@MattGinella been trying to get to Oceanside for years and will be visiting Christmas through New Years. Planning to try MGF (if it’s happening Dec 26 and if I can get a time) and wanted to check out Linksoul Lab but seems it’s closed down. Any insights?

@BLynch74 @GolfersJournal @travismhill Hope you’re right. Would be great to see them set up a First Tee facility down there. Or some offshoot of Tiger’s foundation focused on STEM, given his involvement with the project.

Looks like Velocity would suit me, after further exploration. I have to swap many of the jumps because I have a bad Achilles and speed squats are suggested and probably best. But couple days that would be redundant. Any advice there?

@Fit_For_Golf 7 weeks into the gym 3x/week for the first time but need FFG program advice (I’ve subscribed). Can’t even imagine swinging a club, been sore doing weights. Booked a Feb golf trip. How would you use the next 5 weeks to keep momentum/habit but still practice and play?

Who else had a fire alarm pulled during Wicked tonight? Happened TWICE to us tonight. Both showings - one in AMC Linden, another in Hazlet — were interrupted in the exact same scene.

@VSiNLive I know you can listen online but honestly once you left Sirius it broke the easy habit. And for years, the Fios simulcast on NESN has been broken and glitchy.

@VSiNLive @Bobnkasey2 @southpointlv Can’t believe I forgot to add @andrewssports who was so friendly and came out to talk and greet us last time out there.

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@VSiNLive @Bobnkasey2 @southpointlv What made VSIN special were the characters. Not only the hosts but the guys who always seemed to have unique perspective from the books. Jimmy, Vinny, etc.

@garrett_TFE Bogey was almost entirely absent from the last 2-3 hours, no matter where they were missing. It removed so much drama knowing wayward shots were just shrugged off time after time. Virtually zero risk-reward, no decision making. Just go after every pin. Not my cup of tea.

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@4golfonline @LouStagner I have trouble after a simulator or turf mat driving range session, hitting fat on grass. I think I lose my low point. Would this mat help if I just use it for full shots laid on top of a mat?

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@KylePorterCBS Gave LIV a first shot. Team element added a decent subplot, similar to college events we’ve gotten more exposure to the past few years. Great leaderboard. Liked the graphics a lot, despite a little learning curve. Overall, enjoyed the broadcast refresh.

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@MikePalmReaders @Bill80 Just flipped on. Great news!

@MarkASimonSays Something that sparks excitement for a kid who loves playing the game, but hasn’t ever got into the pro game.

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@MarkASimonSays When I was a kid, I must’ve read “The Year I Owned the Yankees” a dozen times. It was fiction/fantasy, but adjacent to reality (real baseball names, etc). Anything modern like that for my 11 year old?

@Mike_kim714 @ukgolfguy Playing @NorthBerwick_GC has made so many other golf courses enjoyable, because I got to see the roots of their design at the source.

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@LouStagner Looks a lot like Old Orchard 10. Except there you could try to cut the corner of the 90* dogleg and have a wedge into a par 5.

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@ReillyRick The world feed needs help following a golf ball, then. Especially when the announcers are sitting in a closet calling shots off a tv feed. Why not rely on the on-course reporters at this point?

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@gfienberg17 @RickRunGood Do Ludwig Aberg and former QB Bobby Hebert ever hang out? Do they get together, maybe have a picnic?

[Ron Varrial @ronvarrial]

@LouStagner For all the graphics and bells and whistles they have, it couldn’t be more difficult to follow. At one point I wished they’d use different colored balls - mini golf style- so we know who is where as they bounce in and out of group coverage.
