If you're playing a Hulk TX now, I'm almost certain that the black would fit you better than the blue. I didn't care for the OG Ventus, but I like the new one a lot. I currently play the Blue 6X.

Same. I do think it’s a ploy by kiffin and his agent to get more money from ole miss.

I finally pull the guy aside on #13 and tell him we don’t want to play with him any longer. Either he could lag behind or we’d wait on him ahead. I said we were just trying to have a relaxing match and it was obvious he had been drinking. Of course, he gets all offended and storms off. Good riddance.


This is so incredibly lame. You're a twosome! Expect to get paired up with someone. God forbid he tries to interact with the other people in the group. Dick move.

I had my first and only last month at Pinehurst #8 hole #5. 116 yards with a gap wedge. Pin was up front, so we could all see the ball disappear. I raised my arms in the air, and one of my playing partners gave me a hard high 5, and it dislocated my shoulder. I popped it back in place and finished the round.
I watched this movie like 10 years ago when I really go into soundgarden and PJ. Wow, it really sucked.

Didn't play Tobacco. We only played Pinehurst courses.

My only true complaints are the HD dive coming out of a timeout on 3D (I think) and throwing short of the sticks before halftime


These were my hangups
I switched to axiom 105 shafts. They are great, but expensive.
I just got back from Pinehurst yesterday. It's incredible. We played 2, 4, 8 and 10. We stayed at the Holly. The bar there is OK. Nothing special.

The cradle was a cool experience. We played shoeless and sipped on some Transfusions. They have a frozen transfusion that I heard was very good.

I remember Dugan's from when I was there in 2015. It was a cool place.

I made a hole in one on course #8. Pretty special time.

Peep Show is probably the closest thing to Sunny. It's British, but it's the funniest show I've ever seen.
Lol. The "lodge" there is basically a section 8 apartment building. I could not believe how shitty the accommodations were. They are priced accordingly though.

Course was good. Definitely not the best public course in the state though.

Westridge is fun. Pecan Hollow is my go to.

Maybe a different hole? Number 7 is 417yds and on the course layout on the website the description says a well laced long drive is needed here. Or did you mean leave your approach shot short and just try and get up and in for par?


You're correct. It's hole 5.
quote:

-#7 miss your drive a just a little to the right and it is bouncing downhill right and into trees. This area eats up golf balls and i have seen many balls get lost that we thought we would find for sure.
-#12 do not hit driver. I have seen a lot of great drivers hit on this hole and it always gets eaten up and ball is lost.



Don't go for the green on 7. Just hit a 4 iron off the tee and LW onto the green. The approach always seems to play short.

Hit 4 iron or hybrid off 12 tee.

I watched The Insider the other night, and I thought he was excellent.

I have considered watching this several times when I logged into NF but didn't because I hate watching docs about stories that have been "done to death" ......multiple books, other docs, movies, etc.

Will I learn anything new from this one or is it just a retelling of the same story from a different view?



I finished it yesterday. I don't recall anything new. It's basically Zero Dark Thirty, but less entertaining.
