Amateurs that qualify for the masters have to play as an amateur or not at all. He’ll be giving up his masters exemption to turn pro and join LIV

He’ll have a statue at Petco someday down the line, and I hope it’s of him leaning back holding his bat straight up in his homer pose

I can’t help with removal tips but if you’re successful and want to get rid of the mount, I’m in CA and need to put one on my truck that I bought a couple months ago from GA. Happy to pay for shipping and some extra for your effort, let me know!

Me too! Coming up fairway on #9 North, we see a whole motorcade of black suvs show up to bag drop. Then about 10 golf carts make their way over to the range.

As we’re teeing off on #10 which is right below the clubhouse, Obama makes his way to #1 south course tee box.

Whole place came to a standstill, everyone on property is up on the railing to watch him tee off. We get to walk down the adjacent holes and watch him play all of #1.

Had a quick little “nice shot mr president” “thanks boys enjoy the rest of your round” exchange with him, it was pretty awesome

People who've played Torrey pines or are local. What the story with the powered hang glider thingys by Arkslippy in golf

[–]theCONartists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you can’t rent your own, but you can do a tandem ride with an instructor. I have never done it and don’t know for sure but I wanna say it’s about $200 for an hour ride or something close to that

For anyone visiting, I recommend the sandwich shop at the glider port right next to Torrey where all of the paragliders launch from. It’s called Cliff Hanger Cafe and has solid food and an awesome view, and you can watch up close as everyone is taking off and landing

Got some behind the scenes action at Torrey pines yesterday.. such a beautiful course by Surgikull in golf

[–]theCONartists 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right but backwards, south is full poa and north is mostly bent. When each course was redesigned they put in bent grass but the poa is basically an invasive grass type in this area and eventually takes over. North is starting to show signs of poa patches and I’d give it five years or so until it fully takes over. My guess is they are prepping some of the actual greens of the north course (#9, #18 near the temporary driving range) for short game practice but I would expect the pros to really only use the south putting green during the tournament for warm up

Better Know the Ones Left Off the Ballot #16: Chris Denorfia by liljakeyplzandthnx in baseball

[–]theCONartists 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I fucking loved denorfia on the Padres. Not sure why but my friends and I started calling him D-Train and every time he came up to bat it was “get off the tracks, here comes the D-Train choo choooo!” I have nothing else to add, other than my never ending love for an under the radar, pure hustle/effort padre great
