Is anyone using a SkyCaddie under BootCamp (or Parallels) on an Mac? A friend of my boss bought a SkyCaddie without realizing that he couldn't use it on his Mac. So naturally I get asked about how to get it to work heh. I notice both SkyCaddie and GolfLogix promise Mac support in the near future (whereas SureShot actually says on their web page that Mac support is provided by using their Windows software under Parallels) but it seems that the alternative to telling this guy to return the unit is to suggest BootCamp and it'd be nice to hear that someone's using it this way before I recommend it.

I'm sure glad I set my calendar to remind me on Wednesday mornings to edit my ESPN team. I went and checked today and ALL FOUR of my players from last week are not playing this week, lol! But here's something weird, I picked all new players and did it so that I had exactly 50.0 points. I got this message: Your foursome's salary exceeds the limit of 50.0. No statistics will be accumulated until you reduce your salary below that threshold. Please change your foursome. TEAM VALUE50.050.0 -- REMAINING SALARY-0.0 WTF? Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but some calculation is wrong there. I'll go substitute another player in the mean time so I can have my stuff counted. Then I'll go find where to submit a bug report.

Ok, US vs. the World. Keep that around. I hate to think that quality players are exempt from competing in a US vs anybody competition just because of their country of birth. Or am I misunderstanding the qualifications of the Ryder Cup? :) At any rate, I like the whole macho pride tournaments, except when the US isn't winning, of course. They're fun and different from regular tour events. Kinda falls in the same league as the International where they use that modified scoring system. I always try to catch that action when it's on.

Maybe this is true, but Tiger has only *not* played the AT&T; the last two years. From '97-'02 he was there, and even won it in 2000 (what DIDN'T he win in 2000).

I'm with you on the Battle at the Bridges. That was my first real look at Hank Kuehne and even thought he played like crap, IIRC, it was interesting. And I love the events where the players are mic'ed up and they're more relaxed and joking around. Something Erik alluded to in another thread. But I didn't vote, cuz I don't know what the heck the President's Cup is. Maybe I'll go look it up and once I refresh my memory (is it the US vs. World thing?) I'll come back and vote.

I'm bordering on the same thing myself. I thought this morning about calling friends to see if they really really wanna watch it... otherwise, I might just catch up on some other stuff on TV or watch a movie or something. Or even go out to a movie. Might be one of the best times to find a good seat.

So what's that saying about my team, also at -4 at the moment? Heh. Stupid Ernie Els not playing.. Stupid tournament starting on Wednesday. Going to set up some kind of reminder on my calendar to go fix my team every week...

That reminds me to go look at my team (which carried over from last week cuz I forgot to go edit) to see what's happening. I'm glad I don't have Duval... +7 after 10. Ouch.

Great to have you here! I have been meaning to break out my TW ps2 game. I got frustrated with my first round at Kapalua a long time ago and haven't picked it up since. But every time I see Erik say he shot in the 40's, I just know I'm missing something and want to try my hand at it again. Especially since I've had a renewed interest in golf since buying the game (I have the TW2004 edition) so that should help.

Fantastic! Glad everything went ok, too. Congratulations.

I'm going with high definition tv (HDTV). It has totally revolutionized the way I watch both movies and tv shows. I stick my nose up at 4:3 Fullscreen movies/shows now. Heh. If all I got in HD was sports (football, baseball, etc... still waiting for someone to broadcast a PGA event in HDTV), I'd be just as happy. Sometimes I watch the Discovery Channel and PBS just cuz it looks great, not that the material is all that interesting - though I'm surprised sometimes - there was this great show about the Egyptian pyramids a while back that I was totally enthralled with. And hey, I learned stuff!

I have officially been trumped.

Talk about the possibility of getting your fair share of weird stares!

For my personal driving pleasure, I'd probably get a Lexus SC (two door hardtop convertible), but for having other people drive me around, the Maybach . *drool*

First and foremost, I agree. Fuggem. Of course, born and raised and still living in Florida, I could not care less about hockey - the only time I ever intentionally watched hockey was when the Lightning streaked through the playoffs and won the Stanley Cup, but only because I'm a St. Pete boy by birth, so hometown team and all that. Plus, at the time, I had quite a few co-workers from Calgary, so the whole Tampa vs. Calgary thing really had meaning here. But then again, there are other sports that would desperately love to get ESPN (or even ESPN2, for that matter) coverage, even for just one event (largely thinking disc golf here). But I get what you're saying - based on the supposed big-ness of the sport, it being relegated to ESPN only and no network coverage, is troublesome.

I just wish he'd lose those dumbass lookin Oakley M-frames . Otherwise, I wish him the best.

I never knew where that came from - picking a spot 6" or so from the ball and putting to that, not at the hole - but I've been doing it for quite some and have had success with it. Chipping is more my problem.

I'm in the same boat as Aaron. I don't watch it at all, really. It's part of my "extended cable" offering from Cox so it's always been there for me as long as I can remember. The only thing I've ever really tuned into on purpose was Big Break II and big tournament coverage like post-game on the Players or any of the majors. Maybe I'll try to make a point to catch some of these programs people are mentioning, Playing Lessons From The Pros, etc.

Well, I'm cheap and non-handy, so I just use the good ole carpet. I don't put a cup down or anything like that, just aim for one of the bed feet or the corner of the couch or something like that. Going across the linoleum of the kitchen is a little hazardous, but I think I've figured out the break. Of course, having a 1-bedroom apartment doesn't really allow for much more. :)

Damn! I came *this* close to putting Jonathan Kaye on my card. Dang dang dang. Nice shootin jason.

It appears Tiger rubbed off on her a bit. Her putting stank, from what I understand. Just watched a bit of her press room time and she said she was hitting the ball great, solid shots, etc., but couldn't drain the putts.

I really like the OZ, though I don't have the T100 like they have on the review there. I have the original OZ. It looks slightly different. But I think what I like best about it is the feel from the insert. A buddy had a Ping that had an insert and I really liked the feel of it, so wanted to get something similar. Putting is probably the least of my troubles on the course, so I'd say that's a compliment for the OZ. :)

I found my current coach by accident, really. I was taking a 6-week course at the local muni with about 20 people in the group. One week, I couldn't make it to the regularly scheduled class, so the guy teaching the class told me I could come one day later, but it was another guy teaching that class. Went to the other class and never looked back. This guy is awesome, at least for my level of play.

Well, here's my recount of my trip to the Chrysler Championship just a few months ago. That might help a bit.
