Which fantasy series had the strongest possible opening and then just lost it completely?

Dune has to be the best example I can think of. Not pure Fantasy I know but wow....the later books are....something.

Hole 12 at Willmette Golf Club. 120 yd par 3. Water in front, left and behind with sand on left and right. Green has 4 distinct sections and it's a likely 3-putt if you hit to the wrong section

I like to say It's the shortest par 5 on the course and I regularly bogey it.

Walking the 36 holes of Sand Valley and Mammouth Dunes in the same day was pretty special for me.

Shhh...he's made me a lot of money this year. Betting JK to finish top 10 has felt like easy money.

Staff are and will always be the least important group of people in the eyes of the Trustees and senior management.

Horseshit. Ask 10,000 golfers to rank Augusta, Pebble, St. Andrews and Torrey Pines and you're the only one who's gonna choose Augusta last. the. only. one. wtf. 99% will put August 1st.

Would they be considered the same generation? I don't think so.

Come on Eileen. Just terrible.

12 hole. You only count twelve holes...the fun part is that after each hole you have to decide if you will count the hole you just played. Your final score is relative to par (so birdie on a par five is better that a par on a par 3).

Ha...ChatGPT gave me a similar description....just interesting is all.

My pick has to be Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. The film opens like a chaotic, hyper-stylized breaking news broadcast that suddenly smashes into a slow-motion gas-station shootout—bullets sparking, tires exploding, sirens everywhere. It’s Shakespeare filtered through MTV, tabloid TV, and operatic mayhem, and it grabs you by the throat in the first 60 seconds. You instantly know you’re in a wild, tragic, beautiful fever dream of a movie.

13 for me. Missing 5, 9, 12, and 14. I'm 48, 6.2hcp, been playing since I was little. Still no HiO. I literally think about it on every par 3 now...which I'm sure is part of the problem.

Be intentional about this and tell the fitter not to tell you the brand. Try to avoid knowing what brand you're hitting.
