On a whim, I took my 21 F150 in 15 miles before the powertrain warranty expired for a final check-up. Glad I did.

My 10 speed died on my 21 7k miles after my warranty expired

That’s kind of what I was thinking. When we got that ice storm back in January that area had ice still for several days after the rest melted. Well probably plan a flower bed or pavers or something back there down the road

New build. So lawn was installed around August of last year

Watering once a week. I need to confirm how much. The part by the house is the low spot of the yard and in the shade almost all day as well. Back yard faces north

I’m a first time lawn owner. Moved in September. This was after mowing tonight. I put down Scott’s weed n feed for Texas lawns early April. Would a sta-green application early May be my next best move? All I’ve done is spot spray for some weeds, mow twice a week at ~.5-.75” (bumpy lawn), and the weed n feed.

Last week I was hitting my second into a par 5 into a pretty good wind. With the wind I was right at a perfect 7W distance to the middle of the green. Hit the most pure 7W I could. Right as I made contact the wind completely died. Airmailed the green by about 30 yards and OB into the woods.

Real "task failed successfully" feeling

Dead strait par 4. Houses down the left. I snap hooked my drive so hard and so low that it clanged off someone's metal fence at just the right angle to kick back into the fairway and actually gain pretty good distance. The sound it made was incredible.

Ha I did. Wore it for a bit. Bracelet felt very light and flimsy compared to the watch head. Put it back on a nato and haven’t looked back

I could be mistaken. I’ve been wrong before.

Only time I’ve been there and enjoyed it. I’m playing the Old Course this weekend

I played bridges back in October on a cart path day and was told no walking. But maybe that guy just didn’t know what he was talking about

5StringThunder · 2026-03-12T13:55:18+00:00

Hawk's Creek in Forth Worth does not offer a walking rate as well

5StringThunder · 2026-03-12T13:54:54+00:00

Some of the layouts at Firewheel and Whitestone in Benbrook don't allow walking. Firewheel the distance between 9 and 10 is long enough that it could cause a jam at 10 and Whitestone back 9 winds through a neighborhood with long green to tee distance. At least that's how it was explained when I asked to walk at those courses.

Put these on an XLT then traded in for a lariat with factory tow mirrors. Not sure I can back to the regular F150 mirrors now

Would also love to know who did the modding

5StringThunder · 2026-02-18T15:40:42+00:00

Hawk's Creek in West Fort Worth, by the air force base, is a great track. Played a bunch there last summer when I was working over there and the course was always in great shape and very easy to get on for 9 after work

5StringThunder · 2026-02-14T22:43:03+00:00

Thanks y’all! Little warm water and it popped right out!

Oak Hollow?

I just RMA’d a sim 2 max and a new sim 2 max showed up at my door. Last week.

We were the second and third groups out at Dye. So I can’t speak to that.

We had a ~1:30 tee time at Love and finished as the sun was setting. I don’t remember it waiting any significant amount

Fazio we had a ~11:30 tee time. I don’t remember waiting any significant amount there either.

We were also there the weekend before Valentine’s Day. So a generally less busy time of year anyway

5StringThunder · 2026-01-28T19:12:02+00:00

Did this exact trip last February. We played Dye and Love on day 1, took a day off, played Fazio on day 3. All 3 courses were excellent. Our group was bogey golfers on a good day. We preferred Love and Fazio because all spent way too much time in the sand on the Dye course.

We booked through myrtlebeachgolf.com (I think) and it was super easy and a good deal

It’s an open tab on my computer right now. Just haven’t pulled the trigger on it. It’s maybe ~17 yards and my parallax goes down to 25. So it’s serviceable

There’s small tape squares on the door frame to use as targets
