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. 

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

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 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.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
