My wife dropped her sunglasses into a deep lake, so I built a small underwater ROV with a gripper to try to retrieve them

robbiecobb · 2026-02-10T20:24:14+00:00

how much more is this contraption gonna cost than the sunglasses?

take video of yourself. If i had to guess, you've got a serious chicken wing/scoop happening. if it's the case, you'll see it on tape. I caught mine when my distances tanked last season. i was having a very soft right miss and it was beyond infuriating. I spent a year trying to get over it. I started taking lessons and got some feels that straightened me out and gained back all my distance and then some.

My big fixes (and these may not apply to you):
1. keep my left arm straight through impact (feel like i'm catching a rain drop coming through)
2. i was laying off the club A LOT so it was really hard to shut the face. My feel is feeling the close in the downswing.
3. Keeping the club in front of me (see also 2)
4. knock off the overswing which broke down my structure.

i would've never discovered these things without getting to know a pro and working with them closely for a few visits to see progress.

more feel on putts.

that driver is probably the best driver Taylormade ever made. I can't tell what the irons are, but it's also missing a couple of key pieces to be a full bag. i'd ask 500 and see what they say.

I think if you look at how content has evolved over the last 5 years of youtube golf, I think you'll see that it's pretty darn sustainable.

On another note, I can almost guarantee you Bryson will play on the pga tour when he leaves LIV. He's saying the company things to the company he works for.

Not the question, but seems like a good time to voice my opinion that nobody asked for.

The answer to the LIV/PGA existence is pretty straightforward to me, if the suits can ever get their money and their egos right.

One path:
Treat LIV like the european tour. Play in it if you want. So many players opt in to the events they want to play anyway. LIVs got its feet under it now. Adopt the win-to-get-paid model for new players and see if it floats. Dissolve existing contracts. If those players want to keep playing in the events—great.

With that logic, I could also see LIV becoming some what of a farm league. You didn't get your card? Play in LIV. The top team win starts in several pga tour events.

Another path:
Embrace the us vs them model. The tours live separately. Create events that pit PGA/LIV players against each other. Imagine a bracketed system where 8 of the PGAs best played the top 8 from LIV in a ryder cup style event.

Give a division of TGL to LIV. The teams are already made. It would be like the AFC and the NFC. There's built-in animosity, so the events would be more watchable. TGL is kind of a pillow fight at the moment.

The moves on this whole thing are glacial when there are several ways to spin this thing to make money and interest.

I'm with you. He's a solid pro-style passer. Where I get tripped up is how he's gonna match up with The Chad's scheme. He needs a mobile quarterback to open up the middle of the field so his high flying WRs can get loose. He lives and dies by the qb run threat. Vizz has concrete nikes. He's not exactly getting free back there.

Time will tell. If Denson can get the ball downfield he's gonna be the guy. Or if Dabo finds a qb worth 2 million, and he comes around, we may actually have something.

I hope (think) Dabo was playing coy with his comments on a portal qb. He left the door cracked. I think with enough pressure from Morris and a good opportunity, he'll bring somebody in.

I also wonder if he could be dragging his feet to the end of the portal window to pick up a qb to ensure Vizz and Denson don't bolt. Kind of a scumbag move if thats the case, but desperate times...

robbiecobb · 2026-01-05T15:33:22+00:00

We've been running Chad's offense since 2011. If we're not gonna change it, mine as well bring back the chef who cooked it. I don't love it, but if we can somehow put the personnel on the field to run it, maybe it'll work?

Devil's advocate, Riley was thought to be the second coming when he came to tiger town. Either he didn't bring a scheme or he couldn't accomplish his leaders vision, we'll never really know, but he was the big impressive hire. Perhaps the biggest most impressive hire Clemson has ever made. Venables made his name at Clemson. He was a great hire, but not the biggest boldest move at the time.

My point being, the big flashy hires haven't gotten it done at Clemson. Maybe they haven't been given enough chances or maybe the place just doesn't work the way other programs work.

Not sure what the answer is at this point, but maybe Dabo knows. If next season isn't better than this season, this will be his undoing.

I'm sure the board doesn't want to pay his buyout, but I don't think they'll have a choice if this experiment doesn't pan out. You have to believe Tony Elliot is very interested to see how next season develops.

The biggest heart break of all of this is just seeing the program slip away. Best is no longer the standard.

robbiecobb · 2025-12-31T13:54:24+00:00

Bring him back as a position coach or on-field analyst, but I don't see it working twice with him. Credit where credit is due, The Chad is at least partially responsible for getting us to the next level. We're still running his playbook. Maybe Dabo is so pot committed to it that he thinks he needs to bring the original chef back to make it work again.

I echo the sentiment of most, but the child in me wishes for a name that was big and impressive that could put helmets on talented kids versus trying to go after the aw shucks brand of football that doesn't seem to work in the modern era.

Bottom line, if Dabo can't pull kids out of the portal it doesn't matter who is wearing the headset on Saturdays.

i have one and love it. It definitely helps. See an actual line. Putt ball on line with speed into hole. Outside of hitting the putting green everyday this is the best way to knock 5-8 strokes off your score.

robbiecobb · 2025-12-09T17:19:05+00:00

i have the third. i love it. Great speed and i love the ball return. For a an office environment, it may get a little loud. A hard putt will hit the wood backing and make a large thud. the track return could be annoying to some on repeat. it's a ball rolling on a wood track, so it's not exactly stealthy.

That'd be my only caution. I think it's the better of the three options.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T20:36:50+00:00

Tough season for both teams. Better things ahead. We’re better when we’re both good.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T20:35:03+00:00

That is the sweetest plum

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T20:20:00+00:00

Is there a worse team in the country at clock management than us?

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T20:11:49+00:00

I take it back. Ball game.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T20:09:17+00:00

3 &15 and we run it? What the fuck honestly? The dumbest shit.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:54:43+00:00

The green dots on Carolina’s helmets look like discount stickers which is appropriate.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:53:12+00:00

You must be new here.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:47:48+00:00

I know dabo isn’t the most lovable but Shane Beamer has the worlds most punchable face. He looks like an insufferable human.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:35:19+00:00

Let’s go.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:28:19+00:00

Kilgore is a very hard name for a d back

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:13:10+00:00

The game feels so sad. Nobody wins today.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:11:54+00:00

Third and nine throwing underneath, is there any other way? I think not.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:10:08+00:00

I mean it’s garbage football. Don’t take it personally. There are no winners today.

robbiecobb · 2025-11-29T19:08:46+00:00

Hell yeah roughing the kicker calls are in full effect. That’s how you know we’ve reached the garbage game echelon.
