ha, lol, but to be truthful, i barely reach 5 foot, but i am very strong and team captain on the wrestling team, so, thanks for the info on playing, it will be between golf and baseball though, so i wait...


If you are due for a growth spurt and expect to reach about 6' 220 pounds, pick baseball.

If you expect to be average size, pick golf.

The above assumes that you are looking for a college scholarship.

Oh, and don't play video games. It will waste your life away.

your also right about the scholarship, looking for harvard, the 4.0 gpa school

Hmmm...Not only hit 300 yard drives as a beginning golfer but good at the short game, hit home runs easily, captain of the wrestling team, AND smart enough to get into Harvard.

Good luck. After reading about 1 of your posts, I've already declared you ineligible for Harvard. This post alone...

Someone mixing up your and you're isn't exactly Harvard material...

And they don't give a rats ass about your 4.0...any idiot can get a 4.0 in high school.

The maximum GPA is 4.8 something, if you take all honors and AP classes. I disagree, not ANY idiot can get a 4.0 GPA :-P

Harvard is not looking for only kids with perfect scores, they are looking for the top 2% of intelligence while being well rounded in other aspects of life. (Like hitting a ball 300 yards, captain of the wrestling team, etc.)

You don't really know from one post. I wrestle all the time with my stupid phone that substitutes the word "Ye s " with "Ues" and other such nonsense. :loco:

As far as Harvard is concerned, any idiot can get a 4.0 GPA in High School.

And I looked at the other posts...still convinced.

I agree that not everyone can get into such a prestigious school.

He's only 13, and can still aspire to it.

You never know...

I can aspire to bang Kate Upton.

I'm guessing our odds are similar.

Getting into Harvard is not astronomical. Your aspiration is comical. :-P

Does Harvard have a golf team? If so, I bet the OP could get a free ride, since he hits it 300+ yards and doesn't even play golf.

Men's full ride athletic scholarships for anything other than football or basketball are pretty rare.

Equivalency sports almost always give partials because of the scholarship limitations. Girls have a much better chance since they don't have a football team with 85 scholarships.

Harvard is for wannabees!  You want to go to St. Copious of Northern Nebraska.

I'm saying the odds are similar...slim to none, and slim took a vacation...

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
