  1. Heeding the advice of many on here, we have caddy’s booked for next weekend. Had one on the Ocean course and definitely helped a lot, especially putting. One putt I remember I literally would have aimed the total opposite way on my own. Followed the caddy’s advice & sank it ?

    The thing you don’t get about Augusta is the topography. I remember a par 4 where the approach shot was to a green 90’ above the ball. Like hitting to a green on top of a 9 story building. TV doesn’t fully convey that.


    #4 at that Seven Canyons was like that. Par 3 with a tee box that sits like 70 ft above the green. Had no clue what to hit, so hard to gauge the distance. Hit a 50 deg and went over. Up and down for par though!

    Friends went and played the Ocean course at Kiawah, but I had something else and passed. Regret that error. Shot an 82 at Harbour Town years ago where I used to live on the 10th green. Lucky day for me. VERY lucky. 

     

    Not a huge golfer, but walking Augusta National on a Thursday and having a beer on the Veranda at Pebble Beach were extremely memorable experiences. 


    Been trying to get tickets in the lottery for Augusta for years. No luck yet...

  4. Random, bored offseason topic. Scratching one off the bucket list in two weeks, heading to Pinehurst. Playing The Cradle and #8 on Saturday, then the big one #2 on Sunday. Haven’t swung a club since August & subsequent elbow surgery in September so I’m sure I’ll really rip it up. Anyone played there? How was it? 
     

    Haven’t played too many top courses but have played Seven Canyons in Arizona and have played the Ocean course at Kiawah, both of which were awesome. Actually had some good moments at both. What’s a couple on your golf bucket list?

  5. Nice work. It takes some time but in a few months you will feel so much better physically. I smoked a bit in high school and heavily in college. Quit in 2006 after a particularly epic bender going back to my college for homecoming. Lit one up on the drive home and it just tasted disgusting since I smashed off about 2+ packs the night before. A few days turned into a few weeks and just kept it going. For me, the daily stuff was easy it was the moment any alcohol hit my throat that was tough. That lasted for a while but then it got to the point where I couldn’t stand the smell of cig smoke. After years, I even knocked back a few cigs here and there but it still just grossed me out. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a cigar from time to time and I’ve unfortunately gotten in the habit of some occasional Juul puffs when I’m having a few cold ones but I don’t make it a regular occurrence. Everything in moderation! Good luck!

    The Sabres beat a cup contending team on the road with their goalie playing well. Find another freaking day to complain about their play! There are plenty of games where they are worthy of being criticized. Doing it after this game is ridiculous. 


    I can see the title now. “Beat a good team on the road on a random Saturday in February: The story of the 2019-2020 Buffalo Sabres”

     

    Too bad this one didn’t count for 10 pts, might only finish 6-8 out if that was the case.

    When the Sabres get solid to good goaltending they can compete with even the more talented teams. If I were to give out the stars for this game Hutton would receive the first star. I thought he played with a calmness even when there was a lot of action around him. Jack with his laser shot would also get a star. Collectively I thought our defensemen did an excellent job of getting on the puck and then moving the puck out of its zone. They also performed well in keeping track of their men when the opposition was hovering around our net.  

     

    Our forwards played a tight checking game.

     

    Hallelujah! Skinner scored on a nice tip in after taking an impressive pass from Johansson. 

     

    The Larsson-Girgs-Okposo line is a meat and potato line. Their style of play is not flashy. But it is a tough and grinding line, and also our most consistent line on. The individual players fit together to make a cohesive line. 

     

    Maulkin is a feisty player. 

     

    Under Krueger this team exhibits excellent stick work. 

     

    Jack is Great!

     

     


    Whatever you need to tell yourself! Got the “good Hutts” for the 1 of every 10 games. That & jumping out to an early lead will steal you a game here and there. We just got waxed by Ottawa and outside Jack, Risto and the 4th line they still suffer from long stretches of non effort & non physical play. This team is still riddled with soft players that most of the time crumble under any adversity. They’ll finish 10+ pts out of a playoff spot but progress right!? 

  8. I flew Frontier on the way out to Denver last week. Overall it was a good experience. Paid an extra $75 per seat for a checked bag, carryon, and the upfront “extra room” rows. That $75 also made the ticket fully refundable which was nice piece of mind when traveling with a 3 year old. I still like to fly Southwest whenever it makes sense because they’ve always been reliable, I usually take advantage of the free checked bags, and the great flexibility they have when haven’t to cancel / change. I’d certainly give Frontier another whirl if necessary though. Allegiant still scares me with the number of firsthand stories I’ve heard about cancelled / delayed flights. (Not to mention the maintenance)

    I know that and my phone autocorrects it to Burrows every time lol I don't like to keep deleting it 

     

    It's a message board  don't be the grammar guy .. pretend it's plural lol


    I can’t help myself it’s a sickness! I don’t mind grammar mistakes, hell I’m plenty guilty of that. But the getting a guys name wrong thing really grinds my gears for some reason. I’m glad I didn’t end up destroying my TV while we had “Ryan Fitzgerald”

  10. I just got back from the CBJ / TB game tonight. Man, it’s night and day watching two good teams play. Granted, we were on the glass so that probably skewed things a bit but my takeaway feeling was confirmed that we’re pretty far away. ??‍♂️

    Changing the GM/coach every 2-3 years is how the Bills went 17 years without a playoff berth.  Its not a recipe for success.  The Sabres need a more talented roster but they have some real building blocks in Eichel, Dahlin, Skinner etc. They need to add talent and depth.  Many of their youngish type players can become building blocks through internal improvement (Mittelstadt, Pilut, Olofsson etc.).  The team is very, very young and has a lot of room for growth.  I would certainly give Bots another year (at least) to see this through.


    I agree with the sentiment but I have zero confidence that this front office / coaching staff has what it takes to turn it around. Hope I’m wrong but just doesn’t feel like there’s anything to build upon. I say blow it up.
