re: What are the nicer public courses in your area?

I'm not sophisticated enough to post pics, but our AW Tillinghast course, Swope Memorial is being re-done with a 10M influx of cash. Can't wait for it to re-open. Built around 1930's - it's fantastic and should re-open around summer '26. If anyone is ever in the KC area for public golf, it's my suggestion.

re: What age did you older golfers move up to white tees?

Posted by Tortilla Tiger on 5/13/24 at 7:55 am to Zamperini2014

I'm 60, and am comfortable playing anything 6300 or shorter. That's my first priority when playing any course other than my home course. Not sure age has any factor.

He always crushes here in KC - plays and sells out Knuckleheads venue every time. Always a good show. Good hang, but gets the drunk crowd, big time!!

for many years they sell out multiple nights here in KC. they're terrific! Always a great evening if you want to hang with a great crowd and fun music. Mavericks have been at it for a very long time, and I see them every year they come to town, if I can get a ticket.

I love the Rockingham album. I have a love/hate with BJB. financially supported a couple of his albums, and gave him $ after his mom's passing. But after his Normandy invasion posting on social media, I couldn't support him anymore. Certainly respect his work ethic, but I had to move on.

Agree with all of this: a bit less expensive but great round is Carmel Valley Ranch - just offering another option

Well, didn't see Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa mentioned. Certainly have to throw this venue in there. If ever in Tulsa, it's fabulous. If you're a burn bar venue sort of person, Tulsa's Mercury Lounge is outstanding.

I played it in '98, year after Rider Cup - was a fantastic course, but relied heavily on caddie to help read the greens. It's a marvelous area of Spain.

I'm going because I've been such a huge JD McP fan for so long, and so happy to see him in this setting. Can't go wrong with Plant and Kraus, obviously. Seeing them May 5 here in KC.

re: Attending a PGA Major....advice?

Posted by Tortilla Tiger on 3/27/23 at 6:23 pm to Tyga Woods

If you're ever able to go to the practice rounds, you should. Still crowded but you can find a group of golfers that don't have many following them, and you can walk the course with usually about 4 to 5 golfers in a group. They hit multiple shots each hole, and it's very interesting seeing them strategize with their caddies, and banter with one another.

So glad to see Slobberbone pic. Used to see them at Trees in Deep Ellum w/ Old 97's and some others. Dallas had a great music scene in late 80's early 90's.

re: Thinking of visiting National WW2 Museum in New Orleans

Posted by Tortilla Tiger on 9/7/22 at 8:11 am to Deplorableinohio

Nice little public service announcement: if history is your thing, we have an outstanding WW1 Museum here in Kansas City. Well worth the visit if you're in the area, and yes - more than safe to park anywhere, walk till you can't. It's in a great area with tons to see and do. On edge of downtown with great good, drink, etc.

re: Dale Brown looked feeble last night

Posted by Tortilla Tiger on 1/5/22 at 3:17 pm to basiletiger

I don't comment a lot on this board, but I was a student trainer there in the 80's and my biggest takeaway re Coach Brown was his activities when we travelled. He always filled road trips with tons of tours, etc. He always scheduled holiday trips to play in Wash DC, Hawaii, etc because he told me one time that for most of his players, they wouldn't have a chance to experience it again. Just a bit of a picture of his thought process when he was a coach. It's much more than x' and o's when you're a coach. My two cents, now carry on....
