re: Anyone hearing big LIV rumors?

At least Bayou Oaks got a new driving range out of it.
Yes, but last I saw it was quite ready. It be NOLA's bad luck to have that place be almost finished and the plug gets pulled.
LIV was probably going to end as we know it eventually but I'd like to see it last long enough for the event at Bayou Oaks.
So I guess this means no LPGA - LIV type tour in the future?

Scottie or Xander. Rahm in a distant 3rd.
I have no faith in Speiths game though he is showing improvement.

The Audacity on AMC
Posted by StringMusic on 4/13/26 at 11:14 am
New series just started last night on AMC. Watched the first episode early this morning. Created by the same people that produced Succession.
Very entertaining so far. Black comedy involving various tech company founders and a therapist who is using her confidential sessions to try to strike it rich.

re: Portugal & San Sebastián
Posted by StringMusic on 4/6/26 at 6:48 am to NachoReb
Haven't done Portugal yet, but did spend one day in San Sebastian about 18 months ago. We did a small group walking tour with food & wine and we had a great time. Learned a lot about the history of the city.
That area does have several multi-star Michelin places. Some are considered one time experiences. We didn't have enough time to take in one of those, but if you are there for 3 nights and are into food & wine I would certainly try to book a table at one of those. I recall that the best places may be a short drive out of the city so a car or ride share may be your best option.
We did have a car for 4 days in northern Spain from/to Zaragoza and driving was quite easy. Traffic into San Sebastian was heavy and we had to park in a garage in the middle of town to meet up with the tour, but navigation was easy.
If you have a car and one day free, consider driving to Logrono or a small town near there. That's in the Rioja region - plenty of good wine tasting locations. Logrono also has a compact walkable city center that features plenty of tapas bars and pintxos - much like what you'll see in San Sebastain.

Great story - thanks for sharing the link.
I met him at the Zurich when he was still caddying for Bubba. I was working as a Shotlink volunteer and I had a chance to speak briefly with him. Very down to earth guy - I'm often amazed at how he lasted so long with Bubba.
Guess he had tons of patience.

re: Regarding demo shift and cities rebounding, what’s up with Newark and Jersey City?
Posted by StringMusic on 3/26/26 at 5:19 pm to TexasTiger08
Haven't been to Newark in some time. It did have a small, updated downtown about 15 years ago. I think the Devils still play in that area. And some good ethnic food.
Jersey City is a different place. It's got a wide variety of neighborhoods.
The Hudson River waterfront - Newport and Paulus Hook - are very nice. Mix of older single family homes (brownstones, walkups), condos, and apartments. Along with some class A high rise office space, hotels, retail, etc. This place was redeveloped about 30 years ago (was horrible until the late 80's). Has at least 3 Path stations to take you quickly into Manhattan, and a light rail system that runs from Hoboken down to Bayonne. Goldman Sachs is still headquartered in the high rise along the south end - by the Colgate Clock. And a decent boat harbor is in that area.
The Heights - near Journal Square - has gotten better in the last 10 years. Older apartments & high rises were updated and converted to expensive housing. Path station at Journal Square gives this place easy access to the waterfront and Manhattan.
The rest of Jersey City - especially south of the Heights toward Bayonne - used to be quite sketchy. The Iman who planned the '93 WTC car bombing lived and operated in on of these neighborhoods.
Haven't been since 2019 so I'm not sure what it looks like now, but I suspect that not much has changed.

From the few of her songs that I've heard she would have to change her voice & delivery. Her voice sounds like she's trying to whisper everything. Maybe my ears need to be cleaned! Also, don't they normally go with an act that's upbeat and high energy?
