Okay so I jinxed myself. A new King Soopers super store opened near my house and in Brighton CO this is a big deal. I ate my usual rice plate for dinner and we went in just to see what it was like. I left with a colossal cupcake, seriously it was labeled colossal cupcake with about an inch of flowery frosting, about the size of a large grapefruit. Like a dumbass I ate the entire thing and woke up with a serious sugar hangover.

Yeah I'll probably fire up the grill soon. I make a wicked burger with pork belly bits and minced onion topped with pineapple, x-sharp cheddar and Korean BBQ sauce. Friday I meet some folks at the course and someone brings dinner to eat out there, we rotate each week. So will see what happens later.

Dave :-)

When in the south, one has...

BBQ tacos?

There are two BBQ taco food trucks that operate near me. I've been eating Korillabbq tacos for awhile now - that's BBQ tacos with a Korean twist - kimchi.

And also Mexicue.

What can I say. I am a junk food junkie in very extreme moderation. Of course this pisses my doctor off immensely. He says a lot more proteins, and a lot less carbs. I figure we are even since he does not listen to my golf tips, and I tend to sometimes stray away from his medical instruction. Some days a guy just has to have that "incredible chili cheese dog" or that "ultimate cheese burger".  Throw in a little Taco Bell for a laxative, and those extra proteins have a better place to do their job.

You get a free pass for the dim sum :-D Ended up sauteing the okra in some grapeseed oil. Salt and pepper to season, plus a little fish sauce to finish. Big pod was too fibrous, but I knew that was going to happen. Pretty good otherwise. I wonder what other subtropical plants I can get to grow here?

    • Maybe it would have gone in.  Maybe it would have hit the back edge and continued rolling 4 or 5 feet past.  What I am completely certain about is that the flagstick slowed the ball and kept it close enough for an easy tap-in.

    • No way that ball doesn’t go in with the flag stick out. That’s just a rare one there.
    • I started off playing the Kirkland balls this year.  I haven't seen scuffing any different than any other tour ball.  But I usually start with a new ball every round and retire the used ball to the practice pile.  I've gone through maybe two dozen balls, losing some and retiring some.  But last round I played a TP5 and now seriously having second thoughts on the Kirkland ball.  I think the Kirk's perform well in a simulator but in real life they just don't fly as far, launch lower, and have too much spin on the driver (for me).  Sure you can spin the crap out of them with a wedge.  But there must be a difference in the aerodynamics.  With the TP5 I was hitting my drives 10 to 20+ yards further on average and much higher launch (hole by hole vs last time I played the same course).  But that was just one round so who knows (e.g. temperature, wind, fairway firmness, etc).  But definitely a difference off the driver.  5 wood carry was 15 yards further.   You can look at data on MyGolfSpy at the differences: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/golfspy.t/viz/MyGolfSpy2021GolfBallTest/2021GolfBallData But do they do these tests by actually hitting balls into a real range and measuring where they land?  I doubt it.  Simulator tests assume an aero profile given the launch and spin.   So is kirkland a good value, absolutely especially if you lose balls every round.  But is there something left on the table?  Probably.  Maybe not 20 yards of driver, but my gut says it's not exactly optimal for me.  So i got a box of TP5's and am going to test out the difference next couple rounds.
