There is no way I would want to be on a cruise ship for more than about 2 weeks. We did an 11 day Greek Island cruise in November and that was long enough. If the cost and time off work wasn’t a barrier, could you do it...

The retirement of our head greenskeeper and the party that the club threw for him last week created a conversation with my golf buddies on what the market pays for a head greenskeeper in MN were the course is open for about 7 months or less each year. I knew that most country clubs operate as...

I think most of us enjoy the overeating this time of year so I thought we should have a thread to share the cheer. Let’s see the Holiday food and beverage spreads! I’ll start with a charcuterie board my oldest daughter put together for a Christmas party last night.

Is this a sign of end of times, lol? Is there anyone here who wants this for $65 a bottle? Did a late night pot induced munchie bing inspire this? https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/doritos-unveils-nacho-cheese-flavored-booze-costs-65-bottle

Sadly, Israel is at war after Hamas launched 2,000 rockets into Israel. https://abc7chicago.com/israel-declares-war-hamas-attacks-attack-gaza-news/13874103/

I love Bag Boy's Top Lok feature, but I still like my Ping Pioneer bag better than the Bag Boy bags that have the Top Lok. I'm not a fan of my bag twisting or dealing with the straps, so I decided to run to Home Depot this morning and see if I could figure out a solution to lock in my bag...

Apple is shooting for an early 2024 release. IMO, the $3,499 price puts this out of reach for all but the wealthiest or biggest Apple fan boys. Large scale adoption won’t happen for another few years when the price comes down to something like $1,500 and the tech improves. I worry that as...

How many others are waiting for their golf courses to open for the year? Here in Minneapolis we had the 3rd snowiest winter ever going back to 1872 so we still have snow on the ground with more on the way for the northern part of the state today and tomorrow. The snowfall looks like it will...

Here's an article with more detail on what governing bodies might be considering in their quest to roll back distance. https://golfweek.usatoday.com/lists/usga-ra-drivers-balls-distance-debate-model-local-rules/

I've been pondering a home simulator for a very long time and today was the day that I finally began my build. The screen is from Carl's Place online store and the 1" EMT is from Home Depot. The frame hardware/fittings just showed up today after I ordered online from Tarps.com 8 days ago. It's...

I bought this and a Cobra LTDx earlier this month and the Cobra is working so well for me that I'm selling my Stealth Plus that has been hit only 20 times indoors on a simulator. $535 with headcover shipped which saves you about $100 over a new one as they are $599 plus tax. The factory sticker...

I have a conflict with our daughter's spring break and college visits, so I'm selling my Master's tickets. They are going for about $1,000 per ticket on eBay and more elsewhere, so I'd thought I would see if any THP'ers were interested before I put them up for sale elsewhere. I won the...

This is evidently old news but I just read it today. Evidently Snoop has created “Snoopversse” where some insane person paid $450,000 to buy a plot of virtual land so they could be his virtual neighbor. The world has gone mad, lol...

Lol. One thing I didn’t know I needed to worry about with our plans to relocate to Florida in two years. :) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/01/28/florida-iguanas-fall-trees-cold-weather/9233100002/

It's still 111 days until the Masters but a buddy of mine wanted to join us for the Monday practice round and both of us were a bit shocked at how much tickets are going for even for the practice rounds. Inflation is real! My also wife got this email below sent to her today as for the 2023...

A fun video of from Bryson's Youtube channel with him doing some speed training with Kyle Berkshire. Jump about 7 minutes in if you don't want to watch all 12 minutes.

I find this video very interesting and this data makes perfect sense to me. When I was in my early 20's(and longer) I had a 28" vertical jump and now it's more like 18". The longest PGA Tour hitters have a much larger vertical jump and the long drive champs are at another level. Obviously...

I picked up a pair of the new Beats Fit Pro noise-canceling earbuds a few days ago, and so far, I'm impressed. They fit my ear more comfortably and way more securely than the Airpods Pro for things like running or other fitness workouts. They are true to the Beats sound, warmer and heavier on...

I don't own any Bitcoin yet but it certainly is becoming a lot more mainstream. Would any of you be willing to get paid from your employer in Bitcoin? https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/miami-mayor-to-take-his-entire-salary-in-bitcoin-2021-11-04

It's been widely reported that the PGA Tour player advisory council has voted to ban green-reading books. It still has to go to a full vote to approve. What do you think? Do they contribute to slow play on the PGA Tour and/or for the rest of us? I'm not a fan of green-reading books or apps...
