Think they're being a bit presumptuous by already laying out Rory's Saturday and Sunday outfits???

Friggin Canadians...I'm up in Montreal a few years ago and I order some chicken wings.  It comes with a side of french fries.  When it gets there, there's only one box.  I'm intrigued.  I open it up and they filled the bottom of the box with the fries, then layered the wings on top of the fries, and then poured about a quart of sauce over all of it.  What kind of backwards crap is that???

You should have slapped them - that's the appropriate response with those Frenchie-talking types.  But they're easy to push around.  I vacationed in Quebec a decade ago, they didn't have the non-smoking room I reserved many months in advance (it was exactly the Seinfeld reservations scene), and instead they stuck us in a suite that smelled like it had been smoked in only a few minutes before.  After complaining to the manager that I didn't care if the interior-view suite was twice as big as the river-view room I had originally reserved, and we couldn't stay in it anyway because my wife and I both had tobacco allergies, he initially tried to tell me they were booked solid.  When I told him we'd take one of the rooms they always hold in reserve, he finally caved and gave us maybe the finest suite in all of Quebec, that normally cost 4x what our original room should have cost.

After that, when we realized what pushovers those Frenchie-Quebec-ers were, every meal we'd walk into a restaurant, state loudly "WE'LL TAKE YOUR FINEST TABLE AND YOU BETER COMP THE HORS D'OEVRES AND CHAMPAGNE - WE'RE AMERICAN, DAMMIT!"   Worked like a charm.  My wife went into a boutique, found a silk scarf she liked and the store clerk stopped us on the way out, I guess to see about paying for it.  We just said "OH, IT'S OK - WE'RE AMERICANS!  NO NEED TO BOTHER" and they just waived us on out the door.

True story (the hotel part, that is).

Drinking a couple manhattans and then yelling Chewbacca after a Dufner drive sounds more fun then doing neither.

That is surprising, especially since the last few were more entertaining.

Will one of our other neighbors to the north please explain to your countryman about the concept of "tongue in cheek."  Saturday is giving you guys a bad name - he may have provided some of the inspiration for Strange Brew.

Bro, it wasn't poutine, it was buffalo wing sauce all over everything...

I know it wasn't actual poutine, but if you don't like soggy fries, you don't like soggy fries. Whatever, I'll say it. I don't like poutine. Or soggy fries of any variety. ;-)

      2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst

      By Vinsk ·

      It’s similar, I think, to people who say, ‘ if I won the big lottery, I’d still keep my job.’ Well, maybe. But when that money comes in….plans change. The necessity of work unless you’re one of the few who truly love their job and financial compensation, can wane real quick when the ‘need’ is gone.  No question these guys love the thrill of playing majors and the fame that comes from winning one. But where’s the thrill of winning a LIV tournament? It’s just the money which they already have. Nobody cares who wins a LIV Championship. It’s like comparing a match with some buddies, drinking, music…ok, you won. LIV will never reach the status of a PGAT major nor many other non-major events. Maybe BD is naive enough to think people taking interest in him will drive more LIV viewership. It won’t. It will just make people wish he was back on tour more than ever.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 46 (17 Jun 24) - Walked the front nine at Minnesott today, with trimmed down back (8 clubs: D, 3w, 4h, 6i, 8i, PW, 54* and Putter).  Knew it would be a challenge to "plan" approaches that the shorter clubs would cover.  Did okay - of the six pars made four were up and downs.  The 54* wedge had a solid day of hitting those infamous short pitches/chips I post about.  Most were within kick-in distance  a couple were in the 8' range.  Overall a 39 scored with three bogies and 0 doubles.  Love the challenge this brings - and to be honest - a lot less stressed as there are fewer options on the table (or in this case "in the bag").

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Been a while since posting so here's an update for today.  Grandson is at golf-camp this week which means I can walk the front nine while he's doing his thing.  Today I opted to play an eight club bag: Driver, 3w, 4h, 6i, 8i, PW, 54* and Putter.  Played from my regular tees and had a blast working the course.  Shot a solid 39 (three bogies, rest pars).  Of the six pars  - 4 were up and downs where the 54 came into play to put the ball in "kick-in" range.  I knew that by limiting the club selection, I would need to plan to play "short" to give me a good easy pitch into the flag.  Today was a good reminder of why the 5 S's are key to making soild gains in your game - here's the link to that thread:

      Long Iron

      By Micho ·

      A newer 3 iron might do it and was kinda hoping Golf galx would let me try new irons. They steered me to a hybrid but I was really trying to do it with an iron.  prolly gonna ride with the 16* Adams hybrid for the summer and see if it will work. 230 off the tee was Impressive(wind assisted but still).
