The only thing that I am willing to get out of bed for that early in the morning and stand around wearing way to many layers of clothing to fight the cold is tailgating for a football game.

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

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the meat in the grocery store comes from animals that had to be killed too......

Being out there enjoying the outdoors, watching deer, that is fun to me. Actually shooting one, not very fun at all. I have not taken a deer here in WI for about 4 years. I usually just watch them

My son learned this weekend that sometimes it is okay to just watch and enjoy.

For those that wonder if we have any decent deer down in Florida, these walked through my front yard this morning.  Out of season of course.....

Nice bucks! Warm weather and big deer, sounds like a good combo. I actually rather enjoy the cold, crisp morning hunts up here in Northern MN, except when it gets down to sub-zero... then it's just brutal.

I'm with you.  Grew up in Wisconsin.  Just can't get used to hunting when it's 80 degrees out.  Give me a nice, crisp morning with a little snow any time.  But yeah, sub-zero and I'm staying in bed.

Really the only hunting I'll do when it's below freezing is duck hunting. We don't get that too often in Louisiana or Texas, but every now and then it gets fairly cold.

The mornings are a little crisp in the San Angelo area come November.  Not bad though compared to here in WI or where I grew up in MN.

True. To be fair, I've only hunted in extreme South and Southeast Texas. Out west and up in the panhandle, it can get pretty cold at times. Like you said, still nothing compared to WI or MN.

I could live anywhere in TX.  Absolutely love it there.  Great golf too.  My bro married a girl from DFW.  Got to play Riverside(I think) and Texas Star before the wedding last year as well and loved it!

Texas is great, but Louisiana is still home. For a hunter and a fisherman, it's paradise.

Haha. Louisiana definitely doesn't have the volume of quality courses that Texas or Florida have, but there are a few that are really top-notch.

Tried that for the first time as well this year. So much fun. There are a bunch of lakes here where carp are a big problem.

I typically hunt turkeys in the spring, ducks and geese in the early fall. The month of November is my favorite though. First I bowhunt the rut as much as I can. Then rifle season always falls on Thanksgiving week. Some old buddies that grew up here come back to hunt and hang out. We have a shack that about ten to twelve guys are regulars at, so I spend the week out there. Its a great time. If I do not have much venison by that time, I will bowhunt the late season. Temps can get pretty cold, but I do not sit long that time of year. Just looking to shoot a doe or two by then. That is pretty much what I hunt for, but I am up to try just about any kind of hunting.

That sounds like a lot of fun. I know we have some carp problems in MN too, so I'll have to look into that.

Yeah I used to live in Rockford MN and there are some spots around there I think that people can go, but I am sure they are in a lot of places.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
