Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Amazing how you can quickly drive down your handicap.

Oh I don't practice short game. I see bros out on the practice green with string, tees in the ground. Looking like some geometry lesson. Buncha dorks.

I've practicing putting before and it made no difference. It isnt my putting stroke that is the problem. Its inside of my dome. The choke will never go away.

You might be right. I'll try to find it. Great memory if you nailed it.

Flying to Minneapolis today with my 11 year old for drive chip and putt regionals at Hazeltine. 1 win away from Augusta.

Thought we’d be able to play football this morning but weather delay means we had to miss sadly. He’s the qb and I’m the head coach so not excited about that but it is what it is

Take dead aim, aim small and good luck to the young man.

I don't know if this is the place, but my golf cart batteries are on their final season.

I'm going to change to a lithium pack, I am open to what you'd suggest or stay away from.

My best friend in NJ lives in a retirement community and bought a used electric golf thinking he got a deal.

He has spent a fortune on all new batteries, a battery distributor or some regulator piece, a defective 4 month old battery he tossed the receipt away, a new ECU that prevented going over 5 mph.

He is into an old golf cart for like $8-9K and another one of his "deals" that has been a money pit.

He has two boats he got "deals" on years ago and neither is in the water yet. Nothing but problems. I just shake my head.
