I'd definitely recommend it, their signature hole is a Par 4 with a really neat view... Definitely fun to play. I've gotta finish up finals here in a couple of weeks then work my rear off before I'll have the luxury of even thinking about playing there again

Good luck with your finals.......not Cowboys, I meant just play somewhere in general.....I am golf poor and would rather play somewhere cheaper


Yes I know, I gave my own story and than answered the OP question, will the internet police ever forgive me?

actually the way you wrote it, you presented your own scenario and then answered your scenario.. not the OP's.

I lived in Grapevine for 4 years, it's not the best place to compare societal norms.

This thread is going to go on forever.....I find it offensive, and rude....we wern't born with cigarettes in out mouth so why should I have to suffer from second hand smoke because some prick think's it's his right.....I especially find it annoying when i'm getting ready to hit my second or third shot and their are cigarette butts, or even a cigar butt next to my ball or in the vacinity.....

I absolutely hate cigarette smoke!!!!!

Having said that, if someone is smoking on the course I feel they have the right to do so outdoors. My only request is that smokers don't get right next to me so the smoke blows my way and to not throw your butts on the ground. If I walk up next to a smoker and smell the smoke, well, then I'm the one getting near them and need to move. If the smoker comes near me, they need to go somewhere else. If a smoker is 20 feet away and the smoke is being blown my way, I don't faul them for the smoke being carried that far.

Outdoors I think we can all get along so that everyone is happy.

Pipe smoke, I love that smell!!!!

+1. I like how a guy 4 cars up at a stop light can be smoking a pipe and I can smell it with my windows up. Even when they're driving ahead you can smell it. Not a pipe smoker, I'd feel very Cosmo Kramer doing it.

I didn't mean to hijack your thread bro, lol just had to ward off a few haters is all LOL

No sweat man I can barely start a thread without hijacking it in the original post -- I was just taking advantage of the opportunity to show some hat love is all.

I was in my clubs pro shop and another member walks in smoking a cigar, lol this thing was at least a foot long, but anyways, I asked him if he would take the muffler pipe outside, or I could shove it up his ass to extinguish it, needless to say he made a B-line for the door ...... so is it rude? absolutely

one thing that's always gripped me was on the golf course people will complain about people smoking how it's killing them and more, yet after drinking booze for 18 holes they will climb in their car and drive home..

    • Day 16 - Worked on partial wedges and my hybrid. 
    • But it makes it crystal clear that the major drought had nothing to do with his physique, since he was able to do all of that with that physique.
    • I posted this earlier - includes some reasonable analysis and stats, yes?  Does this help?   ******************** Appreciate your responses—seriously. Agreed - Rory's overall play from 2015–2024 has been elite. Twenty wins, constant top-10s, and staying in the top tier of strokes gained stats year after year is no joke. That only makes the major drought more puzzling, not less. And yes, he’s come close—Carnoustie, St. Andrews, LACC—but that almost makes the argument more interesting. When you’ve got a guy that good, who keeps putting himself in position, why hasn’t he sealed the deal in the biggest moments? I do think his transformation post-2014—adding noticeable muscle, changing his physical profile—might’ve altered his swing tempo, feel, or ability to stay loose under extreme pressure. Not during Thursday or even Saturday—but on the back nine on Sunday, when the mental and physical margins get razor thin, especially at Augusta. Is this stat meaningful?  From 2016–2024, Rory lost strokes to the field on Sundays in nearly half of his major appearances, despite being dominant Thursday through Saturday. That pattern suggests it’s not just bad luck or getting beat—it’s a recurring issue with closing, under pressure. It’s tough to measure pressure in a spreadsheet. And Augusta especially punishes any uptick in tension or loss of touch. I’m not saying “getting jacked” is the sole reason for the drought—but looking for subtle shifts that could explain why a generational talent keeps coming up just short in majors, I think it’s worth considering. And OF COURSE - he finally got to the mountaintop, in extreme, dramatic fashion.  Maybe, as others have said, this will equate to cracking the code and going on a major run for the next 5-10 yrs?
    • He started lifting and gained some muscle mass. Whatever you call it is irrelevant. You still haven’t been able to explain why that was preventing him from winning tournaments. You can have theories of course, but don’t confuse that with facts. In the first post you argue that Rory getting bigger hurt his game, but you failed to explain why and how you arrived at that conclusion. Don’t you see why you were “audited” as you said, when you make those assumptions without a sliver of evidence or explanation? The exact same theories were said about Tiger. He also aquired some muscle mass and people claimed it ruined his swing, but there were no facts to support it.
