Posted by bawbawbaw350 on 5/2/23 at 8:53 am

There's one here where I live. Dumb question- when you get fitted, is it for a specific brand of mfg (ie do they only fit you for Ping clubs)? It's been almost 20 years since I got fitted for my Pings and Titleist driver. I can't recall if where I went was a Ping fitter or I got to choose. ...

He can play some basic stuff... Ice Cream Man, Could this Be Magic... My whole point was we, as fans, got screwed. Pretty much since 1996, they were toast. 20 years and done. On a side note, I was hoping EVH would emerge in late 60s to rebound his career w/ some acoustic reworks. ...

In an alternate world somewhere, imagine if they all acted like adults... In 1996 VH does a tour w/ DLR and SH... Hell, like the Doobie Bros. Both Dave and Sammy play guitar... they could've even been on stage at the same time. A 5 piece band. Could've toured for years. Instead, we got s...

Yeah I don't wanna drive an hour to play 3.5-4 hrs of golf. My folks were members at Cowans for years. LOVED that place. I've thought about joining there, but I wanna be able to go hit balls for 30 min or putt around after work. That stuff you can't do when you live an hour away. Ever play Ce...

Comparing apples to poop. How big is BR's metro compared to CLT? But to argue your point, lots of cheap land w/ lots of water. CLT is still crap. Raleigh has better public course options, same goes for down at the MB/Grandstrand area. ...

[quote]Public golf in Charlotte is fantastic. [/quote] I beg to differ. It’s atrocious… the public courses around CLT are either goat tracks or are overbooked. 5 hr rounds is no way to play. I live in S CLT and hate that I’m considering looking to join a private club. ...

In 2016 I was out in Seattle for a work conference. I used to smoke weed in HS and some in early college. I was a stoner. But once I got out of it (around 20 yr old), I’d rarely smoke… And for most of my adulthood, I rarely smoked weed. Then in 2015 in Seattle I had to go to a dispensary… I haven...

Agreed. Son and I played Indian Bayou 3 weeks ago. Pretty good course. We had a 5some one group ahead of us… at first I was a little miffed, then I was quickly reminded that I suck and my 12 yr old is just getting into golf. So that 5some wasn’t much of an issue. One thing I was kinda disap...

As much as I despise most country music, the Macarena was an absolute shitshow. I was in college in 1996/7 or whenever that song came out and EVERYONE was doing it. Bars in college w/ hotties, old people about to die in retirement homes. It's probably the reason Bush beat Gore....

Never understood the love for Springsteen. I'm can't judge as I like wook hippie music like the Dead, BMFS, etc. But music is so personal... if you grew up in the 70s and lived in Jersey, you probably had lots of good memories with the soundtrack of Springsteen. It's the same thing for me...

Wow, this is an awesome VH tune. How did I not know this was out there? I saw them in 2007 in Charlotte... first show of the tour. Sound was so awful. Seats sucked (sold out in seconds). That concert is one of the reasons I don't like indoor venues. Too much echo....

Once Axl brought out the piano, I was out. No pianos, no symphonies; just guitars, bass, drums, and that voice. Don't get me wrong. I love Civil War and Yesterday; but those two can't touch anything on AFD (arguably one of the best music albums of all time)....
