There’s going to be one in 2045, too.

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.

      PGA Makes Changes and Adopts My Change I Wanted for Years

      By jxdama · Posted

      I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?

      PXG Brand

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..

      Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By DewSweeper09 · Posted

      I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
