@Denimhead-0 Happy to hear this. I just happened to pick this up on a pretty decent sale last weekend. Haven't cracked it open yet, but now I'm really looking forward to it.

@Mizmazzle A, all day

@sophisto000 Insane.
If I remember right, they opened the documentary with how things ended up...so you knew what you were working towards. But the entire series was a wild ride, and I was still baffled wth all the things going on.

@Matt We watched that one last year. A truly wild ride.

@Brock Oh ya, you definitely need caddies for the five big courses. There are a decent amount of shots where you have no idea where to hit to. And when you can see, it really helps when they can give you a more specific aim point to help set up your next shot. And most of the greens aren't too terrible to read, but it was definitely helpful to have their guidance on putts, as well.

We had two guys that had played all the Bandon courses before and they were highly considering skipping the caddies this time around, but ended up using them. Granted they played the courses five years ago, but after using them again this time, both said they felt that the caddies were still necessary and would have been lost without them.

@AdamJ @guiltyparty It truly was. And the crazy part is the pictures really don't do it justice.

Magical place.

Finally made it out to Bandon for the first time last week...absolutely amazing. It was pretty foggy for our first round the afternoon we arrived, but after that, the weather was entirely perfect. And if one foggy round was the only "bad" part about the weather...not sure I'll ever get so lucky with weather if I ever go back.

It definitely took some planning to make it out there, but it was totally worth it, and can highly recommend it to anyone who may be thinking about it!

@Denimhead-0 Fit looks great. I got the same two colors. I highly recommend the other ELS slub shirts.

Can confirm, the ELS (standard) are easily my favorite WL shirts...weight, texture, softness, fit, etc are all perfect for me. I'm just missing the Ecru color...but thats because I have about 300 white shirts already. I'm sure some day I'll convince myself Ecru is different enough and order one of those too.

Haven't tried the dyed version yet, but I reckon one of those might make it into my Ecru order when that day comes...

@Denimhead-0 Best show on TV, right now.

@Brian Ha, ya there is a wide variety of games out there...many can feel like you're going to a second job with how brain burner-y they can be.

If you liked that one, you might also like "Hot Streak". That might be considered Magical Athlete's older, slightly more serious, brother. Still goofy and fun, but the players have sliiiiiightly more agency. You are betting on who will win a race (and the racers are sports team mascots)...nothing overly complicated at all...and still fun for the family with lots of laughs.

@Brian Huge board game nerd here. Played that one on New Year's Eve...lots of laughs ensued. It's a fun/goofy one...we loved it. Enjoy!

@blue2gnt Last I checked it was $35 for return shipping from the States.

As a side note, I tried to order two different sizes of a shirt late last year, and the team got back to me and strongly encouraged me to use the chart to try and select my best fitting shirt, as they're now paying the Duty/Tariffs for the US bound shipments (and couldn't afford to continually send two sizes if one was coming back for sure). This was totally understandable for me, and luckily I chose the right one. Not sure if this is still the policy, but thought I might pass that along.

Good luck on the sizing!

The double heavy weights rock... Worn through the winter over here. You should look at the Fleeced Fox hoodies / sweats. I was put off initially cos the colors are kinda plain but wound up with an outmeal one and its great. VERY soft and the marl is more interesting in real life. I think I prefer it to the double heavy French Terry over time.

I concur...big fan of the Fleeced Fox Fibre. The Double Heavy's are a bit too much for the weather here...so the Fox Fibre is the perfect weight.

Can't lie though, really thinking about trying out the Super Looper which drops later today. Sounds like it sits right between the Double Heavy and Fox Fibre, in terms of weight. Will probably end up giving it a go.

@newtoiron said in Spring/Summer 2026:

Wait... how did you guys get these? How do I order one?

They're currently included with all orders (until they run out).

Missed the posting party yesterday...but here's mine on the (insanely overpriced) OEM green strap. My usual summer setup for this watch.

@tody Ha...I'll try to take one later tonight when I get home, or sometime during the week.

It took everything in me not to change into it, but figured my coworkers might look at me a little sideways if I showed up with such an aggressive wardrobe change, post-lunch

@rakusak said in IHSB-BIGBUCK-OLV - Deerskin Western Shirt The Big Buck - Olive:

Not my size, but looks like there is a size medium available!!

I was the lucky recipient of your bump on this. Just came in today, and I'm in love.

Many thanks to you and also the Iron Heart team for getting me sorted!

@scarfmace You definitely should...it's been a lot of fun (other than the cleanup).

Thanks! Not so sure I completely nailed it though, but definitely on the right track. All the more reasons to continue making more down the line, to try and hone my skills.

The sausage education continued this weekend. Since I do a lot of Texas style BBQ, felt like I had to attempt a jalapeño and cheddar link. Turned out pretty good, and learned some things along the way.
