... So just the one stroke you will be giving me? 

Haven't you heard?....... The mods twisted it up. Now it's you and I against the rest. So we have to shoot 59. No pressure, you go first. You know, age before beauty.

... Age is just a number and that 80's porn star mustache sorta exempts you from the beauty category but I'lll be happy to go first and think I can shoot a 59 with all new perfectly fit Cobra's. I'll just have to stop after the 15th hole.

I’m saving up all my “good” golf for the Cobra clubs - at least that’s what I’m convincing myself of

You been looking at my movie clips again? Now you know your not the only movie star.

... Like going into a Florida Walmart, there are some things that are such an assault to the senses you can never unsee them. Your "movie" would be another.

Boy, I missed a lot of action yesterday

Anyone get any shipment notifications yet outside of Jason?

Had to show off a swing so y'all might stop quaking in your boots at the thought of me taking you all down. Or maybe it's a ploy so you won't take me seriously and I can pick you off one at a time. 

On a side note, I've worked a lot on alignment since then. It's almost embarrassing to post that shot. 

[chisag]

... Sweet! You have referenced my favorite piece of art on my living room wall. My son gave this to me for my birthday. It is a painting, not a poster and 3' x 2' . Opposite wall of my other favorite art work for obvious reasons.

I’ll try to send good weather your way for Tuesday, Jason! First night if my two man league starts this week Tuesday and we’ve got sunny and 76. I’ll send good vibes!

... I can spare at least 10* for both of you. 100* the next 4 days here so feel free to grab 10* or even 15*.    (Try not to add any humidity to the 13% I am sending with the 10-15* of heat)

That painting is so well done! From the photo it looks like it would be a poster. The finer details like the shadow of the script at the bottom is a nice touch.

I'm a big fan of The Dark Knight, Ledger was so good as the Joker. When Christopher Nolan brought Batman back to the big screen, I was so blown away by Batman Begins that I saw it 3 times in the theater. I went the first time by myself, the second with my buddy Allen, and the third I took mom. It was a refreshing take after the debacle that was Batman and Robin.

... Thanks. I find myself looking at it all the time which of course is the purpose of art.

... My first day on set the make up/hair was giving me a little trim and one of them almost screamed "OH NO! Is this a Heath day?" and the other said he didn't come in til late that night. I had to ask if he was difficult to work with and they said no and yes. No he was a good guy they really liked but yes because he was staying in character as the Joker 24/7. Made for an absolutely amazing performance but it took a toll on everyone, sadly including Heath. Christopher Nolan was a real treat to work with. VERY detailed but knows exactly what he wants. 

Fwiw, I was cast as the lieutenant and we rehearsed the jail scene and the Joker fight for 2 days and I suffered a bruised rib. But the Producer cast one of his friends when he was released from another project so they released me. Nolan felt bad for me and came up with my role because he had been toying with the idea but this gave him the opportunity to include it. We shot it for 2 days starting with us having sex and not seeing Wayne, to seeing him and freaking out a little and more watered down versions until the PG scene that made it in the film. Pretty rare for a director to go to bat for a stranger like that, especially in the middle of filming so I was very grateful.

Such a cool story, thanks for sharing @chisag.  

Seems like I’ve missed a good bit of trash talk / banter over the last few days. I feel like someone should roast me or something, no?

... OK, then we all ridicule your inability to compete at this level with the pressure of knowing you will be looked at under a microscope from members, literally from all over the world for your play in the Challenge and fold like Tom's only suit ... and you're all caught up!

I appreciate it, Jason! The good thing is, I'll be doing the unboxing and photos Tuesday so most of my evening will be admiring the clubs. I'm just happy to see Wednesday and Thursday look good and I might be able to squeeze in 9 or a range session after work. 

@chisag, right now the humidity is at 78% and I can send about 30% your way. Arizona needs moisture, too.

Btw, I'm jealous of the rock landscaping you have in front of your house, no mowing. Plus you probably don't have to worry about ticks, just scorpions and rattlers. Wait, I'll take the ticks...

... Thanks. I have been here 4 years and seen two harmless snakes both on a golf course and zero scorpions. Saw a Rattler track in the bunker 2 years ago at a course farther south but that's as close as I have gotten. The main difference is virtually no bugs of any kind! Not that there aren't things living/crawling in the ground or on some plants and trees, but no gnats, mosquitos or any of the other flying pests I experienced my entire life in the humid south and midwest. I am sure it is the same for you but in August/September when the gnats could be so bad I had to put some netting over my hat and face like a beekeeper to keep them out of my eyes, nose and mouth. Plenty of jokes abound but "it's a dry heat" is the real deal.

My college town is often dubbed the gnat capital of the world. I do not miss the constant gnats in my face, truck, apartment, pretty much everywhere.

... I loved Athens but didn't go to UGA, I was working at WRFC and it was a great radio station stepping stone. Beautiful city.

Clearly you are playing a little rope-a-dope here .  It looks like spring is late showing up in TN... or is this pretty typical?

Usually we skip spring altogether and go straight to summer. The video was from I think November, I just wanted to show the other competitors what they're up against.

Sympathizing with all the hype behind expected deliveries. I am eagerly awaiting my brand new Taylormade Spider GT and it is killing me. Going out and playing this afternoon, we shall see if the Odyssey #7 will be a good second place...

... Well fella's I guess Cobra felt since they made me wait so long for my bag, they would expedite everything else!   (Label included for verification) Now, don't you feel like you are in line at Space Mountain and the 1 hour wait sign is still 50 yds in front of you?
