Cheese.
You may be too young to remember the Government stockpiling cheese in warehouses to artificially control prices.

That’s food service, not grocery prices.
Just a example that I used.
You would be shocked on the floor cost of a case of corn flakes verses retail price per unit.
Not dogging the retail store because their margins are very slim.
7 years ago a a 5 gallon box of Coke syrup for a fountain unit cost to a retailer was 70.00, now it is 169.00 on average.
One box makes 3840 finished ounces, depending on the retailer that's 3-4 cents per ounce now.
On the subject of grocery prices

Of course it's easy to place all of the blame on the administration, but where is the outrage against the manufacturers and the distribution networks.
I spent 40 years in consumer goods and some major food companies. I can tell you that people would be shocked to know the actual floor cost of goods and the insane profits that companies are making since covid.
Example- next time you order Ice Tea in a 20oz glass with 1/2 ice for 3.25. The retailer only has 15-18 cents in it.
A fountain cola ? The finished costs out of the nozzle is 3-4 cents per ounce.
Greed is everywhere.

Jim,
I admire you for carrying the torch.
It's not easy going against the grain.
I didn't get a chance to watch it, not sure who won.

Glad that I am past that stage.
Who actually believes that they can tax the rich ?
Posted by bopper50 on 8/4/26 at 6:22 pm
Forget the fact that they have the most talented accountants and investment advisors that would crush the DSA or any government official.
Who would create companies that employees millions ?
What would that do to the market and everyone's 401k's ?
The government is full of millionaires, are they going to surrender their money ?
Hollywood is full of the uber rich, they giving their cash away ?
The stupidity of this tax the rich argument is mind boggling.

There was a Huge water moccasin that would hang out just short of the 18th par 5 green by the road in a hole.
My buddy almost stepped on him.
I don't know what that thing is eating but he is a monster.

I live in Sugarland, 25 minutes from Memorial Park and I spend enough money and pay city sales tax inside the Houston City Limits.
The whole city limits thing rubs me the wrong way.
On Blackhorse, it not near the same course 20 years ago.

I believe every course management company has been involved with Sweetwater at one time or another.
I know, CCA and I believe the Palmer Group twice.

The Disco era was awesome for me.
Living in Dallas with a good job, meeting women at the clubs were like shooting fish in a barrel.
Not disparaging the ladies, they were really coming into their own in the workplace and feeling liberated.
It was a great time to be young.

The young talent on Tour is amazing

So many young players with picture perfect swings and serious game.
The kids are fearless and they have length , accuracy and can putt.
You almost wish that a Trevenio type guy would come along with a funky swing that can really play.

I belonged to Sweetwater CC for two years.
Loved the courses, but some of the members , well I will just leave it at that.
While it Clubhouse is nice but dated.
It need to be renovated.
The changes will be interesting, I haven't heard a start date yet. If they have KF tournaments there, it will be interesting to see how the handle the traffic and parking.

re: Is the Taylormade M6 the GOAT 3W?
Posted by bopper50 on 7/30/26 at 1:32 pm to grizzlylongcut
M6 is a great club.
I would also in the original Callaway Big Bertha 2 wood and the original Tour Edge Exotic.
Cally Warbird, Sonartec, TaylorMade V Steel are next.
Best fairway shaft was the Matrix Altus 80 and the Speeder 757.

900k is chump change for LSU to compare to the bad PR as far as recruiting that Ole Piss will receive going forward.

Everybody should try to play with a plus handicap golfer every chance you get.
It can be a real educational process that could help your game.
I use to play weekly with a guy that was a plus 2.5 at Riverbend GC in Sugarland.
The way he would try to play to a specific yardage off the tee on par 4's and his course management was very beneficial.
