially Keenan, the new QB will have some weapons and the 9th pick will be very interesting now that the Bears have Keenan.
  11. ... Haha I think k you were always safe as Getsy would have vetoed that trade. Fields traded for a 6th round pick which is basically giving him away. 7 years of Trubisky and Fields nightmare is finally over. That said, everything I have heard and read about Fields says he is a really good guy, hard worker and excellent leader so I wish him well in Pittsburg.
  12. ... Excellent read and thanks for posting it. I just don't see the Eagles making that move. Until I see a team actually make an offer for Fields, I am assuming it is posturing for leverage. What that leverage is for, I don't know. Or worse just the sports media drumming up some interest and since there is no smoke, there is little chance there is any fire. I know the Philly media can be just as bad as NYC or Chicago. The Chicago media knew long ago the Bears would be drafting a QB but every day there is a Should they keep Fields and IF they keep Fields that just riles up the fan base, seemingly split between keeping him or trading him .
  13. ... While not always possible, I try and lead as close to a chemical free life as possible. Like spraying weeds with salt/vinegar. Takes longer than chemicals and usually have to apply two or three times but it works. Glycol Ethers is a no go for me and honestly I had no problem just wiping my grips with water before the Lamkins, which don't need a wipe down. Not preachin' or suggesting what others should or shouldn't use, so thanks for the suggestion but it just isn't a product for me.
  14. ... Right there with you guys. I have never used a glove and always preferred very tacky grips. I had to wipe them down with a wet towel before every shot and then dry them off. The Lamkin ST +2 Hybrid grip changed that. While they are not tacky as in "sticky" per se, they provide a very solid grip that doesn't slip in my hands. Game changer for me and I have them on all my clubs.
  15. ... Amigo all you need to know is every franchise in the NFL has access to every play Fields has made the last 3 years and none are interested in him. And although the Bears have an abysmal record with finding and/or developing QB's that changes with just one. The new GM, HC and OC are not part of the Bears QB history and if they draft Williams and he plays to his potential that narrative finally changes. To me it's like a losing streak. It has to end at some point. ... There are just too many video's out there like this one, but it is pretty short and indicative of what every scout and GM has seen from Fields.
