Good Morning T!

It looks like it's not too crowded around here this morning. Cloudy with a good chance of rain today in AK.

Hopefully, we can keep the squirrels at bay and have a good conversation for a change.

Hahahaha, Dealt with a few of those Dick, Belfast, 1972! One soldier on patrol and in uniform, went into a shop which was in a staunch Republican. He had been in to buy things previously, and was treated like dirt,even threatened,spat at, and they refused to serve him.
Well, some days later, he went in again. He met the same hostility [now remember he was there to stop the Loyalists from harming them!!!Sounds familiar]. This time the 'naughty' young man, took some things in with him in his combat jacket. Before leaving the shop this time, he took the things out of his pockets stopped in the doorway and said in a loud voice: "Thanks very much indeed, it was nice chatting to you, I will be back soon to buy some more" or words to that effect!" What was the result of such a prank? Yep! you guessed it, the local PIRA knee-capped them.

Good to read the take on your balls hahaha, mind above belly buttons please. ProV1 v Bridgestone e6. Look forward to hearing updates on them in the weeks to come.Try a Srixon AD333 sometime and see what you think.

Dragonhead and his faithful Dragon extraordinaire in Dalian, China.
Swinging gently so far as lunch approaches, burp,rumble tum hahaha.

some people eh???
I think in order to stop this guy creating all these anonymous posters, the tech guys might have to set up a mandatory registration or something, I figure WKs IP was blocked, but he is still able to post, he must be going through a proxy to avoid the block,
sorry if that doesn't make sense, but its 4:15am here in Melbourne, been up all night waiting for DJ's round and running on copious amounts of caffeine.

Great Eagle on the 5th there DJ, way to bounce back!!!!

Glad big brother let you see DJ's interview.

Hope you had a great day.

Thanks for your kind words. I feel the same way about you, you old war dog.

And if you get the Golf Channel, that start time is a few minutes after they go live on air with the tournament, so we may get to see DJ from the first tee.

Sixteen distinct squirrels rattling around in the same cage if I remember correctly. Sounds really familiar. LOL

Either that, Or, he just has access to more than one computer. I believe each computer would have a separate IP address, even if they're on the same cable connection, but I'm not sure on that point.

I've only posted a couple of times but have gotten only positive thoughts from fellow golfers . Unfortunately ,I guess the only remedy for the personal attacks would be to confine our comments to golf and communicate re any nongolf related stories via personal emails vs the board,

There seems to be a magnet that attracts really nasty outbreaks. I just showed up on this blog to see lots of comments about DJ's game the last two days see if I can get insight into how he plays golf and learn from Don Trahan. and then I see your awful comments. So I went through some other daily topics and found scores of really ugly comments directed at JB51 and awful things spewing from Dick Lee and T Medley and then others pat them on the back.

I don't think lessons will help your (collective you) golf game. Too much negativity keeps you from appreciating golf and playing well.

Hey I want to buy a vowel

It is not a shame to see a person like Dragonhead on this site. We are proud to have him as a member of the Surge Nation.

There are a lot of places on this big old world where there is conflict. You are not too bright if that is where you take your vacations. Maybe you should plan your next trip to northern Mexico. You will love it there. Keep your head down.

What is a shame is for a worthless sniper like you to show up on this site and take pot shots at a man like Dragonhead. He has spent a great portion of his life defending freedom so parasites like you can shoot off your mouth with no fear.

Go back under your rock, or change your name again and visit us again.

We are open 24 hours a day,
The sun never sets on the Surge Nation,
Dick

I know what you mean. Sometimes it can actually be a little amusing and break up the monotony. The point is, to take it as humorous and not as being anything serious.

DJ is really getting his game in overall great shape this week. It is clear his new putter is working well for him. He switched from that belly (two ball Callaway?) to a blade style that is longer than standard but not quite a belly style. At any rate it is working for him. 27 putts Thursday and 28 on Friday. One of the reasons his putts were slightly higher on Friday is because he hit more greens in regulation. Also he is pitching and chipping wonderfully. Up and down frequently for both pars and birdies. And the result is NO bogies in the first two days ranking him second in pars. A few more birdies and he'd be 3rd or 4th in pars. It is huge though because in recent tournies he has had plenty of birdies but too many boges and doubles. His short game is keeping things tidey - a great trend. As he said on this interview, he needs a few more birdies. I think 67,67 finish will put him at or close to the top by Sunday evening.
Oh, one more obsevation, his driver distance has him in position 28 (lower than usual) but obviously because he is playing for position and placement on this narrow golf course. Smart stuff. he must be hitting alot of 3 woods off the tees. Good, smart golf and potentially a winning formula.

Kim,

My bones are saying the same thing. I sat here this morning following on shot tracker and almost missed a tee time with friends of mine. Call me goofy, but I'm sure I was more nervous than DJ..lol.
I left for the course smiling and for the first time ever played 18 without keeping score. I just relaxed and enjoyed each shot. The strange part was I pulled off some shots that I normally would even try.

Thanks DJ, Go get em.

Thanks pal.

I knew you would have my six.

You guys keep this drivel up and I might have to stop eating chicken all together. Kelly Jo made grilled chicken tonight. About half way through diner I started laughing about some of the chicken threads we have had on here and I almost chocked. I almost needed that pat on my back.

Jack is like that. And don't worry about throwing him under the bus, he has done the same for me before.

Coach

You are my friend are a wise man. You summed up exactly how I feel abut the whole thing. I am just having some fun.

And the best part is for me, as I told Janet a few nights ago, "Swatting trolls is a lot of fun and it is completely fat free."

It is also a good mental agility drill. The funny part is how seriously the trolls take it. It is a heavy cross to bear when you walk around all day thinking how much smarter you are than the whole world. Poor fellows.

But, I don't feel sorry for them. It is the life path they chose.

Hi Dick,

You should really try the adidas that I was talking about . A bamboo skewer will hold three of them. They grill up nicely with a mild sauce containing vinegar, lime, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Absolutely fantastic.

Robert F Thanks for that on it being on PGATour.com Maybe I will give that site a go.
Will be watching highlights of the 3rd Rd at the Heritage here in a couple of hours, that followed by the final round of the Volvo Open in Chengdu live on line.
Lots of coverage here but the Chinese commentators are risible. Their combined knowledge about Golf you could put on a small wooden golf tee! BUT and it is a Big BUT, some golf coverage is a whole lot better than no coverage ; - )
Funny, before I logged on this morning I picked up my 5 iron and set up GBSAPS [as RR reminded me on today's video blog, when I read it], I noticed that it sits further back than it used to when I used the rotational [Spanish Inquisition, painful torture]swing. It will be interesting when I am allowed to hit real balls, the difference. On my 12yards indoor range, the accuracy is consistent and dead straight. Previous to the SSGS swing, INCONSISTENCY was my name.
Thanks for your comments, I glean lots of very helpful information and confirmation from the great guys of the Surge Nation.
Go DJ !

You know when you you walk in on a movie 3/4 of the way through and you dont know whats going on? well thats the situation you have walked into, (assuming youre not the person causing the problems in the first place)

Although we should be Ignoring the trolls, its just that its so hard to sometimes.

I am glad you have had positive experiences with your prior posts. The regulars on this blog are very knowledgeable of the Surge Swing and more than willing to help anyone with a question. We do talk about a lot of stuff here. I guess that keeps it interesting for those of us who spend our evening on line chatting. While you will see a lot of different things discussed, the core of it all is golf and the Surge Swing.

Yes, I agree that we could do a better job of leaving the attacks somewhere else.

Please don't let the "silly" stuff keep you from asking questions or posting how your game went any day. We love to hear about how folks are doing on the course.

Janet, If you get Show Time, The USA of Tara, is in it's third season. It stars Toni Collette as a modern day multi-personality, semi functional individual, living in a family environment. It's actually a pretty good series, and worth watching. It's also available at video stores in season 1 and 2. If I remember correctly, didn't Sally Field play Sybil in the mid 70s movie version.

visited Belfast 11 or 12 years ago and it was the most evil place I have ever been. Huge hate filled murals are everywhere on buildings. Going into the Catholic side of town I saw a new building under construction at the side of the road. I asked my cab driver why they were building it and he said they blew up the old one a bit closer to the separation wall so many times they decided to move it down the road.

And there were patches along the road, over and over. So I asked why so many patches and my cab driver said that is where cars were blown up. My cab driver also told me that the europa hotel, the europa is right next to the train station, was blown up more than any hotel on earth.

Shame to see this type person here on this forum so frequently when all I wanted to see was insight into DJ Trahan's game.

I have used the Heimlich several times to help people who bite off more than they could swallow. As the old saying goes, no good deed ever goes unpunished. I was threatened with a lawsuit once when I broke a guy's rib while performing the Heimlich. That got dropped when everyone else in the restaurant were willing to testify that the guy was blue and face down in his plate right in front of his kids and grandkids when I pulled him up and cleared his airway.

What a world we live in,
Dick

I don't know if I can get my head around eating chicken feet. I am not a food snob. But, there are just some stuff this old hillbilly ain't been willing to try yet.

I don' want to be like the lady in the restaurant who said she could not eat the special of the day, which was cow tongue, because it came out of an animal's mouth. Then she proceeded to order eggs.

You saw it at it's best sunshine. 1972 for 4 months + 2years later. Stood outside having a smoke in 1972, when in the distance,an Hotel,a brand new hotel, blew up before my eyes! Briefly it was the largest one room hotel in Ulster. An own goal by the bad guys it was Irish money that built it!
I attended to the horrendous injuries suffered by. British soldiers, gunmen and bombers alike,as we do. So your vitriol is misdirected sunshine.
If you had money invested in Glass, Bricks and building material, you were rich in no time. Funny that those who had the money were those blowing things up.Funny that.

Check out Balmoral Golf Club, 518 Lisburn Road, Belfast, where I played Golf nearly every weekend for 2 years. A lovely course. Watched the General Commanding Northern Ireland, up in front of us, with more 'caddies' than you could shake a stick at ; - ) My playing partner was a Lt Col normally, an Irishman from the Republic! A perfect gentleman, with a robust sense of humour.

BTW My Scot's mother, who has just passed away, was brought up Presbyterian parents when her mother died when she was young, her father married a Roman Catholic.
My father ironically enough was from Lisburn [sound familiar?], I couldn't go near them, for fear of putting them in danger. Oh! and the RC side of my Scots family, would have nothing to do with me, because I was a soldier, even though a Medic.
Ironically again, my youngest son died in Lagan Valley Hospital at 5 days old, the place of his grandfather's birth. If Belfast is the most evil place you have been, you must lead an extremely sheltered life good sir.
Now I will say no more on the matter.

"Shame to see this type person on this forum when all I wanted to see was insight into DJ Trahan's game."
I apologise for upsetting your 'insight' Aguyjain.

DJ's going off at 1:05 with Nick O'Hern. ( 10am for me ). He's really got a great touch around the greens this week. Newest putters working for him and he's been chipping it close for tap ins.
Can't wait to see him tommorow! Go Deej!!

Your writing style looks strangely familiar.

I guess you did not go to the same school the other guy did not go to.

We are not negative on this blog, we are positive.

We are positive we have a great time on this blog.

We are positive we are among friends here.

We are positive you can't ruin that for us.

We are positive the Surge Swing works for us.

Just keeping it positive, is that better.

By the way, if you are chocking on a piece of horse meat, a pat on the back is great.
