  1. I wonder how much seeing each other fuck up causes them to fuck up?  It's certainly not an outing I would imagine each is looking forward to.


    Tiger is two groups ahead of Phil today. So neither would be paying much attention at all to what the other is doing.
  2. Tee times are up on the Masters website. First off at 10AM local, last at 2:30PM

     

    Tiger with Poulter.

     

    The afternoon groups are loaded with star power.

     

    Now we have to see how the weather goes . . .

     

  3. Reed started his college golf career at the University of Georgia in 2008–09. After issues that resulted in his expulsion he enrolled at Augusta State University, where he majored in business. He helped lead Augusta State to NCAA Division I Golf Championship in 2010 and 2011.

  4. Tiger with a bad start. Perfect drive and then no bueno for a bogie.

    Phil tries a big flop shot from off the green on 11 and fails to make the green.

    The featured groups on the Masters app now has Tiger and Phil, at least.

  5. ESPN “sports center” is already showing some of the golf and with a timer countdown for Spieth tee time coming up. So likely they will show as much of him as they did of Tiger yesterday.

  6. Post Oak Poker in Houston is bringing in $350K/mo. Has gotten Fertitta’s attention.

    Thanks for posting this article. Feels like at some point the heat will be on the officials in Austin to declare these poker rooms to be illegal. (Follow the money). Meanwhile, they could easily go the other direction (but won’t) and pass legislation and we could have jobs jobs jobs and tax revenue.

    Meanwhile in DFW, are there any of these fee based poker rooms operating? 9 in Houston and lots in SA.

    Most interesting part of that article:

    The lawyer and lobbyist for Landry's owner Tilman Fertitta, who also owns the Golden Nugget casinos, has already made up his mind.

    In a legal brief to Attorney General Paxton, that lawyer tells the AG plainly, "poker rooms violate Texas law and are illegal."

    It is one of several briefs filed as the poker rooms continue to open across our state.
  7. Just now, AUS-97HORN said:

    put a whoping $5 down on Spieth to win at 11-1.

     

    yeah, Im a gambling balla

    I don’t care how much you wager it’s just fun when you have a shot to win on Sunday afternoon. Last year I only had Sergio at 35/1 and it was all kinds of fun. Especially collecting the winnings. 

  8. Mesero drama (D Magazine):

    Rumors have swirled since last year that restaurateur Michael “Mico” Rodriguez, of Mesero Restaurant Group, had “been tossed out by his partners.” Those rumors turned out to be untrue. Until now.

    Trey Dyer, President and CEO of Mesero Restaurant Group, announced Rodriguez’s departure on Wednesday in a press release. He cites “multiple extended absences” as reason for Rodriguez’s removal as CEO early last year. He was moved to a position within the company that allowed him to “focus entirely on the creative side of our business. Unfortunately, he was not successful in that transition.” Rodriguez had most recently battled cancer. He told Nancy Nichols last year that it was in remission, but that his energy remained low and complained of hot flashes.

    We’re attempting to contact Rodriguez for comment. But should you be new to Dallas or otherwise wondering why Rodriquez’s departure from the restaurant group he founded is newsworthy, consider that the man behind Mi Cocina is our own, controversial but self-made, king of Tex Mex, whose reach began more than 25 years ago with a 12-seat restaurant and grew to an empire. Rodriquez was behind the move toward the presentation of upscale Tex Mex for an audience ready to spring for a refined take on prettily plated enchiladas accompanied by trendy cocktails. This was, as it turns out, a winning business model. Ultimately, it’s one that will have left him behind.

    Here is Dyer’s full statement. We’ll update this post if we hear from Rodriguez.

    It is with great disappointment that we announce the departure of Michael “Mico” Rodriguez as an employee of Mesero Restaurant Group. We are proud of the work we’ve been able to accomplish with Mico since the opening of Mr. Mesero in 2011 and the subsequent opening of five Mesero restaurants in North Texas.

    In early 2017, after multiple extended absences, it was decided with Mico that he would no longer serve as CEO of Mesero Restaurant Group. With the demands of a fast-growing restaurant establishment in multiple communities all over the DFW area he was to focus entirely on the creative side of our business. Unfortunately, he was not successful in that transition. More recently, Mico requested that the Mesero ownership release him from his partnership obligations with the organization and buy him out. Throughout this process, we have taken great pains to work with Mico in hopes of finding a solution that would allow us to end our partnership on friendly terms.

    Unfortunately, after several months of discussions, we have not been able to reach an agreement to conclude our business together and furthermore, we have learned that Mico has violated our trust and the terms of our agreement on multiple occasions. As a result of Mico’s actions, we regrettably have determined it is necessary to pursue legal action.
