Played Atlantis today in Lake Worth. Was honking about 20 mph all day. So grateful I was golfing and not picking up debris. The course was in great shape too!

It was pretty windy up here too. It would be a typical spring or fall wind for Ohio, but it was definitely blowing harder than I've experienced since moving down here. There were a few trees down on the course. One landed on the 7th green and tore it up a little.

I was in Disney World last week with the family. They closed the parks early on Thursday and all day Friday. Once the curfew was lifted Friday afternoon, they opened Disney Springs up so people could get out of their resorts for a bit.

They got a lot of rain and wind, and some trees came down. Nothing too crazy there. There was a lot of damage along I95, down trees, busted billboards, and some debris on the road.

There were a lot of power outages in GA, SC, and NC that I saw. Lots of flooding in NC. Had to get off 95 twice and drive through local towns. It was dark but you can tell the flooding was pretty bad.

Crud.  What a shame to have that happen during your stay.  I hope you were able to salvage some fun with Mickey nonetheless!

I wish I had known you were in town. We could have met up for dinner. Hope you had a good time.

We got pretty lucky actually. They canceled the Halloween Party on Thursday which we decided to do on Tuesday months ago when we were planning everything and we ended up finding a room for an extra night because I didn't want to drive into the storm on the way home so we didn't even miss any park days in the end. Kids had a great time!

I thought about shooting you a message but I had no time this trip. We came down with another family so we were busy all week. I didn't get to golf :~(

Next time I go back I'm bringing the clubs and we'll get together.

No worries. It would be awesome to have you down. It would be nice to have a meetup in the spring for all you northerners who want to escape the ice and snow. 

Sorry the weather sucked. Too bad you didn't come this week. It's absolutely gorgeous here.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
