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.

Yeah, got the depressing e-mail that the home course was closed for the season yesterday.

      2025 NFL Draft

      By Elmer ·

      From what I heard over the weekend, Shedeur pulled a "Bo Callahan" with the Giants. Per Todd McShay: “Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit. An install package came in, preparation wasn’t there for it, he got called out on it, he didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it." You can have all the talent in the world (which I am not sure he has, as CU tailored the offense to his strength in a weak division ), but you have to act like a top round draft pick and not like an unproven legend! If you get drafter at 3 as a QB in the draft you are expected to lead that team, and preparation is part of that.  Playing ball in NY (any sport) requires you to deal with criticism, and deal with it as a professional.

      Model Local Rule E-5 in Comps - Thoughts?

      By DaveP043 ·

      I agree that in a pure stroke-play situation the use of E-5 limits the possible scores by limiting the potential to hit multiple shots OB.  But in a Stableford or "quota" game, a player is likely to be in "blob" territory anyway, so its a minimal difference.   I understand that E-5 is viewed differently in different parts of the world, I don't know what the Australian attitude would be, but I don't see a problem with using it.

      2025 NFL Draft

      By saevel25 ·

      Probably hurt him a small bit. I am pretty sure Ward didn’t throw. He probably over evaluated his skill. Which may be his entitled attitude. I agree with the pick at that point. I think he’s closer to an end of the day 2 pick than a day 1 prospect. There has been plenty of QB’s who had similar numbers that don’t thrive in the NFL. It’s easy to get a high comp% in college and put up big numbers. 1) Colorado had to score a lot to win, so they aired it out. 2) The level of competition is low.  Against FBS teams with a winning % he was 70% with 7.5 y/a. Lots of short easy stuff.  Versus Will Howard who had 75% with 9.5 y/a. That 2 y/a is huge.  Cam Ward, 67% at 10 y/a. Look at Joe Burrow, 75% at 10.2 y/a. He was unable to read defenses well enough against FBS teams with winning % to push the ball down field.  I get his o-line was bad, but Miami had an average O-line, not elite and there is a noticeable difference between the two QB’s. They should never been talked as 1A/1B.
