  1. That's pretty much what my teaching pro has told me. Unfortunately, it seems to have had the effect of making me become ultra aware of it and magnifying it.
  2. Nice. I’ve been beyond lost off the tee. I just can’t seem to stop coming over the top and cutting across the ball. My irons have been decent and my pitching/chipping have been good but when you can’t get off the tee, you can’t score.
  3. Maybe one will take care of the other?
  4. I was just about to say that. Almost like a JSpin type spot but with an additional 1300' elevation. Already has a driveway and septic so there is some value. Not that far from Jay, Smuggs or Stowe. Eden is a snow mecca. I have a friend who has a camp up there on the lake.
  5. It'd be cheaper if he just astroturfed the entire yard
  6. I agree and I glossed over all the problems with the draft and only focused on benefits. The idea of mandatory national service as mentioned by Phin is where I would go but we can't even get people to agree on masks so getting something like mandatory service is a looooong shot at best.
  7. Here is a somewhat crazy theory I have. When we got rid of the draft, we did away with a lot of social mixing. Obviously it wasn't 100% as many wealthy people were able to get out of it but it provided many with their first contact with other viewpoints, religions, ethnicities etc. I also realize that it needed to be abolished when it was but I feel there was a side effect. Not to mention that the military has become almost a separate class. I'm sure there are many holes that can be poked in that theory but it's just a thought I had.
  8. Not as classic as the Roy Orbison song and a little bit cheesier but the Loverboy song is my sentimental favorite.
  9. Looks like you're not the only person thinking about changes to the FedEx Cup https://www.golfdigest.com/story/how-to-make-sure-the-fedex-cup-playoffs-is-truly-a-playoff-john-feinstein
  10. https://frontporchforum.com @SkiVt2, try Front Porch Forum. Each town in VT has their own forum and it is generally much better than Facebook or whatever. Not perfect but better.
  11. That might work but match play isn’t always good for tv. Matches can end early etc. Medal play is somewhat reliable time wise. Maybe you could expand the field to 36, give the top 4 a bye and play Thursday as match play, get down to the 16 winners plus the top 4 and then play a 3 day medal play tournament. The top 4 only have to play 3 rounds and the field is smaller.
  12. Radiant floor heating is awesome with tile. That’s what we put in the mud room/laundry room/bathroom addition we did a few years ago. Should have done it in our old bathroom too.
  13. 55°/46° with wind out of the NW 14 gusting 31.
  14. 55°/46° and winds out of the NW 14 gusting 31. Almost enough to make me close the windows.
  15. The drive never really bothered me. As for big drop offs and such, I never really considered that I was afraid of heights until I went out to the Grand Canyon Skywalk a couple of years ago. That freaked me out a bit.
  16. Not much to say other than wow https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/mass-man-shoots-56-on-bradford-golf-course/2184428/
  17. I've done that twice, I think. We took the Cog Railroad up last year. It was expensive but fun. I think it was $63 each.
  18. After watching that, I don't think I'm applying any time soon.
  19. 50 years from now someone will look at your reports and think August 2020 was a gray, dreary month with precip 6 out of 8 days.
  20. I am so uncoordinated that I could never get the shifting with your foot thing down. I always want to look down when I try to shift. Not conducive to safe riding.
  21. -11 through 11 and the nada. Like Faldo said if he went -11 on his last 11 holes people would have gone nuts.
