Miyagi-Do Karate

My prior post should be in a grammar book!

Don’t worry. He will be back with us!

sounds awful And traumatic and glad you survived! I see this all the time on the lake where we have a place. I think people think that because they are on water, it is safer. my SIL has a place on a lake and these two teenage brothers would go like 70 MPH, zipping in and out of other boats, and almost hit their boat. She complained to the parents and to no avail. Same brothers hit a tree going over 100 MPH in a car that same winter and died.

Looks like jet ski accident. We have a jet ski and like to think we are pretty responsible. I get so sick though of seeing other jet skiers flying around each other— super dangerous. Seems like that’s what happened— probably a buddy of his got too close and hit him. Ruined his career.

Agreed. I love my Taylor made irons. I have Taylor Made M4s, plus the M4 driver. Love them all. Used to have a Ping G-20 driver, which was also great. Got it used and was probably my favorite driver.

I am just sort of curious who the audience is for Barbie. It doesn’t seem to really fit any major demographic of movie goer.

the post office is so poorly run. It loses literally billions of dollars each year.

Will root for him. But I don’t think his body will hold up for a full season.

Agreed. he is going to have a monster year. Mark it down!

Stuff like this really gets me mad. Just totally reckless; how easy it would have been to have killed someone.

honestly, that is lame by the ranger. That’s not like Pebble Beach. If you were really that slow, he could have asked you to just speed it up/pick up your ball on certain shots, etc.

They really need to introduce each speaker before they speak. It gets confusing.

i hear you. 9 is too few for me. But like 12 or 13 is perfect!

Let me try one more time! 😁 I think you actually would really like golf based on what you said, and depending on your mindset. For me, it’s no different than walking and enjoying nature. That’s why I love walking the course and doing it early morning. It’s basically walking and enjoying the outdoors, along with the challenges of golfing. I sort of use it too as a way to vary my exercise. I play pickup bball three times per week, as my main exercise. But if I can golf once and play tennis another time (and maybe throw in yoga and a bike ride here or there), it’s just a nice variety. okay— have I convinced you?!

Yeah, if I can shoot like a 90-95, that is a great round for me. But I am happy anywhere in the 90s. I hear you on the family obligations. To take that into account, I normally play only 9, and try to do it on weekday mornings before work (like around 6:30 am). Or if on a weekend, then like at 6 PM. Can’t waste 4+ hours in the middle of a weekend day. what is amazing about golf though is the mechanics of the game and how varied it is. You have to have great mechanics and even understand a lot of the science behind it. But then you have to develop so many types of skills, like touch around the green, but power elsewhere. And one of the reasons I walk when I play (most of the time) is for the exercise. I walk some hilly courses with my heart rate monitor on. Walking 9 on a hilly course is like over 4 Miles and I can burn between 800-1000 calories. So you can exert yourself, if you want.

Where are the protests about how punters or kickers or long snappers don’t get paid either? it’s about market value of the position. This isn’t a RB league anymore. It’s a passing league. It’s also why QB, WR, and TE salaries have shot way up.

I started playing pretty regularly about 10 years ago, and love it. Mostly try to play 9 holes (walking) at least once per week, and mostly at Public courses, though I will get out to some buddies’ nice country clubs too. what’s amazing is that I feel like i have gotten so much better, and yet my scores pretty much stay the same!! Usually shoot like low or mid-90s over 18. I think that is like a 20-ish handicap. Just so hard to put everything together in a round!

my issue with McVay is mostly about his arrogance. I don’t care for his aura. Plus, all this early retirement talk to spend time with his fiancée seemed so classic Gen z. Lot of regular people out there that grind it out and have a wife and have kids!! I also didn’t care how he sort of throws players under the bus or out the door, like with Goff and Akers. But no doubt he has had some offensive success.

thanks! I am always looking for good podcasts. I do hope though that this isn’t a McVay love fest. I don’t care for him, though maybe my views will change after this.

Good thread. I have been wanting to try it to help my shoulders.

Don’t get me started on birthday parties for these 20-something’s. They have to take a week off of week for an appropriate birthday party.

Exactly. It would be a dream to take my two young boys to a single pre-season or TC activity. Like one time even.

Didn’t bother since I know non-SHs have no chance. Yeah, I am bitter.

I have always felt that my kids appreciated simpler vacations than really fancy ones too. Visiting family; a trip to see the sights in DC; trip to the lake. Don’t think you need to take little kids on these exotic trips they won’t remember. My wife and I prefer to leave the kids when we are going somewhere nice, so we can relax!

i actually heard Diggs showed up late and didn’t play in the softball game (not joking).
