Pretty good choices

We saw Tomb Raider (new) in the theater last Sunday.   It started good but ended weak.   I'd give it a par but wait for the DVD version.

Isle of Dogs is a movie where being a golfer truly helps describe a synopsis of my feelings. If it were a round of golf, par 72, it would shoot 70, but no pars, two birdies, the rest eagles or double bogeys.

Watched Darkest Hour.  Great movie.  Birdie.  Very interesting to see how Churchill, against all odds, stood by his decision (with a little encouragement) to overcome seemingly unsurmountable odds.  Also very entertaining to see all the back stabbing that goes on in politics.

A Quiet Place. Birdie. Barely. It's good, didn't quite live up to the hype, can't go into it without spoilers. 

I wanted to be scared out of my wits but wasn't that scared. Was very very tense though.

Went to see Tomb Raider over the weekend.  Par for me, decent film based on the game reboot.  Probably could've had a little more Laura Croft on the island alone against the bad guys but still a fun move to watch.

However, I can't wait for this.

Coco - Eagle. I would put this among Pixar's best, the music didn't grab me, may have to re listen to make sure, but great storytelling. 

I agree on the eagle rating.  I watched "Coco" on our flight to Phoenix back in late March.  Cried twice. :facepalm

Our granddaughter (23 years old) and I have pledged to celebrate Día de los Muertos each year after watching the film. We will, of course, put our own spin on the event but I am looking forward to Oct/Nov.

Definite eagle.  I'm Mexican, most of my family still lives there, and there were a lot of little cultural nuances they got spot on.  Definitely an enjoyable movie and a tear jerker too.

I thought so too.  Although I found his motivation a little weak, Thanos was very well done, even for a Marvel villain.

    • Took my wedges in to get regripped and saw the local store had some leftover Pure grips, was pretty excited to see those still around. Got those put onto my wedges, I love these grips, they have such a great feel to them. Also picked up a brand new (opened and second hand) Cleveland Huntington Beach putter for a great price! About %50 of retail. It had been purchased by someone else who decided to buy a different putter and was never used. I love the feel of it.
    • I’m not sure I’m following you. My current plan is to take the bunkers out of play completely and hit something like a 6i to 130-150 range.
    • Day 139- Slow, swings with short practice club. 
    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.
