[quote]the ridiculous drops they give players [/quote]
The driving range should be OB.
The grandstands should be OB.
I bet no one else has ever dropped off the driving range or car park....

I mostly walk so carrying extra stuff is not interesting to me.

Seems like the cool guys do it mostly.

The 1980s was weird. Somehow 1992 worked its way into that decade.
Florida and Auburn in 1985 had many pros on their rosters. Neither won a championship, but that game had talent on both sides of the football.
Wilbur Marshall.
Bo Jackson.
Steve Wallace.
And on and on.
The 1988 Auburn tea...

re: Telling a begginer to “start from the hole and work back” is bad advice
Posted by makersmark1 on 5/11/24 at 9:57 am
I agree with your point.
The more proficient you become as a ball striker, the more your potential rises as a golfer.
Good ball strikers rarely hit OB or into penalty areas.
Good ball strikers hit more greens.
I’m not saying improving putting, chipping, and pitching won’t help, but that sh...

We are debating taking a guy from the portal.
He’s got some potential red flags in his past regarding treatment of a girl.
I’m not a big portal guy. I’m not a big NIL hater or lover.

re: I have a sneaky suspicion that Auburn has a big year this year…..
Posted by makersmark1 on 5/11/24 at 8:15 am
With questions on the defensive line?
And LB uncertainty?
I could see the offense being better, but to have a big year you need to be stout and have depth at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the football.
I’d be surprised if we won 10 games....

I think developing a good, true swing is essential to play your best golf.
I am working on “slinging” the club more right now.
A true swing is a feeling that just flows.
I agree that putting and chipping practice can pay dividends, but learning to strike the ball consistently will lead to yo...

Start your day with exercise, walk around neighborhood or hit the gym, stay active: will do

Do any retirees “miss” work?
Posted by makersmark1 on 5/10/24 at 1:11 pm
I’m retiring fairly soon.
I keep hearing that people “miss” work, but I’m very burned out so I just can’t see “missing” work.
I’m not close with any co-workers. I don’t socialize with anyone at work. I am polite to everyone, I just am not chummy. I don’t have enemies or friends per se. I just ...
