My wife and I have been looking for a place to go on our honeymoon (we've been married for two years), so I pretty much research every resort someone mentions. This place looks awesome, but I do see that kids are allowed which would generally nix it off our list. We've done a few all-inclusive vacations, but always pick the adults-only resorts. Did people really bring their kids, and how was your experience in relation given you were on your honeymoon?

Fan Ejected by Justin Thomas - Right, Wrong or Indifferent
Eric C replied to divot dave's topic in Tour Talk
I disagree. If you start crabbing back at them it only encourages the bad behavior. The 16th hole at the WM is fun and hilarious, but at the same time I've always wondered how long it would take for that seed to grow too far. Now we're starting to see the result. Golf is a gentleman's game, and I have zero problem with the guy getting chucked from the tournament. I also feel it should have been taken care of first by the on-course marshal's. -
7:23. My technique has improved. Maybe if I practiced my swing as much ....

A Question about Bags with Dividers
Eric C replied to xrayvizhen's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I bought a nice Ogio stand bag about 4 years ago, 14 way divider. I'm not a fan of my clubs banging against each other. After about 2 years the nylon sleeves that the clubs go through started tearing, I assume the friction of the clubs going in and out gradually degraded the material. So now the problem is that the material bunches up and tangles at the bottom of the bag, sometimes making it difficult to put the club back in. Also, sometimes when you pull the club out the whole nylon sleeve comes with it. I just haven't gotten around to replacing it, but I'm looking for something more durable. -
I've done this same puzzle probably 50 times now (stress relief at work), and this is the fastest I've been able to manage. Anyway, it's gotta be time for a new puzzle ... @Zeph was the last winner with 3:34. No idea how you can even move all the pieces in that short a period of time.

Duh ... he totally makes the cut! In fact, I'll go so far as to say he finishes top 10.

That was a good watch, @iacas Watched American Made last night. I generally really like a good Tom Cruise movie, but this wasn't one of them. Pretty boring and slow. I'll give it a par.

Orlando Line Up suggestions- 4th Annual trip
Eric C replied to Gipper's topic in Destinations and Travel
I did get out to Dubsdread on Saturday, and gotta say that it remains a personal favorite. I do agree the fairways are generally tight, but they are well maintained, as are the greens, and the course offers a forgivable challenge. I played with two really nice guys from out of town here on a golf trip, and we had a great time. At the restaurant I prefer burgers over bugers, but that's just me ... -
If I could find a way to mute only Nick Faldo, I'd pay good money for it.

Thanks for the review! I've been wanting to play it, and will look to give it a go when the Winter rates are gone.

The wife and I watched Suicide Squad over the weekend. Morgot Robbie was fun (and hot) to watch as Harley Quinn, and Will Smith moderately amusing as Deadshot. Jared Leto was great as The Joker, but his character was so inconsequential and somewhat out of place that I kept wishing he played that role in one of the batman films instead. Generally a really bad movie with a dumb plot line and poorly directed action scenes. It was like walking away knowing you made a good bogey.

Orlando Line Up suggestions- 4th Annual trip
Eric C replied to Gipper's topic in Destinations and Travel
Not the first person that has disagreed with me on this course! I get that it's no Celebration, but I like a good muni and when I moved to Orlando last year it was by far in the best shape compared to others I played. But I was a local rookie then, and I've since learned where to play. It's also a bit of a hike for me now, so I haven't been back in about 6 months, but now I'm thinking I might play it this weekend just to spite you. -
I did last week's puzzle several times and never really seemed to get much better at it. 8:22 for this one. Seemed easier than others.

14:52. I struggled. Great picture!

Orlando Line Up suggestions- 4th Annual trip
Eric C replied to Gipper's topic in Destinations and Travel
I'll second Celebration, it's a great track and in excellent shape. Also, I recently played Panther Lake for the first time and ended up enjoying Crooked Cat more. Interested in your thoughts after you play it. Dubsdread is another fun course, located near downtown Orlando. One of my favorites, always in great shape and has a great restaurant! I also like Stoneybrook West, but neither are "resort style". Probably my favorite resort course here has been Grand Cypress. I've played the "New" course twice now, but it's a links course modeled after the Old Course. They have three others that I hear are also amazing, and the customer service and amenities are top notch. Enjoy your trip, the weather is perfect right now! -
Most painful tourney of the year to watch. I'll catch some action on Sunday when I can avoid the celebs.

I think it depends on what your goals are, and your availability to get to a range to effectively work on it. If you're a playing pro, regularly play local tournaments, or even in a competitive men's league at your local club they you should probably put the effort in to figure it out. If you're out there having fun and just want to play good, consistent golf then by all means give it a rest. Other's here will tell you to get lessons, practice more, and identify and resolve the mechanical or mental piece that is holding you back. That's almost certainly the correct answer. I took all "woods" out of my bag for an entire season and hit nothing but a 4 hybrid off the tee. I've more recently introduced a 3W back in to the mix, and I'm smoking it.

I sent Erik the puzzle picture .... and while maybe I technically cheated, it clearly didn't help me much.
-
10:54 .... you'd think I would do better since I had the picture up on my second monitor, but no.

I never beat my father at golf, and we probably had 50 or so rounds together, but the one and only time that I was leading on the 18th hole I hit a perfect drive right up the middle of the fairway and thought to myself that I would be checking off that bucket list item. Couldn't f'ing find it. My father laughed and laughed as I angrily searched. Took my penalty like a crying baby and lost by one stroke.

I wanted to watch it, I've watched and mostly enjoyed every other Star Trek reboot, but I refuse to take on yet another pay subscription service on top of the already ridiculous cost of cable television. I wanted to scream last week when I learned I couldn't stream the Farmer's without paying for PGALive. Sorry. I'm ranting. Glad you enjoyed it, and I look forward to when it's available on something I already pay for.
-
Anyone know where/if the Farmer's is being streamed, other than PGA Tour Live? I'm not paying for yet another subscription ...
-
I couldn't watch the video - what a rambling, horrible story teller. Babble, babble, babble. And put a f'ing shirt on, dude! Like so many people in this world, he can't take accountability for his actions and looks to blame others.

In another couple of months or so is when they typically begin looking to start hiring summer staff. I absolutely agree with the poster who suggested showing up (during off-peak hours) and ask to speak to the super or head pro. Wear pants and a polo, be polite, introduce yourself, look them in the eye and shake their hand. Tell them you're looking for a summer job and what your golf goals are. If you're able to convey a sense of responsibility and purpose, I guarantee you'll find yourself making some cash and playing a bunch of golf this season. It might take a few tries, but don't lose heart. Ambition is the path to success, persistence is the vehicle you arrive in - Bill Bradley Good luck, and keep us updated on your prospects!
