Really?? In Canada, ginger ale and ginger beer are very different. Ginger beer typically has a massive ginger hit, kinda burns the nostrils.

Ginger ale is much less pronounced, something kids can drink, ginger beer not so much.

Actually, you're probably right but everyone tends to use the two names interchangeably over here. Not sure there's formally a difference but there're definitely some pungent versions and some that are pretty tame.

Good idea. Great way to relax after putting my 8 month old twins to sleep. The brown liquid in the test jar is an English brown ale I just transferred to a keg. Very excited for that one. Should be ready in 2 or 3 weeks.

Get those ice cubes outta there quick before it's too late!!!!! :scared:

@dsc123 instead of ice, just add a few drops of spring water. It will still soften the scotch a bit and open up the bouquet. Ice tends to carry a stale "freezer" taste that you don't want in your scotch and chilling the scotch deadens the vapours and hence the flavours. I actually sometimes steam my glass quickly with the espresso machine before pouring to get more vapours.

A rather large Margerita this evening. Forgot how addictive they can be...

Nice! Happy paddys day! Any reason to drink Guinness and bushmills for a night is good by me! Although I got carried away and drank 6 pints more than my usual 5!.. Again!

A new one for me from Tin Roof Brewing in Baton Rouge. A nice dark porter brewed with mocha and French roast coffee. Really quite nice.

Still drinking the Speyburn 10. However, tonight I decided to finally @Ernest Jones 's tip about only adding a couple drops of water instead of my usual couple ice cubes... Well EJ, it seems that you may in fact know what you're talking about... :-P Much better for sure.

Enjoyed a glass of Macallan 12 the other night ... very enjoyable. An easy drinker for scotch. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/93533/] [/URL]

So I got me a bottle of this yesterday, very nice!! Some nice flavors going on, and only $52 in my neck of the forest.

Nice!  I think Macallan 12 is one of the outstanding values in whisky.  I actually prefer it over the 18. :beer:

Now you're drinking scotch! :beer:

$52?? That's a great price. Macallan was one of my first real scotch love affaires. If you ever have a chance to taste the 25 year old, do it!

Yeah, it's finished in an old Sherry cask, those ones always have that nice sweetness to them. Another one to try in that category is GlenDronach.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
