I've got a nice spare tire going... My wife is pregnant, so I figured since she is gonna put on some lbs, maybe I should join her? Problem is... She has an excuse. e3_rolleyes.gif

Get used to it pal, pretty sure I packed on at least 10 lbs when we had our daughter.

Interesting fact, Hoser is an old hockey term. Back in the day the team that lost had to hose down the sheet of ice (pre-zamboni era) and hence the term Hoser was born. Now you know.

Ah sympathy weight. I did that with both my wife's pregnancies. It's a great way to show support.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

That's right man. Nothing says I love you more than looking like the Goodyear blimp when you take your shirt off.

We're having twins within the next four weeks.  I've probably gained as much as she has, for moral support.

That remains to be seen.  Normally I try to grab the first tee time so I'm back home around 9 am.  I think I can keep doing that.  The wife disagrees.  We'll see how it goes.

You have a unique situation with twins obviously, so no idea how that will play out.  I suspect though (and this goes for you too Beach) that it will be crazy hectic at first until you guys get into a rythym.  Two things you both have going for you:

1.  Babies sleep A LOT.  (They're like cats)

2.  If they're breastfeeding, you're kind of off the hook there too.

I can't tell you from experience, because I didn't golf at all when my kids were that tiny (not because of them, but because I had just sort of "retired" due to back problems I thought would never improve), but I suspect that you'll both have a short time (weeks, months maybe) where golf disappears somewhat, but eventually you'll figure something out. :)

GD, I just need you Pak and a few others to invite me out.  Then I'll give the wife the 'But my buddies need me!' kind of talk... And maybe she will let me out for a half day?!

No, No, No, you have this all wrong.  Beach have GD call your house and talk to your wife and say he wants to play some golf, but he does not want to mention it to you yet because he doesn't not want to get your hopes up if it will not be OK.  Then GD can say, "I know he has not had much of a chance to play lately, do you think it would be OK to borrow him for just half a day to play some golf."  There is no way she will say no.

That's what I'm counting on.  SWMBO doesn't like the idea of me assuming that I'm going to have time, so I try to keep it quiet while also refusing to give in.  I think when the time comes, things will work out.

I'm available to make these calls, upon request, for a small fee of $1.00/per call.  Just PM me the date/time you want to go out, and my character name.  If necessary, any background info I need to know (i.e., "I'm his co-worker you've never met" or the college buddy you always used to talk about).

Anyone in Houston that I can golf with while wearing my "salesman hat", meaning my company would pay for the golf.

Hhahaha the college buddy thing wouldn't work.  We met in college.  She knows all my buddies and would pretty much immediately shut down the idea of playing golf with any of them. ;)

But she still hasn't met any of us TST tools (cept maybe Pak?) so he can always play that role.  Or just tell her that we've gotten real organized with our Socal group and that you are the president of the group and have to pre-approve any new golfers with a round on the course, or some other BS like that.

      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.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
