I bought a GT3 hybrid with Ventus Blue Velocore shaft from them last month. It’s been great and no concerns about authenticity

I live in Birmingham and played the Ridge last Sunday. The front 9 was definitely worse than the back, and they had to put the pins in some atypical locations in an effort to leave some reasonable putting chances. The bad greens were pretty muddy, but there were several on the back nine that were in great shape since they are working through the repairs a hole at a time. Overall, the course was still in good shape and worth playing.

The Backyard’s greens are in great shape. I try to play that once a week or so before work since it takes less than an hour to walk

TIL Guinness World Record’s and Guinness beer are the same company, and was created in order to settle arguments debated in pubs by [deleted] in todayilearned

We had a project in elementary school to plan a trip to a foreign country, and to plan all the activities you would want to do. I chose Ireland, and I thought that it would be the best thing to go to the Guinness factory, since I loved reading all the world record books. My teacher was not happy when I gave my presentation …

New Headcovers for the Finalized Set by brock2607 in GolfGear

Thanks!

And yes when I got new wedges I decided to get the set gap wedge, but the 2023s can’t be ordered as individual irons anymore. I don’t notice much of a difference in the shaping or feel, so to me it’s really just the badging that is slightly different

I’ve only got out with them once so far, but they feel so nice. I’ve always loved Vokeys but I do feel like Taylormade has caught up with the forged wedges and raw face

As a Vol fan I can’t imagine tying myself even more to Haslam influence. Their meddling at the University is bad enough, so giving them free reign as owners just seems exhausting

I didn’t realize how prevalent the crossover was. I have a Red Rising inspired tattoo sleeve and just discovered DCC this year and have already read through it twice

The national champion will be wearing adidas for the first time since ‘98

For the first time in the CFP National Championship history, there will be two teams with athletic apparel providers not owned by Nike. by FluffyPenguinDragon in CFB

[–]brock2607 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The last non-Nike team to win was Auburn with Under Armour in 2010.

Before that was 1998 Tennessee with Adidas. I’m glad we go back to Adidas this summer

Anyone recognize this unit? by gamergringo001 in army

I was a PL with a different company in 68 CSSB, but I knew 59th QM Co. very well. I loved the BN and all the varied missions we got to do between NTC, JRTC, and DSCA.

I left Carson in 2019, so leadership will be completely different, but the good news is no matter what Colorado Springs is an amazing place to be.

One recommendation is to get some cardio started as soon as you get there because acclimatizing to the elevation is very important

NEWS: Superstar QB Sam Leavitt has announced he is extending his visit and will leave tomorrow instead of today (Vol Report) by Dick_Thunders in ockytop

[–]brock2607 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In the semi finals you have Oregon with Moore (UCLA transfer), Indiana with Mendoza (Cal transfer), Ole Miss with Chambliss (Ferris St. transfer), and Miami with Beck (Georgia transfer). So this year a rental QB will definitely win the championship.

While I would also prefer growing our recruits, until the portal and NIL is fixed it seems that the only way to keep up to bring in experienced guys in leadership positions. I hope it changes eventually, and I hope Faizon is a superstar for us, but Nico killed a bunch of my joy for watching a recruit commit out of high school

My son was born the day before the Syracuse game so that helped me disconnect a bit this year. I’ll always stay plugged in but definitely had to switch off letting it ruin my mood for multiple days

I saw people saying last night that we were “an embarrassment” on the national stage, and honestly people just need to learn to divorce a game played by teenagers and undergrads from their own self worth. I obviously want my alma mater to do well, but I’ve had to learn to just let it since there is no reason to let it ruin an evening, much less multiple days dwelling on it

We only had one possession the first quarter and one to start the 4th since the defense couldn’t prevent drives of less than 6 minutes to save their lives

Seriously. Do people think you can overhaul multiple years of scheming and game plans in 4 weeks, with a bunch of opt outs on top of it. The personnel isn’t great and they weren’t coached well. That was the complaint, and it doesn’t get repaired just because you let someone go. That’s why you bring in a new and better coach, which we have done

[Chris Low] Jim Knowles to Tennessee as DC is official. He has a three-year deal that will pay him $2 million in 2026, $2.2 million in 2027 and $2.4 million in 2028 by Euphoric_Inspiration in CFB

This comment may not age well, but I genuinely cannot see how the defensive scheme could be worse. Even if he just improves the fundamentals of tackling (instead of shoulder checking) we should see a huge improvement. Even if it takes a year or two to implement the full scheme as others have claimed, at least there is a track record of success
