  1. After my second trip to Bandon, I think I can officially confirm my rankings of the property. 1. Pacific Dunes. Probably the hardest. Great variation of holes. So enjoyable. 2. Bandon Dunes. Some amazing holes like 4-6, 12, 14-16. Some filler holes, but a great walk. 3. Old Mac. Hated it the first time. So vast and the greens are infuriatingly bad and undulating. Went into it with a better attitude and it’s fun and you get to hit a lot of really cool shots. 4. Trails. So different than any of the other courses. Love the tree lined fairways. Bitch to walk though. 5. Sheep Ranch. Greens are awful right now. Fun layout that is an easy walk. Probably would have a better opinion if it the greens were better. Shortys and Preserve are both awesome. Shortys in particular can be diabolical with some of the green complexes. We had an OUTSTANDING meal at the steakhouse at Old Mac. Went into town to the Arcade bar and hung with the caddies. That was fun. Walked a smooth 54.2 miles in the 4 days there. I’m a tired SOB. Can’t wait to go back
  2. Anyone ever eaten off resort in Bandon? If so, any suggestions? We booked dinner reservations late and have one free night where we may go into town
  3. Leave for Bandon Saturday with my old college teammates. Playing Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Old Mac, Sheep Ranch, Bandon Preserve, and Shortys. Played Trails last time and will miss it. Sheep Ranch opened the day after we left last time, so I’m excited to see it. 65 and light winds will feel amazing.
  4. Dogs are so much better than people. We don’t deserve them. Branch is a 7 year old chihuahua mix. Loves his dad. Herds me every morning when I get up to brush my teeth to go him and his sister their morning treat. Emmy is a Jack Russell/Morkie mix that’s 14. Sweetest thing ever. Starting to lose her hearing. Wish she’d live forever.

    Burgers

    Like his schtick or politics or not, but Jesse Kelly’s burger recipe is pretty damn good. 80/20 a bunch of chipotle Tabasco garlic powded all purpose seasoning (i use Tony’s) American cheese the Tabasco in the meat is cooked out for the most part, so it’s not spicy. Just a good smoky note.
  6. That place is like walking into 1958.
  7. When we lost our daughter to stillbirth at 8 months about 6 years ago, the radio served up “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Claxton. There were also a bunch of tears in my VW Atlas.
  8. I’m gonna die laughing when the other video shows the cop ripping his pants while running Scottie down
  9. As a person that lost a child to stillbirth at 8 months and tried for 5 years to get pregnant and only just now got pregnant through the miracle of IVF, Mr. Butker can eat a bag o’ dick. To talk about the most noble thing a woman can do is be a mother and then expressly call out the only way a decent percent of the population can achieve pregnancy is quite a belief. Further, his mom is a Research Physicist at Emory University in the Oncology department. I wonder how she feels about the speech.
  10. I’ve already mentioned my grandfather being on Omaha Beach; however, I was reminded of the following story from my mother. My grandfather brought back a large nazi flag he cut down from a schoolhouse, 3 cool German soldier knives, and a couple of guns back. Apparently, when I was in the 4th grade I brought the flag and knives to show and tell. Mother OCUGolf was not a happy camper when she got the call from the principal. Can’t imagine the trouble I would have gotten in todays climate. RIP Papa. You were the strongest, most brave, kind, and wise man I’ve ever met.
  11. Well IVF worked! Since our previous disaster and our age, we will be considered high risk. Lots of blood work and ultrasounds coming up. Stress level has risen considerably. Google is the worst invention of all time. Way too much information at the tip of my fingers. Lol. Due date is going to be right around the day we lost our first daughter. We are excited and cautiously optimistic. All the positive vibes would be appreciated. Thanks for all the support and kind words over the years!
  12. Quintero is great.
  13. The hamburger/Salisbury steaks from the previous page got me inspired. Salisbury steaks over a garlic cream risotto and roasted broccoli
  14. Wyatt Flores had a breakdown on stage last night and is getting some help. Kid is immensely talented. Only 22 years old. Hope he can get right and come back better than ever. “Please Don’t Go” is a jam. Does a hell of a cover of “How to Save a Life”.
  15. Give plating a 0, but these Cajun smothered pork chops over crispy smashed potatoes with some squash was fucking delish.
  16. Of our 8, 1 graded as an A, 5 B’s, and 2 C’s. Fresh implant of the A and the best B on Wednesday. Freezing the other B’s. Doctor was pretty excited with the results since we are older. Fingers crossed!
  17. Had 4 eggs the first time and none were of quality to fertilize. This time we had 11 and 8 were able to be fertilized. Learn tomorrow the quality. Fingers crossed that we have a couple good enough to implant.
  18. Second chance at IVF egg retrieval tomorrow. All the positive vibes needed. First round a couple months ago was a disaster. This time we have many more quality follicles. So fingers crossed. When we lost our baby at 8 months, I didn’t know if we’d ever get a good chance again. I’ve got a frozen sample on hand, but god i hope the pressure doesn’t get me tomorrow. My wife really needs a baby and this is the best shot we’ve got.
  19. Looks about 15.
  20. Blaine Milam here in Texas. The only time i couldn’t finish the facts of a case. What he and his girlfriend did to their two year old is the worst I’ve seen or heard. They can both die imo.
  21. Saw Charles Wesley Gordon, Isbell, and Turnpike last night. Was unbelievable. CWG is insanely good and has such a bright future. Isbell was awesome. Had a new guitar player, while his other is on paternity leave, that absolutely shredded. Turnpike was better than when i saw them in Little Rock last year. Two years Sober Evan was on point. Voice sounded great and they were happy to be home. I wish i had tickets to his solo shows in Tulsa next week.
  22. I don’t think the Thunder will win it all, but NOBODY wants them in a 7 game series. They are way outplaying their age
  23. OU beating Iowa State by 8 wasn’t on my radar. I know they have only lost once, but the loss was against the only team with a pulse they played in non conference outside of a decent Arkansas team. Winning road games in this league is gonna be a chore this year.
  24. Riley to the Raiders seems possible. However, I think they should give the interim guy a chance. Commanders need to hire their OC. I agree with Harbaugh to the Chargers.
  25. Random question: do you use the same opening word? i tend to use a word with a and e for my two vowels and a combination of s,t,r,n,d, and l. Works pretty well. I’m sure there’s a mathematical reason to use one word every time, but I like sticking within my guidelines above
