Whatever you call it, it looks delicious to me and I would love to eat some.  NY style pizza is delicious as well!

I was born and raised in NYC and I've been to Chicago and had thick crust pizza at Uno's, Gino's, etc... and I loved it. I live in Manhattan and I can't for the life of me tell you what "real pizza" is. All I know is I eat lots of these doughy crust things with tomato sauce and cheese on top. The only downside of thick crust pizza is because of the crust, it takes extra time to make so plan in advance if you want it fresh.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

LOL ... impossible ... it's 3 states away!!  My parents drove and met us in Montana, which is the exact same distance away (assuming you are measuring in "states") and it took them 3 days!!!!!!!!

And speaking of non-golfing vacations ... Yellowstone National Park is a fantastic one just for the sights, and for the fishing if you're into it.

Also went to Cancun last year with the family without the golf clubs ... another great time!!

Yeah, any doughy, crusty, saucy, cheesy things are good in my book!  (And they're pizza too!)  Well, except when they're calzones, which are even better!!

What's a vacation? (I'm going to Chicago in a few weeks for two days. I'll play some disc golf on the way there with the family, but that's not "golf", so it counts. I will be enjoying several pizzas, too.)

LOL.  You just gave me a great idea.  Upside down upside-down cake!  It's gold, Jerry!  Gold!!

I'm trying to think of more.  Half-baked twice-baked potatoes, maybe?

I dunno, thats all I got. :)

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
