I’ve stubbled across royal family stuff from 1500-1700’s on YouTube.
I can’t imagine getting the ax to the neck.

I looked on YouTube and didn’t find anything- maybe it’ll be posted later.
If someone could share I’d appreciate it.
I live outside the market
Thanks

re: Did you marry a prissy, ladylike woman?

Posted by Gorilla Ball on 8/18/26 at 10:29 pm to cbree88

No she’s pretty, down to earth, loves to laugh, dance (was a dancer at LSU) ballet, is quick witted, and is a wonderful Cajun cook.
Not prissy at all. Very independent thinker.

Personally I think young people do a poor job of managing money
Too many $8 coffee daily
Too much streaming services
Too much Uber Eats
That’s what made housing unaffordable

If I top the ball and it makes it somehow to the fairway then I don’t mark it as a fairway hit.
I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t track putts per round. Reducing three putts matter

re: Breaking 90s

Posted by Gorilla Ball on 8/12/26 at 6:36 am to BRsundog

I record fairways hit or greens hit on par 3’s
Number of putts each hole and three putts per side - if any
Lost balls if applicable
Bunkers
And enter it In ChatGPT and let it analyze it
Working on chipping before each round with purpose
I also use a handicap tracker

When I moved from La to Az my handicap was 12.3 then after moving it slowly climbed to 17 which I was bummed about - the courses have more elevation and side hill lies etc. currently it’s dropped to 15. It’s been a battle
