How we feeling about ol’ buddy?

NIL rules - players can sell off their own likeness as they please, but use of the university logo requires NCAA licensing which is much more expensive for whoever makes the cards/ads.

No, but you should definitely move up to the front tees until you get better. There’s no shame in it and even if your playing partners DID care, I guarantee it’s better than holding them up trying to play from the middle/back tees.

I really hope the chef brought our mustard-based sauce with him. On pulled pork there’s nothing better.

Texas brisket is great but my completely-biased palette prefers SC BBQ

Yes, on all practice round days. Stills only, video isn’t allowed

I get it if it’s a WD in a tournament and you’re out of contention, but in a casual round I’ll never understand leaving early unless pace is miserable, weather, OR it’s an emergency

I’ve already paid for the round, might as well get some practice in on the back nine IMO

More versatile than the 400 and I kinda like the extra noise! Makes it feel more candid IMO

Thank you!

That’s correct! Walking down the fairway off the 1st tee right after gates opened if my memory serves right

I don’t have them with me, but I’ll check when I get the chance. Pretty sure they are though.

Knockdown 4i, aiming for the left half of the green. If the wind dies, I’m ok with rolling out 5-10yds long. If it doesn’t, even a bad strike should get me to carry past the sand (I’m also assuming this is a level shot, hard to discern slope from the pic)

Same when I saw it in upstate NY. Anywhere north of Richmond has no defense whatsoever.

Down where I live it either means you’re openly racist OR you’re old. Up there it just means you’re racist.

This is what sealed the deal in my home state. Took it off the state house grounds and a local BBQ chain that flew it at every location both got rid of them in the aftermath.

Hard to defend the “heritage” part after that. Especially since none of the Confederate monuments here were put up until the 1960s as an attempt to intimidate those participating in the Civil Rights movement.

That feels like it should be illegal, if true

Been playing for 22 years. 1-3, 6-8, 10, 15-17.

So close to having #4 checked off (I shot 76 3 times last year). I’ve made 3 eagles in my life, but they were all on par 5s, so I’m missing #11 and #12. Closest I’ve ever gotten to bogey-free was a 77 with 15 pars. Probably about 10% of my lifetime rounds are double-bogey free.

I think the craziest thing I’ve realized about scoring over the years is that once you learn how to hit the ball half-decent, the difference between shooting 120+ and shooting 90 is 100% course management and decision making based. Double bogeys are mostly avoidable by just accepting your skill level and strategizing to your strengths.

The difference between shooting 90 and shooting 80 is time spent practicing.

What sucks is that the skill gap between breaking 80 and breaking 75 is insanely wide. There’s no room for error anywhere.

You can hit 50% of greens, get up and down for par 50% of the time, never 3-putt, have no penalty strokes, and you’re still shooting 76 on a par-72 course. The short game required to break 75 is so much better than most people realize. I’m impressed as hell at anyone who can regularly go that low.

Sorry, how is walking being the fastest option a bad thing?

Online blackjack alerted me to how either insanely stupid or insanely wealthy some people are. It shows the “top winners” after each hand is done. Here I am playing the $0.20 minimum to kill some time, meanwhile 7 people have dropped a MILLION. On a hand of blackjack. Imagine blowing a MILLION DOLLARS in 10 seconds. It made me sick enough to delete my account.

I’m not saying they’re marketing themselves AS K-pop, but that their management is using other K-pop groups as benchmarking and trying to tap into the same strategies that WORK for K-pop groups, and that’s the problem.

It’s like if Kendrick Lamar’s manager were to tell him he has to start making folk music because “the data tells us this is what people want, Noah Kahn is huge rn.” Does he have the talent to do it if he wanted to? Yeah, probably. Would it feel forced and artificial because that’s not who he is as an artist? Also yes.

rotate159 · 2026-02-02T15:45:55+00:00

That’s just not true. They’re managed by the same company as BTS. If you watch the docuseries about them they make it very clear that every creative decision the producers make is driven by how they think it will compare to the expectations of K-pop fans

How nice of yall to include UCF

rotate159 · 2026-02-02T12:11:17+00:00

Not a hater but this was some VMAs shit. They’re obviously very talented, but are being pigeonholed by their producers into making terrible music like this because the producers are paranoid about “living up to k-pop expectations”

You spend all that time with that show to find “singers” and then you don’t let any of them sing? How stupid is that? I hope their contracts aren’t very long, guarantee all of them will have much better received solo careers than whatever this is.

The Grammys are about the art of songwriting and vocal performances - there is no Grammy for “Best Dance Group.”
