thanks for keeping us all updated on the today's rule changes - I would assume that many others like myself might otherwise be unaware of them, or at least unclear on them. Just felt like this post be

Thank you. Honestly, things like this - displays of gratitude and congratulations - here and elsewhere mean more to me than being on the list itself. I hope to meet you sometime here as well

Congrats, Erik! Awesome accomplishment and well deserved. 

 

Yikes Steve Sieracki's on that list though... funny too because I know you've always said these Top Whatever lists were all politics and not an accurate representation of a teacher's skill. You were clearly right about that one haha. 

 

That aside, it's still a cool thing. Congrats again, Erik!

Erik, I know you'll likely downplay this achievement as you have always scoffed at (and righty so) these kinds of "name recognition" contests, but in this case they got it right. Well deserved my friend.

How about that! Ever since joining this forum, and having the chance to meet Erik at the outing at Eagle Creek, I've been impressed. Apparently the folks at Golf Digest were as well!

      Day 66 (15 May 26) - Played in Friday men’s shootout - solid round of 81 (39/42) 7 of the 11 pars were up and down 1 putts (29 total).  Short game came to the rescue….

      Thanks, Matt, for the AI summary.   I found the probability interesting.   It was mentioned that the host talked to a college coach, and no college coaches were knocking down his door trying to recruit him.   He was on the JV team last year, this year being the only time on varsity.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By RickK · Posted

      I started taking my son with me when he was 2-1/2 but only with my regular group.  I asked before I started taking him if they were ok with it.  Everyone was ok with it and they let him ride with them often. And, they had permission to scold him if he was doing anything wrong.  I think the first time I took him and played with strangers he was almost 4.  By then, he knew golf etiquette and was very well behaved.   If the father of the kid in question here did not take proper measures to control the kid...it is not the kid's fault.  The father should know better.  Being the type of person I am, I would have probably politely said something to the kid myself and if the father was not taking care of any mess he made in bunkers I would have definitely asked "Hey, you going to rake the mess he made? How would you like to land in there and have to play your next shot from there?"

      Bailey Shoemaker's Pre-Shot Routine at ANWA

      By RickK · Posted

      One has to wonder what in the world could be going thru her mind standing over the ball and with each one of those take aways and not hitting the ball.  My brain would lock up completely.  If she played with the guys and gals I play with someone would inevitably yell "While we are young" (which we are not) or "just hit the damn thing"
