I have said for years, I'm half tempted to pull up in a boat and play a couple holes along the water and bounce. Haha.
It would be worth trying to outrun the sheriff’s boat.

Only because I want to play this one.
Was the host to Dell Matchplay
I have a semi-way to get on (know a member through work) but haven’t been able to make it happen yet.

GD Tour AD DI 6x has been my go to for a while. Either it fits my swing or my swing fits the AD DI 6x. @GolfSpy Barbajo nicknamed me (or my tee shots) the “Road Runner” in Scotland. Medium height fade that runs. It was a beautiful thing on some links courses.

Ventus Blue 6X. Fitted back in February. Absolutely love it
I would LOVE to try that shaft. Gotta get to a fitter and give it a try. Very afraid it would work for me and I would LOVE it.

Got to be Scottie. I can’t bring myself to root for him for some reason. Great golfer, just not a fan. That is until it’s time for the Ryder Cup. Then I’ll root for him. But PGA events, I just hope he loses.
I certainly don't dislike Scottie, and I'm a HUGE Ted Scott (his caddie) fan, but man Scottie does have the public personality of a wet sock. Wow. Most likely a brilliant move on his (and his teams' part...)

Thanks to "Full Swing", it might be a trio: JT, Spieth & Rory. They all seem like entitled twits on that show. Perhaps it's reality TV and editing, but Full Swing didn't do them or Zach Johnson any favors. Of course Zach's outbursts with fans on the course since the Ryder Cup haven't helped his reputation much either.

Oh and I'm leading. First out the gate.
Also played Barassie in Ayrshire yesterday. It is just up the coast from Troon as it prepares for the Open. Shot 85 but with a slope of 137 ended up with 13 strokes so ended up nett 72. I usually get a nose bleed on courses longer than 6500 and we played Whites at 6800. So happy with my 3 rounds so far this week.
West Lothian Airngarth Slope rating off yellow is 123 and rating is 69.7
Jealous; I've played in East Lothian (Kilspindie, Craigelaw, Renaissance, Dunbar & North Berwick). Want to get back so badly I can almost taste the Belhaven!

We have a group of 8 guys doing a quick weekend in northern Michigan this weekend.
Friday is Champion Hill, Saturday is Arcadia South Course, and Sunday is Arcadia Bluffs.
Arcadia is on my bucket list, so I'm praying the rain holds off for both Saturday and Sunday.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Haven't played Champion Hill, but both Arcadia courses are in my top ten favorites. Side note: If you have time, you can literally drive 30 minutes and be at the clubhouse of Crystal Downs. No security gate to negotiate, just drive up to the pro shop. You can see about six holes from that vantage point. Worth seeing, as most will never get the opportunity to play there. (I got lucky last Summer!)

Head to a big box retailer if you can; hit a bunch of demos and previously owned. You might not find exactly what you love, but you'll find a lot that you don't like and can weed them out early.

KBS Tour. I've tried others; always keep coming back to this. it either fits my swing, or I've fit my swing to it. Either way, don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Not sure if you saw that Holly sonders (formerly on the golf channel) wanted to start a female topless league. my only question to that idea was where were they going to be able to play.
I've played a few courses where they would be MORE than welcome...

With no dress code, what next, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria...
Relax Francis, as long as they keep up, repair ballmarks and divots, what they wear doesn't really concern me.
Are we doing the human sacrifice to celebrate a birdie, or to conjure one up from the Gods? Dress codes are one thing, but there have to be RULES, man!!

Here come the "Most Wanted Bluetooth Speaker" commenters.
I don't really want to see anyone topless, but collared shirts and pleats need to go the way of the tweed jacket, necktie and the Dodo. Show up, keep up and be fun to paly golf with for 4+ hours. Those should be the criteria.

So my course's pro shop credit ends in March of each year. Last year was a decent year for me so I had a good bit to spend. I recently was fitted and ordered a new Scotty Cameron Newport Plus. I have really been struggling with putting lately. Which is typically the strongest part of my game. Anyways. I got a new putter and its sitting in my office! haha! I haven't put it in the bag quite yet. Obviously as soon as I had the putter ordered, my current gamer (Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5) started making everything. Not changing until I need to haha.
Like a dog headed to the vet, golf clubs “know” when there’s a potential replacement lurking…

Some of my buddies and I play a version of this called “Greed”. You may replay ANY shot, but if you hit a second, you must play that ball. Amazing how greed can come and bite you. We usually play skins and b/c of the second shot option, only par or better wins a skin. Fun variation to knock it around with friends.

I’ll be out of town but will probably record this and maybe watch later. Hopefully they won’t put a muzzle on Max. His sarcasm might be the only thing I’ll look forward to in this one. Hopefully Lexi can make a putt or two.

Been on a bit of a bender. PXG had a sale, so grabbed a GEN 2 3W. (Did I mention I LOVE
how PXG boxes and sends their clubs??)
Been wanting to try TRUE Links golf shoes; again a sale, so again I pull the trigger. Word of advice: READ all the literature. Received these very quickly, tried them on (ordered the size I always wear) and they were too small. Huh… Start figuring out a return/exchange process and notice a SMALL link to “What Size Should I Order?” Hmmm… Anyway, they note that the shoes run small, and you should order a 1/2 to a full size larger than normal. So, after a few emails back and forth with their EXCELLENT customer service, a new pair is on the way in a different (and hopefully correct) size.
Last but not least, I have an Ogio bag that I like, but the legs have proven to be junk. A sale called my name yet again, and I am now the proud owner of a Ping Hoofer, finally.Think I’m probably done for the foreseeable future, but if that “SALE” bell rings, who knows??

Congrats, all! Looking forward to this one…
Do you tip?

This is pretty much my thing as well. I go on a couple golf trips a year, usually only have cart peeps and the bev cart to handle as far as tips go. Always make sure to have cash for the carts and tip well with the beverage tender.
