Hi, if you are reading this essay then congratulations, you are still alive. And if you are alive, then you have either gotten the COVID-19 vaccine...

 

Worth a read by everyone. Cathartic to ~60% of us.

It would be "to the point" if she eliminated 99% of the "f***s." But those are the entertaining part.

It's not "to the point" at all, but that's part of why it's so good.

But what about the whiners who say that you have to be loving, kind, gentle and understanding of the people who won’t get vaccinated?   Who will just dig in because they are being criticized?**

To the @David in FL- nobody wants you to die of COVID or even really get sick-We just want you to see the error in your ways and to be a mature and intelligent and thoughtful member of society-to act like an adult- and get the f***ing shot.

Because like the f***ing article says-We do care about you.-That is why we kept pushing it.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

It will sadly fail to get the ignorant to do the responsible thing and get the vaccine.

The ignorant don't or won't or can't read articles like this.  They just don't wanna.  Especially since it doesn't follow their agenda.

This cracks me up.  Our local newspaper and papers around the state always tell us in advance when DUI patrols will be on the streets at night.  Guess what, lot's of people still get arrested for DUI during this period.  They simply didn't read about the patrols... 'cause they don't wanna read.  Their reasons for not reading any news are about as dumb as those who won't read about Covid.

I have met some of them.

That seems within the "Law" (bad law in my view) to me.  They are not "Mandating" a vaccine, just offering a discount.  I've seen restaurants offer discounts if a student gets an "A" on their report card or if they show a student ID or even if you have a ticket stub from some event.  How is this any different?  I just hope it is good food.

Researchers found that surgical masks impede the spread of COVID-19 and that just a few, low-cost interventions increase mask-wearing compliance.

people are either worried, most of whom have the shot, or not worried.  the worried vaccinated are calling for mandates, masks, forced vaccines.  i'm vaxxed, but yelling at the folks who aren't to change their mind isn't likely to work.  I think folks that are holding out would be more likely to get vaxxed, wear masks, not fight mandates etc. if there was a clear goal.  0 covid isn't happening, and now saying we need a third shot is not gonna help.

    • My favourite club in my bag. Have it with a hzrds 6.0 shaft (probably the more important part) and I love it
    • I just ordered a Titleist TSR 2 #4 hybrid to replace my 3 driving iron. 
    • Wordle 1,048 3/6 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Well, I have a 2 hybrid, 4 hybrid and then play 6 iron onwards.  My best clubs are probably the 4 hybrid and the PW.  What I find is that loft is your friend in general which is why my 4 hybrid is so much better than my 2 hybrid.  Definitely disproportionately more so than the 5 or so degrees of difference in loft.  If you have hybrids, play them.  And consider loft as your friend.  Invariably you will get up to a loft where anything less will not get you more distance because of your club head speed.  Essentially the faster you swing the less lofted a club you can hit effectively.  For me it is probably a 4 hybrid and maybe a 7 iron though I could improve both with practice
    • Off to my home state of Massachusetts this morning. 9 this afternoon,  18 tomorrow,  and 18 on Saturday. Hoping for some good scores but will be just happy playing with good friends.
