Life has been really insane lately and I had no idea a Strapped was released. I almost stood up and applauded when Explosions In the Sky fired up and the radio hit kicked in.

I did.
Same, not worth the risk, but 99% chance it’s a marketing scheme…
Winner. Links to a boudoir photographer’s website.

With the extra budget, that should have been their gift to the C suite

I tend to avoid Peoria because it reminds me of Covid, but it’s great.
Phegs and Big Guy’s hybrid chip ins. It’s a real treat.

“How was your flight?”

Makes me laugh more than it should.

I get that people are going to rank the seasons, but I enjoyed Tallahassee a ton. The weather is probably playing into people’s rankings, but damn if Cameron Riley’s swing doesn’t make up for the weather related shortcomings.

The first ten minutes of South Carolina episode 3 might be the greatest ten minutes of content ever. Those ten minutes make it #1

I dunno if this is Strapped or Strapped adjacent with the Brothers Schuster, but after the personal golf spotlights and the muni special pod… we need to see @MerchCzar maneuver around the Atlanta public scene.
Bobby Jones both directions, Candler Park one club club, some of the intrigue they have down south at Browns Mill and the Tup Holmes renovation.
Maybe mano a mano with Peg re: the old age claims? Seems like a content bonanza.

Bobby Jones isn’t much of a strapped course anymore. $60 for 9 holes? Have them play chastain, candler park, and browns mill.

It was $60 for 9 on a weekday in 2018 when I lived a couple miles down Northside Drive while attending grad school at GT. At that time the course was half built, the pro shop was in a trailer, and there was a city sewage line project in the middle of a fairway that was completely dug up and surrounded by fencing that extended all the way into the woods on either side of the hole. So you’d have to drive your tee shot straight into their fence that was 80-120 yards in front of the tee, pick up your ball, and then go drop on the other side.
By the time I graduated it was over $150 for 9 on a weekend and closer to $90 on a weekday, and something like $30 for putt-putt on their “Himalayas course” (no, you could not just walk up to the fun looking practice green and putt your own ball. Tried that when it opened and the mini golf marshal told me to go inside and pay. Wish they’d have been marshalling the actual course since every fourth group seems to play in the wrong direction and the pace would average 2-3 hours for 9 on weekends).
Totally inaccessible for anyone who didn’t have a multi-million dollar house in the surrounding neighborhood. They might as well have just made it private. So I spent a lot more time hitting balls at a nearby TopGolf on Tuesday mornings when bays were half-priced per hour.
