Congratulations on 10 years! I created an account on 3/22/06 and have held a few roles during the years. The best thing for me was the opportunity to write for the TST for several years and meet and play golf with some incredible guys in PA and NC. Erik is a friend and it's been great to see this site and his other endeavors succeed. Here's to another 10+ years! Alan

Enjoy Camp Randall! Night games are a special festivity to say the least. As for the Badgers, the schedule hasn't been the greatest and the defense (which is not as good as last year) has not been tested yet. The offense however is much better than last year with the addition of Russell Wilson. They've barely had to run it down people's throats so far as he's been that good (and WI is three deep at tailbabck). I think you are right with the 7-10 point spread. I don't see a blow-out but it could be some offensive fireworks with both teams. Enjoy the game! Alan

Best post in the thread!

Norm, Great story and thank you for sharing. Stay safe and keep us up to date with your activities. Alan

Nick, Welcome to The Sand Trap! Enjoy your time participating in the forums. Welcome! Alan

I golfed with a guy a few years ago that had the same issue. He swung so hard he caved in a driver and 3-wood almost every year. Crazy. FWIW, I have nothing but great luck with TM customer service with a couple of drivers in the past. They should be able to help you out. Alan

I would call Callaway's customer service # and relay the serial number to them. http://www.callawaygolf.com/Global/en-US/CustomerService.html

Might be the coolest event of the three this weekend.

The LPGA plays two weekends in a row! Hard to call an event "classic' if it has only been around since 2007. Who wins?

The guys tee it up at Cog Hill! Discuss.

Personally, I would stay away from Wal-Mart on Black Friday (it will be a zoo) and what little golf equipment they have probably won't be on sale. As for deals on Black Friday, I know Golf Galaxy had a few last year. I have better luck hitting up the local golf shows like: http://minnesotagolfshow.com where the discounts were pretty good (check for your local area). As for other deals, I would check with our sponsors, http://shotly.com and http://naileditgolf.com who have some great deals going right now. Alan

Delusional is about all I can say although I guess with any hobby, we all spend an obscene amount of money on it.

Who wins the BSC this year? I'm such a homer so I'm picking the Badgers but OU looks pretty good.

Might as well start the trash talking now! Go Badgers!

Right now, Surly Furious .

The PGA is hanging out at the TPC Boston this weekend! Who's your pick?

Nice to see the PGA Tour embrace technology. It will be interesting to see what the financial terms are. http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/6916777/new-pga-tour-broadcast-deal-includes-web-focus http://www.pgatour.com/2011/company/09/01/Broadcast.announcement/index.html#

In the U.S, there isn't much of a fuss for the LPGA, which is too bad. Personally, I don't think the Solheim Cup is going to get people to come to Ireland to golf. Your courses already do a great job of drawing people.
