I'm in Bangkok for business.  Within 4 blocks of my hotel (Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit) I have two high end shopping malls, many nice restaurants, shops where you can get custom made suits, counterfeit shops, Soi Cowboy (look it up) and many massage parlors with "ladies" with matching outfits.  All the while working folks, tourists and school children are bustling around this.  And this is the nice section of Bangkok.

That being said, everyone here has been very nice.  The city is nicer than some I have seen in the world.  And the food is fabulous.

I LOVE Bankok! I'd be happy to recommend some places to visit, but that was back when I was 28, single....and anything you caught could be cured with a shot in the ass! FWIW, Pattaya Beach is an easy 2 hour drive and WELL worth the trip, or at least it was 30 years ago. :-)

I never understood the opening to that song.

I mean, I like it, but I don't understand why it's there. :)

Totally agree, I think it takes away from the song..Likely some producer thought it would be cool....NOT!!

I was in Singapore for 4 days and now Bangkok for three.

No time to head down there unfortunately.  But we did run the gauntlet of Soi Cowboy last night.  I did not see Bradley Cooper anywhere.  It was actually much tamer than I expected.

I just flew in from Bangkok and boy are my arms tired!

Jet lag always seems worse coming back for me.  I got home at 11PM last night and slept until 10AM today.  Usually I wake around 5 AM without an alarm.  I did the same during the whole trip, 4:30 - 5:30.

It was a nice trip. Nice people, good food and none of the long hours at a factory that I sometimes have.  Good to be back though.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By Elmer · Posted

      Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. Which I believe used to host a LPGA tournament. Fantastic course, compared to what I typically play. So fantastic I carded a 115! in my defense it was 90 degrees by 9 am in late July. Not to mention whatever grass they had around the green was absolutely foreign to me, I could not get my wedge through it. The entire grass came up like it was a piece of shag carpet. Suffice to say my short game was a mess. but good times!

      The most important thing in my mind was Akshay responding all day Sunday. He was 2 over and five back at the turn and just get grinding. bridies galore and then on the fifth he bogeyed and on the sixth he played it far enough right that if he missed a little left it would be right by the hole. It was and he made the eagle. Stayed in it, kept playing great and kept getting pars. He very much deserved the win.
