The Roebling Bridge here in Cincinnati was the unofficial test run for the Brooklyn Bridge; note their similarity. I've been a part of the design team for 2 cable stayed structures. Pomeroy-Mason and Ironton-Russell, both over the Ohio River, and both using a similar design has the Cooper River shown earlier. Long span bridge design is by nature "cutting edge", but bridge owners do not like to be cutting edge for fear of maintenance problems. A perfect example is the East section of the Bay Bridge. The self anchoring design is a first in the US and the designers and contractors are learning as they go and the state is paying the price for the experiment. The artistic, curved structures are more common in Europe and Asia because of looser building codes, construction practices, and willingness to try newer materials like carbon fiber. Not to mention they are a b*tch to design. Ohio is doing a study on carbon fiber prestressing strands vs steel strands, unfortunately the cost for carbon fiber is currently 4X that of steel. State DOT's do not have room in their funding to increase costs by 4, so we tend to stick with what is known to work.

Great seeing everyone this weekend, I had a blast as always. Hope everyone made it home without issue. Thanks @Rob Thompson for hosting and @iacas for organizing. Looking forward to the next one.

I was told the same thing.

The abnormal ground conditions rule is full of OR statements; i.e. ball OR stance OR line of play not necessarily all 3 together. If he was seeking relief for the ball or line of play, why does it matter where he stands. If he was asking for relief for his stance then, I would agree he did not take the proper relief, but as for relief for the lie of the ball, it seems to me he did so fully. Yes, this is along the lines of what I was trying to say.

I have not seen what Jordan showed the RO, but my opinion is he did take full relief. The ball is not touching the water, the water is not on his intended swing path; so we are debating whether his toes over the water "interferes" his stance the same as it did originally. Again, without seeing the initial condition, it appears OK to me.

When does the 10 sec clock start for rule 16-2?

He did. 3 putt par at the par 5 3rd hole...

@iacas @Jeremie Boop Both @mcanadiens (definitely Sunday. Will check on Saturday) @saevel25 Both @vasaribm Both

I'm good for either 2 day combination.

I agree with the umbrella holder, and have a similar feeling with the bottle/drink holder. I can't seem to collapse the cart and have the drink holder stay on, it pops right off every time. Maybe it's me... I will probably default back to the drink holder on my bag, as I don't want to keep track of a plastic cup.

Arrived!

Echoing everyone's comments, thanks to @iacas and @Rob Thompson for putting together another successful weekend. Eagle creek is an awesome facility and it was great seeing everyone. Congrats to @Hardspoon and @macdaddy18 !

Same for me, around 1:30.

Golf balls are a pretty personal choice, obviously with all the choices. If both perform the same, stick with Nike since you prefer its color. Ultimately stick with the ball you have the most confidence in, be it by performance or visual.

Perfect.

I've reserved a room under the group. If anyone would like to share let me know.

Very cool. I grabbed an early bird pledge.

I want Turbulators to help me drive it long with the PING G30 Driver! I predict that the BLUE (East Coast) TEAM will win the 2015 Newport Cup by a score of 28.5 to 25.5 . The MVP will be @DaveP043 with 10 points won.

I usually over analyze so I don't think I could play without some type of thought. My thoughts tend to change with the shot, as well, so I try to keep them to one word thoughts. Driver = SLOW. I'm fighting a quick transition from backswing to downswing, hence the "slow" thought. I also try to mimic a Matsuyama type pause during practice swings, which slows things down a bit as well. Pitching = ACCELERATE. I usually hit better shots and duff it less when I keep the speed up.

Tacos, I prefer a burrito anyway.

Let's be real... the prize is a car, you are pin seeking whether you hit first or last. There is no way you are playing to the safe side of a green so your teammates can have a shot at winning a car while you watch.
