And maybe @Vinsk can offer his thoughts, but maybe we will see more online consultations with doctors for routine things. 

I think this will definitely bring more awareness to telemedicine. Technology will improve as to being able to do more thorough assessments via telecommunication.

I wonder how the charities the PGA Tour donates to each week are making out.

Crime is down, in general.  The website in my city that provides jail bookings is down to about 3 or 4 per day, from the usual 15-20.  I guess even criminals are staying in place.  These are interesting times.

For me, working from home has been great.  No commute obviously, not that mine was so long before, but zero minutes beats 30.  And instead of walking to the gas station and getting a snack when it’s time for a break, I go outside and play some street hockey with the kids.

And we are being better with our food too.

What recipes?   Always looking for anything quick and easy.    

We did curbside grocery pickup for the first time too!    I'm becoming an older millennial!

 

One was Orange Chicken and another was stuffed bell peppers. I'll have to ask my wife where she found them but it was online from the same source I believe.

We've been using it a lot, and the crock pot as well. Make big meals and have plenty of leftovers. Made Italian beef in the crock pot today. I might have grabbed a different chuck roast had I been in the store myself but with this pickup thing you have to just go with the flow. Those kids at the store are doing yeoman's work.

My old but trusty bag is filled with clubs I built...Integra SoooLong 450 10.5°, Jackaroo II 13* 16* 23*  hybrids, Dynacraft irons and wedges...plus a sweet Tad Moore Peach putter.

We haven't eaten out as much (had gotten into a bad habit) and saved that money. People are hopefully getting into a better habit of washing their hands...lol (we will find out once the restaurants open back up). My 401k should be even better when the stock prices come back seeing as how I am buying more for the same money now.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Personally, it is a massive thing I've been able to continue to work. Other than that it gets thinner fast.

I guess not having hockey means going to bed earlier than I would otherwise, so I'm better rested.

I think that our standards for cleaning and sanitizing in all work environments will be permanently changed. Hopefully we will build new habits of washing our hands thoroughly and coughing/sneezing into our arms instead of our hands. We will also start implementing more touch free technology (automatic doors, hand dryers, etc.). All of this will help prevent the spread of cold, flu and other germs in the future. Handshakes will become a thing of the past.

Finally, there has been some funny 💩 posted as people have WAY too much time one their hands.

Thankfully, my wife is a seashell hoarder. Anyone know how to use them?

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
