    How do you cook bacon?

    We make a lot of bacon at my house as my kids love it. We cook bacon in the oven in aluminum foil lined baking pans. This way really cuts down on the grease mess and allows us to make it just the way each kid likes: “soft bacon” for the daughter and crispy for the boy. How do you cook bacon in...

    Large purchase you are currently saving up for

    What large purchase are you and your significant other currently saving up for? Does not have to be golf related. How far along are you? How much farther do you have to go? No need to be dollar specific, maybe just percentage-wise.

    You have a tee time but wake up sick

    You have tee time but wake up with an ailment. (Not Covid) Do you play anyway? How sick would you have to be to cancel? Could you play with a headache or is that too distracting? I’m probably skipping the round if the situation requires multiple unexpected rushes to the restroom. What’s your call?

    Broken tees

    You come to a tee box littered with broken tees...does this bother or distract you? Do you have to throw some out of your line of sight? Clean a few up or leave them where they are? If you snap your tee on the swing do you always clean up after yourself?

    Crochet & Knit Headcovers

    With so many headcover styles and types in the golf world, I thought I would show some love for crochet and knit covers.

    Name a popular movie everyone has seen except for you

    Name a movie (or two or three) that EVERYONE has seen except for you. I’ve never seen The Godfather. Or any Godfather movie. :eek:And I like gangster films. Casino, Goodfellas, and Donnie Brasco are some of my favorite movies but for some reason I just never got around to The Godfather.

    What a weird world we live in this year. We had a positive covid test at my office this week, seems to be limited to just one person, thankfully. Because of travel schedules, we have been doing Thanksgiving at my parents on the Saturday before the holiday. As such, I let my parents know what...

    The best hot dog can be found where?

    Several years ago I told my wife there was something about golf course hot dogs that made them taste better than hot dogs everywhere else. She rolled her eyes and said “yeah right, it’s just a hot dog.” Some time after that conversation she helped me with a golf tournament I was in charge of and...

    Driver off the deck

    This always is a low percentage play for my game so I never try it. For those of you who may attempt it, a few questions: How frequently is this in play for you? What conditions have to be present for you to give this a go? What’s your success rate? What advice would you give for successfully...

    Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day?

    I find that more than other meals, breakfast can turn us into creatures of habit. Weekdays, I make the same thing for breakfast: Banana and frozen fruit smoothie (usually strawberries or pineapple). Add some Greek yogurt and protein powder and done. We like to do a bigger breakfast on the...
