My friend's father is a boxing promoter so he asked if I wanted to go to a boxing match. It really doesn't appeal to me, but people keep telling me it's different when you're there live. I have a feeling it would be even less appealing live though. Anyway - has anyone ever been to a live boxing match and if so, is it fun?

I have been but it's not my thing.   The choice of seats makes a big difference.    Remember, there is no instant replay and if you blink or get up to use the restroom, you'll miss something.    Usually there are several matches.     The atmosphere is completely different watching live.    

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

A long time ago I was a sportswriter for a small paper up north and one particular summer a televised boxing event was held in town. They had me write a few preview stories leading up to the thing and then grounded me in the office on the night of the fights. Had me watch the damn thing on tv and write something up. 

That was when I started re-evaluating my initial career choice.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 609 - 2026-06-02 Was going to play, but the course was very obviously going to be slow, so went to the range instead. And even got (sorry @DeadMan), some putting practice in. Mostly got help at the range (a set of eyes), and mostly helped someone else at the putting green.

      Day 273 6‐2 more reconnecting the arm infront. Wrist arching through swing. Its looking better than it was, but no where close to where it needs to be. For some reason having trouble with the arching lately.

      Day 2 (2 Jun 26) - worked on keeping arms connected to torso by using stretch band.  Hit 1/4 backswing shots to reinforce the feel of the connection.

      Carl Pettersson is the Pancake Zone. The Swedish Pancake Club, Ranked - Fried Egg Golf Keegan Bradley just won his fifth PGA Tour event and became the latest member of the Swedish Pancake Club. Here's a ranking of that exclusive group. It's his sixth win in a decent length career. He's nondescript. I think it says he doesn't make waves, wins some second-tier events, hasn't had many close finishes in the top three in majors… and that only hard-core golfers follow the week-to-week. P.S. Five wins as personified by Carl Pettersson is the Pancake Zone. From Shotgun Start, I should say. It's not Carl per se, it's five wins.
