I finally started working to remodel the vintage '70s basement we had in our house since we bought the house 3 years ago. I'm putting in a wet bar that has a soffit with 3 recessed lights above it. We have a pool table which will be set up about 8 ft. out from the bar and past there we'll have a couch and HDtv. There will eventually be a 28" LCDtv in the left corner behind the bar.

I don't have pics of what it looked like before I gutted it, but that dark paneling was there which we're going to prime and paint a lighter color and they had dark blue old carpet down there.

Gutted, before I started to frame it out:



There were two sliding doors here that led to the laundry area. I took those out and put in this wall with a pocket door to close the room off.





Start of the base. The bar is 9 ft. straight out, then L's 60" to the left. It extends out from a false wall I framed to hide the plumbing and electrical line. It will have a top that matches the bar top to make a ledge to rest drinks on.







This is the finished upright frame. You can see the soffit with the lights on above it.

In my Callaway stand bag:

Irons 3-SW: Callaway X-14 Steelhead

Lob wedge: Cleveland 60 degree

I wish my basement was inviting enough to do something like that.

Unfortinatly. My basement is the room that I dread going into. At one time it was decent, but it has that rare basement musty funk smell. We had insulated the walls and wrapped the insulation in fabric (for sound purposes) when I had a theatre down there, but have since pulled the fabric down, so there is a huge wall of exposed insulation. I hate my basement.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

You do realize this takes time away from golf.

Seriously, great project, don't forget to post some pic when you're done.

I'm going to be doing some finishing of our basement in our DE house. It's a walk out with big windows and a sliding door so it will be a nice area when done. I'm going to use an acid stain on the concrete floor this week. I wanted something that was not too formal and I'm cheap so this fit the bill at about $0.65 a square foot for 1000sf.

You're lucky, you don't need a permit, I have to go own up to the gubmint.

thanks everyone- actually, golf is taking away from me working on this but my plan all along was to just take my time with it and pay for things slowly. Aug 1st has been my deadline all along- just in time to throw a "stock the bar party" and then get ready for Buckeye football Saturday's and Browns football Sundays.

Nope, the door mat is U of M. We like to wipe our feet on it, much like how Jim Tressel wipes his feet all over that program...

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Pia Nilsson. I've read a couple of her books. "Be A Player" and "Every Shot Must Have A Purpose".  I read them back maybe 10 years ago. ... maybe 5? ... pre-pandemic anyway.  Good memory.

      Enchanting Golf Traditions (From Around the Globe)

      By Nave ·

      Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.

      It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.

      I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea.
