  1. Agree! The UNM course is fun and inexpensive also.
  2. OK, this is fair and fine. With current drivers, most players actually aren't that much more accurate (if any) with the 3 wood. Large forgiving head can be really helpful, esp if it's fit with the right shaft etc.
  3. I got Sub70 wedges and really love them. Bought during one of their sales for about $80 apiece, find them as good for me as a $170 Vokey.
  4. Also if someone you’re paired with starts to give unwanted advice, just say something like “thanks! I’m working with a coach and he said I can’t take swing tips or watch golf YouTube because it muddles what we are working on” Also rec Dan Grieve short game videos on YouTube.
  5. Plan seems generally sound. One thing is that the Penick course does have three par 4 holes, it isn’t a pure par 3. A couple of them have decent forced carries also. Define “good contact 80% of the time” because there are long-term golfers who don’t have that haha. I’d say a rangefinder is pretty superfluous at this point. I just got a $50 one for certain times but there are free GPS apps that will def be just fine until you are really really dialed. I only use my rangefinder when my GPS isn’t working or there are huge greens with no map or cart GPS or other code to say if flag is front/middle/back, or to shoot targets when I’m at a range. You should basically always be going for the center of the green or the fattest part away from trouble (so if water is left, aiming right edge etc). Some people may be irritated by a beginner but those people are largely assholes. You clearly are going to be more prepared than some beginners who are whiffing every third swing or whatever. I’d say be prepared to pick your ball up if you’re having a disaster hole and you’re paired up esp if there is room in front of you. Taking 2 minutes to line up a putt for 12 will do it haha. I’m def down to go play [emoji106][emoji106].
  6. Great TR Francisco. Can also vouch for the Luger burger lunch.
  7. $5 convenience fee
  8. I love walking Mo Willie but I am a proud member of the Push Cart Mafia
  9. I loved Grandy’s as a kid. Rolls slapped. Got less exciting when I saw the granny rolling around and picking rolls off tables where people left and putting them back in the basket. Hey maybe they fell on the floor or got sneezed on but maybe they didn’t.
  10. Who is this?
  11. Also that corner where people are hitting into the 6th green, and coming back down from 7 tee is a natural clog.
  12. Friend of mine who was a former LPGA player and college All-American just did a golf marathon for a fundraiser. Played 268 holes. 84 birdies, 2 eagles. 38,500 steps despite cart. 14.5 straight hours, averaged right at an hour a round.
  13. Only losing an 18.8 which is my worst counting differential, and that’s the only one rolling off in my next 9 rounds. Good chance to take it deep!
  14. Afriat folds eights full. People speculated he misread his hand or card reader but he says he had full house after the hand.
  15. 82 in tourney at Mo Willy today; broken 85 twelve times in my life and six of them now this year. LGLG
  16. I don’t think so. He called two big bets and then went into the tank on a river overbet for all his chips. He has to have something really good. Probably just main event panic mixed with feature table panic.
  17. Winning the first one reduces the chances you are covered the next time. And this is only if you’re against another pair. Get AA allin against AK 3 times and you’re about 70% to win all 3 for example. You start with 60,000 chips. You need 600,000,000 to win the tournament. Passing up 4:1 edges isn’t it. What better spots are we looking for? Should we avoid getting a set in vs a gutty and a back door flush on the flop? Gonna lose that about as often as we lose AA to 99.
  18. Disagree that “trying to protect your stack” is how you win a 10,000 person poker tournament. Getting into giant pots with massive massive equity advantages is though, which then allows you to cover other players so you don’t bust when you lose flips or get coolered also. And postflop, SPR was just over 1 vs a range that is mostly overpairs. Postflop played itself.
  19. I significantly disagree. Take as many chips as you can get as a 4:1 favorite. Also you’re also making him fold AQs/AK which we are even more dominant against. Also if he calls more and folds flops with an over and no 9 he isn’t even fully realizing his 18% equity.
  20. Do we want him to fold 99 to our AA?
  21. An elementary school music teacher who absolutely could still get it.
