I've witnessed a hole in one on that hole...about 15 years ago. Your initials aren't GW are they? :lol:
I mix my daily 20g of creatine and 10g of collagen peptide powder in with my morning Greek yogurt. I don't even know it's there.

The fabric cover from Amazon has lasted me 3+ years and I think it cost me $30 give or take.

re: Should I take creatine?

Yes, take creatine. Do it for the mental support. Any physical benefits are great as well.

Went for my annual last week, and my doctor told me that there are very few supplements he really recommends, but creatine is at the top of the list.

I started back in February at 5g/day, moved up to 10g/day in late March and have been at 20g/day since May. I can't recommend it enough.

Ventus Black 6x

Swing speed only 103-105

It shouldn’t fit me but it does. Tried 15 options and it’s the best fit


This is me too. I have the same shaft tipped an inch @ 44.5". I've lost no distance and the ball just doesn't curve.

Mini driver has the Ventus Blue 6x and 7 wood has the Red 7x, both tipped an inch.

I have no business in these shafts, but they've been the best option for my swing and I have no desire to change at this point.

For those who have had them, do they mellow you out?


In a word, yes.

I quit drinking alcohol almost a year ago. These have been a good thing for someone like me. No more feeling like shite the next day.

Louisiana's 5mg limit per can is ridiculous. It's the equivalent of only allowing sales of Mich Ultra strength alcoholic beverages.

If you want higher strength ones, they are available for order, which is what I do. My favorites are the 10mg Senorita margarita cans (Lime Jalapeno, Mango and Grapefruit Paloma are all really tasty).

If these went away, I wouldn't be thrilled, but I'll live.

I have a feeling that the Feds will figure it out.

Saw them at the Mad Cool music fest in Madrid back in July. They were great.
I'm 49. Since the spring of 2025, I've completely changed my diet and lifestyle. I gave up alcohol for good last October and now focus on a high protein diet with lots of fruits and veggies. I feel younger at 49 than I did at 40. Not only does my body feel great, but so does my mind.

I don't know if Jacob is still at Golftec, but he did a couple driver fittings for me and was very good. It's been a few years though.

I think it's still cheaper than Cava. Unless you are absolutely loading the bowl, which is possible and I have done that.


I load that Cava bowl up. Power greens, black lentils, chicken, hummus, tzatziki, feta, corn, pickled onions, tomato/cucumber, kalamata olives are just some of the things I put on, and it's $10.65. I've been pleased with the amount of chicken they add to the bowl, which makes it more than worth it, IMO.

Just grabbed a bag of American Classic from Community. It's a true medium roast and might be exactly what you're looking for. Their House Blend is a little darker and richer, but still smooth.

I actually prefer both of these to their Breakfast Blend and Cafe Special roasts.

Might get some flack for this, but I really like Salad Station. I get to make the bowl exactly how I want it instead of someone else putting it together. The Greek flavors at Cava are better, but I end up at Salad Station more often.


I like Salad Station, but it gets expensive. If we're talking salad bars, the one at Whole Foods is really good (also gets expensive).

Been eating Cava a decent amount lately. It's one of the places where all my crew likes and doesn't complain.

re: Naltrexone use

I tried using it several years ago. I can't say it helped one way or the other. But I wasn't using it as a way to quit. I was trying to negotiate with myself so I could keep drinking, just less.

I quit alcohol 312 days ago. It wasn't easy. It was difficult. There are moments and days where it still is.

But it's also the best thing I've ever done for myself. I will encourage anyone who will listen to stop consuming alcohol. I'm a better person, partner, father, etc. because I don't drink anymore.

But I still need something to take its place, and I don't mean substances. I need something to do, because cravings come when boredom sets in. Keeping busy helps a lot, especially in the beginning. Hell, I have to keep myself busy now, almost a year later.

But I encourage you to keep it up. Alcohol is an addictive poison and it's very good at its job. I was fat, out of shape, always exhausted and it cost me my marriage of almost 25 years. Fast forward to now, I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, my mind is clear, I have energy for days and I just got engaged to the love of my life.

The thought of ever giving up alcohol was laughable to me at one point. Now I can't imagine the thought of giving up everything I have now.

He's playing the Acadia Music Fest with Whiskey Myers in Thibodaux on October 17th.
I went the PVC sprayer route when I had my pool and it made a huge difference. Ran the pump almost exclusively at night and this time of year would bring the temp down enough to make it not feel like bath water. My pool got no shade at all, and left alone would get to 94-96°. I could keep it in the 87-90° range if I ran the sprayers from sunset to sunrise.

It was worth the extra maintenance of having to lower the pH.

I'm leaving this afternoon for Spain. I won't come back for 3 weeks.

I need something that will hold an Iphone 16 Plus in a zippered pocket for bike riding. Will Maamgic do that? How big is the compression liner phone holder?


I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max with a Rokform case. It fits in the compression liner phone holder just fine. No zipper on it, but it's not necessary given the design. It's not going anywhere and it stays right on your thigh so it's not bouncing around in a pocket.

re: What brand of gym shorts do you wear?

I like the Maamgic ones off Amazon. Generally $25-$30 each. I love the built in compression liner that has a phone holder and 5" inseam. There are side pockets plus a back zippered pocket that I can put my license and credit card in. I'm 5'11" and 165 pounds, so anything longer looks dumb on me. I run, hit the gym, play beach volleyball and pickleball in them.
