This one was my jam through engineering school ...

 

Fancy. I had TI-89.

And does Burns really deserve to be the favorite here?

Who else in the field has won 2 tournaments or more since May?

How much can one guy not named Eldrick win in one season?

Wish I had been on here earlier but my floppy disc broke and I lost my assignment. It was a 1.44Mb one as well 😢

New school!  I can’t seem to find my Fortran and Cobol  punch cards. Will have to write thesis again.

“Basic” came later - too long ago to remember

Rumor is they didnt overseed so should be firm and fast 

 

Can I run up my approach on that rumored 260 yard par three?  I might actually make the effort to find this on the tube if the course is running.

 

....

Joaquin strikes me as a TI-83+ guy.  Not silver edition (I had one of those in HS and college.  You could play games on it!) though.

Tons of room left to run it up to the green. Short left is also a perfect miss as pretty much the whole green is accessible. Never seen it play 260, but I’ve seen 250 once and ~245 often.

Basket for this week:

Burns 14:1, $50

Scheffler 18:1, $45

Finau 28:1, $35

Scott, 30:1, $25

Niemann 30:1, $25

McNealy 33:1, $20

Leishman 35:1, $20

Lowry 40:1, $20

Pendrith 80:1, $10

Mitchell 100:1, $10

Kinda expect Burns, Finau and Niemann to be there in the end. The rest of it was the right numbers for the most part. Scheffler can win if he plays as well as he did at Mayakoba, but I never know what to predict out of him.

Very cold on Wolff, Reed and Koepka, which in and of itself almost assures them a shot.

Computer lab!

 

Remember in HS they had like Commodore Pet in there. And that paper!

 

Nobody went in there 🤣

 

No computers, no phones, no internet. You want to sweet talk to a girl and not have have your friends all goofing on you, there’s no texting! You just pretend you’re jogging around her block (all day) and hope she comes outside to get the mail!

 

And we liked it! 🤣

Nope, but still have my TI-85. Couldn't afford the HP 48 at the time and the TI got the job done.

[bscinstnct]

Golf on the tv 📺! Haha

 

I never been to Houston.

 

I went to a conference in Dallas like 10 years ago. Was like 4 days of steaks, scotch, and jiggly rooms.

 

Pretty awesome, I was like these Dallas guys are party animals.

 

They we’re like,

 

This is nothing. Go to Houston if you really want to party!

Computer lab!

 

I was eventually banned from my HS computer lab because ... well ... let's just say security wasn't much of a concern and by that age, I was well on my way into programming and nefarious activity.

 

They let me get away with it till the time I set everyone's desktop background to a scandalous bikini photo of Pamela Anderson. Apparently that's when I took it too far.

[Soloman1]

I was with a friend who was looking at new Mac G4's in Akihabara, Tokyo in the late 1990's. He was a video editor from England. Anyway, he asked one of the salespeople if he could get an English OS. The salesman said it couldn't be done. It would cost about US$500 and they would have to send it to their technical support "office" to install it after he bought it. It would take about 2 weeks.

 

When the salesman went away, I went to Settings and showed him how to change the OS from Japanese to English. One click, drag it to the top and voila. We decided it would be a good learning experience to change all of the demo systems in this giant Mac outlet to different languages, from Russian to Portuguese to Korean to Arabic...

Wolff with the easy 218 yard carry w/6i… Not too shabby!

Ha! In my day it would have been the Cheryl Tiegs SI fishnet bathing suit!

 

See, you were one of the smart guys who got into coding $ ; )

We make more than &!@#* calculators you know!!

 

 

[Creedo77]

Who does Koepka work with?

 

Theres a clip of him on the range tonight and Randy Smith is out there working with him. I wasn’t aware that Randy was working  with him

TI-82 here, they were huge in Sweden in the 90s

[MattyO1984]

Enjoyed what I saw last night. There wasn’t really anyone that I pull for playing but the course did seem to be playing firm and fast which is always good to see.

[TiScape]

Sitting here watching the tournament… I think talking about vintage calculators would be more exciting. 🤣

I'm watching the leaderboard at the PGA Latin American tour, he'd fit right in there with +16

One month ban for the person that asks “could a 4 beat Chase Koepka?”

(btw. The answer is yes!) 😂 😜
