Anyone watching Hawk with Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon, and Fortune Feamster on Netflix? I so want to like it, but it's just not funny.

Na,
Something else caught my attention. Watch the caboose vibrate after the swing.
have to go 'full screen' to feel the effect.

Bryson content. VERY cool Mackenzie course. Wow, that would be fun to play.

Thanks for posting that. Watched the entire thing. I'm definitely gonna tell my friends about this course. We have Pebble set for next July (I've always wanted to play there), but the number and size of the redwood trees at this course suggests that it will be a more than worthwhile experience.

I played at Cypress Point and LACC.

How in the hell did you get on Cypress Point?!! My guess is that you know a member, but the membership there is strictly capped at 250 worldwide, and only 75 or so are Monterey locals. Good for you. Tell us about your experience playing No. 16 there.

My friend’s dad was a head pro in Philadelphia and he had a connection out there. I think it was a favor for a milestone anniversary. I remember hitting a 3 wood over the green and it needed up pretty much on the edge of the cliff in the ice plant on the back side of the green. Pretty sure I doubled it. I did birdie 15 and 18 and parred 17 though.

Dang. I’m not a golfer but I’m sure this was a thrill for you. Attaboy.

My golf course superintendent was well known and was able to get a foursome on at Cypress Point. However they were instructed to get on and play and don't hang out. LOL. They've played a ton of places and most had CP at #1.

This Good Good controversy is crazy over the poor taste commercial. I never heard of GG before, and likely won't hear of it again. Like what test audience thought it was a good idea to have a lady golfer shoved over ? I don't feel too bad for the company as it was a bad decision, but the employees losing jobs stinks.

PXG kicking some sand on them. Parsons not letting an opportunity go to waste.

YouTube golf content is huge right now and Good Good is probably one of the most popular. They are big with all the younger golfers I know and I see their hats and head covers all the time.

The problem with that commercial is that it was stupid and unfunny. But we’ve become a pearl clutching society so I guess they should have known better.

I went to see Rush on Friday night in Philly.

A friend of a friend said he swears he saw Alex Lifeson playing a round at Pine Valley on Sat. I did not believe home but then stumbled upon a Video from morning radio DJs Preston and Steve (WMMR) in which Preston said he played a round with Alex Lifeson on Sat.

Apparently Lifeson is not too bad. And neither is Preston 8 handicap)

Had to call my friend and apologize for not believing him.
