  1. I'm sure things are chaotic there, but is there anybody local or who otherwise has access to cash that you could VENMO some money so they can give you some cash? Dude, good luck. We stayed at the Honua Kai 5 or 6 years ago. Glad y'all are safe!!
  2. How would I get on this waitlist? I've heard of people doing it for the Bronco, Corvette, etc. but I'm not sure what the process is. Seems like a no-brainer for the new 4Runner.
  3. I heard that Coyote Moon is one of the best courses in that area.
  4. I'm out. Looking for something on the sidelines. Thanks.
  5. Loved Edgewood, we were there a week or so after the tournament. It was, surprisingly, a bit congested (waited on most holes, a couple of groups on some of the par 3s) Yes, The Ritz is at Northstar. We stayed in a VRBO at Shaffer's Mill, just north of Martis Camp. The Shaffer's Mill course was having a member/guest the day we had open so we were shut out. That whole area is beautiful. We'll definitely go back at some point.
  6. Thanks, I think I may pull the trigger on those to at least update the clubs while getting my swing in order. I'll be checking in on this thread more regularly moving forward. We played at Edgewood in Tahoe last week. My best shot of the round was on the par 3 along the lake. Put it within 4 feet and sank the birdie put. Here is a photo of the sunset just before my tee shot and one of the little guy hitting one down the middle at Northstar later in the week.
  7. Thanks. Probably dumb question, but is something like this a waste of money? https://www.costco.com/.product.1477082.html Callaway Edge 10-piece Golf Club Set, Right Handed - Regular Flex Item 1477082 Model 4PKL211400272C 4.7 out of 5 stars.

  8. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts. I am in NTX, I'll check out Dallas Golf. From a quick glance they show shafts described as 'Stiff', 'Flex', 'Senior' (I'm 52) and of course 'Stiff Flex'. Steel or Graphite also. WTF. For a golfer like me, what would be best? Please advise me on my shaft. 😄
  9. Question for the group. I am a terrible, infrequent and inconsistent golfer. Have probably played 20-25 rounds of golf in total over the course of the last 30 years. My youngest (10 year old) has been taking lessons / playing in some junior tournaments, etc. over the last couple of years. As a result, I have started swinging the sticks a bit more frequently. My clubs are a mish-mash of some old Wilson cavity back irons with some Callaway Irons mixed in. A Big Bertha driver that's probably 15 years old and a could fairway woods that came with the Wilson iron set from 30 year ago. My question is related to getting new clubs. Should I spend some money on new clubs or work on getting my swing more consistent and then go for some sort of club fitting? I'm afraid if I got new clubs now that they might not be as "right" for me if my swing gets corrected and is significantly different than my swing when I buy the clubs. I'm not looking to forego retirement for clubs but don't mind putting some money into it if it will really make a difference. Thoughts?
  10. From TX allotment or something else?
  11. Saying again I don't really know how this works, but if this is to be taken at face value the TC & Jake "It's just banter" has 892 monthly subscribers and generates $4k/month. https://www.patreon.com/itsjustbanter I would think Hang Zone could get to 20k subscribers given some time but no idea how "sticky" those subscribers would be. I don't even know that I would need a 5 days a week kind of thing to feel like I'm getting value. Honestly, if they dropped a couple of 1-2 hour podcasts a week I think I could justify $5/month. I could then listen when I want. If it was something I was enjoying, I'd likely stick with it. How many things do I waste $5 a month on that don't give me 5-10 hours of entertainment a month? I will say they should get this going ASAFP, memories are short and people will get distracted and be less likely to subscribe / "support" them in 3 - 6 months. Motivating someone to click that "pay" button is the big hurdle and the leap of faith they have just taken.
  12. In the video Dan seemed very at peace while Jake was full of heavy sighs, etc. I hope things work out for them. I don't know the economics of podcasting or Patreon but it seems like there's a path there. 20k subscribers @$5/month probably puts them around $400-$500k each after production costs. Now how likely they are to hit those numbers, I have no idea. Maybe Dan will do a rollplay OnlyFans. ha ha
  13. Will be interested to hear the more complete story. If there are really guards 20 yards away from the border during tours this soldier is a dumbass or there is something more to this incident.
  14. Turkish Air and new Istanbul airport are fine. Agreed, you probably don't want the wife and kids roaming the city alone but the secured area of the airport should be no problem.
  15. We were there in March of this year for the first time in probably 40 years. It certainly has its charms. If you go, you damn well better have a hat similar to this or buy one as soon as you get there. I swear to God 80% of the adult males I saw walking through neighborhoods, etc. were wearing one. Leather coat with fringe and bolo tie are optional. Ski Santa Fe would be great for day trips. Golf (if that is appealing) probably mid-April through October or early November. Lots of festivals, etc. but several are cowboy/southwestern adjacent. They have an Allsups if you need your burrito fix.
