Plush and green is nice but I like a course that allows you to be creative. If a course allows ten people to approach the same shot ten different ways with similar success then I'm a fan
Best round was at Bluebonnet earlier this year. Got out of the car and went straight to the tee. On 1 I took a divot with my driver, topped the second from the fairway, then pitched in for eagle from 50 yards. -2 after 1 and +2 after 3. That trend continued until my hole in one on 17.
I'm ready for the tour.
Iron update: Got the t7 PW- matched my gap and sand wedges and got a little bit better spin number. Got the mp-18 SC 5-7 to go above the MB 8 & 9 went with the MMC 4 iron. Launched just a wee bit higher for me. Second pic attempts to show the progression of offset, head length, and top line between the 4 different models. Pretty damn seamless. Well done, Mizuno.

As a Denius Normandy scholar I got a chance to meet the man in France and talk to him about his service. Incredible. A better person than I will ever be.
I would argue he hasnt been right since The Masters 2016. He struggled and wasn't bright enough to play it safe. #12 was the last straw. Yes he won the Open last year, but his poor tournaments in that time span have outweighed his good ones
I talked to one of the techs before the show- he said they had 25 guitars between Jeff and Billy. James had his own on the other side of the stage. BC played a few of his signature Reverends for the early pumpkins material, his blue '74 strat and a black 70's strat for a lot of the siamese dream and mellon collie gear, an ES-335 for Tonight Tonight, and a Firebird for The Everlasting Gaze.
Guitar and drum pr0n:
A few photos. Being that close was almost a bad thing. All 3 guitars and bass are either being run into an iso cab or through a speaker emulator- there is zero amplified sound coming from the stage so I could hear the dry vocals and clanks of their pics hitting the strings.

Chamberlin is my favorite drummer of all time. I was there as well in the front row and I highly recommend anyone see this tour if you can. BC was in an incredible mood and I think truly appreciated playing for everyone in attendance. If you're a fan of the band at all I think this show is a continuation of the Machina story he attempted to tell in 2000 but was cut off by the record label.
I would say FEC was about 70% full not counting the 6 sections they had tarped off upstairs. There was a LOT more singing from the audience than I expected.
Im giving the 8 and 9 a whirl- got the t7 PW to match the rest of the wedges in my bag. 5, 6, 7 mp-18 SC's are coming next. These heads are definitely small
