  1. They’ve got the course redesign architect on Live From and he’s doing a hole by hole review of his design decisions. REALLY cool discussion if you’re into that stuff. He just finished the front 9 so you can still catch the back live but I’m sure they’ll replay this. Gil Hanse is his name

  2. Thought I’d take a shot at the precut ribs at Costco.  Only cooked 2 of the 5 (wtf?) and they still took 6.5 hours at 215-240*

    Came out great

  3. Also didn't realize till today that TCH is $13/hr in Austin. Price of poker is going up it seems.


    The inelasticity of BBs relative to inflation and rake has always been interesting to me. Players want to play $2, $5 and $10 BBs but those games are now effectively worth much less to players than they were 10 years ago
  4. Hard to say I guess? Can't imagine they are struggling too badly.
    They did, hilariously and predictably, walk the $5 checkin back already. Told my wife the second I read it that there would be a meltdown and they would walk it back. So they just negatively impacted their perception and goodwill for no gain. What did they think was going to happen, people were going to say "oh cool, I get to stand in a different line and pay $5 every time I come in, sounds good"? How does that either not get filtered out by someone with a brain, or if they actually have to charge it to be viable, they just plow through the backlash. 

    Good lord, that just screams incompetence

  5. Their app exclusive deals have turned to shit, but if you go into the McValue Menu section and scroll down to meals, there’s a $5 McDouble Meal Deal that’s a steal.

  6. The old Wynn room was perfect in that regard, imo. Comfortably away from the casino floor, but obvious to passers-by and in between the clubs and the parking garage for funneling in fish
