This may sound like a stupid question but I don't pay much attention to popular culture (well, almost any culture, for that matter),  is it a biographical musical?  

Yes. It's based on/inspired by a biography of Alexander Hamilton.

That's what they want you to think! It's is really a subliminal advertisement for Hamilton Beach Kitchen appliances.

Ive seen the play a couple of times. My wife works in theatre and worked this show for the rogers theatre last season. Ive hung out with most of the original cast at some point over the last couple of years. All really nice people. Javier Munoz, The new Alexander hamilton is acutally miles better in the role than Lin was, and he even admits as much :-$

The soundtrack is indeed super catchy. The kind of stuff that just gets stuck in your head.

Finally saw it and it was phenomenal.  Paid several pretty pennies for the tickets and it was worth every one of them and more.

Nice! Must have been impossible to get tickets around Thanksgiving. Or you knew someone.

Yes, several friends named Alexander, Andrew, and mostly ... Benjamin. :)

Most people go to Broadway shows not knowing any of the music beforehand, at least for the first runs. I'm guessing Hamilton is one of the exceptions. Imho, it's a vastly richer experience when you go in knowing the music, as we all know, we don't "get" a song on first listen many times. There are the obvious crowdpleasers that are catchy immediately, but those songs you get after 3-4 listens, they're the ones that really grab you.

I hope Hamilton helps to change the negative disposition towards Broadway shows. Operas can be too stiff. This is an art form that the US is a master of. It is hard enough to be talented enough to sing, dance or act. To be able to do all three competently is really something. I have a feeling La La Land is going to be really big, at least I hope.

Yes, totally agree.  Part of me worried when I first started listening to this soundtrack many months ago that I would "spoil" the show for myself - in fact, the complete opposite was the case.  It goes by so fast and throws so much at you that I fear anybody going in blind would miss 75% of what is happening.  For anybody on the fence about immersing themselves ahead of time, I'd most definitely say go for it.

When we get a chance, we'll be seeing the la show as well, and bringing the kids. :)

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
