I lost power about an hour ago. Wifi still running on battery backup. Lots of tornado warnings. This is insanity.

Stock up on non-perishable food items my ass...

Seared sea scallops (those 3 weigh in at over 1/2 lb), nicely rare ribeye with butter poached sweet peppers, salad, and and a nice Napa Cab.  :-)

Surf & Turf with a Cab? Might have been better served with a fine Pinot Noir!

My Sis is stuck down there because they made the decision to run too late! The roads were choked, and the fuel situation was getting chancy! I'm waiting for news, but don't know how she'll get it out. She could have a fully charged cell phone, but if the cell towers don't have power, she can't get out!

It's a hurricane, I had to make do as best I could under the harsh conditions... ;-) 

At least it wasn't one of those hideous Chardonnays that are such the rage these days with those who have no palate whatsoever... :-D

I am still in one piece. My patio screen door is hanging on by a thread, but everything else seems ok.

Cool!

However, I heard on a live feed that 58% of FL is without power?

Something like 6 million without power.  It's out all around me, but somehow mine is still on.

Really pretty light damage overall given the storm though.

Ditto!

I'm really glad it wasn't as bad as the weather/climate models predicted.

Glad everybody seems to be okay. Seems like we got lucky in that it was merely a bad storm instead of a historic one. That said...

I'd like to know which Chards those are! The big, fat, "butter popcorn" ones, or those with some acidity and spine! I've had both that I could enjoy, but I don't like extremes! If I had a preference, it would be the latter.

Hope all you Florida guys are ok?

I had been watching it on the news over here and was shocked how strong it was. If we Brits had your weather we wouldnt be able to cope. If we get 75mph "gusts" then the apocalypse is coming!

Looking across my course.  This is 3 holes, 11,12, and 17. 12 is an island green reminiscent of 17 at Sawgrass.  Ordinarily, the crown of the green is at least 8' above the water level.  It's completely submerged.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

      As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
