Wow, so many to choose from

Red wine, and I think Italian reds are accessible, reasonably priced, and good with food

Beer, or more properly, Ale.  I like pale ales and IPAs, but I think the hop thing is beginning to be overdone.  My home club keeps Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap, and that's just fine with me.

In hot weather, Tanqueray gin, Schweppes Tonic, and lime.

Single malt whisky, my favorite is Caol Ila, a gently peaty Islay malt.  Nothing wrong with good bourbon whiskey either.

I'm not a gin guy but I concur. 

Go to is usually a single malt Scotch. I like variety so can be peaty and salty or smooth. Glenlivet 12 is an excellent average Scotch (if that makes sense) for the price. I always have a bottle of 18 year old something or other though (currently Glenmorangie) and usually a bottle of Islay (currently Laphroaig) for when want something different. If mixing then J&B Scotch and club soda. That was my go to drink forever, it's nicely light and crisp. Usually like a porter or stout during the cooler months. I agree that the hop thing is going overboard. During summer it's hard to beat a margarita on the rocks when playing in the pool.

Lagavulin 16 year single malt on the rocks (sorry purists).  For an occasional bourbon Manhattan I prefer Four Roses Single Barrel.

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey neat, if I can find it.. 110 proof. Excellent.

Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky is a good affordable blend. 

Most craft-brewed IPA's. 

Not above having a Bud Light or a Coors Light on a hot day

I *do not* drink wine or champagne

I had a Scottish friend, and the Famous Grouse (The low flyer as he and his mates often referred to it) was his every-day favorite whisky, for good reason.

I am not that big of a hard liquor fan, so I usually drink red wine.

If I am having a mixed drink, I'll go with a gin and tonic.

I came to Caol Ila through Talisker.  One of the great things about visiting Scotland is the vast knowledge of many of the barmen there.  Looking for a gently peated single malt, I had tried Talisker one evening, and liked it.  On a subsequent evening, I mentioned that to a different barman, and asked if there was something with just a bit less peat, he recommended Caol Ila, and now I'm hooked.  Another slightly peaty malt that I like as well is Ardbeg , which I was told was very big with the German visitors.

Unfiltered Ardbeg is a personal favourite.

Michelob Ultra since going low carb. Norcal margarita.

And for the eggnog for the season. You have to try Evan Williams Eggnog. Just the right amount of sweet and alcohol.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
