There’s going to be one in 2045, too.

NationalEclipse.com is your one-stop source of information on solar eclipses, including the next total solar eclipse...

I might even be able to catch this one with my DVC points to stay at WDW.

I don't have DVC points but I do have some non-expiring tickets to WDW, maybe we can book a round on one of their courses while we are there.  But also one of the states out west could be cool with much less light pollution.  I just hope I'm around and able to travel since I would be close to 84 years old.

I would bet on WDW doing special events for it and turning off the lights. It would the week before I turn 60. Sounds like a pretty good way to celebrate to me.

Light pollution? And you were in 99.4% and didn’t have glasses? That’s nuts.

I went to watch my son play in a tournament at Eaglesticks on Sunday, and then drove up to my daughter's house in Cleveland Sunday night. We had a great view of the eclipse from her front yard. I was amazed at how dark it got and how instant the darkness came. No traffic problems leaving Cleveland until we got almost to Columbus. Then traffic was slow until we hit I-270. Son said they was a mandatory stoppage in play from 3-3:30 and they handed out eclipse glasses to the players. He said it was too long of a delay and felt it contributed to him going from -1 on the front to +5 on the back. He finished +7 (T9) for the tournament.

I guess I was just not excited enough to line up the glasses.  I should have though.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.

      April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
