I think it should be Phil I just don’t think Augusta will select him. Something about burned bridges and what not

We’re going straight from Nicklaus and Player to Tiger and Phil


I don’t think so on Phil.

Cats are badass.

We had two cats and a German shepherd growing up. They got along just fine and my dad even liked the cats because they killed off the moles ruining his backyard.

I used to love watching them hunt in the woods by my house. Once you realize they are just miniature tigers they’re pretty cool critters.

I'm kind of shocked at this TBH. Like, really?


Another poster in the thread made a good point. They put just about anybody on the list that played 10+years. Obviously doesn’t mean they will ever make it but they at least get on the list.

I don’t mind it at all. It’s a cool thing for the players like Moreland to show their kids, grandkids etc
Being a state fan I’m a big fan of Mitch Moreland but in no way is he close to a HOF’er. I still think Will Clark should be in

I think it’s Rupp, Bear, Saban, Pat

I can hear an argument for Skip as well but I’d go those four

He's a tremendous recruiter. Now how much that means regarding NIL these days, I'm not sure


Relationships still matter to an extent. A lot of times the NIL offers are somewhat equal and then it comes down to preference and relationship with the staff which is a major strength for Stans

My family goes through paper towels at a crazy clip. I've tried to implement a dish rag system but I seem to be the only one who uses them. It's like everyone else gets some type of joy from putting a fat new roll on the paper towel holder.


Same here. Last night was good example. I am getting dinner ready and go to wash my hands, our rags were in the wash so I took 1 single paper towel to dry off. A few minutes later my wife goes to wash her hands and a big rip of the paper towel roll later she has 4 paper towels to dry her hands.

He could’ve hung around a few more years, put up another 12k+ yards 70-90 TD’s and another ring if he really, really wanted
I have not but I was there in January for a wedding. Really cool spot and staff was great. I enjoyed walking along the water early in the morning and checking out the nice waterfront homes along the path.

Breakfast buffet in the mornings was top notch. The meals I had at the other restaurants were good as well.

Sorry not much to add specifically for Easter and large groups but really enjoyed my stay there.

Sergio and Hideki had the best menus


Yea they had great ones too. I put Rahm on top because I think he had Iberico

I absolutely hate when people use this term.

Solid menu.

Not on Rahms level but good.

Be hilarious if some south Louisiana/ms baw won it one year and had a crawfish boil. Imagine Gary Player sucking on some heads

If he is ulster Scot, He is possibly mixed with English and Scottish. Although they are referred to as “scots irish” (and ulster Scot in britain) a good 30% of them came from England to Ireland, as opposed to Scotland. So some are in fact “Anglo Irish” although as a group they started calling themselves Scots Irish to decipher from the “nasty Irish Catholics”. Before the Irish Catholics came to America they mostly just called themselves Irish


Yes you are correct. Our surname hails from England and there are two major streams of it. One was English puritan and the other Ulster Scots. My ancestors were very likely part of the plantation of ulster in the 1600’s where the crown pushed people to settle there and displace the native catholic landholders

Some British people actually do tan well, but mostly they are English. Sounds like you might be more Irish and Scottish.


Yea due to my mom’s side I have more Scot/Irish than my dad does. Funny thing is people always think my dad is Italian because he has darker skin and hair.

I favor my mothers side which is lighter complexion, blonde hair, blue eyes
