Whatever you call it, it looks delicious to me and I would love to eat some.  NY style pizza is delicious as well!

I was born and raised in NYC and I've been to Chicago and had thick crust pizza at Uno's, Gino's, etc... and I loved it. I live in Manhattan and I can't for the life of me tell you what "real pizza" is. All I know is I eat lots of these doughy crust things with tomato sauce and cheese on top. The only downside of thick crust pizza is because of the crust, it takes extra time to make so plan in advance if you want it fresh.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

LOL ... impossible ... it's 3 states away!!  My parents drove and met us in Montana, which is the exact same distance away (assuming you are measuring in "states") and it took them 3 days!!!!!!!!

And speaking of non-golfing vacations ... Yellowstone National Park is a fantastic one just for the sights, and for the fishing if you're into it.

Also went to Cancun last year with the family without the golf clubs ... another great time!!

Yeah, any doughy, crusty, saucy, cheesy things are good in my book!  (And they're pizza too!)  Well, except when they're calzones, which are even better!!

What's a vacation? (I'm going to Chicago in a few weeks for two days. I'll play some disc golf on the way there with the family, but that's not "golf", so it counts. I will be enjoying several pizzas, too.)

LOL.  You just gave me a great idea.  Upside down upside-down cake!  It's gold, Jerry!  Gold!!

I'm trying to think of more.  Half-baked twice-baked potatoes, maybe?

I dunno, thats all I got. :)

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
