On air now! I think. Will try and stream myself in a bit. The schedules below conflict, but you get the idea...

Edit: I was wrong, not on now. Looks like 4pm.

I think it's on until Saturday or Sunday. I'd recommend going. It'll be pretty cool & get to see some future stars of golf.

Some 36 year old dude has reached the quarterfinals. Would be pretty interesting if he went further.

He has a full time job - desk jockey. Yay "old" guys, ha ha flat bellies. http://golfweek.com/news/2014/aug/14/amateur-golf-nathan-smith-us-amateur-round-32/

Assuming you are talking about two time Mid Amateur Champion, two time (3 time?) Walker Cup player Nathan Smith from Pittsburgh. He's a +4 handicap and can really play.

This is what's great about almost everyone having a video camera on their person.

Gunn Yang claimed the US Amateur on the 35th hole. Koreans seem to kick ass in the US AM. Danny Lee & Byeong Han An both won. Neither have done jack shit since.

Yep. Yang looked like he hit the ball a long ways, though. Which I think Danny Lee did too. It will be interesting to see how he progresses.

Yang ranked 776, had back surgery 15 months ago, recently lost scholarship to San Diego State. Boom! Wins amateur. All is well. Talk about highs and lows. http://mobile.golfweek.com/news/2014/aug/17/amateur-golf-gunn-yang-wins-2014-us-amateur/?templates=mobile http://www.golfchannel.com/news/ryan-lavner/yang-completes-improbable-journey-us-am-title/

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
