Dollar weeds.  How to get rid of dollar weeds.   I put Scott's Bonus S on them a couple of months ago, and now I have a massive amount of them in my yard.

I feel like the weed killer companies put seeds of weeds that don't get killed off with the marketed weed killer in them so they can sell other types of weed killers. . . It's like selling steer manure, lots of seeds for weeds there too or whatever cows like to eat and can't digest! :whistle:

 

Also, I'm still looking for that "Ground Forces" thread. I was told my stance was too narrow, then widened it and got better shots as a consequence. More stable platform for my upper body? Or more "ground forces"? IDK. I'm leaning towards more stability and other than just providing a solid foundation that there are no actual ground "forces". What do you guys think? Or was this too "golfy" a discussion for this thread? :-D

Either way, my gripe is this new site has a terrible search engine. The old one was at least serviceable. . .

Well as you know Marty, dollar weeds are just catastropic and running america. Worse than any period in history. I have a very important and very secret plan to battle dollar weeds, and it will be the best plan you've ever seen. Guaranteed.

You can never go wrong with ground forces, Lihu. Rip up that grass when you swing! I prefer a balanced and athletic feel at address. Like a cat stalking its prey through the weeds..

They're edible. . .

 

Although, that's a heck of a lot of egg roll wrapping! It'd be interesting how they taste with mozarella, basalmic and olive oil? :-D

Yeah, it certainly feels more solid and balanced.

Is Arianna Huffington giving foraging advice now? Sad!

Have an artificial turf yard.  Good for practice and easy to maintain. :-D

It's kind of like artificial Christmas trees. They last forever, but have no "character". Weeds add some character to any lawn. Some more than others. . .

You have the artificial lawn and then plant trees/shrubs with just enough room in the turf for the trunks to grow.  hmmm, i may have to try it, without my wife knowing... makes picking up dog poop easier tho!

I'm not going to ask if this is based upon a personal experience or not. . . :-D

My swing now has a wider more comfortable and solid stance. I feel "healed". . .thanks.

My brother broke up with his girlfriend because among other things she stole/withdrew thousands from his bank accounts.  By his account, she was withdrawing a grand a day and stashing it away out of his various accounts for a period of time, alternating between accounts.  His office manager was the one that discovered all this. 

Now they are back together, he's making excuses/lying ("I blew it all out of proportion"), and they are soon to be married.  I think it's a disaster.  He won't take my advice to get a prenup and we no longer talk/phone each other on our regular weekly basis.   Should I go to the wedding and miss my regular golf round with my buds?  Should I congratulate him/her?

Your duties as a brother are to be preventing this arrangement. Since he has obviously taken leave of his senses. If the wedding happens, it will be then your task toss grenades all over that joint like they're softballs. No shirt? No shoes? No problem!

Hey, you're good at this.  And my story is true.  He's 56, I'm 59, I don't seem to have any influence on him.  I'm having dinner with my niece, his daughter from a previous marriage.  Dicey situation.  So far I've let her take the lead on any discussion regarding this disaster with her dad.  So far she hasn't brought it up.

    • It feels like Rory blew his load on the 18th at Augusta. Maybe everyone is underestimating how much that took out of him. Watching McGinley whaling in 'Roaddie' for not stopping by to talk to the press was bit of drag. The dude has given so many interviews and so much of himself over the years, he outghta be able to play with house money sometimes. Jeez, leave him the fak alone.
    • Some positives playing in league tonight.  1st) Making the backswing a more lateral shift, and feeling the left leg and torso resist the turn at the top of the swing is helping out a lot. I got to feel an uncomfortable amount of pause in the backswing to set up the downswing.  2) I need to do a bit of more arm stuff better. Still too much draw or pull draws for my liking.  3) Short game is getting sharp. Many tap-ins tonight. I am trying to make the shortest backswing possible for the shot. It really forces me to stay aggressive with the pivot.     
    • Day 43 (12 Jun 25) - Return of the net in the backyard as I set it back up in anticipation of some work with the R10 in coming days.  Used it to hit a few iron shots into the net with the 7i before wrapping up the session with the wedges.  
    • Shame to see Rory crash on the back nine. Nice to Spieth play well. Looking forward to seeing Brooks collapse…😂
    • Day 255 - 2025-06-12 Played 18 holes. Started to over-do the crap out of my thing for holes 9-15 a bit, then refreshed it and finished out really well.
