Our moderators (of which I'm one, though I'm not on much) try to do this once a user reaches 25 posts and is being somewhat active.

http://thesandtrap.com/a/faq#user_using5b

New users have been told of this rule in their "welcome PM" for a week or two now as well.

And if you don't like it or want to change it at any point in time, just visit your user profile: http://thesandtrap.com/user/username (where the last part is your username).

it took me a while to realize I knew how to change mine, after I changed it to nothing to Patrick Star, to Gohan SSJ2, now to my current Jesse Lacey's Jesus guitar......

I'm going to be dating myself here, but Neil Young used that line in his song, My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) in 1979.  I'm guessing Kurt borrowed it.

Oh, I've been told. He put it as the last line of his suicide note, kinda creepy. But I guess he kind of made it famous, the same way no one would know about Molly's Lips or the Vaselines without him. I'll probably change it soon anyhow.

You date yourself by attributing it to Neil Young, Domenic dates himself by attributing it to Kurt Cobain ... just like I date myself when I say I only know it from Def Leppard.

I LOVE rock music. But I just don't know, those names sound country.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
