  1. Had a video evaluation and my head was moving way off the ball on the backswing, I was too far back onto my heels at address, and I was too far from the ball. The last two had crept in as "hosel defense."  

    I also had really gotten good with 30-80 yard shots (good for my level), but the last several rounds, they were terrible. Had two range sessions working on keeping head centered, standing closer, and more on the balls of my feet. Worked well on range. Took it to the course yesterday. Played a tee box back from normal, so only ended up with two 30-80 yard shots.  Hit the first one to 7 feet from 55 yards, and the second one I had 70 yards in on my 18th hole and just dunked it for eagle. Uh, that seems better than skulling it all over the lot!

    Ball striking was mostly quite improved, I had the first +SG approach round (compared to 15hc) in Arccos in the 42 rounds I've used it. Had my 3rd worse SG putting round, which I'm writing off to flukiness, putting has been really really solid. Hit the last 5 GIR, went par-birdie-3putt bogey from 20 feet-par-eagle to close. Exciting!

  2. We played golf at Mustang Creek in Taylor and got the tip screen when paying for our golf. The same counter is where you pay for snacks and drinks, they don’t have a separate one. But still.

    Went to an off strip casino resort last week. It was pretty smoky. It’s been five years since I visited the strip. Are the main strip casinos pretty smoky too? I don’t remember that the last time I was there. 

    I'd say generally not smoky at all in main strip casinos, unless you are at a table or machine directly next to someone smoking.

    All tabs. Signs all over the bar, so I’m guessing it was a new thing. 

    If they are just adding 20% to all tabs, you'd think they would get a much more favorable response if they just instead said "Good news! No more tipping at all! Price you see is what you pay!!" and just raised all the prices 20%.

    Just dropping in to say that Kerlaches are a gift from god to our mouth holes…

    OH MAN. I thought these were gone when Kerlin BBQ went away, but this sparked me to research and see that they still live. What great news!

    If you’re open 5 hours a week with that rent and no one’s in line as you’re opening your time is gonna be short in this world. Looks like they used up all their hype. I like Chucks CV and story but it’s a bidness at the end of the day.

    The article said the line was around the block at open. 

  7. I feel like divots are the scrapes taken from clubs and ballmarks are the indentions made by the balls hitting the turf, but I can't reconcile that with the fact that the thing used to fix ballmarks is very often called a "divot repair tool".

  8. Looks like bent grass. Those greens always seem to take divots, even repaired ones, really poorly in Texas.
    Don't sweat it, I've missed worse. Still love the game.

    Haha yeah won’t be the first or the last. I did convert this bird on 16. And good call, they are bent grass greens. 848a1cf0e54d2008d5ab8543ad090647.jpg
  9. Played Diamondback National in Abilene yesterday. Really great layout. Excellent conditions, fast greens. Lot of unrepaired ballmarks for some reason but super true other than those. It was like $80 which for Abilene on a Wed seems stiff but I really liked it.

    Had this putt for birdie on 1, and hey E through one is still good right. Right? ad23e4755d230eafc7b75762391e4f4c.jpg

  10. My trip was awesome!!

    One cash on twelve entries, including zero bounties in 2 (kind of 3) bounty tournaments.

    Finished the trip ZERO FOR TWELVE on my last 12 allins with cards still to come, including two of them for bounties where I was 95 and 80% when the cards go on their backs).  1/4096 shot assuming average of 50% equities.

    Had coffee spilled on me and my Peter Millar pullover I got at Bandon Dunes then the dude who spilled it screamed at me for it.

    Aria stole $800 from me (I registered as alternate, explicitly asked and was told I could get a refund as long as I didn't take the seat; was playing video poker while I wait, machine freezes mid-hand with a huge draw pending and me with hundreds of dollars in machine; I have to flag down 3 different people and wait an HOUR to get the fucking thing unlocked; finally do (miss draw obv); go to get refund, whoops sorry we put your chips in play no refunds after reg closes). This is the third bounty tournament I referred to above. 

    Made plans once poker was done around picking up a rental car for the last day, get there, sorry no car! (cue Seinfeld reservations clip).

    SWA broke the pull handle on my luggage, then delayed my return flight so that I got to my house at 5AM.  

    Shit gets OLD.

  11. Been a couple months since I've played anything. I also created a Twitter Circle that are the only people to see my tweets, for 1) to not spam tons of people who don't GAF about things like day 1 chip counts or hand histories (including people who don't follow me, but someone they know does, etc.) and 2) to ensure people at my table aren't seeing the tweets. 

    Fire me a DM here or there and I can add you.

    First visit to Burnt Bean. Got in line at 11 on a Thursday, got food right before noon. Everything was excellent. The Tejano brisket taco was extremely good and great value for $6. The homemade tortilla was a wonderful touch.

    Loved the street corn pudding and the banana pudding as far as items that someone might not get every time. The plates were also superb value and sides worth it.
