    OT: 2026 PGA Tour Thread - Masters Week

    I thought the back and forth all day made for incredible theater and even at the end I was on the edge of my seat after Rory hit his driver so far right (I still think he should've teed off with an iron to eliminate a big number that likely only comes with a driver - he got very lucky he had a...

    Once again demonstrating the kind of stupidity that has made you the least liked poster on these boards for decades now.

    Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant, lol.

    OT: Cool new article on Matt Pinfield (Apr-26)...Fantastic Interview of Matt Pinfield by Rick Beato (Aug-25)

    Yeah, there's not too much new ground to cover and they didn't go into much detail on the shenanigans that went on while he was in a coma (I doubt the podcast did either, but haven't gone all the way through it) and there is some serious dirt there, but my guess is Matt may never tell that story...

    Yep, but he just hit a poor shot on 18 that he had to have to make birdie. Rory 2 up with 3 to play is definitely his to win or lose, unless Scottie chips in or Rose gets one more - although with one bad drive and a 3 putt one can drop 2 shots easily.

    McIlroy with a gorgeous birdie on 12 to go to -12 and a 2-stroke lead over Rose (who just 3-putted 13 after being on in two after bad bogeys at 10 and 11), Young, Henley and Hatton, who is in the clubhouse with -10. Long way to go still.

    Rose now up 2 strokes on Rory, Young and Henley and 3 up on Scottie and Hatton - amazing how quickly things change. Wouldn't mind seeing him finally get a green jacket.

    OT: 2026 PGA Tour Thread - Masters Week

    Rory's struggles continue today. Even when he was -12 after two rounds a lot of that was amazing chips and putts, but that can only hold up so long and he paid for his inaccuracy a bit yesterday and moreso today, as he's +2 through 6 with some bad irons and poor putting, so he's 2 back of Young...

    Phenomenal shot, but like on 13 and 15, where he hit bad drives, he made perfect trouble shots to good spots to at least make par likely and birdie possible.

    Figured I'd add this here instead of starting a new thread. Great new article in the Times on the irrepressible Matt Pinfield, with some more interesting history and some interesting nuggets on his recovery from last year's stroke and coma. Amazingly he's doing quite well now. My favorite...

    OT: New Music (Released January 2020 or Later)

    Favorite new song time. This one is from Briggite Calls Me Baby's second LP (can I still call it an LP?), a newish band formed in 2022 in Chicago, and it's called Slumber Party. It's a great mesh of 80s New Wave (the lead guy's voice is quite reminiscent of Morrissey, IMO) and current indie...

    Like the new tunes, which is not surprising, as I've been a fan since the first White Stripes album. Funny thing is those were played in reverse order on the show, i.e., the "2nd" song was played first on the show. Jack White also had 2 brief but funny turns on the show, including playing the...

    RIP CALRU66

    The man was a gem. We shared a lot of the same interests and communicated occasionally by email on mostly Rutgers topics, including a letter to McCormick to try to get him to reverse the unwarranted firing of Bob Mulcahy back in 2008, and it was a real gut punch when he died so young.
