    The first time I went to PGA event tempo was driven home to me. I went to the Greater Hartford Open and was standing behind the 13th tee, close enough to almost grab the club in their backswing. The hole is a par 5 and the steady tempo really stood out. None of the players looked like they were swinging hard and were putting the ball 300+ yards Smooth tempo is so important. Now if I could just follow that mantra consistently.

    I’ve got just under 1200 sf on one level and have a 6000 btu unit in our bedroom window. I shut all our windows and shades when the sun starts hitting the house. We can keep the house at 77-78 even on the hottest days. We have insulated blackout shades on most of the windows so that helps. Of course we look like a drug house with shades pulled all day but it keeps it comfortable.

    This is where my anger comes from

    Nothing here except thunder. We are in on the severe storm warning but haven't seen anything yet. Today was cut day at the Am, projected at +8. I know quite few guys playing in it. Think they'll get back out?

    Me too. I haven't ridden once this year despite the fact that I was given a season cart pass. I don't scoff at riders but I generally prefer walking and there are exceptions. If I'm playing in a tournament and it's slow, I like having the cart. If I'm playing a course I'm unfamiliar with, I like having a cart so I can ride up and take a look at what I'm hitting towards if it's unclear.

    Lack of severe is getting to you.

    I see what you did there.

    The old ways are comforting in these troubling times.

    The problem wasn't really with the amount of snow, it was with retention. That's my weather fetish. I'll take nickle and dime events all winter long, I just don't want to lose any of it along the way.

    Don't bring a SNE jinx up here! We had our own struggle this past winter.

    I leave my car unlocked and nothing of value in it. I’d rather have them be able to open it to rifle through instead of smashing a window.

    Wait till the kids are teenagers, the dogs will move up on the list. On a similar note, when we my brother and I would act up as teenagers, my mother would tell us she wished she had traded us for puppies when we were little. It took many years and having my own kid get to that age before I really understod her sentiment.

    I’ve noticed the corn has shot up considerably over the last week.

    And there is your severe season.

    Pond update?

    Pretty much the same with me. Reed is the other current guy I don't like. I've never had an issue with Ian Poulter though many don't like him. Back in the day I never had a problem with Nick Faldo and like him as an announcer. I never cared for Vijay Singh either.

    I'd say character related. The thing is, there are tons of obnoxious jerks on the Tour. In fact, you could argue that you need to be pretty self -centered to make it there to begin with. It just seems like he is a notch above the the average jerk.

    I have started to dislike him more and more. I'm not sure why

    Had a real close lightning strike about 20 minutes ago. Heard a pop like a balloon popping immediately followed by a huge crash of thunder.

    Had some loud thunder and relatively close lightning. Power just blinked out too. For a while, the rain seemed like catpaws. Radar looks like we will be in it for a while too. Tuesday night golf cancel

    Now that's classic NNE summer weather!
  23. mreaves
    I thought you meant you've never bitched your way to big totals.
  24. mreaves
    So you were fine before the 100" in 30 days deluge?

    It is so needed around my place too. We have even been missing out on the pop up thunderstorms lately.
