  1. You aren’t actively shitting the food but the grease can grease the skids for pre-existing material, to my lay understanding
  2. Haha! Big Yip candidate, I have a history of some pretty crazy net rounds, very high variance player. My career best is 77 on a par 70, I was about a 21 at the time. Next round was a 108. I also have been +2 on the 11th tee and finished +21. 38-55. Was 6 up on my dad in our match on 11 tee, lost 1 down. I played two days after the 80, hit 7 GIR and still shot 101. Was +16 on 3 holes. At least this one got posted as a 94 instead.
  3. I really like it, other than the annoyance that there are two par 5s with forced layup off the tee. Was in great shape. Greens were just finishing recovering from being punched, rolling well and quick.
  4. Played Plum Creek again Saturday on 3 hours of sleep. Was +6 through 6, then hit 9 of the next 12 greens, including 8 pars and a birdie. Again got to 18 needing a birdie for 79. Sadly drove into the fairway bunker, but then hit a fantastic 5 iron to 20 feet for a very real look at the 79. Buddy's putt on similar line was really fast, and I left mine 8 inches short in the jar for another 80 and my second USGA Exceptional Score Adjustment in 3 months.
  5. I guess I had to log in to my PokerAtlas account. No reason to make it so difficult to get to this info.
  6. I mean, yes? When I go on their website and they have a tourney calendar and I click on a tourney in the calendar I should see the structure. On their site right now, literally zero tourneys on the June calendar. Not super helpful if I wanna plan. I then clicked the “view poker atlas” button. Once I found the June 1 tourney, click it. The structure is greyed out, can’t click it. Useless.
  7. Not to mention how it would compare to 25 years ago, but Black's on Guadalupe would be the best BBQ available in 99% of the cities in the United States right now today. The idea that it is "shit" because maybe 100 other places on earth do it better is incredibly stupid.
  8. Stiles Switch Cedar Park on 1431
  9. 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.
  10. I do like some Tavern! And trust me, there was zero judgment in the post, I have probably spent $200 in a day many a time on food at the Texas Fair, and have had many fat ass BBQ trays snarfed down. Respect. It was more that I do like places like Louie, but I would be immersed in regret, darkness warshing over me darker than a steer's tuckus at midnight, in the post-nut clarity of what I could have done instead with over $100 vs "pretty good" cue.
  11. you spent over $100 on lunch for one person at Louie Mueller?
  12. hopefully TCH launches a good promo to take advantage of disgruntled Lodge people sure would be cool if TCH's website didn't suck and tourney structures were online. why is shit so FUCKING hard for everyone?
  13. $25 annual membership helps that some but yeah gross.
  14. I was going to say the same about Lewis, though I haven't had it since 2019.
  15. There is a poker term called FPS - Fancy Play Syndrome, where players do things not because they are correct, but cause they make them feel clever. Franklin BBQ not being one of the 10 best BBQ restaurants in Texas is 10000% FPS.
  16. That really hit me hard in a way most of the others hadn’t.
  17. Mother Wolf was excellent at FB.
  18. No Strapped or Tourist Sauce? Those are both so good.
  19. Saw a Moreland/Isbell concert here several years ago. Slammed. Went hard.
  20. 3 is awesome, it's the only one I've actually played there. Tobacco Road is also absolutely phenomenal.
  21. If it isn’t 10, I’d be damn sure to be getting a discount bc you were def paying a premium for 4. I would be really confident they will put you on 10 if at all possible.
  22. Pasatiempo trip report! Had to go to Santa Cruz for my daughter’s roller derby tourney. Had heard excellent things but the price was exorbitant. Lucky for me, right after the Western Intercollegiate they close the course for four days for maintenance. After that, they offer a significant discount for the next 13 days. I paid $220 to walk and rent a push cart, normally would be $425. The GM assured me it would be very playable and it was indeed! Was cart path only as the main difference, which I didn’t care about. Greens had a light top dressing but rolled plenty pure. View from 1 tee with the bay in the background. Only a 440y par 4! Hit a decent drive but overdrew and had to punch under trees. Got down in 3 after that for a solid bogey. 3 tee. No prob just a par 3 playing 200+ uphill and into a breeze, surrounded by bunkers with flag tucked on a shelf in the very back. Hit driver and was just left and short of the left bunker. Hit a solid pitch that didn’t quite make the top shelf, came back down to 35 feet and sadly 3 putted. 8 tee with 9 and clubhouse in background. Good: made a sick up and down from the short left bunker. Bad: it was for double. Did have an easy par on 9, the only one of the day ooooof. 15 tee. Apparently McKenzie viewed this and 12 at Augusta as analogues. Came up in fried egg in short leftmost bunker. Hit an excellent out to 9 feet but missed. View from facing and beside 16 green, one of the most amazing and severe I’ve ever played. Would love to just chip and putt around on this for days. The rare closing par 3. Thinned my tee shot but jusssssst covered the bunker and released to the middle. Literally no idea how you stop it near the flag tho, had 12 feet back from front edge and couldn’t have done much better. 103, 7 fairways, 2 GIR, 38 putts. Currently have it as my #3 all time course. It was a SOB of a hilly walk, my app said I covered 32 flights. Had cramping on front of my leg just above my ankle that night. I can’t really justify $400+ anywhere but I’d drive a few hours just to play it again at $225 for sure.
