  1. Is there a radio station feed for this game? 104.9 doesn't have it, at least not through their iPhone app or the website. Texassports.com radio player doesn't have it - just says "next broadcast is softball at 6pm." ESPN app has the video feed, but the audio cuts off when the phone goes to sleep. I'm just trying to mow my yard and listen to the game. This is insanely frustrating.

    I hate stupid and ignorant people. My wife came home from work the other day and said that a coworker (an older Chinese woman) was looking under her car in the parking lot. They apparently saw a deadly snake slither underneath. Well the snake crawled up into the undercarriage and went home with the lady. Her husband killed it. A rat snake.

    The climbers-and-hiders almost always are.

    That reporter's response was basically "nuh uh!" I'm really starting to like this woman.

    This one possible edge interpretation of one section of the bill could, under certain circumstances, be used to provide additional voting hours, assuming everyone in that R-controlled county/district choose to explicitly act against the default settings in the bill which of course will never happen but it COULD. See? It's a good bill, why are you guys such assholes?

    Fuck these people.

    And always remember when some urchin want to bet you $20 that he can tell you where you got your shoes at... "On your feet in New Orleans!" is always the answer.  

    Ya got 'em on ya' feet, and ya got 'em on Bourbon Street! (I freely admit to being taken by this one when I was young, and paying the man his $10).

    yeah, it is what it is but you wonder if he can ever be truly consistent in high leverage situations.

    Ya'll are some short-memory-having motherfuckers. Scottie was the most dominant player on the course all day Saturday and Sunday morning - I think he was -15 without a bogey over his two rounds on Saturday. Demolished Poulter, took down Rahm, and beat Kuchar in a "high leverage" moment by burying a birdie putt on 17. He and Horschel both SUCKED Sunday afternoon, and it was clearly fatigue. Sucks that our boy lost, and he probably struck the ball better than BillyHo did but putted worse. Let's not over rotate here and let 4-5 bad putts cloud a phenomenal weekend of golf. He's won at every level he's ever played at, at this weekend proved he can beat the big boys.

    Played Wolfdancer yesterday.  Won't be back any time soon.  Which is a shame.  That course always kicks my ass, but I still love the layout.

    Range balls were old / slick.  The whole course just looked disheveled. Greens were average at best.  Bumpy, uneven and full of weeds in spots.  We teed off at 10:10 and got stuck behind two sloooooow groups.  Ended up playing a 5-1/2 hour round.  Bev cart girl disappeared on the back 9.  Never saw a Marshal once.  Bar / Restaurant was closed.  So, we couldn't even sit at the 19th hole and settle up bets.  We had to do that on the tailgate in the parking lot.  Oh, and green fees were $175.  To add insult to it all, it was $12 to park that you have to pay before you can leave the property.  From a pure value standpoint, it may have been one of the worst golf experiences of my life.  For $175, it better be an "experience".  It was far, far from that.  

    Holy shit, this is horrible.  I used to love getting a last-minute (or government rate, my wife is civil services) rate out there, staying a quick overnight and playing 1 or 2 rounds at Wolfdancer.

    speaking of injuries...

     

    I find things like this weird. Why is Faxon even commenting? "Brooks is a hell of a player, and I know he wants to be out here. I know he's seen the doctor, I saw the same instagram post you guys did. Here's hoping he's back as soon as possible, but that he takes the time to get fully healed."

  8. +1 to bedside manner being important. I'm a talker when I get a lesson; I have to be able to "play back" what I'm being told in my own words, things that make sense to me, and have the instructor understand that and course correct me where I translate something wrong. I also describe how things feel, and I have to rely on the instructor to translate to teachable functional movements. I've put two guys onto my guy here in Austin, and both love him. He's VERY technical, but also incredibly patient lol.

  9. Welcome us to the fold. We've rented RVs in the past, used my in-laws Bigfoot several times, but just this last week took the plunge ourselves. Found a basically-new Jayco 25bh - perfect layout for our family of four (kids are 10 and 6). Towable with my F150 (3.5L v6 EB with Maxtow), AMAZING condition, and something we've been eyeing for a while. Going to also get it into one of those AirBnB-for-RV programs, to try and make some money back on it. We know the local franchise owners for one of them, and we trust their caretaking (and the insurance is good). Shakedown cruise is to Jellystone Park In Kerrville weekend of April 9th. Can't wait!

    They had a weird deal at Spanish yesterday where they put the cup in the hardest possible spot on the green. It was like putt putt and I seven putted one hole.  Best score of the day was an 85 which is actually pretty impressive considering where the cups were.  

    Christ I can't imagine that track tricked up like that.

    Hate to hear Crystal Falls has reverted to old form. They fixed it around 2010 and it was solid until I left in 2017.

    Bob, you’re almost certainly referring to 11. They cleared the underbrush on both sides and changed the way they mowed it to fix that and it turned into a great hole, especially after they rebuilt the green following one of the floods.

    My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I’m pretty sure Cap thinks #9 is the best hole in Central Texas.

    Do you mean 12? 11 is the par 3. WAY back in the day, 9, 10, 12 and 18 were both "drop a ball in the middle of the fairway, and it'll roll into the rough and possibly even the hazard" territory. 12 runs HARD right, but as long as there's even a little bit of grass in the rough right, it'll keep your ball out of the hazard now.

    As of summer 2020, CF was eminently playable. It would be a bummer if they've let the greens go back to being trampolines with no grass. They had a fairly large management turnover two summers ago (head pro, several staffers), but I think the super is still the same guy (and he's awesome). 

    #9 can suck a cock, btw. @Lurch is very aware of my opinion on the matter.
