  1. I have been mixing a packet of Propel into 64 oz thermo-jug I picked up at Goodwill a few years ago. Fill it about 1/2 with ice and water and it's cold and refreshing. On these hot summer days, I pretty much finish that off and a couple of 16 oz cups of water and ice I refill at the turns. It's crazy how much fluid goes in and how little comes out . Thanks for the well wished guys. My partner and I won our match 2 and 1, but we ended up tied on all matches. Unfortunately Jennifer could not play today and our pro lost his match .
  2. Top of the pot spies . Today is round 3 of our "White Tank Mountain's" tournament; a 4 round event where 4 of the area 55+ communities play team events to win the White Tank Cup. They've been doing this event for quite a few years and this is my first time participating. We're currently 1/2 point behind the leader but hoping to flip that today and then finish strong when round 4 is played here on Cimmaron (previous years winner hosts the final round). Grand has had a winning history in this tournament, and I hope we can keep that going . Today is a 2-man BB at Sun City Festival's Copper Canyon GC. If there is a tie, one of the pro's from each community plays a match play format as the tiebreaker. We have a former LPGA player who is the area's ace... she's never lost one of these... go Jennifer! Have a great Friday and start to the weekend everyone.
  3. I sure will. Watch for my post in about 10-15 years from now . Great, now I have this and The Still Aceless Thread to complete. I did just check-off the first sub par round, so there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I wonder what the statistics are on average age most players accomplish this. I would think between 75-80, but dunno.
  4. Umm, let me think about it... https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/b20b4feb-89ab-4b66-8cd8-481f000c6261
  5. This threads been pretty dang quiet this season. I would have expected a few more graduations and lots more "near misses". Personally, I've been on a rather ho-hum stretch of par 3 play. My scoring on them has been okay, but proximity to the hole not so much. Our Mon/Fri group play KP's and I've faired okay there too... but I want off this life raft!!
  6. Top of the pot spies . Working on cup #2 and catching up on email and MGS posts. I worked hard for a 78 yesterday in men's league play, only 1 birdie that did not hold up for net or gross skin, and yielded a T6 for individual quota. It's a tough crowd in flight #1 . My putting distance control was pretty much AWOL and cost me two 3 putts on GIR holes . Those are so dang maddening. I'm working on a Robert Trent Jones Trail trip with some friends this October. The plan is to play Oxmoor Valley courses (including Ross Bridge) in Birmingham, then drive to Montgomery and play the Capital Hill courses. The price quote we received is pretty good and I don't think we could do much better DIY. They set-up the hotels and tee times and have a reasonable cancellation policy. Not much else planned for today other than a workout, shortly, and Chinese lunch with the wife. Have a great day all.
  7. Top of the pot and Happy Hump Day Spies! We finally got some rain on Monday as a small monsoon storm rolled through the area. The east valley has been getting reasonable rainfall but we've been getting missed in the west valley. Slightly cooler temps and the chance of t-storms this week... just show up when I'm not golfing please . Men's league Individual quota and gross/net skins today at Granite Falls South. Hopefully some birdies are in store as I'm in a little cold spell getting those the past few rounds. That said, I did set a new PB index of 6.7 (7.0 was my previous). Now onto a 5 something . Have a great day all.
  8. Congrats, again @Logwon! Rob probably knows, but -32 has to be a record... almost AI-like . Hope you will post back and share some pics of the well earned booty. Isn't just knowing that you almost won enough? I think we should award Rob @Golfspy_CG2 honorary winner and some Titleist products. I'm pretty sure he has no room for them in his golf equipment storage room(s)... but he should get some goodies anyway .
  9. I had an interesting discussion with a fellow player the other day about grips; partly about how much brand name grips prices have risen this past year, and partly about preferences. We also discussed the "knock-off" market and how well these have become at mimicking the real deal. We both like Golf Pride and midsize align. I've been playing the tour velvet and he had recently switched from those to the MMC and Z-grip. He said they feel a wee bit firmer than the tour velvet (makes sense) and was liking the improved grip-ability, especially during our higher humidity summer season. But, he has noted much quicker glove wear, especially on the palm. He thinks the z-grip is mostly responsible for this. I'm curious to know what others are experiencing with grip choice and glove wear. With the costs of both grips and gloves heading further north, yet another consideration in the choice of products enters the decision making process.
  10. Great win and season for Xander. Hopefully Billy will get another chance at a major before Father Time adds even more challenge to this daunting challenge. Congratulations to @Logwon... -32... RUKM .
  11. Agree, it would be great to see Horschel win it... or Henley, or Burns or Lawrence, or Rosie (that would be really cool). Definitely some names I did not see being there after day 3; as is evident by my T363 spot in the pool .
  12. Ariel view of hole #8... a diabolical, scorecard wrecking horror show. Isn't it fascinating how some of the shortest holes on so many courses around the globe can be so challenging. I'll bet Joaquin would have never anticipated this trainwreck stepping up to the tee .
  13. I'm poking around eBay and ran across this shirt. I had no idea Tiger and Kirkland were collaborating on golf attire. This would definitely get some double takes.
