Anyone think a rangefinder would be a good benefit to me as I keep in dialing “stock” distances for clubs? I think it’s a lil unnecessary right now.


You could rent an hour or on a simulator.

It’s essentially just a super powered search engine at this point. So, crap in crap out.


For example, instead of asking which paint chips taste best

You should type

Which paint chips would taste the best if you had to rank them? Rank common paint colors from best-tasting to worst-tasting and describe the flavor of each one in detail.

For fun, go tell me how many LSU women’s golfers played a major before lsu period, much less at 15…..


Not majors but quite a few played in pro tournaments

Raegan Denton: Yes. She competed in professional events in Australia before enrolling, including the 2026 Women’s Australian Open (WPGA/LET co-sanctioned; missed cut but had a hole-in-one) and the 2026 WPGA Championship

Francesca Fiorellini: Yes. She played multiple Ladies European Tour (LET) events as an amateur before college (UCLA then LSU), including the Ladies Italian Open.

Victoria Kristensen: Yes. She recorded two top-10 finishes in LET Access Series events before college and competed in other pro-adjacent events while remaining an amateur.

Rocío Tejedo: Yes. At age 15 (2022), she received an invitation and competed in the Comunidad de Madrid Ladies Open on the LET.
Probably retaliation for the whole Gulf of America thing.

For net events and recreational rounds, they probably should make all stakes red.


That’s more difficult when the OB is someone’s yard as you can play out of the hazard (red stake) if you find your ball. I guess you could make a local rule and say don’t play out of the yard and take a lateral.
No. Pokemon is for children. Only Magic the Gathering in this household…

I’m gonna call bullshite. The kid who supposedly did it looks like a skinny 12 year old. Maybe he was playing the front tees and did it.


I’m almost positive #10 from 340 is a blind shot to the green. Wonder if a group ahead of them got hit into and played some shenanigans.

He shanked a iron out of bounds when they had the clear advantage going into the Par 5 3rd green to go 2 up. Completely changed their match.

Thanks. My driver was once again consistent yesterday. Didn’t go OB at all. Still landed around 260-280.


I cannot comprehend how you drive the ball 260-280 which would leave you at most a 9 iron on a 6500 yard course and you barely break 100. In some case you're talking about a flip wedge. If you are driving the ball 280 you must have some sort of athletic ability.

you shouldn't think about "retiring early" until you have at least $10M in net worth


So essentially nobody should be thinking about retiring early.

All U.S. households: ~1.6% have $10M+ total net worth. A $10 million net worth ranks roughly in the 98th–99th percentile overall

They may not be worth $100 million but before this fiasco it was well documented they had around 40 million in apparel sales last year and had a $45 million seed round.

Fun Fact: it only applies to bu ker the ball is currently in. if there is a another bunker nearby you can go take a practice swing in that bunker without penalty.

I'll do a full 55 to a front pin, 3/4 50 into a mild breeze, and I have this shot where I take my hands to about waist high with a pitching wedge with to get a low one if the wind is really howling.
