  1. That was a bit of young idealistic brown water speaking. Way back I thought if that doesn't make sense - fix it. Now it's that doesn't make sense but is it workable - that's fine. Or if it isn't workable - screw it
  2. Not complaining. I've been the beneficiary of that system. I just doesn't make sense to me. If I was a (1) profit motivated company (2) in the golden age of my product and (3) aware that not only was I allocating it to the wrong markets but that (4) a secondary market existed to get it back to my primary one, and (5) at a premium, I would probably shift things around and save a few bucks on shipping in the process.
  3. That's really cool. But I've never understood the logic of their Europe only releases given today's domestic demand. Read somewhere that STFB (select barrels) would merit a place in the Antique collection as the mashbill 2 version of GTS.
  4. Sorry. I was meaning more in principle than this example. That wasn't clear from my post and I understand the optics and attention on this particular matter are very different than normal circumstances. I meant this more in the Mrs. Brown Water asks how many bourbons I had last night and I say none but that it isn't an issue if I did. Come to think of it, in my personal experience, that is in fact a losing argument. I retract my original question.
  5. The real irony is the Catholic's pace to punish abuse by children rather than abuse of children. I understand these may not be considered children and the church isnt a monolithic entity but the history makes for odd optics
  6. I'm no fan of trump or guiliani but I don't follow the concern about these arguments. Why wouldn't someone present both positions - that an event didn't occur and that such event, had it occurred, wouldn't constitute a crime.
  7. I distinguish having a degree and being educated. Aggy doesn't cross the higher threshold.
  8. Setting race aside, isn't the education point reinforced by the composition of trump's base?
  9. Take it easy on him. Barron scratched his typing hand.
  10. Thought we’d won the war on Christmas
  11. They mean searching for a doctor willing to have their professional opinion usurped by a report already written by the patient.
  12. So the weather outside is delightful but the guy inside is frightful and since the government's closed let it snow let it snow let it snow
  13. Milwaukee is Algonquin for "the good land."
  14. She talks to trump and his staff almost daily
  15. Assume he's saying employees of private / publicly-traded companies are adversely impacted by short term pressures applied to meet investor expectations. Don't agree with his point but I think that's what he's trying to say.
  16. I think the reshaft will make a huge improvement. The originals (project x 6.5s I think) were too stiff at the grip. I couldn't feel the club head or the shaft flex. We switched to DG x100 and on the test fit club it made all the difference. I'm not sure what the technical requirements would distinguish whether they're appropriate or not, but for me the aesthetic is high on my list and these look great. I hit enough good shots even with the wrong shaft to feel pretty confident they will work out. I will check back in once their back from the factory. Sadly that likely won't be before I head to Costa Rica for a long weekend with plans for a few rounds.
  17. I couldn't handle CW - not that I ever expect to have to make that choice. But it's just too uptight. I don't need to be coddled and I couldn't go 100 yards without someone trying to give me a ride or offering assistance. I'm sure that's what the membership expects and everyone's just doing their job. Pro shop looked at me like I was crazy when I declined a shuttle over to the driving range which is maybe a 5 minute walk.
  18. Moving over from the 2018 thread. PXG Gen1 are now $155 per club. I wasn't happy with mine after a few rounds and they set me up with their master fitter at Carlton Woods. He recommended a different shaft and PXG is reshafting for $25 per club plus covering shipping both ways. They probably would've done more but I didn't feel the need to press the issue. Bit frustrating to be in for $175 + $25 + some extra hassle for what would be $155 is I started the process today - but what's a couple hundred bucks spread over the years of use... If anyone is considering this, I'd recommend getting fit in advance. Their site isn't clear but I think you can go to the fitter for specs and still get the online price.
  19. Wish that was true. But one side is a monolithic minority but the majority is fractured not on facts (necessarily) but on the path forward. Non-believers may well be the plurality even if not the majority.
  20. Did he switch venues from the border to the Oval Office? Because trump's tendency to avoid danger zones may be the best evidence of an actual border crisis I've seen so far.
