  1. Yup, total fluke too, but strange things happen and I'm not complaining.
  2. I’m not sure where this should go, but I can’t imagine Shank wouldn’t enjoy this with a cold bud light. This popcorn is from a place in Dallas and it is spectacular.
  3. Went out and walked nine yesterday. Hit 7 of 7 fairways from the tips and... not one GIR (not even on the par threes). I just could not get close to the hole with my wedges.
  4. Holy shit that's brutal. Unfortunately I can empathize.
  5. Played the La Cantera Resort course last week. It was misting rain for the first four holes, but it dried up a bit after that. The course is fun and pretty wide open (typical resort course). Greens were a bit slow due to the rain, but all-in-all the course was in good shape. I was crushing my driver and only missed two fairways, but putting on a hilly course is not normal for this flat Houston guy. I had 31 puts (6 three putts), but somehow managed a smooth 80. I was pretty happy to drive the green on number 7 (hole with the tee box on top of the cliff that overlooks Fiesta Texas). Hit my drive about 310 down the chute, but three-putted for par. I love/hate this game.
  6. I just got some new clubs from Golf Tec. I liked the experience. PM me and I can get you "free" fitting if you're interested. Otherwise I liked the guys at Golf Galaxy on Richmond, but they didn't show the stat comparisons as well as the Golf Tec guys. I know a bunch of people who use Club Champion, but be ready to bend over and take it right in the wallet.
  7. I’m pretty sure it’s a Honda, but I don’t know which model. Kind of looks like a Passport. 61k miles though so probably a 2017/18.
  8. I’m guessing you went to the Cloak Room. If so, you knew what you were getting into so you really shouldn’t be surprised.
  9. Thanks, I'm playing with my Dad so I think I'll switch to the Resort course.
  10. I'm headed to La Cantera next week. Thoughts on whether to play the Palmer or Resort course?
  11. What Huge said. This was more like finding an old bottle in the back of a random liquor store. I can’t imagine how long that bottle has been sitting there.
  12. Had a couple of these at Lynn’s steakhouse in Houston for $14 each. I think he upped the price after we took a picture of the bottle. This was discontinued in 2013 but this label is even older than that. It tastes like bourbon should taste.
  13. I'm going to be in San Antonio in a few weeks with the kids. Should I take them to the River Walk (they are 5 and 3) to ride the boats around? Thoughts on family tex mex (Taco House looks awesome, but I need a sit down joint)?
  14. Played out there a couple of years ago. It was fun but there wasn’t much of a clubhouse or anything. However, if I could do it again I would have gone a bit farther to Wolf Creek
  15. That’s pretty cool. Boulevard Bistro was our go-to occasion spot back in the day.
  16. In reference to the lesson discussion: I bought a GolfTec package late last year. It wasn't cheap, but it's helped immensely. I know everyone uses video for lessons now, but it's nice to be able to go and practice and video yourself. It's helped me a ton in self-diagnosis when out on the course. My biggest issue was my backswing was so long I was striking the ball inconsistently. I had to fix my brain to realize what felt like a 1/4 backswing was almost full, and that I didn't need an exaggerated backswing to obtain the same distances. The difference in the accuracy in my irons is night and day and my confidence level his way up when hitting any of my clubs.
  17. What ever happened to the inside out game with a big man in the post who can take high percentage shots or dish out for open threes if double-teamed?
  18. Who could be anti-duck? They’re delicious.
  19. LOL, I bought three bottles of Billecart today and I thought I was restocking.
  20. We used to stay at the Hard Rock all the time and I never felt like I was so far away. I love what they are doing here and I hope it leads to success so others will follow suit.
  21. It was after 4:00 and I decided I would like some Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
