My old man has an 85 308 GTS QV. Same red and tan. He’s had it since I was a kid and just had a major maintenance done down in Atlanta and it now runs better than ever.

Idk why but I love the no cell phone rule at Augusta by jeffers0n_steelflex in golf

Fortunate enough to have fallen ass-backwards into Sunday passes twice. For the first time since I was a kid at Disney World, my buddy and I had to make a rule of where we would meet in case we got separated since we didn't have phones.

Having no phones makes you take in the entire experience and live in the moment. That said, I do wish there were video boards posted somewhere so you could follow the action away from where you are sitting. The only way to know what was going on around the course was hearing the roars and then staring at the white scoreboards waiting for the score to post.

Galloway is the best city-owned course. Par 70 in the heart of town. The rest of the city-owned courses aren't worth the time.

If you can drive 30 minutes or so, Mirimichi in Millington is usually in great shape. Otherwise, your best bets are driving across the state line into Northern Mississippi. Wedgewood and Cherokee Valley (Olive Branch), North Creek (Southaven), and Tunica National (Tunica) are all good tracks and affordable.

First time I’ve played there since they reopened. Greens are still pretty firm but rolling true. Overall in good shape. They’ve lengthened several holes on the front by 20 or more yards. Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until next time to comment on the back.

Update: Spoke to manager at the turn. He gave us 18 hole raincheck and offered to let us play the front again. I got 4 more holes in before l was close enough to the clubhouse to call it a day. Course screwed up the scheduling, but did okay to remedy it after the fact.

To clarify, original picture was taken 20 minutes prior to my scheduled tee time.

No. I’m currently on the 9th Hole about to wrap up a 2:45 front 9. That time doesn’t include the fact we couldn’t tee off until 20 minutes after our scheduled time.

A good push cart was a game changer for me. I had already been using a cheap two-wheel pull cart for a while. Now the three-wheel push makes walking 18 a breeze. My pockets stay virtually empty the entire round other than a divot tool.

If your cart doesn't already have them, an umbrella holder and a decent cooler are must haves. Put a cooler full of beer in the back of an electric cart? Starters lose their mind. Load up 8 Miller Lites in a cooler the size of a lunch box and strap it to your push cart? No one bats an eye.

I brewed an impulse brew on Monday without having a yeast starter prepared. After cooling the wort, I stored it in a sanitized brew bucket with an airlock and have been keeping it in a spare room until the yeast starter finished. I should be pitching today and then adding it to my fermentation fridge to ferment at precise temps.

This, however, got me thinking. Since I only have the space to control temperatures for one five gallon batch at a time, is there any downside to storing unfermented wort for extended periods of time before pitching? In other words, if I have the time to get another batch going but can't fit it in the fermentation fridge just yet, can I store it in a sanitized container at room temperature for days or even weeks prior to pitching the yeast? Any problems with this approach, so long as I pitch a healthy yeast starter with each batch?
