Ugh.
What yardage do you play from? I mean like, 7,000, 6,000, etc.

6300 for the tournament. I usually play from 6000 when I have a choice.

It's interesting how many courses are promoting shorter tees and mixed tee options in the 5500-6500 range.
I usually look for something in the 5800-6200 range if it's available or let the other players choose.
I've got no business playing from the tips, personally.
I've been in groups that played a longer tee box for nine holes and the next one down for the other nine when there wasn't a mixed option.
Where do you tee it up?

It might take me a whole day to play from the tips.

I play from about 5,500 to 5,800 yards. If I played from the tips, every par-4 would be a par-5. My friends and I really just play for the social aspect. We play a 3 or 4 man scramble, make a few birdies, usually break par that way, and hit the 19th hole to discuss "important issues." We're not serious golfers anymore.
Am I the only one who would pay money for an opportunity to punch Ryan “The Hacker” Green in the face? God he’s annoying.
Anyone else plan on going to some Jumbo Shrimp games this season? The wife and I purchased a couple of single game tickets behind the plate.. Looking forward to it.
Last time I've been, they were The Suns.
Former U of L coach Denny Crum has died. Even though they are primary rivals of Kentucky, I always had a lot of respect for Crum and how he eventually led the Cardinals to an NCAA championship.

Never envied him that name.

Louisville was my favorite team growing up and Milt Wagner was my fav player. Denny Crum had the Camden HS connection (New Jersey across the Philly border) which is where Wagner and Billy Thompson came out of. They definitely had some great players, including Darrell Griffith, the McCray brothers, and of course, Never Nervous Pervis Ellison.

Yes sir, those are some good names. Darrell Griffith was legend. Even Kentucky fans gave him respect.

I totally agree. Very catchy tune.
Wheelchair rugby is no joke. Watching UK/France match and it's crazy. They're almost all co-ed teams. France has one female that I can tell. UK looks to be an all male team. This match isn't as brutal as the U.S./Italy match but still....
