Ha I knew where that was without looking at the sign. Hobby's is a well known Devil's stomping ground.

Did you get the King Henrik soup? 😜

It's good to know there is Hockey in Bama. Life is short, just do it. Best of luck Wade, I hope it all works out for you.

So...I went through a weekly skills camp late spring, and signed up for rec league.  3 games in as of last night.  The first one moved a little quick for me, but the 2nd was better; then last night I played pretty well.  Playing first-line C, scored my first goal of the season on shift #1 just about 30 seconds in.  Got a good shot that was padded over and recovered by my RW who shot, and his rebound popped out to me.  It was a bouncer, but I had been working on that some in my practice and got solid contact to pot it firmly in the empty half.  Felt nice.  Should've had #2 in the 2nd--got a good backhander off from about 15' right in the slot with the goalie recovering and just his stick to get over...but didn't get the elevation I needed (which sucks, because I work on that a lot).  But anyway, the game is really starting to slow down for me, so I'm hopeful.  It's frickin' fun, even though our team needs work...lots of work, haha.

Re: minor leagues:  Our SPHL Bulls are playing for the championship this weekend...against in-state Huntsville, to boot.  Pretty cool, because Birmingham was dead last last season, and have a chance to win it all this year.  The first rendition of the SPHL years ago was awful, but I've been to a few this year and the quality of the hockey is actually pretty good for low-level minors.  If only our ticket prices weren't highest in the league! ($22 sides; $30 down low).  Hoping to go to game one Friday night, though.  Hope they can pull it off.

Holy crap. 

SPHL is sub-ECHL. The only thing keeping it from being the bottom is the silly Federal League.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
