i can somewhat understand the lack of participants in the gross division, but if i'm paying to be a member at a club why not take a flyer at the net division. it's pretty much the example of why handicaps were invented.

If there are a lot of snowbirds who are members at the club maybe they should play it in the wintertime when everyone is in town? Although that seems kind of weird since I'm used to club championships always being in the summer.

Yeah it's a month earlier than usual this year. They moved our member guest to the old club championship slot

That is pretty sad.

Does anyone have a golf simulator at home? My wife asked how much one costs. I don't have a clue, but I said they've got to be in the low to mid 5 figures. Then I saw an advertisement this weekend for as little as $50 a month. I don't know what that includes, but it's probably just a golf ball lol. Could you get something for a couple thousand and be able to play different courses and practice or is that unrealistic?

Of course I would need the simulator, matt and screen.

Search for #Thinman posts or PM him as he has an epic simulator setup. Guessing you have seen the commercials for SkyTrac then. I heard that it does a decent job at portraying accurate results at slower swing speeds. If you get above the 220y to 240y range I heard that it is all out of whack.

I'm not 100% sure with my memory, but I was looking into it a few months ago and I think you can get set up with a decent one for 3-5k without an impact screen. You would just be hitting into a net and then looking at a monitor to watch your shot. A nice setup with impact screen and projector and everything I think was 5-10k.

I miss playing competitive golf right now. Having put all my $ into a house has caused me to not play any Am Tour events this year. My hope is that The Grint Tour gets going in the new year here. I played a one off event a while back and if you played it you got free membership for 2020.

Holly Sonders is now in full on Vegas whore mode. Dating Vegas Dave?

Is it bad that I have never heard of Vegas Dave?

My guess was that he was some douchebag with a lot of money (or likes everyone to think he has a lot of money). After watching the video....story checks out.

I hadn't heard of him either.

TMZ seems to be all over the golf news lately: https://www.tmz.com/2019/12/11/pga-g...ng-two-gloves/

I know people always say "victim-less crime" but I sat through a seminar on human trafficking in FL. That was enough to scare anyone.

FSGA came out with the dates and locations of all of their 2020 championships. Happy to see that the Mid-Senior Championship is in Tampa and I know one of the courses very well and it fits my game perfectly. The other one I have played once before but it's also a Club Corp course so I can play it for $20. Guess I have some time to learn it better. I finally have a chance to make the cut!

I just hope Amanda Balionis never goes down that dark road.

You never know but I'm guessing Balionis will not go down that path.

No more work for the rest of the year for me. Time for lots of golf starting today. Unfortunately it's mid 50's and a mist out. Don't care, I'm playing.

wow Holly Sanders, what a trainwreck. Kingsbury dodged one there. What a mess of a lipjob too

Got rid of my pool table tonight.. anyone know much about indoor putting greens? I could probably just go a cheap rug one that you could roll up if they are decent at all. I think the wife prefers that rather than something permanent.

Not sure who either of them are, but my news app told me they're engaged.

Didn't know Vegas Dave before the Showtime docuseries, but I remain at a loss over how he has so much money. Are there THAT many people willing to spend money on his modified martingale scheme?

I need some Christmas gift suggestions for my step-dad. Last year, we got him a putting green type thing.

He's 65, likes the Simpsons, not a Star Wars fan, plays 100+ times a year. I think he's good with clubs. He uses bright colored balls.

What do you suggest we get him?
