#2 green is the worst at the moment. There are some spots on other greens that aren't in great shape, but most of those are isolated to one area. The greens are certainly not to the point of making me reconsider playing there.

I will say that I love the bunker renovation.
And apparently Andrew Novak agreed to just play the Maxfli the whole time during alternate shot as well.

This has been my go to. It's like drinking a Waterloo sparkling water. And much cheaper than the other seltzers too.

Gummies seem to be a better buzz and value for me, but for the situations when I want a drink in my hand, these are it.

I haven't had a drink of alcohol in 55 days now.

re: Callaway Elyte Iron review

Alright, so I’ve been playing srixon zx7’s. Loved them. Felt great, looked great but man when I’d miss a little on the toe I’d get punished but didn’t want a game improvement iron. Went to get fit and then fitter said the new core elyte irons are impressive. I hit them and I loved them. Felt great. Not quite as soft as the zx7’s but not far from it. Extremely forgiving. For instance this weekend I was 145 to the pin. Missed it on the toe. I was pin high and on the right side of the green. Would have been well short with my zx7. Spin is fine. They are a club stronger than my zx7’s so if you compare spin rates that way they are very similar. So 7 iron spins around 6000 which is the same as my zx7 6 iron. 8 iron around 7000 same as my zx7 7 iron.. I’m hitting the 7 iron about 180 carry with little roll out. 6 iron zx7 was around 175. No issues holding greens. They looked great. Same size as my zx7’s and look nothing like GI irons. If you are in the market for a new set I’d definitely try these. I stayed with the same shaft. Modus tour 115x. Love that shaft.


I will echo everything you said here. I bought a set on a whim, and yes, they are about 2° stronger across the board than my T150s. But I'm hitting them higher and further with steeper landing angle. I don't find that I have any gaps across the set despite the strong lofts. And they are so forgiving, particularly on toe misses, which is where my miss is.

re: Alaska Cruise from Seattle

Posted by BMoney on 4/22/25 at 8:37 am
Did one last summer. Sitka, Skagway, Juneau and Victoria.

I played golf with my daughter in Sitka, just because I wanted to say I played golf in Alaska. Beautiful views from the course as it was fairly mountainous.

Did the train in Skagway and it was probably my favorite part of the trip.

Juneau, I did Tracy's Crab Shack then just walked around town.

In Victoria, we did the gardens, which were beautiful.

I'd go back in a heartbeat.

They usually start a few weeks before Mother's Day. And here we are.
Method sounds good. My suggestion for tri tip is to pull it when the thickest part reaches 115. Tri tip is a good cut, but the thickness is not uniform. If you pull it when the thickest part is 130, you will have medium well end pieces.

Well Pelican Point, Copper Mill and Beaver Creek had it figured out in February. And none of those cost nearly as much as Carter.

Has anyone played Carter lately? What kind of shape is it in?


Played it in February (President's Day) and was very disappointed. Greens were fast, but no grass and putts bounced, bobbled and wobbled on every green. Good thing it was a Monday and was only $60. But I don't need to make that drive back there for that.

re: LIV posts atrocious ratings for Miami

Posted by BMoney on 4/8/25 at 10:26 am
Oh good, another one of these threads. Been a while since we had one.

I watched some of both on Sunday. Good leaderboard at LIV Miami. Awful field in San Antonio. Happy for Leish. Happy for Harman. Very few of the guys in the LIV field in Miami would have been in the field in San Antonio, so this isn't a week where I feel shortchanged because of the LIV defectors.

I would like a deal to be struck and everyone compete in a worldwide tour where there are like 8 events spread over the year in addition to the majors. PGA Tour and LIV can stick around for the rest of the year for the golf junkies to watch.

Years ago someone here recommended Finger Ten Rain Grip Gloves from Amazon. At the time a 3 Pack was $14.99 now they are $18.99 and worth every penny. They last forever and work great during the summertime heat.


Discovered these the same way. Been using them exclusively for a couple years now. They are great.

Pro V1X

In addition to the buy 3 get 1 free deal, I stocked up on last year's model at my course's pro shop with their 2 dozen for $80 deal.

What Do you use to protect your TV? Do you just throw a cheap zip up cover for it or do you recommend getting a cabinet made that you can open and close?


I have a cheap cover that is secured with velcro. I leave it uncovered until predicted rain, then cover it up. TCL 55" has been going strong since 2019.

For some reason I’ve never played copper! Should I start going there some?


Yes. They just finished a bunker renovation that really made it nice out there. The new sod will still need to grow in around the spots that they shrunk the bunkers, but the greens are rolling great. Fun layout and relatively easy to get on.

You aren't playing to feed your family, so use whatever works the best for you.

You owe it to yourself to get some newer technology in your driver and hybrid. Even a 3-4 year old model will be leaps and bounds better than a club that's almost 2 decades old. Those drivers that are a few seasons old can be found relatively cheaply.
