What do you have?

Sequoia.... It's stated to get 19/22... I get maybe 16 city .. I do get 22+ highway.. But a 20ish gallon tank means I stop a lot on long road trips..

I'm looking at the hybrid Grand Highlander

Honestly been looking at those as well for my wife mainly because she does way more driving than i do.. My office is literally a half mile from my house so I'd keep the Sequoia.. but will the Highlander ive up the 35 mpg claim.. dunno even it gets 28-29 around town still better than what we're getting now..

I tell my friends in other cities about Santa Maria’s pace. They say at their course 5somes aren’t allowed.
I hate it. I hate 5 somes.

I don't mind it is they are quick paced.. I have a group i play with and sometimes we'll have an extra and we can play 18 at around the 3 1/2 hr mark.. It's the 5some where they all think they're on tour taking their sweet arse time..

I can't tell you how many times I've jumped ahead of slow bastards at my home course..

Thanks.. :lol:.. It's mind-numbing how expensive it is .. And her little sister is right behind her so my pain is far from over..

Hope it's not too bad-

I just checked and if i replaced it with a newer non hybrid SUV ( Ford Expedition) the savings would be around $83 total....every 6 months... Not that big of deal..

How's the insurance? My mom got sold on "gas savings" of a corolla hybrid and whatever she "saved" was more than eaten up on higher insurance premiums.

Too be honest'.. I haven't even thought about it because i have a teenage driver on my policy already and it's high as giraffe arse to begin with... Considering its what i do for a living you'd think I would have noticed..

And now you have me wondering...So now Im going to check

Real question... what's the benefit of a hybrid if not gas savings?

Well it was supposed to get better mileage according to Toyota.. It doesn't..
I basically get the exact same mileage I got with my previous Ford Expedition and Chevy Suburban and a 12 gallon smaller tank to boot.. It's the only gripe i have and now I getting hit with a road tax that shouldn't apply to me.. its stupid AF

Anybody played Santa Maria recently?

Yes, this past Friday. It was hot garbage ,fairways were ok at best, greens are up with poa and some had pretty nasty spots devoid of grass. Oh and an 8 some formed in front of us on the last 5 holes which was awesome (sarcasm)

Yeah he was looking like me off the tee this weekend.. My problem is that i don't quite recover like he does.. .

I also can't hit it a country mile either..

Do y’all think he gets to double digits by 2031? Gives him 23 tries to get 4 more. Do you think he gets to 15 or 18 by 2040?

I mean he could. I can definitely see him winning a couple more for sure. It’s keeping the fire and intensity going to compete.. Would be curious if his ultimate goal is to get that second Grand Slam.

Posted by DarkDrifter on 4/12/26 at 6:19 pm to TDsngumbo

Probably because it’s the distance he hits it and he’s comfortable with using it. Wish I had the juice to hit an 8i 180 yards and be long from time to time

re: While I certainly have nothing against Cameron Young

Posted by DarkDrifter on 4/11/26 at 9:29 pm to QB

I threw a $10 spot on him winning if he does I’ll make about 300. So if Rory doesn’t I’m definitely pulling for Cam

re: Would a good range work in BR?

I'll tell you what would work in BR just like it has in Shreveport. That is a David Toms 265 Academy. Young players are developed and fantastic all encompassing practice facilty for all levels of play. Also a 9 hole par 3 course with distances 65 yds to 140 yds. Great for short iron, scoring wedge development. Then there is a 4 hole Loop...a par 3, par 4 and par 5 that can play short or long. Great concept for development....Sam Burns, Carter Toms and Philip Barbaree, among many others than earned college schollie were developed at 265 Academy, and BR would be an even better location for a very similar facility.

My daughter is going to play Collegiate Golf at Centenary and they have full access to this and we got to look around during her visit and it is extremely impressive and yeah. Wish we had something like that in BR
