I was even given an assignment by my friends to rent episodes of "Almost Live" so I could understand Seattle better (tangent; years later, I got to meet one of the high-fivin' white guys in person!) I highly encourage anyone who has a love of film and TV to visit the largest video store in the world. Scarecrow's collection is at least THREE TIMES larger than all of streaming media (Netflix, Hulu, Disney + , etc) combines!! And did you know that you can <a href="https://scarecrowvideo.org/rent-by-mail">RENT BY MAIL</a> from them?!? It's true! <a href="https://scarecrowvideo.org/membership">Click Here</a> to become a member today!<br /><br />Since they've moved to non-profit, they have different levels of membership. And of course, there are different rewards at each level. At the $500 level, you are allowed to curate your own section of up to 100 titles! I finally made that donation. They were extra super nice and let me divide my section into two parts; MOVIE MEMES and TROY'S ALPHABET OF FILMS AND TV.<br /><br />Below are both lists. At the store, you'll see images of the meme on each cover. <br /><br />Also, here is their <a href="https://scarecrowvideo.org/posts/spotlight-section-movie-memes">blog entry about this curated section</a>, complete with pictures!</p><p>I also wanted to say a few words about why I chose some of the films in my Alphabet:<br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Troy's Alphabet of Films & TV (37)</h1><p><b>Adventure Buddies</b> <br />These comedy adventure gems are made by Scarecrow employees and were screened in Seattle. I genuinely love the enthusiasm that went into their work! </p><p><b>(TV) The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.</b><br />This was my introduction to Bruce Campbell. Fun mix of comedy and adventure.</p><p><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-angels-share/">The Angel's Share (2012)</a></b><br />A heartfelt and charming journey of some young Scottish folks trying to get set on the right path. It involves whisky.</p><p><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/being-human/">Being Human (1994)</a><br /></b>Robin Williams plays several characters throughout time. I just keep remembering parts of it decades after having seen it. </p><p><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-city-of-lost-children/">City of Lost Children (1995)</a></b><br />Ron Perlman in a very stylized and gritty world (If you like this, check out Jan Svankmajer's and Brothers Quay's works!) </p><p><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/dazed-and-confused/">Dazed and Confused (1993)</a></b><br />A Day in the Life of teens. Matthew McConaughey, Jason London, Mila Jovovich, and Adam Goldberg all in the same film! If you like this check out Waking Life by the same director. <br /></p><p><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-doors/">The Doors (1991)</a></b><br />Val Kilmer plays Jim Morrison in this Oliver Stone film. I wore round wire rimmed glasses to the theater when I watched it so I could look 60s retro. High Schoolers do weird things. <br /><br /><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/everything-everywhere-all-at-once/">Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)</a></b><br />Choosing one film starting with the letter E was a challenge. On the shortlist was:<br /></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Easy Rider (Already in my list of "<a href="https://letterboxd.com/dj_tmc/list/happy-endings/">Happy Endings*</a>")</li><li>Eating Raoul (already in my list of <a href="https://letterboxd.com/dj_tmc/list/movie-posters-youd-find-in-a-video-store/">"Movie Posters You'd Find in a Video Store in the 80s"</a></li><li>Eight Days a Week (really problematic film about a next door stalker boy, and in my list of <a href="https://letterboxd.com/dj_tmc/list/problematic-films-that-ive-watched/">"Problematic Films That I've Watched"</a>)</li><li>El Norte (easily the most meaningful and most important films I've seen starting with the letter E)</li><li>Empire Strikes Back (The Star wars section is just two end caps to the right of my section though)</li><li>Eraserhead (required watching in college)</li><li>Escape from New York</li><li>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (I can't remember what it's about. Maybe I should watch it again ;) )</li></ul><p>But I had to go with Everything Everywhere All at Once for a few reasons. It's a recently released film that is amazing. People don't have to get over the hurdle of watching a film from before they were born to appreciate it's beauty. The characters are relatable. All the actors bring their A game, and I want to highlight James Hong in particular for the breadth he played in this film. His performance alone is makes it worth being on my list of all time favorites. The story is outrageous and worth several rewatchings to gleam more and more of it, while at the same time the core message about relationships and family are easy to grasp and powerful. And the rocks really sold it for me. One might say I added this totally popular film to my section to draw more traffic to it. They're not entirely wrong, but I do honestly think that people who enjoy this film will like a large percentage of the other films I have in my section. Happy viewing!<br /></p><p><b>(TV) Freaks and Geeks<br /></b>This nails the vibe of what high school was like in the 80s!<br /><br /><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-life-and-times-of-grizzly-adams/">The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams</a><br /></b>There is no better cure for chicken pox or the flu than Chicken noodle soup with buttered crackers while watching Grizzly Adams. It might not speed up the recovery time, but it makes the time spent a little better.</p><p></p><p>G Runner Up:<br /><b> <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/get-crazy/">Get Crazy</a>.</b> Made by Alan Arkush (who's very active on Letterboxd, by the way). It's a love letter to outrageousness. <br /><br />HIS REVIEW:<br />Can you review a movie that you made? I need a ruling on that! I was rewatching to prepare for the new Blu-Ray release.<br />So NO I don't sit around and watch my old movies & TV shows. <br />Some
really embarrassing nudity, bad jokes, unconvincing performances, &
underwritten characters. On the other hand whole sections still make me
laugh, the music scenes all work especially Nada & Piggy and I LOVE
Malcom McDowell every time he's on the screen.<br />Does that count as a review? AND I didn't turn off the TV!! Also I am really happy that it's finally coming out. AT long last.<br /><br />MY REVIEW:<br /></p><p>Allan, I just rented a copy of this from Scarecrow Video in Seattle
(largest video store in North America, includes videos lacking from the
Library of Congress). If you ever visit Seattle, I'll happily buy you
dinner and take you there!</p><p>This movie was positively gratuitous!
Gratuitous cartoon comedy, gratuitous nudity, gratuitous violence,
gratuitous car chase scenes. No reason for those scenes except to have
them. And yet, it has such an overall positive feel to it. </p><p>Other
movies from that era would be really problematic now (and thank you for
pointing out its flaws in your review), but there weren't really any
racist jokes (sure, you had a Jews band instead of a Blues Band, and
dipped a little into stereotypes but they weren't played negatively)</p><p>Heck,
you pointed out that every band there was ripping off King Blues, and
you made Willy's character strong mentally and physically. No one needed
to save her; she saved herself.</p><p>I'm about 30 minutes into the
After Party, but I'd love to hear about which parts of the movie were
things that really happened when you worked at the Fillmore. I'd love
for you to make the movie you wanted to make, without the 80s influence
the studio demanded.</p><p>Thanks again for an amazing underrated (aka suppressed by the studio) film!</p><p><br /><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/head/"><br /></a><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/head/">Head (1968)</a><br /></b>It's sorta about the Monkees, but its really about commercialism.

I helped setup the then largest Motion Capture System in the world in the historic Desilu Studios lot, now owned by Sony Pictures (tangent, I saw Ken Lerner of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame in the cafe
there, but protocol was that I wasn't to approach any actors). So, I HAD to include this entry. It's a decent film, and a good example of how Motion Capture doesn't always have to land squarely in the uncanny valley, when talented animators are part of the process. Speaking of the process, optical motion capture systems work by being able to see markers from more than one viewpoint by multiple cameras. That means set pieces and props block this view. They had an entire props department making wire-frame props. Somewhere, there resides a chicken wire Victrola Record Player made for this delightful animation.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/network/">Network (1976)</a><br /></b>This was a cautionary tale.

It has killings and explosions and fight scenes and fast cars and very attractive women. I don't remember the plot. Lemme google it... I'm tired, I scanned it, and I really can't make sense of it. I might go watch this again, but I'd rather watch a non-bond film. Seriously, consider renting "The Quiet Earth" instead. I saw a preview for it a bit ago, and it looks a lot more memorable. Yes, I am recommending a movie I have never seen over this. This is a list of movies I've seen, and I'm bound by those (self made) rules. <br /><br />UPDATE 3/4/2024: You know what upsets me?

In retrospect, I think some of the stain lifted into the polish. It should have been fixed with lacquer first. I had no idea at the time! After all that work and after a long and exhausting day, in a fit of desperation I threw the body on the ground. I shouldn't have done that and I won't again. First and last time for everything.

I was ecstatic to be asked to work with our design manager, Stephanie Delancey, and create the new version! This would be my first time working with an Arduino to make something. I've done other things in Circuit Python, but Arduino is more responsive and takes up less memory. So, I got to learn Arduino from scratch. I'm very happy to have the support to do things like that on the job.</p><p>The First challenge was to find a way to make a gradation that went from red, orange, yellow, white, and blue, while skipping green. There is a TON of code for rainbows online. And why not? Rainbows are awesome and they look pretty on just about anything, and they show off what RGB LEDs can do! But green stars don't really exist, so it couldn't be part of our exhibit. Coming from an art design background, the easiest way for me to solve the problem was to start by making the gradient in<a href="https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/"> Affinity Photo</a> and then observing what was going on in the gradient by using the eyedropper. I then turned that image into a graph for each color. Here's the result:</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7KrIk70rgDz5ukNIBhPA0eMAmAIkj2H1Yw2c6i1JPQ_pHF31G1779wVguCwZJ7yej3EuD-tAakoqyOyofoQD64UO7zDkdbZ-AZAdZK6w6ESB36eVp7La3Z4-aAs4w-e4SyoBb-vfogGTrUCLjXRkNIAmGzmItBSSiEYE1mb23Ivzj8uKdsihRDeVz2sJr/s1024/IMG_6668_spectra_graph.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7KrIk70rgDz5ukNIBhPA0eMAmAIkj2H1Yw2c6i1JPQ_pHF31G1779wVguCwZJ7yej3EuD-tAakoqyOyofoQD64UO7zDkdbZ-AZAdZK6w6ESB36eVp7La3Z4-aAs4w-e4SyoBb-vfogGTrUCLjXRkNIAmGzmItBSSiEYE1mb23Ivzj8uKdsihRDeVz2sJr/w400-h300/IMG_6668_spectra_graph.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Art Major Does Math!

Maybe it was because it was over 30 years a guitar of that was held together with scotch tape was within my home and it was time to rectify the situation. Maybe it was because my daughter will be starting a guitar class soon. No matter. Time to repair. We can make it better, stronger, faster, and in under a million dollars. And maybe learn some soldering along the way. A Brother suggested I join an amateur luthier group. They were helpful, and turned me onto equipment I hadn’t heard of before. Like, the free-way switch, which increased the pickup combinations from 5 to 10 options. Surely I could increase that count. Between it, a dual gang pot, a push/push pot, and a phase reversal switch, I was able to bring that count up to 23!</p><p>It needed a new pick guard. My friend, <a href="https://cornicello.com/">John Cornicello</a>, provided me with over 100 abstract bubble film photos to choose from.

They go great with ranch. Some people with delicate palates would prefer something more subtle. I have admittedly simpler tastes. I like primary and bold color combinations. I like salt and juicy goodness, digestive tract be damned later that evening, no matter how many lactaids I take. This fits that bill.<br /><br />On the right is their Puget Pounder. Original ingredients are Pepperoni, Canadian bacon, Italian Sausage, Mushroom, Black Olive. We subbed out the mushrooms (which, let's be honest, have such a subtle taste they might as well not even be on food. They look like cartoon dog noses anyway) with pineapple, as per my daughter's request. They covered half with the Pineapple. I can't tell if that was a mistake, or a suggestion. I had slices of both. The sauce, almost squeaky mozz and mid-crust reminds me of Pizza Baron in Portland and an unnamed parlor on the way to Mt Hood. (Theirs are a little thinner, with more corn meal on the bottom, and big bubbles showcasing exposed sauce with all the little triangular cracks on the edge. I miss both.) I say mid crust, where the cheese skates a little on the sauce when bitten. This is tasting nostalgia. I don't care how many people are going to talk about the merits of New York vs Chicago vs Detroit pizza. THIS is the heart of Pacific NW pizza. This essence. This experience.</div><div> </div><div>Nostalgia is a powerful drug. It reminds us of sledding and 3-1 snowball fights with the whole family pitted against Dad, and he still would get the upper hand, throwing into the branches of the trees where we took shelter, raining all their snow down upon us. Heading back to the truck, socks wet and feet frozen, exhausted to a pizza parlor where the stucco ceiling stalactites hung at least three feet down, like a battery of swords of Damocles, while we ate the best thing in all of creation.<br /></div><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532154938438092851.post-84761002614063518512020-12-11T00:45:00.000-08:002020-12-11T00:46:17.631-08:00More album covers<p> I’d better get these up here before all of them get deleted from my phone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like the mobile website has a hard time organizing the pics though.

I hosted five impromptu pasture golf rounds at the event! Everyone who attended was surprised at how much more fun they had! Also, using foam golf balls made it much more accessible! We didn't have to worry if we hit anyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
The course had six holes, each about 30-45 yards apart. With foam golf balls and the longest club being a 9-iron, it made a decent challenge for par 3s.<br />
<br />
These are the modified rules that we came up with for the event:<br />
<br />
PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK<br />
<ul>
<li>Each person is responsible for any damage to person or property by errant shots, improper club wielding, unmatched argyle, and/or poor life choices.</li>
</ul>
<br />
PLEASE OBSERVE GOLF ETIQUETTE: <br />
<ul>
<li>Yell "INCOMING!" if you hit a stray shot</li>
<li>Replace Divots (aka Trump Toupees)</li>
<li>Do not throw or break clubs</li>
<li>Wait until ball stops before you hit is again</li>
<li>Lift pinky when drinking Scotch on course</li>
</ul>
RULES CREATED ON-SITE:<br />
Strokes:<br />
<ul>
<li>If you hit a bad tee shot and can retrieve the ball while holding your breath, it does not count as a stroke (once per tee box)</li>
<li>If you swing the club and it doesn't connect with the ball, it does not count as a stroke.</li>
<li>If you hit any person with your ball it does NOT count as a stroke (foam balls FTW!)</li>
<ul>
<li> If you hit any Ranger or DPW, take TWO strokes off the current hole</li>
</ul>
</ul>
Ball Placement <br />
<ul>
<li>You can move your resting ball up to one foot in any direction to improve your lie.</li>
</ul>
Holing out<br />
<ul>
<li>If the ball lands one club length + 1 foot of the hole, it is considered holed. </li>
<ul>
<li>Longest club used by you or your opponents is used for measuring </li>
</ul>
</ul>

<br />
I attended the US Open on Sunday, with Trophy Club tickets. For those of you who don't know what that means, I went ahead and paid extra to have access to a large air conditioned clubhouse. (They also sold tickets to *another* clubhouse called the 1895 club for even MORE money) I thought I'd need it because I was hoping to take my uncle, but as luck would have it, he couldn't make it, and I had a nasty cold/nasal infection/bronchitis/crud. So, it paid off for me. <br />
<br />
I used your surveys system at the even early on, but wanted to give you my end of day thoughts. This is the first time I ever went to ANY golf tournament, and I was not sure what to expect. Others said that it was hard to see the players, but I wasn't that upset by it. We found some spots that gave us decent views. My sister, nephew, daughter and I had a great time! We are considering going to another US Open when it is in our region (California is close enough for us!)<br />
<br />
<b>Things done well: </b><br />
<ul>
<li>The Course!</li>
<ul>
<li>Love that you chose a course with fescue grass that requires less water!</li>
<li>Love that the course was challenging!</li>
<li>I'm laughing at the players who complained about it. I play at municipal courses where they have uneven surfaces (not always because of aeration). Man up and learn to deal with lines that are not perfect curves.</li>
</ul>
<li>Ticket package mailed to me in advance</li>
<ul>
<li>Well thought out package that answered most of my questions</li>
</ul>
<li>Lot O special instructions on back, so we could read it as we drove. </li>
<ul>
<li>The walk from parking to the actual busses was a bit long, but otherwise it was a good solution. </li>
</ul>
<li>Shuttle bus wait was zero, and admission was only a few minutes (we came in around 11AM) </li>
<li>American Express sponsored earbud radio was really cool, and came in handy when the Merchandise tent ran out of lanyards. </li>
<li>Jumbotron on the 13th & 14th green that gave ball distance to hole, player stats and amateur standings was very appreciated</li>
<li>Lemonade stand as a general concession was nice. Very popular with a long line.</li>
<li>Trophy Club porta potties were very nice! They were trailers, with porcelain seats. </li>
<ul>
<li>They wobbled too much, but were otherwise comfortable</li>
</ul>
<li>Grandstand line for the 14th hole was MUCH faster than I expected. We
got there about 2 hours before the final pairings. The volunteers made
the process go incredibly smoothly.</li>
</ul>
<b>THINGS TO IMPROVE</b><br />
Again, we had a great experience. I am seriously picking nits here. Magnifying the problems to talk about them at all.<br />
<br />
<b>TVs in the Trophy Club</b><br />
There were plenty, but all had on the same broadcast. This is the same thing I could have watched if I stayed home. And, the audio echoed so much, I couldn't understand any of it. Subtitles would have helped. I was expecting more than one view, guessing that there would be 18 different feeds, one for each hole. At the very least, the three streams you pushed on the internet could have been on the screens in the Trophy Club. <br />
<br />
<b>Food in the Trophy Club</b><br />
With the potential exception of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (yay!), it was the exact same offering as what was available at the rest of the concessions. I'm not expecting caviar (I actually hate that stuff), but I would have paid more money for higher quality food options. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse was only serving steak sandwiches, while I wanted to be able to buy an actual steak. The reviews in the room were that they were dry and chewy.<br />
<br />
<b>Drinks in the Trophy Club</b><br />
Full disclosure, I run a whisk(e)y blog <a href="http://wawhiskeywatch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Washington Whiskey Watch</a> (also on Facebook with event listings <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WashingtonWhiskeyWatch?ref=hl" target="_blank">here</a>). <br />
<br />
The drink options on Sunday were abysmal. I saw less than 10 unique bottles in total at each bar. The best blended Scotch was Johnnie Red. I primarily drink Scotch, bourbon, rye, and other American whiskies. I don't remember if you had any bourbon (maybe Maker's Mark?). For the price of the tickets, I was expecting to have at least five Scotch, five bourbon, and two rye options. I was hoping for some more exclusive stuff, like Glenmorangie Signet, The Balvenie 21, or Pappy Van Winkle. Did the 1895 Club offer anything that wasn't in the Trophy Club?<br />
<br />
The British Open has an official whisky sponsor (Glenmorangie). Why doesn't the US Open have an American whiskey sponsor? There are plenty of incredible American Whiskies (including bourbon, of course). If you wanted to stick to larger national brands, you still could get Buffalo Trace, Elijah Craig, Knob Creek, Eagle Rare.<br />
<br />
On the local front, here's a small list of Pacific Northwest distilleries that locals and travelers would have loved to tried:<br />

</ul>
<br />
<b>General Concessions</b><br />
For concessions themselves, maybe some local options, such as Dixie's, Ezell's, Ivars, or one of several local burger companies (Red Mill, Kidd Valley, Burgermaster, Dick's) would have been something that out of town guests would have enjoyed and locals would have rejoiced in. Heck, Seattle and Portland have some serious Food Truck culture. Those would have been great on the course.<br />
<br />
<b>The Course</b><br />
We visited the 13th green, the 3rd green and the 14th green. Arriving at 11:30, we didn't have enough time, and due to my sickness I didn't have enough energy to check out other places. <br />
<br />
<b>Directions </b>were a bit hard to follow. I was looking for the 3rd green's bandstand. Fortunately, a volunteer let me know that that was none, and where the best place would be to stand. Caught Jordan there!<br />
<br />
The course didn't have a lot of shade, and more <b>shade structures</b> throughout the venue would have made it easier on the spectators.<br />
<br />
The gallery <b>porta potties</b> were nice. I didn't see the one option that speed up lines though: the <b>walk in </b>long men's urinal. These are huge boons to local festivals that I've been to. <br />
<br />
<b>Policies</b><br />
<b>No Photos</b><br />
This was a hard one to understand. I understand not wanting to disturb players with flashes or camera sounds, and totally respect that. But, why were we not allowed to take silent photos from our phones? Or candids of ourselves with friends with the course in the background?<br />

But when I put the call out to see how many of them had their creations for sale, I was amazed at the response.<br />
<br />
I'll start with my projects.<br />
<br />
I make art and sell it for charity! You can see the work on this blog:<br />
<a href="http://gravitypainting.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Gravity Painting</a><br />
<br />
Also, I'm working on a card game, and will let everyone know when the Kickstarter page is up!<br />
<br />
Without further adieu, here is a list of friends with links to their creative projects.<br />

There's been a rumor going around that the Callaway golf balls available exclusively at Costco is either identical to their premium Chrome Soft ball or the older Hex Hot. Here's the chatter on <a href="http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/800659-callaways-at-costco/" target="_blank">GolfWRX</a>. <br />
<br />
And, for $30 for two dozen (or $60 for <a href="http://www.costco.com/Callaway%C2%AE-HEX-Control%E2%84%A2-Golf-Ball-4-Dozen.product.100102155.html" target="_blank">four dozen online</a>) compared to MSRP of $37.99 ONE dozen for <a href="http://www.callawaygolf.com/golf-balls/balls-2015-chrome-soft.html" target="_blank">Chrome Soft </a>balls, who can blame anyone for wanting to save a few dollars.<br />
<br />
Callaway's Chrome Soft golf ball was the highest rated ball in <a href="http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-equipment/2015-06/hot-list-golf-balls#slide=1" target="_blank">Golf Digest's June 2015</a> issue, in all categories but demand. But after that review, we'll see if demand goes up! According to them, it has better feel than the Pro V1. That's right, better feel than the so-called best ball on the market.<br />
<br />
I called up Callaway to find out from the source. It was a brief conversation (spent most of the time talking about the <a href="http://www.costco.com/Callaway%C2%AE-X-HOT-11-Piece-Golf-Set-Right-Hand-Regular-Flex.product.100136868.html" target="_blank">Callaway X-Hot</a> clubs set, which are a smoking deal for someone who needs a new set. Note that they sell lefty and stiff models too!) I was told that the closest thing on the market in 2015 to the Hex Control was in fact the Chrome Soft. I asked if the only difference was the logo. They implied the cover was the only difference, without exact words to that effect.<br />
<br />
Let's take a closer look.<br />
<br />
<b>Specs on the Chrome Soft:</b><br />
3-piece<br />
Cover: Thermoplastic Urethane <br />
Dimple pattern: HEX Aerodynamics<br />
<br />
<b>Specs on the Hex Control:</b><br />
3-piece<br />
Cover: Trionomer Blend<br />
Cover Hardness: 56D<br />
Dimple pattern: HEX Aerodynamics<br />
<br />
So, right there we know that the cover material is different. Being that urethane is a much more expensive material, I'm neither surprised nor disappointed by this. The Hex pattern on all modern Callaway golf balls seems identical to me.<br />
<br />
But, what about the inside? There was only one way to find out, so here are the results of a little vice and jig saw work:<br />

Here's the inside of the Callaway Hex Control. I found this watercolor palate to be the perfect holder! (How many golfers out there would have one? Seriously, if you do paint and golf, please comment!)<br />

OK, what about The Chrome Soft?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MCduMpT8Zyw/VWI_chXN3AI/AAAAAAAACZM/so7dmIG5TAs/s1600/2015_05_GolfBallCutaway00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MCduMpT8Zyw/VWI_chXN3AI/AAAAAAAACZM/so7dmIG5TAs/s320/2015_05_GolfBallCutaway00.jpg" width="246" /></a></div>
Nope! This matches the photos in the Golf Digest article, minus the blue circle in the very center. As my cut was off center a bit and the saw blade left discoloration patterns on the ball, I'm not surprised it is not noticeable.<br />
<br />
Here's the big differences:<br />
<br />
The Chrome Soft has a thinner outer layer. When I cut it, it was a lot stickier and softer. It was also noticeably harder to cut, due to the sticky softness. It closer to rubber than plastic and was surprisingly tough!<br />
<br />
If I was to guess, I'd say the thin middle layer material is identical to both. And obviously, the inner layer is different. The green material smelled different when cut, and stuck to itself more, like you can see in the top photo. <br />
<br />
So, Chrome soft was been ruled out. Others have said it was a rebranded Hex Hot, or perhaps the Chrome Supersoft with an extra layer.<br />
<br />
Here's all four balls side by side:<br />
Chrome Soft, Hex Control, Supersoft, Hex Hot (Yellow)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CpUc7P_dMLI/VWI_d5T_zzI/AAAAAAAACZw/HWFJKDXCPmU/s1600/2015_05_GolfBallCutaway04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CpUc7P_dMLI/VWI_d5T_zzI/AAAAAAAACZw/HWFJKDXCPmU/s640/2015_05_GolfBallCutaway04.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
All are different!<br />
<br />
Detail shots: Note that the Supersoft material does <i><b>not</b></i> match the 2015 Golf Digest article. This particular Supersoft ball was found on a golf course with a corporate logo. I'm not sure if the performance is a little different, or if the dye lot is the only thing different with the material. <br />

<br />
<b>Conclusion:</b><br />
The Callaway's Costco exclusive Hex Control ball is not a relabeled Chrome soft or Hex ball, It is it's own unique ball. The cover is thicker, and fairly durable. The performance is great for me (a mid to high handicapper) The reviews on GolfWRX are outstanding. It is still a high performance ball, and is perhaps the best value per dollar that you can find on the market for well known balls (<a href="http://snellgolf.com/" target="_blank">Snell</a>, you want to send me a sleeve or two to review? I'd be happy give you my honest opinion!)<br />
<br />
The Chrome Soft ball is made of more expensive materials. The cover on the Chrome Soft will likely give you more greenside control, because it's literally stickier when attacked with a metal object.<br />
<br />
Suggestion: If you are a mid to high handicapper and lose a ball or two per round, the Hex Control may be the best ball for you because due to the price/performance factor. And, it's a great backup/practice/early season ball for better players.<br />
<br />
But in terms of quality, if you can afford it (and won't lose it), go for the Chrome Soft.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532154938438092851.post-38478563204324079022015-03-28T19:17:00.004-07:002022-04-02T22:07:07.714-07:00Seattle Golf Progression ChartHow do we make golf better and more accessible to people? In other words, how can we keep the sport alive, when younger generations become less interested in it.<br />
<br />
One of the things I saw as a block to getting involved in the sport, was the lack of an easy progression 'chart' tailored to my area. I recently made such a chart for a friend who is considering taking up golf in the Seattle area. He lives right next to Willows Run, so I made sure to put those in there. There are a LOT more courses that would fit level 3 & 4, but I have not listed them here. Please let me know which ones are your favorites that I missed!<br />

<b>CLUB BUYING TIPS:</b><br />
My suggestion is based off of creating a starter set that can grow with your skills.<br />
It
may take you a little while to get good enough to make good use of a
driver, so don't worry about it at first. You can add it later when you are ready for it. Remember, even pros forgo their driver for many shots. Michelson won tournaments without pulling it out of his bag once.<br />
<br />
If you can, it is incredibly helpful to get fit for clubs. This process gets you custom clubs to match your body. Everyone is a different height. Everyone leans down a little different when addressing the ball. The club length & how the club face lies on the ground are important to making a good shot. Getting fir for proper clubs for your body early on will help you not pick up bad swing habits.<br />
<br />
Then, if your budget does not allow for new clubs, consider getting last year's model of the same club. They are often available to demo as well. Otherwise, expect them to be a little different than this year's model in how they handle, but may be worth the savings. Case in point: I really love how Ping's G30s hit, but for the life of me, the G25 under-performs for <b>my specific swing.</b><br />
<br />
When starting, you may want to consider 'game improvement' or 'super game improvement' irons. These help the ball go straighter, even when you are not swinging perfectly.<br />
<br />
4 wood (or a 3 or 5 wood.. I just split the difference)<br />
5 iron or hybrid<br />
7 iron<br />
9 iron<br />
Sand Wedge <br />
<div>
Pitching Wedge</div>
Putter<br />
<br />
If these are too many clubs for your budget, remove Sand Wedge & 9 iron<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This setup is essentially removing every other club from the bag, so the spacing on the club distance is most versatile. <br />
<br />
Order in which to add clubs:</div>
<div>
3 hybrid</div>
Driver<br />
Pitching Wedge<br />
the rest of the irons<br />
4 hybrid <br />
<br />
<b>List of Decent Club Brands</b><br />
As a beginner, just consider getting a complete<a href="https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/f/golf-clubs?pageNumber=0&filterFacets=X_BRAND%3ATop%20Flite%3B5382%3AGolf%20Club%20Sets&selectedSort=3" target="_blank"> Top-Flite set at Dick's Sporting Goods</a> when they are on sale. As of 2022, they cost about $250 for a great starter set.<br /><br />This is not exhaustive. There are many off brand clubs that are great (I like some clubs by <a href="http://www.pinemeadowgolf.com/" target="_blank">Pine Meadows</a>) But, there are tons of crappy ones at Goodwill that you shouldn't bother with. They'll make hitting the ball decently that much harder. Brands that make well known game improvement irons are in bold.<br />

She came to me a little upset, because the two tones of blue didn't match. She wanted me to do the detail work. I thought that it was one of the best 'happy accidents' ever, this blue gradation!<br />

<br />
PROS<br />
<br />
<li>MANY courses employ environmental stewardship best practices</li>
<li>When properly designed, they can become habitats for animals. In some urban zones, they are often the only green space available. Having a golf course near environmentally sensitive areas can help protect those areas from over development.</li>
<br />
<br />
CONS<br />
<br />
<li> MANY courses use too much water, fertilizer & pesticides. And, they are primarily for cosmetic reasons.</li>
<li> Improperly designed golf courses can ruin wildlife refuges that used to exist in the area, or nearby.</li>
<li> Some clubs are exclusive and fosters a have/have not society</li>
<br />
<a href="http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/environment" target="_blank"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/environment" target="_blank">Golf Digest's 2008 issue on Golf & the Environment </a>was a real 'game changer' (pardon the pun!) regarding this topic. In a nutshell: they changed their review process of courses. They don't judge on color of the grass anymore, but rather playability. Dry, yellow grass is now OK away from the putting green. As these reviews drive reputation & sales, this takes a LOT of pressure off courses to use costly chemicals. And, using less water not only saves them money, but the water can now me used for more important things, like crop irrigation.<br />
<br />
GOLFING'S EFFECT ON PEOPLE<br />
PROS<br />
<br />
<li>Healthy long term activity that people can play for many, many years (unlike football, basketball, etc)</li>
<li>Game Environment that fosters <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29" target="_blank">FLOW</a></li>
<li>Challenges oneself</li>
<li> Giving your best, and being OK with what you are given.</li>
<li> Being present to the shot at hand, and not thinking about past mistakes </li>
<li> Overcoming anger in frustrating situations</li>
<li> Becoming calm and level headed in wonderful/exciting situations</li>
<li>A chance to get together with friends</li>
<li>A chance to be with family</li>
<li>Encourages dedication, discipline, honesty and integrity </li>
<br />
CONS <br />
<br />
<li>Time not being spent producing anything (can also be considered a PRO)</li>
<li>Expensive equipment prevents people with lower incomes from playing</li>
<li style="margin-left: 40px;">Used equipment is slightly better, but still expensive.</li>
<li>Takes 4-6 hours to play a round, too long in a fast paced world.</li>
<li>Does not *really* cater to youth market (in spite of The First Tee's best efforts)</li>
<li>Spendy Windows </li>
<br />

<br />
For what its worth, I've encountered some people on some courses that would still fit that bill. I like to call them 'snooty self-absorbed douchey-bags'. But there is a whole lot less of them at the courses I play than I would have expected.<br />

I still think we should consider combining golf courses and cemeteries. But more on that in a later post. (the punchline: '..and you can put the ashes in the sand trap!')<br />
<br />
Before I started golfing, I thought it was a very exclusionary, elitist activity. (For a break down on private clubs, here's a neat <a href="http://www.dba-oracle.com/golf_travel/joining_a_country_club.htm" target="_blank">blog entry</a>.) Never mind the fact that I had three uncles who were all very down to earth and all enjoyed it very much. And, one of my cousins almost made it into the PGA. All very good, down to earth people. But, having seen Caddyshack during my formative years, I thought that it was what golf was all about. A bunch of snobs.<br />

<br />
And then, a few years ago, (OK, ok, 9 years!), I had an upcoming interview with EA's Motion Capture studio. I figured I should pick up a few of their games to see how good they were and to talk intelligently about their product in the interview. One of the games I got was Tiger Woods 2005.<br />
<br />
It was actually a lot of fun! Of course, it was really easy to hit the ball, when all you had to move was a joystick. Oh, and there were explosions and particle effects. that made it pretty cool.<br />
<br />
My office was about half a mile from a golf course and driving range. So, one lunch I thought I'd try it out for real. At first, I felt like I didn't belong, that it was too rich for my blood. But then I noticed that there were people from all walks of life there. Not just old, rich, white guys. And they served hot dogs, not lobster. It was still intimidating, not knowing what to do. I put the rubber tee on top of the mat, and hit a ball off of it. The tee flew further than the ball! And, I wasn't supposed to go out there and retrieve it, else someone hit me with their shot. I quickly figured out that the tee was supposed to go through a hole in the padded mat. I was so embarrassed. (I later saw other rubber tees out there from people who made the same mistake)<br />
<br />
But, then I went back to it. Eventually, one ball really flew. That particular swing was effortless, and I barely felt the club hit the ball. I'd later learn that was the 'sweet spot'. And this was how I got hooked. In that moment, I felt a connection with the ball. It was as if I was flying with it.<br />
<br />
The next time I talked to one of my uncles, I mentioned that I wanted to get into it. He got me a starter set of clubs. And I've been golfing ever since. <br />
<br />
It's a great way to meet people from all walks of life, especially if you go to municipal (public) courses.<br />

But, in the meantime, I thought I'd post this image. I went ahead and cut into this ball to see what the layers looked like. And, while the colors don't match the marketing on the back of the box, there is indeed five layers.<br />

UPDATE 6/5/2013<br />
I tried these, and was unimpressed. Maybe it was just my golf game that day, but for someone with a swing speed of less than 95 miles an hour, this is not your best ball. I was getting more slicing, and less overall distance. I had as much greenside feel with the Bridgestone e5. <br />
<br />
So, if your handicap is over 18, this is not the ball for you.<br />
<br />
Now then, anyone know where I can get rid of the rest of this pack?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
