My wife picked enough raspberries to make a pie so I'll eat healthy this weekend. 😁

Oh nice. Keep in mind that makes blueberry donuts healthy as well! Enjoy!! 😊🥧🍩

... Any else looking forward to Justified: City Primeval? I am hoping the dialog is on par with the original. So rare for writers to take full advantage of the English language. 

.. I guest starred in an awesome show and one of the best scripts I ever read in Mind Games. I told the writer how impressed I was with the script starting with "I am not kissing your azz but just wanted to say after all the vapid scripts I have read it was so refreshing to read an intelligent script". He basically said thanks but I am scared it will go over the audience's head and we will be cancelled. Sadly he was correct. I also got to work closely with Megalyn Echikunwoke and she was delightful:

Good eye!  3XLindy appears to be a former surfer.

I tried it a few times. Does that count?

Absolutely!  You are a surfer dude in my mind... who knows how to treat a pork shoulder...

Justified might be one of the best series I've ever watched. Binge TV at its finest.

No, it’s from a Google image search!

Oh forgot to post my HS songs!

 

So, as I think about it, there’s actually a difference between the music that me and my friends listen to most… and the songs that most remind me of high school. 
 

Like, we were all rock, Zepp Floyd Stones Rush Steve Miller, every iteration of rock music 

 

But the songs that most remind me of high school are the songs that I remember driving around with my friends, drinking beer and at parties!

 

Like this song, on incessantly, on MTV all the time, chicks dancing around singing it

 

 

 

And this was the late night, stand on the picnic table at a party and belt out

 

 

 

And this must listened to 5,000 times with the boys cruisin to the club 🤣

Stopped by the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz for ice cream and corndogs.

Most of the younger ones down here aren't they look like they just came from the gym and stay there quite often. Now the older ones that have made rank well-----

... By the end of September it is back around 95-100. 95* with low humidity is really nice. October is good playing weather but every course here over seeds changing the grass and shuts down for 2 - 3 weeks. Mostly kinda shaggy when they reopen but they stagger the weeks so usually decent courses are available. Nov-April is just heavenly with very low humidity and lots of 65-80* temp days and a few chilly mid 50's mixed in. It's only mid June through mid August that can brutal. That said, this summer we are breaking quite a few heat records. 

The humidity is killer here with our heat indexes around 107 or so. I played the last 3 days straight and I am out of it. My fluid intake the last 3 rounds has been 6 bottles of water and 2 Pedialyte drinks each round. I did get so tired yesterday that the last 3 holes I could barely get the club back. I am NOT playing the shootout today and made a decision yesterday not to do so even if someone called me. Do not know on Monday yet but definitely signed up for Tue and Thurs. But I am hydrated good and feel ok but I am not going to really push it

Anyone in the Lounge ever listen to the MO boy Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats?

 

 

We are going to see him this summer.  We saw him a couple of years ago and he puts on a fantastic high energy show without the histrionics of some less talented musicians.  IMO

That’s why I can’t play at the nice places.  We stock up on BL.

 

Oh we have those players like you who fancy plenty of suds while they are playing covered P3P. A local brewery makes our house Lager and it is quite popular. There are plenty of cans in the coolers on each tee box.

I would love one of those cans for the collector niche of it. Down here we have so many craft breweries that I cannot count them. Seems like a new one starts every week

I'd be happy send you one Stu. 

I had your address from the putter deal but I probably have misplaced it. 

Please PM me your address again and I'll send you one next week. Actually I'll send you two. One to drink and review, and one for your collection. The label is pretty cool.

Good call Stu.

Lawrence L. (the only member with that first name 🙂) is from Tennessee and is one of the top 5 players in the club. Double L is always in the mix in tournaments, he just needs his partner to contribute some this weekend and his team will be in the mix to win it. Once the field is all on the course I will grab a cart and go watch some of the action. Today is tee times and tomorrow it's a shotgun start.

[BIG STU]

LP when you get around to it I did some minor changes on my WITB.

Built a little heater 5 wood with a soft tipped Fubuki shaft. Can now get the height to carry the 2 swamps on the Par 5s. In fact use it on one of the Par5s off the tee to keep out of trouble and off the tee on 2 of the Par 4s for safe position.

Went back old school on the putter--- It is a reproduction forged soft steel Macgregor TMG TF real blade style with a genuine Neuman factory Macgregor leather wrapped grip. I have putter rather well with it on our crappy greens. And I really love the feel and enjoy putting with it

I loved to do that back in the day if I was not playing myself. Grab a cart and a cooler loaded with beer watch and bet on the action.

... I find it interesting I never hear anything about the women in hoodies and they are very popular on the LPGA Tour.
