My favorite Burrow-to-the-press moment is, after we smoked Arkansas and had A & M next, he said that, unlike usual Saturday nights after a win, they were already thinking about the opponent in the locker room. When they asked why, he said “to go 12-0”. Then he smirked, which showed that it was all about revenge for 74-72

Did anyone ever rat out the asshat who did that at the Island?
If you’re ever in Kansas City with some spare time, there is a good WW I museum there.

This type of thing is exactly what I’m looking for after a game. I learned a lot about technique, playcalling, etc. I like that they chose a limited number of plays, and delved deep into each one.

My only critique would be that it would be helpful if they took themselves out of the tv picture, and have the play as the entire screen, making it easier to see everything. Also, it would be helpful if they had a pointer on the screen that they could use during the discussion.

Yes, much improved over the old building. Seems to be run better, as well.

I’ve played there a few times. Do you know which 3 holes?

What is the 1000 yd challenge?

Obviously too late to help you with a round this afternoon, but if you live in Youngsville with family, joining Le Triomphe is a slam dunk. I was a member there for 30 years, and I’ve played there recently. (Not subtle brag: My name is on three of the five hole-in-one plaques). Course in great shape, practice facilities excellent, members are happy with new management group. They’re building a new pool. Probably wouldn’t take you long to find a group to play with.

Caldwell CC is known for being a typical small town 9 hole design, but with really good greens. Unfortunately, they lost the greens recently (the January freeze?) and have temporary greens.
Yes, she’s the court reporter. That’s the new way of scribing, as opposed to the older, more difficult, shorthand typing.

I’ve always been in favor of playing OB like a lateral hazard that can’t be hit out of. Certainly would speed up play.

The reason I didn’t like it is that it gave me the actual yardage that I hit each club, not what I imagined my yardage to be. It was too depressing. I’d rather live the lie.

Looks like Cypress Bend Golf Club would be in your wheelhouse. I’ve been reading good reviews about it.

Gnats used to be brutal at Kiva, but I haven’t noticed any gnats at all since one of the hurricanes got rid of all the brush between the fairways.
I’ve been to Hyatt Lost Pines 5-6 times. Just east of Austin airport. Great golf course. Then beer and the lazy river.

Agree with all of the above.
Also, I take less than a full swing when choking up (maybe 3/4 or 4/5 swing) and I use less wrist, more of a punch swing.
I find, for some reason, I end up with lower scores when I keep score in my head. ;)

It’s “Moops”.

We go to Navarre Beach at that time every year. Tiger Point and Hidden Creek are your two options. Regarding Hidden Creek, remember to ask about their green aerating schedule. They always seem to aerate that week, on Wednesday and Thursday, closing 9 holes at a time. Consider playing early in the week to avoid that.
There is a book called Accident and Deception: the Huey Long Shooting, which looks into this. Written by Donald Pavi, MD, who interviewed people including at least one former bodyguard of Long. It’s a good read if you’re interested in this.
If they were to change the format, I’d rather 4 days of best ball over 4 days of alternate shot. It’s fine as is, though.
