Bad Words, bogey.

Most of the funny parts were in the previews, and you didn't even care about why he was in the Spelling Bee at all.

Particle Fever, Birdie.

But… it's also right up my alley. My wife would likely rate it as "X, Picked Up after 12 minutes."

I don't watch a lot of moves but I watched The Impossible (which my wife had recorded).

I would say it lipped out a birdie because it reminded me of a made for TV movie in some ways and I thought some near miss sighting scenes were a little corny and predictable.

I did think the acting was really good, the tsunami scene looked realistic, and the actual story it's roughly based on is amazing.

Nicholson was good, but the movie was poorly translated imo.

Tim's Vermeer . Awesome in parts. Thought it might be an eagle, but it ended in a bit of a dud note so just an easy birdie.

I thought exactly the same thing. Once he was finished, there was very little post analysis. I wished there were more coverage of the differences between original and copy, but that the original is kept under wraps makes that hard. Hey, thanks Queen Elizabeth. I instantly thought of that corner sign from an Apple presentation. The one where liberal arts and technology cross.

I went to Fury this weekend.  It was good, so I'm giving it a par.  Maybe I've seen too many recent war movies, but I find that the shock effect of people getting blown away in combat less startling.  That being said, I liked the premise.  Some of the supporting cast got on my nerves a little, but there's a lot worse you could watch out there.

On the flip side, I watched Captain America: The First Avenger and followed it up with The Winter Soldier.  The first one gets an easy par, and the follow up is still an eagle after multiple viewings.  Guardians Of The Galaxy was a lot of fun, but TWS is easily my favorite super-hero flick.

Interstellar - eagle.

Watched it Tuesday so I've had a couple of days to let it settle in. Yes, it's long, maudlin at times and parts can seem contrived, but for me, it held together, the cinematography, that last half hour, I was totally rapt, it was fantastic, what a combination of science and storytelling. I watched all the trailers and read many reviews and did not get spoiled, and if someone gave away the last chapter to me, I would be pissed. Ending was emotionally satisfying and pulled at the heartstrings, I was dusty, a little bit like a Spielberg movie. Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, yeah, it's loud, but his choice of using the organ and the piano a bit fit perfectly for a space movie. The space scenes are epic, Alright, alright, alright did a fine acting job, as did the supporting cast, it was cool to see Lithgow and Caine together. See this movie in IMAX if at all possible.

    • Day 52. Trying to work on hard pan lie pitching in the rain in the yard. 
    • Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.
    • I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel? 
    • So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.
    • I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.
