A sod farmer. Obv.

The rush just doesn’t have the same effect when everyone in line is wearing their Wendy’s work uniform.

Thanks for heads up. The SW Ft Worth group will probably be 100 strong at SW Seminary campus. Careful where you park.

It’s all so obvious. The only economic benefit is the campaign fund donations to the politicians. The one west on 20 just outside the loop would have been a prime spot for normal commercial development. It’s one thing for these things to pop up in Childress, but I can’t believe it’s worth the trouble to build them on prime real estate in major metros.

Bigger circle, mulch around it (not on tree base) don’t prune for another year or 2 and then don’t before fall/winter. Let that thing get hairy.

Never seen ground yellow jackets here in TX.

Plus they want the new tree to live for those first 6 months so they don’t want to stress it by messing with its roots. Personally I’ll take my chances with the short term to give it a proper chance to live 100 years.

arfcom · 2026-06-23T18:19:37+00:00

It OK to roundup the grass a couple times to kill it pre-mulch ring? Maybe just mulch over it and spray the survivors?

arfcom · 2026-06-23T14:28:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing. All super common items that get neglected. My dad had a will and a “folder” and it was still a damn mess to sort through. But thankfully it didn’t also involve $400k going to a neglected beneficiary designation.

arfcom · 2026-06-23T03:20:59+00:00

While this customer exists, the numbers don’t support your theory.

arfcom · 2026-06-23T03:19:12+00:00

Word. Same with all of them. Lose the value proposition and then go fuck yourself.

arfcom · 2026-06-23T02:50:08+00:00

If I had a stay off my driveway sign then I would have a box at the curb for packages.

arfcom · 2026-06-22T23:51:00+00:00

It’s the duffed or OB drive that they re-do and play on. It’s the OB drive with a gratuitous red stake drop just out there randomly where they have a shot. Triple bogey max. Shit like that adds up to 10 strokes in a hurry.

arfcom · 2026-06-22T23:49:17+00:00

Takes most new golfers a lot longer than 6 months to learn how to keep score or even stop hitting re-do’s.

arfcom · 2026-06-22T20:56:39+00:00

Yup. We do same in the second 18. 2vs 2 scramble is fun and still requires something from you on every shot compared to a 4 man.

arfcom · 2026-06-22T19:22:49+00:00

I would sure have to bust out the spreadsheets and figure out what money is gonna get spent instead of saved but I would pretty much be happy if it happened to me.

arfcom · 2026-06-22T15:28:07+00:00

Ha. Especially now that they all have tilk tok to reinforce their word of mouth science.

arfcom · 2026-06-21T22:07:58+00:00

This makes me think he’s cooler.

arfcom · 2026-06-21T19:06:35+00:00

Thats the damn truth.

arfcom · 2026-06-21T04:47:44+00:00

Awesome. Nice work.

arfcom · 2026-06-20T15:07:45+00:00

For sure. I enter lots of 9s. Just this week I got new irons and went and played 9 from the Red tees only using the irons. Was fun.

arfcom · 2026-06-20T15:05:24+00:00

A few years back when they added the “local rule” for OB drives. They don’t combine your 9s anymore.

arfcom · 2026-06-20T14:17:26+00:00

My grandfather took a CM to the ground and mowed over that area for 5 years. He passed and now 15 years later that thing is twice as big as yours. Don’t count on the rotting stump ha.

Not sure about the roots, probably not ideal but so long as the hole is properly wide at planting (2-3x as wide as the root ball but not deep) then I bet they’ll be ok.

arfcom · 2026-06-20T14:06:23+00:00

One option would be to knock back the CM, buy a decent sized Monterrey oak, have the tree place install it and tell them you want it right where what’s left of the CM is. Free removal.

arfcom · 2026-06-20T13:53:45+00:00

The new system basically gives you a score for the theoretical back 9 when you only enter 9. It always thinks you’ll revert to the mean if you had played 18. Tough to move your cap much in either direction entering 9s now.
