Excellent. My point is I’ve spent a minimum of 400 hours studying, treating, testing, conference calls with the CDC, local health departments, infectious disease doctors, positive Covid patients both

There’s no reason to test them for antibodies. Those results have no bearing on ability to play. Also, the ticket said ‘NP’ for type of test which is Nasopharyngeal...which is not used for Ab testing.

If they’re social distancing then masks simply aren’t necessary. Playing golf with a mask is not necessary unless other people are all over you.

Why was post #72, my rebuttal got deleted?  It wasn't offensive or anything just a well reasoned response.

Listened to the NLU podcast that came out today. I guess cam champ, who tested positive, has taken 3 more tests since then that have all come back negative. There is so much gray area here.

I'm not even sure it's gray area so much as whatever the false positive and false negative rates for the tests are.  I haven't paid close enough attention to even know if those values are known.

60 minutes did a report on a test kit that was suppose to check for antibodies.   The idea of the test kit was to determine if you had the Coronavirus at one time.   I believe they found that only about 20% of the test were accurate.   I believe it will be quite some time before we have an accurate test.

Problem with these tests are that some of the tests have a very low sensitivity and/or selectivity.  In the beginning, CDC's tests were basically useless.  Even some test now, you see them to be only 60-70% accurate.  I am sure other tests have much higher sensitivity and selectivity.  But we don't know which test people are actually using.

Regardless, no test is 100% accurate.  So it is not surprising to see some false positive (and probably some false negative as well.

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
