I don't mind Eminem, although this isn't his best, but I just don't think it works as a show theme.

Firstly it lacks energy, but second and mostly when use at the start of the show when they're doing all the annoying intros, you've got the commentators talking over the top of someone talking, basically

Gaza to kick things off…and something was not right. The sound just seemed flat somehow. After Gaza finished H mentioned something about Pete having problems with his box. The sound just felt out of balance until about 3/4 through the gig when halfway through a song Pete’s bass went dead for a few seconds and then came back (a guitar tech was buzzing about so presumably something was unplugged and swapped out. The difference was instant. Pete’s bass suddenly had depth and actual BASS!

Still an awesome gig and a great evening from the band, with a bunch of tracks I’ve never heard live before…but what’s up not finishing a gig in Cambridge with Garden Party?!? I think that’s that’s a first for me :-)

Great band, great crowd, I enjoyed the support band too…just a shame about the tech issues with Pete

My regular course currently has very inconsistent bunkers. Two are currently GUR, and of the others, some have a decent amount of sand, some have a few mm…and the worst ones have a mix of that.

The ones without much sand you basically chip out of, the deep ones you can play a proper splash bunker shot. It’s the inconsistent ones that are the problem. I can shuffle my feet into an inch of sand, try and play a splash shot and have the club bounce of a hard pack a few mil under the ball and thin it through the green.

How close am I allowed to stand to the ball, but not directly behind or in front to avoid being accused of improving my lie, to try and get an idea of the sand depth without actually testing it?

Edit: I guess the point being here, I don’t mind playing a difficult course, but object to an unfair one

It’s a fun detective show, but other than a load of drone shots it seems to use hardly any actual footage or locations from Cambridge.

The police station is…somewhere and then in the latest ep I’m watching, the actual Police station is labeled as the Council Offices

It’s just irritating my brain :-D

On the show it’s been talked about how Ping and Owens have history. THe YT vids have been gushing about how this could be a feud for the ages if they’re allowed the proper promos freedom…but I missed a ton of WWE in the 2010’s. Clue me in on what went on, what the beef/issues between them is. A link to YT or a web page, or just a paragraph or two?

Given what happened at night one of Summerslam, and his seeming abandonment of The Vision, what’s next for the on-screen Paul Heyman character?

I can’t see him going back to Punk, and Punk doesn’t need him unless he turns heel, and even though Brock passed the torch to Oba, I don’t see Oba needing him either.

I’d really like to see Bron wreck Theory and Logan and have Heyman show up, nod and say “about time” or something similar and take him back under his wing. Maybe this could coincide with the return of Bronson Reed…Manager talent and bodyguard, obviously leading to the Shawn/Diesel type feud down the line and Heyman double crossing Bron.

Played 9 holes this morning as normal, but as the course was fairly quiet I also tried stage one of Operation 36: https://www.reddit.com/r/BobDoesSports/s/A6FqAUUvPE

In short, drop a ball 25yrds from the pin over 9 holes, try to break 36 shots total. I managed 24 today.

Once you break 36, move back to 50yrds and try again, and repeat.

I guess it’s designed as a way to get new players into the game, but it was a really interesting short game practice session. On some holes 25yrds might be a 50/50 fairway/green split, but on one hole I was almost putting from there. On two others the flag was right at the front of the green so I’m basically short sided and playing a bump-n-run to try and trickle onto the green.

Think I’m going to have to film it for my YT channel…and I’m looking forward to seeing how far back I can get before I fail to break 36 on the first go :-)

I live in Cambridge. I was lucky enough to manage to order one of the Bomber One Irons last week. I got a shipping notification last night and it says it’s being shipped from Cambridge, to Cambridge?!? Right now it’s at the DHL hub in Huntingdon just down the road…I could have gone and collected it?!?

Edit: looks like it was a tracking glitch. The shipping label on the box when it arrived said it came from Ipswich

Pretty busy already, but people are flowing nicely in and out of the 9th green and first tee grandstand’s.

No real wind to speak of atm, and a few people are trying to cut the corner on the first already.

Gonna chill in the first tee grandstand and wait for Rory’s round to start ;-)

My spare Sunday ticket has been on the official resale site for a couple of weeks and hasn’t sold yet…which I’m kinda surprised about.

Anyone need one?

Edit: Sold!

TM have just dropped a new shadow, I guess, version of their UDI Bomber iron on the US site. Anyone got any idea how long after that they typically release to the UK store?

Just wondering if they did the same with the R7 quad mini driver for example?

While playing in a Swindle yesterday, one of my playing partners remarked that using my pitch mark repair tool as a ball marker would be a penalty…if we were playing seriously.

To clarify. When marking my ball to clean or adjust the line, I stab my pitch mark repair tool into the ground behind the ball. If it’s near someone’s line or likely to be in the way if they overshoot, I use the more traditional flat magnetic marker in the tool.

Their reasoning, as they were apparently told, was that I could be considered to be “testing the green”.

I’ve seen mixed messages about cleaning your ball by wiping it on the green could be considered testing, but I can’t find anything in the rules about my use it the pitch mark repair tool.

Anyone know either way?
