My approach to recruiting used to be more reactionary. What I've learned is we all could learn to take a "we'll see" approach... http://www.drmarlo.com/dr-marlo-speaks/maybe-so-maybe-not-well-see/

*3 straight league titles Here comes the 'so we settle for league title now? oh how far we've fallen'

That doesn't make any sense at all, you can be second, third, fourth… hell you can even be fifth.

Forgot to mention, moving up there is contingent on current upper bowl ticketholders being relocated to the parking lot

Probably the only draw they grinded on all year

That team didn't need to grind on draws. They could let the other team work their butts off and just go pick their pocket.

I think I was too

I know I'm in the minority but I'd happily move season tickets to the upper bowl if getting the students all on the 1st level made the place a madhouse.

So are you saying it wouldn't be as bad if students were on the ends of the rink?

I couldn't have said it better myself. Heard we lost Frost because he was concerned about the method Fufeng uses for processing their wastewater. Also, has anyone considered Fufeng to be a front for UMD spying on our program and stealing recruits? Heard Sandy is a big fan of Chinese food... makes you think.

Is the view from the suites that bad when the students stand? I've been in a suite a dozen or so times in the last few years and I don't recall issues with sightlines when fans stood at the end of the game.

As someone who has season tickets behind the opposing goalie, I endorse this message!

I was offered to move 2 of my 4 season tickets at REA this year. That makes me concerned we're going to see lighter crowds this year if they've gotten so far down the list(I'm about 700-800 priority) to offer swaps for people that dropped season tickets.

All for more band but when the dj does play music mix it up a bit. Feels like they never stopped playing some of the songs that were current when The Ralph opened.

According to the USGA's definition of holed, it has to be within the circumference of the hole and the entire ball has to be below the level of the lip.

Tbh I could and have had entire conversations about my thoughts on LIV and why I dislike it. But you can dislike the LIV Tour and also think the PGA Tour has a lot of work to do to improve. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Yeah 48 events is too many. There’s no off-season and no time off to get excited for a new golf season. Most people don’t even know where one ends and the next begins. One idea is you could try spending time outside playing golf rather than watching golf Subzero temps will be here before you know it so enjoy the sun!

Gotta reduce the # of tournaments. Too many and it dilutes the product. When you have 40+ tournaments the top guys aren’t playing in them all. Tpc twin cities is a red headed step child compared to other events. The week after the players fly back from the UK and the location/course isn’t exactly inspiring.

If your only motivation is money then yeah I definitely get it. However, Cam Smith has $10 Mil in earnings this year alone. Not to mention how the PGA Tour has responded with big money events at the end of each season so those career earnings of Bubba and ZJ are dated and will be surpassed by many players in the next 5 years(which is how long the LIV contract is for). Don't forget many players status for future major championships are in serious jeopardy. The OWGR does not currently recognize 54 hole events.

Yeah a lot of money but then you're pretty much owned by the Saudi Gov't and get to be their mouthpiece, I get why some washed up guys are taking the money and running but it's shocking to me that some younger ones are when they have their whole careers ahead of them. Henrik Stenson giving up the Ryder Cup captaincy for the $ was shocking to me, he must be in some real financial trouble is all I can imagine. It's a really dark time for professional golf.

I remember hearing about that course when they broke ground for it, awesome to see it's almost open so I can plan a trip. Reminds me of Links of ND but turned up to an 11, very cool land to build a golf course on!

While I love the idea of recreating that style of course, North Dakota doesn't have the sand-based land or the weather to maintain the fescue grass that makes the ball run like it does over in Scotland. The US has a lot of faux-links style courses that look like links but don't play that way. For example, King's Walk is described by some as "links" because it lacks trees but it plays like a parkland due to the soil it's on it's more target golf than playing it along the ground. There are very few actual links courses this side of the pond that mimic what's played in the Scotland, Ireland, and England. The closest to us that sort of gets there is Sand Valley in Wisconsin but even that falls a bit short. Some of the courses that are true links style in the US are Sandhills in Nebraska which is private and Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon. If you've ever played a true links style course it is, in my opinion, the most fun style of golf to play anywhere.

I don't know why but I like having a 34 in net again.
