He needs to hire a driver.  This is third high profile car incident for him.  I’d hate it too but when you make that much money you need to hire someone.  

Dibs on that job!

he doesn’t tip.

Counterpoint: he gives waitresses more than the tip.

Played my best round of 2021 yesterday. Shot an 80. Hopefully can build on that today.

That is one hell of a round. Congrats!

I am finally seeing some 50's and 60's in the forecast. Hoping to get out once or twice next week. Been over two months

I've got a round set for noon tomorrow in Williamsburg,  which has excellent courses.  51 degrees and no rain for the past week.  Chilly but playable.

Definitely playable. I'm usually a 45 degree and over guy myself, depending on the wind. So for me to have gone over two months, that gives you an idea of how horrible a winter we've had in the Delaware Valley. Brutal. 


I did sneak out to the range the other day and hit some balls finally. It did not go as poorly as I envisioned...so that's a plus.

Yep, it's all about the wind.  It's supposed to be sunny so as long as the wind is calm, it will be perfectly fine for me. I'd rather it be 40 and sunny than 90 and sunny.

Day one ends with the death of a $9k golf cart...

it could have been worse. the parking brakes on john deere gators aren’t worth a fuck. my boss did this; not me.

we used to have fake rocks as tee markers. they were OK but some were getting pretty beat (drunken cart driving, I suspect). then, two years ago, the pro decided the front nine would become the back nine and vice versa. everyone thought it was a dumb idea, but we replaced all the fake rocks with heavy brass signs, to the tune of $22,000. we now have a new pro and are changing back to the old layout. So we got new signs again. I don’t like them. we should have just ground down the numbers on the brass signs and added new (old) numbers. I especially don’t like the font on the new signs.

Last played in early December.  Can't imagine I'll be playing around here any sooner than the end of this month.  All the snow is just about melted but since we had about 2-3 feet everything is completely soaked....will take awhile for courses to be in even semi-playable conditions.  But I do have a nice long weekend in west palm beach coming up where we'll be playing at least 72 holes....can't wait!

The greens at my course open in two days.  Won’t have time to play but nice to know they will be there if I do.

Yeah, the middle sign is definitely the nicest. The new ones almost look like somebody took a cutout and spray-painted on the metal.
Was he trying to go with a rustic 'Old Mill' theme?

“my” course is very wet, as well. supposed to hit 70 tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure it won’t open.

Golf is amazing. Bryson and Westwood have the same 3rd shot on 6

Jordan is all over the place.  Scrambles like a champ.

Bryson is the worst but what he did on that 6th hole the past 2 days is just awesome.

The worst, but yeah, felt the same way

He won hearts and minds this weekend.  Still not sure why he is disliked.  He is peculiar, but seems good natured.

Fuck Bryson

He is not just a bomber.   He won’t win every week even with the power.  Keep the fairways narrow and rough higher at the 290 mark.  Add bunkers and trees.
