Alright, here we go..... Wow, what a day!  I was so stoked for the day, that over the last couple of days I've had to remind myself that things like this seldom really live up to the hopes and

I just got a call from GolfNow.  I was their top booker in the Orlando area this past year (it helps to book for a small group of nuts just like us) and they asked me if, as a reward, I'd be available

Alright, sorry for the delay, my daughter's birthday was this past weekend and I was tied up.  I'll see if I can't fill in some of the fun stuff now...... Graeme was a lot of fun to play with.

Great report, David, and I look forward to hearing more.

Did the fact that you were the best of the ams take a little pressure off of you?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I was a little surprised. I'm a Guinness man, and expected the same from him, but he was drinking Lagunitas IPA.

When in France, drink wine. When in Ireland, drink Guinness. When in the USA, drink West Coast style IPA. I guess that would make more sense if y'all were playing in California, but seriously western USA IPAs are (IMO) up there with the best beer produced anywhere in the world.

Not as detailed or interesting as your post, David, but there are some other pictures up. You seem to be in most of them.

Few questions:

1) What kind of ball flight does G-Mac have? Does he hit high or low, and does he play more of a fade or draw?

2) He give you any good tips?

Congrats, and glad the experience seemed to live up to, if not exceed, your expectations.

Thanks for the great post @David in FL .  I had money on you breaking 80. :cry: If you shot an 85, I would have been 95 easy!

Bingo Bango, 85!

63....... Unreal!

Both @Rfordeagle and myself had it at 85. When I choose 85 I scrolled back to check but stopped at your post where the contest was announced, it seems he choose 85 prior to the contest opening but he was also the one who suggested the contest!

I'm already a supporter and always will be so I withdraw. @Rfordeagle better re-up his supporter status after the free month though!

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

Thanks Ernest! I guess I'm confused. What's the support for? The new book?

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DeadMan ·

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      By iacas ·

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
