My biggest fear is that this will lead to one of our young up'n'comers, like Emelin, to lose ice time.

To the OP: sorry to hijack the thread but believe me this news IS going to be alcohol related for Habs fans.

Where ever BostonSully is right now, I'm willing to bet he's smiling!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I drank a nice bottle of wine tonight then went barefoot putting under a full moon. Thoroughly recommend!

It was my birthday on Friday, and I went out with my twin sister and some of her friends. I usually don't join them for anything involving alcohol; they're all about shooters and syrupy drinks with seven ingredients, while I'd prefer to sip something stiff and simple.

Case in point: when one of my sister's friends offered to buy a round of drinks, and the other male at the table and I voiced our preference for bourbon, she ordered us both Ketel One on the rocks. Much like the subjects of the famous Milgram Experiment , everybody at the table knew that she was messing up the drink order, but none of us had the courage to make a correction. Realizing her error sometime later, she made it up by ordering a second round of Lindsay Lohans.

(That's a Red-Headed **** with a splash of Coke, in case you didn't know.)

I needed to order a Rusty Nail after that, if only to reclaim my manhood after shooting something called a Lindsay Lohan.

It's widely admired, Ernest.

Now where's that dude who wanted to try the Johnny Walker?

I'll be having some drinks tonight at my Boss's house. He's having a going away party for someone returning back to our parent company overseas. I'm hoping for the open bar setup.

Drinking a respectable amount of Bain's Cape Mountain Whisky, a South African grain whisky. It's really good. And cheap (compared to imported Scotch). Which is good too.

I love that guys video! How much did the Bain's run you?  I am just getting into different types of whiskeys and Highland Park 12 scotch has been  my favorite so far. I want to try some Glenfiddich next but that stuff looks interesting.  Not sure I'd be able to get it in the US though.

It's about 150 rand here, which is around $19. By comparison, Johnny Walker Black is about 230 rand, Glenfiddich 12 about 300 rand, Highland Park 12 about 430 rand, Lagavulin 16 about 800 rand.

Don't think it is distributed in the US, but if it was you'd probably expect to pay about $40 based on the UK export price of 25 pounds. Less of a good deal.

Thumbs up for Highland Park 12 anyway. Good value, great stuff. Might suggest trying an Islay whisky next if you haven't already, just to see if you like the peatier expressions. Laphroaig 10 is always a good bet.

Haven't tried this (available in Canada?) but it's interesting to see that they've received the legal right to call it whisky as opposed to whisk ey, to my knowledge, the only distilleries outside of Scotland to have been awarded that distinction in the past are Canada (Glen Breton) and Japan.

To Darkhunter - IMHO Glenfiddich is really only worth it if you go for the high end of their scale. There are some excellent single malts at roughly the same price point as the basic 12yr old Glenfiddich that will give you far more bang for your buck. Recently (in Canada at least) Bowmore has dropped in price making it an excellent choice and it will certainly give you a taste of the more, shall we say, assertive tasting scotch.

I know I've gone on record stating that Johnny Walker is over rated and I generally avoid it however, I would like to modify my position to allow for unforeseen extenuating circumstances ie: if Christina Hendricks is serving it, I'm drinking it;-) HUBBA HUBBA DING DING!!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
