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

They were promotional balls and not just for Tiger. Retailers were giving out two ball packs if you purchased a dozen Nike Ones.

Dude, re-f***ing-lax.  I wasn't insinuating that you were making racist comments.  I was just pointing out that there are a lot of balls with colors in the name ... but that doesn't mean they are that color.

Yes, but Drew, Nike actually made them in Black (and Platinum, I think) for a short time (promotional reasons). They even got their pros to use them in the Phoenix event.

Yes, I get that ... and had he not flown off the handle, I would have gladly said "my bad" immediately if he just corrected me by saying that they actually made a black ball.

But I had very little desire to "apologize" to somebody who immediately decided I was calling him a racist.

It's the winter depression thread. Maybe he has SAD. :)

Don't want to add to that ... my apologies Hacker! ;)

You seem to be doing a good job at adding to it by yourself...The undertones of your original comment didn't seem very gentlemanly(to me). Golf is supposed to be a gentleman's game,played by gentlemen.  I guess your last comment seems like it's intended to escalate or incite me in some way? more power to ya big guy, you clearly feel in the right and that's OK with me...Have a Merry Christmas!!!  ps If you'er ever in Reno and want to play for some cash shoot me a message on here and I'll take you to my club and pay for your round! cheers!

I give up.

Pretty sure it's impossible for you to take anything I've said in this thread more wrong than you have to this point.

It hit 70 around Phlly yesterday and I was hoping to get a few holes in, but the course was just too wet after all the snow melted and we got about a half inch of rain on Saturday night. I would have had to go over to NJ to play and I just didn't have the time. Too much to do when the days are so short. Bummer.

The only positive thing is that, starting yesterday, the days will get a little longer every day. A little light at the end of the tunnel.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
