Tomorrow, I'm going to post the yearly awards for our three main awards: Member of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Kickstarter of the Year. Winners of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze level will be chosen. If you'd like to increase your odds* of winning and you're not already a Supporter of the site, there's still time to become a Supporter. * If there's an exact tie, and one member is a Supporter and the other is not, I'll choose the Supporter to win the award. 2014: 2015:

Let's hear it!? What's on your Christmas (golf) wish list this year? If you don't celebrate Christmas, sub out that word with "holiday" or whatever else that makes sense, even if that word is "December" or "end of the year"? -
Up to now, all of the talk has been about who's not playing in the Olympics. But we're getting close to the actual event so now I think it's time to talk about who is playing, what we think of the new course, predictions, etc. The Men's field: http://www.igfgolf.org/olympic-games/qualification-system/ogr-men/ The Women's field: http://www.igfgolf.org/olympic-games/qualification-system/ogr-women/ The Course: http://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-olympic-course-experience -
Lest we forget sandwiched between the Olympics and a PGA Tour event is the US Amateur, in which a 23 man playoff for 8 spots (3 birdied in, then 4 birdied, then 1 pared) ensued in The Great Lakes State. http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/us-amateur-reaches-match-play-after-epic-23-man-playoff http://www.wxyz.com/sports/us-amateur-leader-on-oakland-hills-its-called-the-monster-for-a-reason http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/us-amateur-range-no-shots-longer-240-yards/ http://www.usga.org/championships/2016/u-s--amateur/scoring.html

The Open Championship feels like it ended yesterday. Next week, the PGA Championship, major number 4 will be played because, the Olympics. Since it's so soon, CBS's, or is it Nantz's catchphrase, glory's last shot doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? Does this favor Stenson and Mickelson or are they too tired? Will we hear from the big three? Will another non major winner emerge? Will Nantz make us eye-roll ourselves to death as he opines saccharine about who knows what and name drops his best buds? Is the season basically over... in July? All I know is, this is the major with the most commercials, get that DVR warmed up. Here's the field Here's the course TV: CBS not fearful, but rather relishes quick turnaround between British Open and PGA Championship -
I've got the old NBC theme going in my head, but alas, it's Fox, with its updated announcing lineup in its sophomore year. The US Open is my favorite major of the year, and it's at the venerable Oakmont CC. an added bonus, with its church pews bunkers in the great state of Pennsylvania.

At least early on, I realize that most of the discussion here will be about Donald Trump. That's fine, but at least now people can no longer hide behind "it's off topic to discuss the candidate I support." Ideally the conversation in this thread will be a bit more well-rounded, and not just 99% anti-Trump stuff. I don't follow politics at all, so I'll go back to staying out of things for the most part, but I'm pretty sure Clinton, Cruz, and Sanders have "negative" things about them, too.

So, Jordan Spieth is skipping it, and the field isn't the strongest two weeks after the most recent major… so who wins? PGA Tour pros have a pretty compressed summer of majors, what with the Olympics crowding things.

For the discussion of the 2016 Masters, to be played April 7-10 at some muni course named Augusta National GC. Who will win? Who will be the surprise story? Will Jordan Spieth get out of his funk?

The line of scrimmage for extra-point tries will stay at the 15-yard line. Offensive and defensive play callers can communicate directly with players, whether or not they’re upstairs in the coaches’ booth. All chop blocks are illegal. A player who is penalized twice in one game for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls can be ejected. One year only. The horse collar rule was expanded to include when a defender grabs the jersey at the name plate or above and pulls a runner toward the ground. The spot after a touchback is now the 25-yard line. One year only. There will now be a foul called for delay of game when a team attempts to call a timeout when it is not permitted to do so. No more 5-yard penalty for an eligible receiver illegally touching a forward pass after being out of bounds and re-establishing himself inbounds. Makes it a loss of down. No more multiple spots of enforcement for a double foul after a change of possession. I bolded what I thought were the bigger ones. The NFL is basically trying to eliminate running the ball back, and may be on the path toward eliminating kickoffs altogether.

So, a surprise gift arrived from Adidas the other day… I assumed when I opened them up, I'd find either shorts or some weird pants that had stretchy material or slits or something around the knee. This pretty much confirmed, naturally, that I would find some shorts inside. And I did: The grey ones are super slick and nice. The pink ones are the same, but not at all my style. The belt and socks just complete the package (the belt is nice, but the clamp will indent the rubber part pretty quickly). I've always liked Adidas clothes. We wear their clothes almost exclusively, as the fit and feel has always felt great. I don't wear shorts often (I prefer to keep my legs in the shade beneath pants), but when I do, these have jumped to the top of my list. Well, two of the pair above, anyway.

Here's another bracket you can fill in in March. The big three are in the field although it's match play. Watson, DJ, Mickelson and Fowler too. http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/content/worldgolfchampionships/dell-match-play.html

TST will be at the 2016 PGA Merchandise Show, and this is the thread for all of the coverage. I'll be doing mostly things with LSW, 5SK, and KickX… but occasionally I'll meet up with @WUTiger and @SavvySwede who will be bringing all of the action your way. If there's something you'd like them to check out, post it here. For all of their coverage, follow this topic! It's going to be a blast!
