Cubs Baseball, Husker Football, & Golf. So I’m a big fan of frustrations.

@KendallRogers Question: how is the home team established during regional games? OU had last AB the final 2 games.

@EliteGolfDad Those tight draws play just fine at FGC. 😉

Spirit airlines is now planning to shut down after a failed rescue for the company

As reminder, JetBlue offered to buy the company for almost $4B a few years ago

The DoJ blocked the M&A deal, claiming that it would take out the low cost airline operator from the market and hurt consumers

Incredible work from our own regulators. They destroyed value for shareholders, and now the low cost operator will be leaving the market anyway

It was a Friday night in October when I received an email with the subject line…

“Custom Golf Bag | Sammy Spieth”

I remember it vividly. We had a horrible day in sales and I was a little down in the dumps.

But I told my wife that this could be huge.

We spent months working and finalizing the design. Below are some of the early drawings ⬇️

After getting the bags finished, I knew these could be really special.

I had no clue if the bags were going to show up to the Par 3 course yesterday. Honestly, I was nervous.

But after seeing Jordan’s wife with the bag in her hand, I had such a sense of relief.

We made it.

Yesterday will be a day that we will always look back on in the history of Charlie Golf.

Really, really cool stuff. A legit pinch me moment.

@engineeringolf I thought this gentleman had a good explanation

[Josh Bennett @JishSwish]

82% of you got this wrong:

For starters: the hole rankings are based on what holes have the highest scoring differential between a low handicap golfer (0-8ish) and a high handicap golfer (15-20ish). So the "hardest" actual hole is usually not the #1 handicap hole off the bat because it's hard for both good and bad players, same as the "easiest" hole.

After that's determined, the rankings will be adjusted for various reasons to best make *match play* most fair. They don't want all the lowest numbers all attached to the end of the round for example, that would be deemed unfair to the person getting strokes since a match may have concluded before the player got to use some of the strokes they should get. There are other adjustments made as well, including just arbitrarily assigning odd numbered holes to the front and even numbered holes to the back- again trying to spread it out as much as possible.

Hole hcp ranking has everything to do with trying to make a match between good players and bad players fair and very little to do with the *actual* difficulty of the hole

@tweeth_mitchell It’s almost as if….

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@acaseofthegolf1 @BahamasKFTour Zero Lost Balls. Let’s have a day.

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@EliteGolfDad Was this some sort of email update? I am scrolling their site now and nothing new, yet.

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@Top100Rick @KylePorterNS Hatton was a bigger shock to me.

[BronxBmbrz @BronxBmbrz]

Dodger fans telling everyone how bad they have it

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@HuskerMike28 Oof

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@mitchsherman It’s just bad north of St Joe. For one bridge

Rest of the way wasn’t terrible for me at least

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@EliteGolfDad Next weekend, get those morning times!

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@EliteGolfDad I have the same problem.

Soak in a bucket with oxyclean & baking soda.

Rinse off, dry on a hat rack. Good as new.

[Chris Emma @CEmma670]

Theo Epstein often preached never to take a championship chance for granted. It sure feels like Jed Hoyer has done that. The Cubs have seemed way too comfortable just getting into the postseason. It's hard to buy their pitch of a "sustainable" future when the present is shaky.

@NickDrendel @luck221705 @ArcainiLuke @RedSox All so they could give Joc $2M more…

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@EliteGolfDad Woah, this would’ve made sense after last weekend but not the dope weather we had the end of this week!

How are we feeling?

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@TheWARmonger_ I wonder if any Cardinals fans saw this catch.

[RunTheBallGuy @sautt]

@bogeybarn @GolfDigest I was bored this week & redid the math myself for my league rounds.

I’m a 15.1 & id be a 14.8 if I had combined scores which also featured an 8 differential. It certainly prevents downward movement but I’m not as convinced as the system being as flawed as I once thought.
