The wife and children went to a basketball game today. What is a guy supposed to do? I know run down to the Country Club and become a member then scramble back home and work on my man cave / game room. 

Become a member at the club.  Compete

Simulator Set Up. Had some good progress today, Net, screen, hitting platform all in place.

Man Cave work.  Logo ball racks and balls are up. My wife's Mako was mounted. Posters are up. Golf Backdrop is up. 

Just have 1 or 2 trips to the dump to clear out some more crap.

Did she catch it?

Absolutely. I was actually with her when she did. Caught just off the coast of Long Island near Babylon. Probably near where @cksurfdude goes surfing.

Well glad, in a way, to know I'm not the only married guy whose wife...

1 . wants me to obey the One In = One Out rule for golf shirts;

2. same for golf clubs (and surfboards);

3. ..and is slowly losing his so-called 1/2 of a shared closet!

My wife keeps telling me I need an orange golf shirt to complete the ROYGBIV collection....She does say I need to toss some red ones though (got 4) but I just cannot part with them 

Good luck!

She is correct and must be obeyed. All the TN fans will be happy too.

I would rather the Longhorn emblem on it!

At my parents house.  It was just odd.  The latch wouldn't disengage.  I could turn the handle but the latch... nothing.  Luckily there was enough of an opening at the bottom of the door to slide a small screwdriver through.  Took some doing to get the hinges lined up enough to pop the pins loose.  Managed to mash up my knuckles in the process.  On a positive note at least it happened to me and not one of the little grandkids!

I never would have thought to keep a screwdriver in the bathroom.

Even without Tiger black and red are my go to, I am just glad he made it cool on the course!

People keep knives in there...I prefer fiber in my diet than having to cut up a poo though.

I burned my hand pretty bad a few days ago trying to pick up a 400° sautéing pan out of the oven so that my one year old son wasn’t able to touch it, he came out of nowhere like a rogue spider. Made it through a couple days without any blistering. felt terrible yesterday, but was able to get some special cream from work for burns. Skin doesn’t feel too bad today, no blisters. Hopefully I can start swinging again in a few days versus a few weeks on the positive side though it doesn’t feel to be any long-term damage and my son was safe.

Yeah - I'm not going to ask @JerryB why and don't want to know the answer

My daughter's boyfriend gave me this for Christmas. 

The pen is a cavity back, so it's easier to write with for newbies than those hard to use blade pens!

 

Cute gift, but...

He's still not good enough for her!

I got a Driver, Iron & Putter set with red, black & blue ink……

My family knows our Christmas routines well, anything but a bag of tees brings 'the look'.

Funny enough .. yes! Usually go to Long Beach, just a few miles West of Babylon, or a state park beach just East of it.

Ocean currents and conditions have changed over the last bunch of years .. it used to be that the "men in the grey suits" were typically found offshore off the east end of the island (Montauk) .. plus, one of their fav feeding fish that are all over the area called the NY Bight have made a huge comeback thx to conservation and fisheries management efforts. 

But heck we know they're out there .. I mean, it is *their* home after all...

Funny enough I have one I don't wear... Was a gift and just a little, well, bit of a loud color for me Really nice UA polo, though - Medium. If that's your size, PM me your address and it's yours!

..and on a completely random note:

I thought I haha spied @cnosil in the background of the MGS video intro'ing the '23 Callaway lineup...

It just pained me to think of you out on the course and not killing-it on style points.  Hope it's the right size .

They never are.

Although I'll admit my daughter found a good guy and he is one heck of a good golfer and a great dad to my grandkids.

..new required equipment for your playing partners: 

[Rickp]

We played an early “chilly” 47* Exec 9 this morning.  Obviously we all take our carts to the Diner and I have in my compartment some items and today my Tifosi sunglasses.  After breakfast when got to cart my sunglasses and case were gone along with 3 ProV1x yellow balls.  Sorry YB you’re cousins we’re kidnapped!!!  
Been awhile since my cart was ripped off.

I was going to share a link to an Instagram I thought was funny about a wife thinking her husband was washing the dishes, but she catches him washing his golf clubs. The link sent to a different story. 

Bummer.
