Victory Saturdays

Catching up on some podcasts while flying home from Disney today: I was listening to this week's SZD tasting menu, and I audibly laughed when RJ dropped a 32/no kids/NIIF at the end of his FL/UGA preview.

Anyways, figured I'd start a thread for college football (even if I and other YTTV subscribers are having a rough time watching football today)!

Disney Golf

Headed to Disneyworld next week with the family. I have one day where I might be able to sneak in an early 9 holes. Is anything at Disney (would have to be on property or very close) worth cashing in spousal good will?

Everybody Gotta Eat

The shared human experience: food.

Any other chefs here? Foodies? Food Network binge-watchers?

Golf season is starting to wind down here in New England, which means my attention is turning to my other "sicko behavior" passions: cooking, wine, and the joy of hearing what others are eating.

With Boston about to get its first-ever Michelin guide, the bar has been raised all over town, and the menu options have me inspired. So I've got a couple of questions for you:

What is something you've eaten recently that surprised you?
What is your favorite restaurant in your area?
What is your favorite way to eat eggs?

Oh, Canada! 🍁

27, no kids, only interested in fighting folks who “don’t listen to music”.

Based on my experience in other golf forums, Canada usually has its own region, so we’ll cast a wide net to start out! :)

I’m in Toronto, near the epicenter of some of our nation’s best golf (St. George’s, Lambton, Weston, Islington, etc.). While our season is unwinding, would love to see my fellow Canucks get active here over the winter months (misery loves company).

While Canada is sometimes overlooked from an architectural standpoint, we have some of the highest golf participation rates anywhere in the world! Would highly recommend a trip up here, especially at current FX rates.

I'm talking with Lukas Michel within the next few days about golf in the Melbourne Sandbelt and life in Melbourne. Got any questions for him? I'm planning to chat with him about not only golf but also the practicalities of taking a trip to Melbourne. If there's anything you'd like to know about putting together a Sandbelt/Melbourne golf trip, ask away!

Amarillo, TX here. 42, 2 kids, no interest in fighting. Big region, but surely between Midland/Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo, we can round up a foursome or 2 on occasion!?!

Very exciting but it will be competing directly against Sand Valley, however, they could capture a big part of the market with lower pricing. With SV now at $325, if they could offer a similar product for $200 or less, that could be very successful.

This was fun to recollect. Even though Louis' shot was early in the round, it is still the one that comes to my mind first as among the most electrifying tournament golf shots I've seen on live T-V. That was a wonderful moment!!!

Once again, great writing by KVV. Thanks for putting that into words. I too have a set of blades that I only pull out if playing by myself. Honestly, I think my scores don't really change much, and like you said, its such a great feeling when you strike it in the center.

Kemper does a great job operating the Portland munis, but we could definitely use help, especially on the fundraising and nonprofit organizing side. Our properties have a LOT of deferred maintenance to catch up on.

NLT executive director Damian Cosby used to run the Cleveland Metroparks golf division, so it would make sense from that perspective. Sleepy Hollow and Manakiki are among the highest-potential munis in the country. I just don't know if Metroparks is looking for a partner. They have a pretty robust homegrown operation.

How Would You Renovate These Holes

Jan 22

So, I've sketched out the hole to start thinking about a different design without moving too much stuff around. I have no idea what the contours are so I'm assuming it's just flat. My general thoughts are as follows: 1. It's quite clear that the holes have functionally been designed to keep players away from the roadways. This severely limits what is available to do. 2. The driving distances to interacting with the fairway hazards are nearly identical from the back tees. This is fine, but not super interesting and will advantage players that deviate from this driving distance. Par 5 thoughts: There is no functional reason to interact with the fairway bunker. Because the hole is not reachable in two, the play is clearly to lay up short or bail out long-right, and both plays end up with a nearly identical approach. If we want to reward interacting with the bunker, we first need to make the bailout right much more risky. The obvious way to do this is to add bunkering in the landing zone -- which may be fine if we're trying to actively discourage this -- but to me, the more interesting way to approach that is by adding features to the second landing zone. Par 4 thoughts: The par four is fine. The strategic architecture is perfectly serviceable. I wouldn't say I love it, but it's there. Play to the fairway bunker to have a better angle at the green. I'll think about a redesign, but for now my simple (unserious) solution, which will improve almost every golf hole, is to add a stone wall as crossing hazard (also rough surrounding bunkers is for weenies). Here is my wall-based solution: https://i.imgur.com/oZe1BLN.png

Best Cities For Nlt

Jan 22

I think the two cities closest to my heart would be great partners with the NLT: Cleveland, OH and Portland, OR. Both cities have good existing organizations operating their golf courses but could take them to the next level with the expertise of NLT. And the courses that both cities operate have a lot of history and high ceilings.
