@texasrunnerDFW Prosper is just homes (and a grocery store). Doesn't matter how much "space" you have if you are spending two hours a day commuting and paying $200/month in tolls. Never understood the appeal.

This shouldn’t be allowed.
I’ve seen more US Open qualifier videos this year than any year before.
It’s becoming a rite of passage for every social media influencer with a handicap and a pulse.

Golf "creators" are ruining competitive golf. It's one thing to film yourself shooting 82, it's another to invite your cameraman ONTO the green, DURING PLAY. It’s intrusive, disrespectful, and a distraction your playing partners didn’t agree to. Embarrassing behavior.

Got a big golf trip coming up. Walking 7 rounds and I need a good recommendation on shoes. I’ve really only ever worn FJ premiere series. What else should I look into?
English
@thecorpmex This is complete BS. Where in California and where in Texas? LA, SF, or San Diego are 200-300% higher COL areas than anywhere in Texas.
English
My Dad called this baloney decades ago. He would visit me from CA & I would chirp this line at him. He did a deep dive on my groceries, natural gas, water, electricity & property taxes, etc and showed me that he paid less in overall costs.

6 years of living in Texas and I've come to the conclusion that the no state income tax thing is basically a scam. The property taxes are so high that they negate any savings. We are still paying as many taxes in Texas as we would in California. You save on gas I guess.

@Dash_Golf @BrianKirschner_ I still remember the baked out conditions, his hole out eagle, and him crying in Stevie’s arms when he finished.
English
@BrianKirschner_ 2006 Open so underrated one of his best majors hit 1 driver all week, 2 iron off the tee best iron/player to ever play the game

@BrianKirschner_ Pretty close here. Maybe move the Tiger Slam Masters up a few spots?
English
@AndyTFE @panmuregolf Agreed. Start and finish are pretty simple. 3-16 are amazing.
English
@Top100Rick Worked at many of these through college as they opened up. It’s more about the service and exclusivity of these places than the actual golf. Some of the courses are amazing (Gozzer Ranch, Mountain Top). My preference would be for UK linksland/heathland golf all day long.
English
You hear about list chasers who chase the Top 100 golf courses.
But there is a more exclusive list.
The Discoveryland collection.
The most expensive collection of clubs. Almost zero unaccompanied play allowed. Absolutely incredible experiences.
I’ve only seen 9 of these.
English
@CPowers14 Exactly this.
Counterpoint - “Grandpa, thank you for my trust fund.”
English
“Grandpa, you got to stay in the crow’s nest at Augusta National ?”
“No, grandson, I took guaranteed money to team up with Phil Mickekson, who didn’t play all year, and I finished DFL the week after the masters at a place called Chipotlepec”
English
@LeftyWinter @AOC There should be a public option plan. As an entrepreneur, getting health insurance is mostly cost prohibitive. The ACA exchange system is completely broken.
English
Dr. Steven Greer says he has an NSA scientist source that claims the MH370 videos are real and it's an Einstein Rosen bridge, also known as a wormhole.
English
@GolfDigest Maybe stop mowing the fairways towards the players. (and probably watering as well) to reduce distance.
English
Yesterday, Scottie Scheffler joined some of his fellow Masters champions in talking about something you're not supposed to talk about at Augusta National.
Mud balls.
English
Scottie at full tilt 👇
Drives it 347 yards down the 3rd hole. Makes birdie.
Has talked before about how he feels he has a lot left in the tank when he hits driver. Hard to disagree with shots like this.
English
@TronCarterNLU Rory’s putt on 1 shows he nervous. Left it 1.5 feet short from 12 feet.
English
@Top100Rick I shudder to image chipping to those greens from tight non-overseeded bermuda!!
English
@bigskydrifter Yep that as well.
It should be Bermuda anyway but that doesn’t look as good for TV.
English
Scottie mentions something about The Masters some players are afraid to mention:
The MUDBALLS.
Spieth ranted about this a couple years ago.
Even with no rain, the overseed is watered and kept long to slow down drives. This means mudballs.
English
@Top100Rick I think it also has to due with them mowing the fairways towards the player.
English
You can see why the Masters is so for the rollback.
Even with extensive lengthening, they also have to slow down the fairways to keep it from being completely overpowered.
This course would even more amazing if they could firm up the fairways again.
English
@shanebacon Also. Why is the hazard on 11 marked as a yellow? Seems like it would be a red since it’s to the left of the green.
English
With all these characters and all the movement happening, today feels like the second nine of the final round of 2011 which includes a very, very main character in a very similar position.
