After almost 5 years playing golf at Cypress Creek, today I hit shot # 100,000.
Nice… so let’s do the math, if you’re a bad golfer, that’s ~ 150 shots per round, or 650 rounds of golf.
If you’re a pro, that’s 80 shots per round or 1250 rounds of golf.
My guess is you are a very good amateur and shooting 100-110 per round. That’s 1000 rounds, or 200 per year. That’s damn near a full time hob…

Somehow I think that his vision and President Trumps vision of how to accomplish this have more differences than sameness.

I find it hard to believe that Kansas has any mountain at all, much less one taller than their buildings.

You can see Puerta Vallarta from the Governor’s mansion.

Lol. When you wrote that, it made me think the same thing. but.......
Mount Sunflower, although not a true mountain, is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Kansas.[1] At 4,039 feet (1,231 m), it is 3,300 feet (1,010 m) above the state's topographic low point, which lies on the opposite side of the state. It is located between the communities of Kanorado and Weskan in Wallace County, less than half a mile (0.8 km) from the state border with Colorado and is close to the lowest point in Colorado.

Disgusting and similar to what was used on 1600's/1700's sailing ships. At the back of the ship, they had open hole in the deck and a long rope that reached down to the water. After doing your duty, you would wipe yourself with the end of the rope, and then drop it back in the water. :eek (learned that from one of the books I read)
