re: Who is paying these damn hotel prices in Nashville?
Posted by harro on 4/15/25 at 8:04 pm to StringedInstruments
I travel there monthly for work and never stay downtown because of the prices. On top of the expensive hotel costs, if you are parking a car there, that’s another $50-60 per night. There’s a few hotels around Vanderbilt and a bunch around the airport that are decently priced and without the crazy parking prices. Both locations are a 10-15 minute commute away, but it’s worth it for the money saved

re: Any of you fellas with a GHIN handicap play copper mill?

I think the course rating is pretty accurate for what it is. The 6/6/6 layout along with 2 drivable par 4’s and 2 very short par 5’s make it a course you can really shoot low on. One of my favorite courses to play a chill round

Thank you. I’ll give him a call
Club head bending

Who do you recommend in the Baton Rouge area to bend a club head?
Watch it from the WBR side
re: hard cover carry on bags w/ wheels
Posted by harro on 6/1/24 at 8:11 pm to BilbeauTBaggins
Whatever you do, stay away from Samsonite. Their quality has gone down big time in the past several years. My last two bags I got from them tore up within the first month. I fly 2-3 round trips a month for work, so I can be a little rough on my luggage. I would suggest something with rollerblade wheels that you can replace because the wheel bearings and zippers are the most common things to go out. I went with the RTIC rolling duffle(I know you said you didn’t want a duffle) because of the replaceable wheels and heavy duty zippers and it’s looking like the best bag I’ve ever gotten. I’ve had it for around 8 months now, and it rolls as good as the first day I got it.
re: Fairway wood recommendation needed

You should look into the Callaway Paradym Super Hybrid. Super easy to hit and distance-wise, is roughly between a wood and regular hybrid. I can’t hit a 3-wood for shite, so that club helped with the distance and ease of use I was missing between my driver and 4-iron
re: Balls and the comparison between them
Posted by harro on 3/5/24 at 6:42 pm to contraryman
I'm playing the Snell MTB Prime X's. I used to play The ProV1x or the TP5x and the performance difference does not justify the cost difference. I've pretty much rotated every "premium" ball throughout the years and the Pro V's are the best ball by a landslide, but those MTB Prime X's aren't that far behind it.
I travel to Detroit quite a bit and it is as safe or safer than any other the large city in the country. There are several hotel options downtown. Detroit style pizza is my favorite and a quick google search will give you an idea which places you should try. Someone in an earlier post mentioned the Greek/Mediterranean food, and I would agree with that. They have a huge Lebanese/Arab population there, so you will see alot of those restaurants. They also have pretty good mexican food in the Mexicantown area. If you play golf, the Detroit area has some really good golf courses.
re: 2023 On-Time Performance of North American Airlines
Posted by harro on 1/4/24 at 10:07 pm to LaLadyinTx
If you live in Houston, you have no reason to fly anything else except for United, with Houston being one of their major hubs. I fly 3 round trips a month with Delta, and I'm rarely delayed except the wintertime, when all airlines have issues due to weather.
I'm shocked that CLT has not made the "Worst" list. That is by far the worst airport as far as late flights and navigating the airport goes.
For sauced wings, Chow Yum Fat is my favorite. Can't beat Blue Store, especially for the price too.
The Island will probably be the only playable course tomorrow
re: Going with some Sub70 659TC clubs (Update)

You will love the JB wedges. Switched to those this year and they spin the hell out of the ball. I had the TM MG2’s before. These don’t have the feel of the MG2’s, but the extra spin is noticeable. You can get a little more aggressive at the hole with the JB. I did lose a little distance with them on full shots, but that could be due to the extra spin.
I got a brand called Perfect Caddy off Amazon after my Nikon went out and it has been great. The cost is $140 now, but was $100 when I bought it earlier this year. Has a slope adjustment mode and has a flag lock mode if you want to use that. It’s rechargeable, but I’ve used it for over 6 months now and only had to recharge it once. I’ve shot distances next to all of the big brands, and it either shoots dead nuts with those or off by no more than a yard or two.
If you don’t know how to hit a draw or if you hit with a fade off the tee, SM can be the hardest course for you. Lots of tight OB to the right side of most holes.
We had 2 eagles on 1 in our group. I had 3 eagle putts(1,9,16) that day, but sucked with my putter that day and didn’t get any.

I played it last weekend for the first time in years. I stayed away because of all the negative reports but it was my last resort because I decided to play last minute and they had tee times. I was pleasantly surprised. There were a few greens that needed work, but overall course was in decent shape. That was always one of my favorite layouts and it brought back some good memories. That will be the course I will go to if I need a good confidence booster. Lots of possible eagles on that course, which makes it fun

If you are BBQ guy that’s been all over the South and Texas you will think Blue Oak is average. But for the random person in South LA, it’s pretty damn good. Especially their sides and specials. I went to several places in Memphis and I didn’t think anywhere was better than Blue Oak. That was not the case when I went Austin/Hill Country.
Agree 100%. The BBQ there is good, but is just average if you want to compare it with the big players in Texas or Kansas City.
re: Highest lofted club in your bag?

I don’t understand hitting something with an open face
Wouldn’t you just thin the piss out of it?
Only if you open the club face too much. There are limits on how much you should open the club face depending on what your club's bounce/loft is. I personally rarely open my club face and just hit my 60 straight up which is usually plenty enough loft for any course around here.
I did a similar trip a few years ago. I would personally spend a little less time in Rome and spend more time in Florence and the Greek islands. If you do Athens, you should really only need one full day there to see everything and experience it. All of those places are tourist traps, so make sure you buy pants with zippered pockets so put your wallets. Pack light because you will be moving around a lot. There are several articles online with tips on how to pack and the types of clothes to pack and stay lightweight at the same time
