It is so inconsistent that if you have two balls, 2 feet from each other, equidistant from the cup, one line may roll true and the other may be bumpy, and the ball gets deflected off track.

The greens are supposed to be fescue, which is not an issue. The issue is that the original fescue greens got infested with the native poa annua grass, which seeds out very quickly, and at very short lengths. You can end up with little poa annua clusters, the have tiny little grass seeds on it, that can deflect the path of the ball. This was never the intention of the course designers, the greens were supposed to be all fescue. You can see on the couple greens that were reworked a few years ago, that the poa annua hasn't gotten to them, and they were actually rolling fine, without those same issues.

Poa annua is the ****. We fought like hell when I was on the grounds crew to keep it off our greens. The seeds get carried on golfers' cleats from other courses. It does like you say and it is less drought/heat resistant and browns off in the heat of the summer making the greens look like ****. Can't believe a course that hosts an Open would allow that to happen to the greens. The muni in Edina where I worked doesn't.

Poa shows up everywhere. That's it, end of story.

Accepted a position today! Job search is over! I applied for 35 jobs, had 9 interviews and two offers. Feels great to be done. Now to focus on the summer!

Awesome.

Hi. Apparently the whole state is supposed to get hit with a tornado tonight.

Looked at a house on a lake this weekend. 97 year old neighbor of my uncle has a brick cottage that needs close to $90k in repairs and upgrades. It's still 1978 in some rooms in that place. I'd like it, but not at the price tag he wants. I'm not dropping a quarter of a million into that one.

Good Morning Lodge.

Waiting for the skies to open up here. Hurried in to work so I wouldn't have to deal with it on my commute but forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms for the 7-9 AM range.

I meant to respond to this earlier. I left the house 30 minutes earlier than normal for this very reason. I ended up arriving at the office 45 minutes later than normal, making for a two-hour and fifteen-minute commute today. That was fun.

Oh, and the office apparently thinks it's a Tuesday today. I arrived to an MQ messaging issue causing issues for a handful of major applications. And then a coworker asked me to edit an email for her before she sent it off to the who she was helping. It's still a mystery how that woman not only was hired into the company, but even more so how she graduated from high school. She needs to learn to conjugate a ****ing verb and transfer the facts I give in an email to the email she sends on to those people. I ended up having to rewrite the entire thing for her. :mad:

I like nature's hose. :p

For the record, the gravel mud was still there after we went through the car wash.

Obviously didn't do through a LaserWash :P. If it's still there next week when you're in Green Bay let me borrow your truck and test one of our new machines on it.

Automated car washes always miss something. Here they miss the back license plate area. How hard is it to add one more sprayer that shoots in the reverse direction to get that area?

Actually pretty hard, what usually happens on the back of the cars there is some type of overhang that blocks the water flow down, this is the same reason why the back of cars are usually still wet after drying something blocks the air column and creates a dead zone.

I was thinking a ground level sprayer. They have undercarriage cleaning some places don't they? Similar idea.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: 17th Edition: Summer Isn't Just A Stripper's Name

Looking for hotels down south of Chicago (Tinley area) and came across this review..

"Terrible, violent place in the middle of a literal war zone!"


Okay, but is there a continental breakfast with a waffle thingy? :D

Just out of curiosity what type do you usually go to, friction machine, touchfree or tunnel(think Walter Whites business in Breaking Bad)?

Think if the money you'll save when you only have to pay for the hours you're actually in the room.

Just out of curiosity, how many people do you think actually pay attention to the type of automated car washes they use?

Well, there is quite a difference between a touchless wash and a tunnel.
