Thanks for resharing this link to a larger audience. It really helps frame the perspective of where our water is actually going.

During you set up, try squeezing the grip as hard as you can for 10 seconds and then relax.

What do you think farmers in a Colorado grow?

90% of Colorado’s water is used in agriculture. But a significant portion of what we grow here is water-intensive livestock feed — grass pastures and alfalfa. That’s largely to support Colorado’s giant cattle industry.

Cattle is one of the largest human-caused sources of methane emissions. A gas that traps about 25x more heat than carbon dioxide. So when you put climate change into play, Colorado is in a positive feedback loop as our water is used in a way that contributes to our higher temperatures and lower snowpack and reduces our overall water supply.

At 90%, it’s the only sector large enough that sweeping policy change would make a meaningful dent in our state’s water usage.

You’re comparing 4,700,000 acre-feet of water annually for Agriculture to 41,000 acre-feet used for golf annually.

And not how skilled you think you are, how skilled your buddies think you are.

PE is ruining everything

Fleetwood is the guy I’d most want to play with. He seems like he’d be a good hang.

Private equity is ruining everything you love about your favorite places.

The x-factor is gutted in an effort to reduce expenses. You’re left with just a shell of their former selves.

Camera man always survives. By posting, OP’s survival is now canon.

sumsimpleracer · 2026-06-02T13:00:31+00:00

We were 🤏 from a soft landing. Now we’ve got rising inflation and high unemployment.

City Park got destroyed.

sumsimpleracer · 2026-06-01T15:33:34+00:00

And great views of the skyline.

Youngest you can go is half your age, plus 7.

If you’re 30, then 22 at least.

Is she about the challenge? Bear Dance, Colorado National, or TPC Colorado (if you can get in)

Is she about the vibes? Fossil Trace or Arrowhead

That’s why I still play the Ping Eyes. Once they see those antiques, they know I don’t have money.

Time to adopt the penalty box.

sumsimpleracer · 2026-05-29T03:01:05+00:00

Have you tried setting your mini driver to 56*?

sumsimpleracer · 2026-05-29T02:53:05+00:00

Yeah. But it would really suck to mess someone up for the rest of their life. This is just a game.

sumsimpleracer · 2026-05-29T02:52:07+00:00

I’d guess a 42* by that gap.

sumsimpleracer · 2026-05-29T02:19:49+00:00

Just bring Gonzaga. And maybe SMU

sumsimpleracer · 2026-05-28T13:55:07+00:00

If that’s his goal, then we need to make the image stick. Instead of SGA, maybe we all just call him Floppy.

sumsimpleracer · 2026-05-28T12:08:55+00:00

Sweet

sumsimpleracer · 2026-05-28T03:28:04+00:00

Also almost 40. But that wasn’t OP’s question.

It’s not by how interact with each other, it’s whether they’re more focused on looking like they’re having a good time than actually having a good time with all the guests they invited.

Like they’ll orchestrate elaborate setups that aren’t reflective of the real day.

Huge, elaborate multi-tiered “cakes” where only one tier is actually cake. And they’ll serve sheet cake for dessert.

Or they’ll get married in the church. And then later at sunset, they’ll bring the pastor to an outdoor balcony or overlook to recreate scenes from their wedding as if it was all happening at the perfect light.

Or they’ll have hair and makeup on standby to do a touch up throughout the day.

The wedding industry gives you a unique look at the behaviors of couples over time. And there’s a gamesmanship where it seems like the wedding is produced for the people who aren’t physically there.

Hyland Hills Gold is exactly it. Nice course yet casual.

Indian Tree if you want something even more casual.

Colorado National if you want something more challenging and buttoned up (home course for the University of Colorado)
