  1. Fun round yesterday - 5 pars, two 7s, and two 8s on the front nine. 3 putts on lasts 4 holes.
  2. too bad RM came back. They really do get all the calls (though none directly impacted the comeback). CP on the board.
  3. 2-0 in Germany . . .
  4. Bayern's result in Moscow today is similar scenario.

  6. yea, I would imagine that is tough. That sucks Tim. I did not know you had broken your neck - scary.
  7. One thing I have learned in the last few weeks, is that I cannot hit anything longer than a 6 (except the driver). Stands to reason since most of our rounds are at a course where any decent drive puts you into wedge territory. Time for longer courses but boy are those exhausting when you horsefeathers long clubs. It probably just takes getting used to. My 3 wood is my favorite club, and that wasn't the case until I started playing real courses. After that, for a while I was just using half and quarter swings with my 3 wood or 5 wood to avoid the attrocites that were my long irons, but after I forced myself to use them, they have gotten almost as good as my fairway woods. Now I have a real shot of putting it on or very near the green all the way to 230 yards out. Progress! yes, that is it exactly. I don't spend enough time at the range to be consistent with those clubs and never hitting them hinders improvement and consistency. The range isn't the same anyway because of the lie factor. Did end yesterday's 6500 yard round by hitting the back of the green from 180 yards so that was nice.

  9. Had some "fun" playing in 20-30 mph wind yesterday. Tough tough day and difficult to evaluate how I did.
  10. USMNT to play Wales in Swansea in November window. Good match up to get set up.
  11. Definitely not weird at all to leave after 9 holes. I would also ask when you get there - not uncommon to have unadvertised rates. The local course here lets you play the back 9 first thing in the morning for about 1/3 price for instance. Also, you can play a twilight rate where you don't have enough light to play 18 anyway. I am slowly correcting my swing deficiencies - every time I think I have it figured out . . .
  12. Porto coach whining - hard to complain about referees while employing one of the biggest hacks of the last 20 years in Pepe.
  13. I would be very surprised if Madrid doesn't advance but I was under the impression Shakhtar is usually problematic because of the travel and weather more than because they are actually that strong. I just don't see BM or Inter being strong enough to both outrun RM. For the life of me, I don't understand what Zidane has against Vinicious. Today's game was in Madrid, and Shakhtar was missing half their roster due to Covid positives. It would be safe to bet on RM advancing still, but dropping their easiest fixture in a competitive group out of the gate isn't great for them either. yes, I was making the same point.

  15. wow, Madrid preps for this weekend's clasico by losing at home to Shahktar
  16. Disappointing that Gio and Adams not starting. Dortmund punished for it. If you were worried that Dest wouldn't play at Barca - Firpo subbed in . . . for Roberto. Presuming Dest moved from left to right at that point.
  17. I watched the first 77 minutes of spurs-hammers on Sunday night then went to bed realizing nothing more was going to happen in that game.
  18. didn't see that replay but they defined the upper part of the arm differently in the new rule. How Pickford wasn't sent off is beyond me. Rumor is van Dijk tore his ACL also. this is confirmed. at 29, he may never be the same again.

  20. his teammates's reaction is awesome. that power on the quick release is amazing
  21. yea, just look at the RD
  22. starlin surely you mean Russell
  23. They also want to catch up on the latest performance enhancing substances.
  24. I hate international breaks
