Texas Open 2014 and an Open Invitation to play with BestGrips/Zalbert


BestGrips.com

Recommended Posts

Oh yes, I just remembered, someone said something about how strange it was that I took 20 or more clubs to Canada to play and only took 15 clubs to the Texas Open when I drove.  Well, I wanted to leave the back opened in case Rickles needed a place to sleep. :lol:

 

Actually, the real reason is that in Canada we played five different courses.  At the Texas Open we had only one course.  I did take my 3 wood and an additional hybrid.  In retrospect, the next time I play that course I will have a 60* wedge instead of the 58 and 64, the 3 wood and the hybrid or 4 wood.

I was sort of hoping she was smelling impaired, but did not know if it was good or bad to wish that on someone.  I certainly would not want to wish anything bad on her, but while live with you may be a bed of roses, it probably does not smell like one.

Things I learned this weekend...

2) Rover could take 1/2 swings for a whole round and beat many people.

 

My back is still a little sore but a friend wanted to play today.  I did not take his bet because I was not planning on making full swings today.  Hit 14 fairways, a bit shorter than usual but also hit some longer than normal, 9 GIR and 23 putts.  I missed out on making $18 or more off of him. 

 

I am going to try to never expend more than 3/4 effort from now on.  There is no doubt that I was overswinging big time Friday and Saturday trying to keep up with the young pups. Working on effortless power instead of powerless effort, but this is a thread unto its self, and I need more work.  (A LOT.)

Watching Jimmy Fallon right now, his sidekick said something about waking one's wife up with a Dutch Oven.  You ever done that, Txstcatman???

Never woken her up with one but we've both put each other to sleep with one... The dog, who sleeps in the bed because he's spoiled, doesn't appreciate it.

Man that looks good. I've never put Sriracha on sushi. I really gotta try.

 

Txst, try Wasabi on steak sometime. You won't be able to eat steak the same again

 

Now this has me interested... Wasabi on a steak hmmmm.  I'm sure it's delicious!

 

And yes, Sriracha on sushi is a must for me.
