Ok so let's go with Empire Lakes on 12/7.

I will be there! Empire Lakes was the site of the first time I attended a professional tournament -- 2007 then-Nationwide-Tour Event. I played it once after that, too, with a friend-of-a-friend who the summer before had taken me to play my first non-muni course. Regardless. I'll be there. No telling how I'll compare to my handicap, but I'll be there.

My daughter has two interviews/open houses at the two high schools she likes on that weekend. One each day. I don't think I can make either day, especially Sunday. Sorry guys. :cry:

Of course, if we could make it after December 20th, my son could go too. He has finals the week before. :roll:

Ok so far we have a foursome. Does that count as an outing? ;-)

Not sure if it's technically an "outing" but we should still play! :)

Does Empire Lakes allow 5-somes? If not, we need a few more to make this outing work. I haven't seen @Pakoh in awhile, but I did talk to his buddy Jason last week and he is available to play that day. That would make 6...

I know that @bplewis24 and @jefkve were on the fence about this one... so, do you think you guys can make this one?

It doesn't look good for me.  Seems like my recovery is a bit slow and I'm still not able to put a lot of weight on my knee yet.  I think I'll probably have to sit this one out.

Pakoh and Golfswine are both out because they have their league that weekend.  But if we can get @jefkve and Jason, then we're at what, seven?

Shouldn't be hard to at least get two foursomes.  How about some of the newer guys who haven't played yet like @No Mulligans or @Hammer 4 ??

Yeah, you should still go.

All I can say is my wife and daughter arranged the interviews on the "open days", and that my golf takes a back burner. Well, I guess I can't complain since I am playing pretty much daily anyway.

Thanks for the shout out.  I'm booked up that weekend.  Next year I'll be retired by the fall and can plan ahead.  Oh yeah, and I'm planning on my HI going down by about 4 strokes or so.  That way you all won't have to give me more than 1 stroke per hole. ;-)

Hey all. I'm still available dec 7th, but I'll throw it out there. We have 5 guys right now. If we are not able to get another confirmed 4some, I will volunteer to bow out. I'm also playing on December 6th, so I'm pushing my luck already, as other new fathers can attest.

    • I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger. 
    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top. 
    • Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.     
    • Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
