Yes! He is also Murray from Stranger Things. No one can accuse him of being typecast.

I think the Hangover itself is still hilarious and has aged well…I just prefer to ignore the fact the sequels exist. Just rewatched it earlier this summer and it’s still funny as hell. The first time you’re so focused on the plot twists, but there’s so many little moments that kill me. Like the end of Stu’s song:

Another advantage of Carne is that you can wake up looking at this on your wall [Disclaimer: Just a costumer. Don’t know them but I wish I did, because what they create is awesome]

PS The fact that they included the Kilmore back when they made it is all sorts of great. Also, Kilmore #5 looks so good on the print!

PPS “in your wall”? “on your wall”?

Much better list, but how has no one mentioned Mel Brooks? Spaceballs, HOTW Part 1, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood Men in Tights…

Can I ask a follow up? On innovate Jax, you mention that Jax beach is now profitable at $25 walking rate.

So what’s the difference between sweetens and Jax beach? Tax situation? Year round play? Is there really no hope for low cost European style country club model or just really really need a specific set of circumstances to make it work

I’m wading into territory I shouldn’t be in. But I think the first big difference here is likely the fact that the city owns the land. Which is not the case at Sweetens. And land is expensive. This is why Tron’s “It’s the muni’s, stupid” back page in the Golfer’s Journal makes so much sense. Governments providing these spaces for the community makes better sense for everyone involved IF they get the particulars right.

Sweetens also seems tougher to maintain than Jax Beach does. Even 9 vs 18. It sits on a flood plain needs to play a particular level of firm.

Also, Jax Beach did 60,000 rounds this year. No idea what Sweetens does. Maybe a third of that?

Sweetens fascinated me, one of the most fun places but difficult to have steady traffic with such a high percentage of out of town players. with lodging, distillery, and general hangout areas being built I wonder if it becomes a pseudo bachelor party location. Minor league baseball down the road, tons of alcohol, chik-fil- a nearby, golf, etc.

Would love to see municipalities steer into the sweetens model of golf, fun, exciting, playable, walkable.

Exactly. But need to understand what makes jax work and what makes it hard for most courses to break even.

Oversupply of golf courses, unplayability, obsessed with conditions all hurt. If there were less but better courses there would be less issues in my opinion

Agree that some must die so others can live but not sure that would offer lower cost opportunities. Just not sure that the increase in rounds at surviving courses is enough to offer lower prices.

I know ay my club there is always a mild concern about assessments and the club has been in existence for decades. Just maintenance and occasional improvements plus insurance and salaries seem to make for a relatively high monthly nut.

Was thinking about privately owned open to public courses, memberships are a different beast imo
