It is a flu. of course - the Concord is an airplane. A Porsche is a car....... What we're tired of is people purposely misrepresenting this thing for various reasons: to continually and remorselessly and exhaustingly push their pro/anti/etc political agendas (I'm been done with the idiotic rationalization by the fringers to push their shit - this is just a continuation of that - can't expect them to put on hold their sole reason for living the life of total assholiness) to satisfy their desire to under or overstate the situation to blissfully soak in a combination of optimism and ignorance to do what they want instead of what they should (did you guys actual LISTEN to the spring breaker interviews? what a product of today's attempts to brainwash the kids - total backfire - and totally predictable) so the grumble is about human nature be smart - keep your separation - wash your hands - stay nice to others - don't hoard shit other people might need too - don't be assholes. Stop proclaiming what OTHERS should do - just be an example and walk the walk. For me - it's just too much talking. (like my post here). Not enough doing. again, be an example, not a preacher it's not rocket surgery oh - and any time ANYONE quotes numbers - make sure to review your statistics textbooks about sampling, causation, correlation, test patterns, etc. Journalists are NOT known for their mathematical rigor.

A quick search illuminates: Loft, upper space within a building, or a large undivided space in a building used principally for storage in business or industry.

Frankly, I don't like sharing a cart. This could be the upside of ZombieApocalypse/SkyNET and it's totally ruined the 'getting acquainted' ritual of swapping iron covers on the 1st tee That will NOT make the right (and, oh so satisfying) sound. No sir. So sir ree Bob.

It's getting warmer and I'm working from home, so my schedule is more flexible. 2 courses in the area are now open (maybe a couple more). I wonder if this might combine to me playing more - on nearly empty courses. That's my happy place. You know those are not mutually exclusive......

See? there's the problem right there......The level of boredom and irrelevance will serious damage your grey matter I think there's a medication for that

Oh - the TV isn't that boring - usually just a bottle at home keeps me watching it. 1 - I don't know how ticket sales are apportioned. Will this be a burden (lack of expected revenue) at the host venues? Definitely a bust for the concessions support businesses.... 2 - probably will be a better TV event....hard to tell 3 - pretty elite experience for the volunteers, this is the time to help out 4 - No more shouters....yay

your friend makes me chuckle so if he wants to hit "HIS" swing. then make him aim way left and swing away

Gives a whole new meaning to "get your lips off my golf ball" affect me golfwise? we have a trip to Kauai planned and I want to play one day. So if that trip is cancelled, then I'd be affected in golf... I had a work trip to Asia cancelled and one of the guys was going to take me golfing on the weekend - so that's one If the clubhouse runs out of toilet paper...well then yes also

How about yelling nothing and not being an ass? just a thought

You guys are a bunch of scientists. I'm still at the 'fitting' being a reduction in the percentage of shanks.....

minimalist golfer - driver, 3 wedges, putter, and an orange whip great points

I don't much care about dress codes (official or unofficial) when people are getting weird about 'image' or 'tradition'. But I tend to have issues with attire that clearly impacts performance - (i.e., baggy outfits on 'speed' snowboarders is the biggest joke where speed matters but they wear draggy clothes because that's the image - it's senseless, to a lesser extent tennis players wearing jewelry that flops around, rings on hand sports (bowling, golfing, racket/paddle game, etc) - pretty much anything that interferes with the natural motion of whatever sport is being discussed. IMO - swimming and downhill skiers, bicyclists, etc all seem to 'get it'....as do clowns 😄. Other sports seems to handcuff themselves for silly reasons. I find that professional swimwear migrated in a direction I'd have never conceived of....obvious today, but hindsight is what it is...so it's interesting.... That said - golf is mild enough so attire could span a wide range of comfort and performance preferences. Full swings - Pretty much anything that's comfortable, deals with the current weather, and offers a freely moving swing is good. Putting and short game....anything that clearly doesn't hang such that it inhibits the view or swing, or can hide an anchor.... I don't have an issue with hoodies, but i think functionally, it could be an unnecessary distraction, and it addresses weather conditions that is likely better served by more closely fitting attire. If I find something that just looks 'funny', well, that's my issue, regardless of who or how many agree with me or not. Shorts are one of those items - I can make a good case for shorts over pants, or pants over shorts - but it's subjective enough, that I'd leave it up to the individual. There are a lot of really great fabrics out there that could swing the discussion either way, at any time....

I'm not voting at all until we get a Paige Spiranac channel. m'kay

It's actually FIFY (fixed it for you), FTFY (fixed that for you). It's an obvious and blatant indication that the person replying made modification. It's the most up front way to make a point. Seriously, look it up. No one thinks you wrote that when the replier does a FIFY. It's a type of commentary device on social media. It's literally used as - "I'm going to modify your words to demonstrate how they came across to me". All you have to do is note that they replier got you completely wrong with that if you find their interpretation distasteful. I'm not a fan of it, it's usually derogatory. But it's the same as someone just changing the quote in stealth mode. This is the opposite of stealth - it literally signals that the words are not yours anymore. god man, I just took a sip of Dr Pepper and about laughed out loud. Dr P is too much the nectar of heaven to waste on a computer monitor

I would love if the ladies only showed the physical types I'm attracted to. And they have to play well. And interview well. But, sadly, that's not how the world works..... Best to just enjoy the sport, it's much simpler.

I like good golf. My "Fan Favorites" list tends to track with the more consistent winners, and then a short list of players that I appreciate over the long haul. But I don't think I'd ever generalize a complaint over not seeing my short list. I'm a big fan of Rory and also Adam Scott on the PGA. But while they were having their low points, it didn't bother me if they didn't get a lot of air time. The key to good golf entertainment is the level of play of those contending week after week. In both men's and women's, I have a definite bias against players that appear fat and out of shape. I gotta work on that. It's a visceral reaction to an image that's anti-fitness, anti-health. I rationalize it by saying they should be role models, but in reality, TV and movies has indoctrinated my expectation of what we view.

Back to the original topic - About as generalized as I can take it and not feel too dirty - Astros was a group effort to gain an advantage - not explicitly illegal, but very much out of the intent of the game. So golf isn't really a group sport (other than the cups which I can't think of anything equivalent). "Backstopping" is about as close as I can think of....

Stop right there and the point is made - insisting on placating your prejudice by penalizing someone else is more morally wrong that what you want to fix. You want to regulate attitudes and behavior to 'send a message' - that philosophy is completely rife with abuses and unequal application, etc etc etc. (I don't care if it's a game, or laws pertaining to society). I don't really want to see players punished on an ad hoc basis just because they aren't popular. The rules regulate the play of the game. Break a rule? take your penalty and keep going. The penalties are defined. Just because someone 'feels' that's not sufficient is not reason to turn into judge and jury and mind reader. edit: but then I went to your summarized post. I'm good with that. take care

I do wonder what the golf course and homeowner have done to try and get a solution together prior to installing the tall net - or if the discussion was initiated poorly from the get go. Offering to pitch in with the course to plant a few strategic trees would seem to be the most diplomatic first contact. and this - "the quaint and environmentally friendly image"... and the direct appeal to the 'woke' members of the city council...I hate that. What's the truss structure there - a cell tower? a windmill? it's look pretty industrial, seriously a net isn't that much worse. You know what's environmentally friendly? letting your kids get killed by a stray golf ball screaming into your pool. I suspect the owner and the course likely started this conversation with mutual belligerance....

But, seriously, what has he done lately? 😀

I'm going. If possible, I'd try to find a way to let them know in a friendly fashion. One poster noted it above - "Hey, we're not stopping so we'll jump ahead. It's pretty backed up behind you, and we clear at least our group pretty quick". Smile and go. Don't wait for the 'possible' argument.

An eagle on the first hole. So.......that'll set a hard bar to maintain... go get 'em

my longest iron

I shot nothing. Nothing dammit. NOTHING. It's February in Minnesota. crap
