(I don't think this quite fits into the other threads on the topic of the drink...)

I went for a drink at the lab fridge the other day, and noticed I had left Ralph's brand sweet tea and Newman's lemonade in there. I mixed the two and it wasn't quite a normal Palmer, but it tasted pretty good just the same. A labmate of mine makes them with green tea sometimes, although I haven't tried that.

What's your favorite tea and lemonade combination when making an Arnold Palmer? Is there anything I should try? Anything I should avoid?

I personally like the Arizona one the best. My mom made some with some normal lemonade and ice tea but I do not like the ice tea taste too much so I added alot more lemonade.

The Arizona Arnold Palmer is very good. I like Nantucket Nectar Half & Half (the real name of half iced tea, half lemonade) the best. I've never tried to make my own half and half, so no help there. Try the Nantucket Nectar; you won't be disappointed. (I'm pretty much a fan of every N.N. flavor, so IMO you should try a bunch of their combos.)

a john daly!!!! hahaha. I would think jack daniel's lynchburg lemonade (if its still available) and ice tea would be a nice fit to for the over 21 crowd.


But my favorite Arnold Palmer is from a Arnold Palmer owned course in St. Louis, MO. Its the perfect drink for a hot day.

    • Day 567, May 22, 2024 Back yard work, reflections in the windows work. 6I. Mizuno.
    • So far as I can tell, he's talking about how the distance from ball to hole on the ground does not line up with the distance from eyes to hole on the ground - that's gotta go down the longest line of the triangle. So 9 feet away on the ground is about 10.8 feet away (if your eyes are 6 feet off the ground). 3 feet away and you're 6.7 feet away. 3 feet should be 1/3 of the break as 9 feet, but your finger measure is really 6.7/10.8, which is roughly double the measure.  But outside of 9 feet, as he shows in his chart it makes barely a lick of difference. I can't tell the difference between 2% and 2.2%, so 9 feet and 15 feet are pretty much the same. Inside of 9 feet, where it starts making more of a difference, the using the lower lip for the start of your finger measure is pretty close to being about right anyway. That might start to break down if you have a 4% slope and you're 3 feet away, but that's basically unpinnable and not something you're going to come across unless you're playing in some sort of greenkeeper's revenge event. Then all bets are off anyway. AE is designed to be pretty darn close to what the real number is. It has some flexibility in it (the bend of your elbow for example) to iron out some of the stuff that won't quite line up exactly right like green speeds, uphill vs downhill etc. 
    • Havent used it much yet but the thing i liked is that you can enter launch monitor data into it and preview courses with your shot patterns
    • Always give you something that can give you feedback. The brain works by slowly rewiring neural pathways that by doing a comparison between what you were doing before to what you need to do. 
    • My practice green has 2% slope across a lot of it and 9 foot putt with 2% slope is nowhere near 27" of break. It's like half of that. I'll measure it myself tomorrow. I also don't really understand what point you're trying to make, are you trying to say that the green reading system that is used by like tens of thousands of golfers including plenty of tour players and caddies is incorrect and I'm supposed to believe that based on a couple lines you typed in a spreadsheet? I don't get the whole eye height vs ball height thing. You mean to tell me you actually laid on the green at ball height and measured with your fingers?
