I want the Box to know she's sitting next to me on the couch and this post was the first I heard of all this and that she posted it while her parents were in the room with us.

Ahem. Such is my life. ;)

* I had a stretch where I hit three pins in the span of six holes (3, 4, and 8). That's obviously the day I came closest (although not close) to par.

* I once drove a par 4 for my only eagle.

* Shot my best lowest round of 1999 at Colonial (no pressure when one expects to suck).

* Played what I thought was my best (compared to level of course challenge) round at TPC Summerlin.

That's a Two and a Half Men scene that should be shot...Charlie and Alan on laptops next to each other on the couch relaying important info without talking, while Jake and Berta are in one one side of the happenings and keeping quiet for fun.

OK, and? DEQM, my good man. You know you wanna be like fozz and shamelessly pad the MM total. You'd get a new line too, no?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I will be accompanied by my fiancee on this trip. I'm pretty sure she'd kill me for doing that routing when we're just going there for her bridal shower.

No new FM lines, but padding the MM total would be nice... These more direct fares are just annoying me.

Oh, before I forget: I found out tonight that I dislike pretzel cones. I like chocolate-covered pretzels, so I thought that I would like chocolate ice cream in a pretzel cone. The cone was saltier than a rimmed margarita - blech.

Pretzel rolls rock!

It's cheaper for me to fly PHL-IAH-SEA-IAH-DSM-IAH-SEA-IAH-PHL than it is for me to get from EWR to DSM on any carrier's "standard" routing.

You need two more connections each way.

I wonder if there's accepted math for elevation in golf as there is in baseball...I have read that a baseball will fly 7% further in the Rockies' stadium. Wonder if you get so many yards per 1,000 feet or something like that.

I don't have scientific data but I think there's a lot less wind resistance (but also less momentum) on the golf ball - some of my shots were just crushed.

That would be my rounds on my cruise in 2006. Mahogany Run in St. Thomas, and Royal St. Kitts. Had a few putrid holes in St. Thomas, but the round was completely redeemed by the aforementioned putt and a few other good shots. I came to the 17th tee at St. Kitts sitting on an 84 and went double snowman to walk off at 100 even. 13, 17 and 18 were my only bad holes on a day when I set a personal best of four consecutive pars. Low round career is at the course I linked for Plus1, Sea Oaks. Only been in double digits once and it was there: 98.

I could probably throw in GUM and SCL and still save money. :rolleyes:

The sad thing is my parents have left the room and we're still just tapping away, not speaking to each other :rolleyes:

Do that routing from the other post and go out/back a day ahead/behind.

That's hilarious. I heard about it the other day and had a problem keeping a straight face the rest of the day.

My mother has asked me to clean the gutters. Apparently such service is not in the condo association deal.

Have Fun! Too bad Tiger isn't playing, but it should be a blast.

I have enjoyed the Buick Open in Detoilet a couple times and had a blast. I may have an "in" here at Canterbury for the seniors this year.
