Regarding the new DC team name:   First thing, they need to get the word Washington out of their name, or at least pair it with DC.  The real Washington is out west.

How about the DC Currents?  That way it would apply to anyone who was playing for them at the time.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

I would change the name to the Washington Swamp Rats.

Too late. I already got that one trademarked.

My wife suggested "The DC Comics".

She said the cheerleaders could dress as Wonder Woman you could have your choice of Batman, Superman, or other logos on the helmets. Or maybe home unis are Batman colors, away unis are Superman etc...

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

And at halftime there could be an open mic for the offense to tell jokes...

My second option was the Washington Losers. That’s what they’re good at.

Way to really make me miss the late L.A. Avengers football team.  There's someone who could have done a great job with tie-in marketing if they had survived to 2014 or so.

 Hey now, I think the "real Washington" is the one that came 60 years earlier, where George Washington lived and worked, and that sits just up the river from Mt. Vernon!  😉😋

That's funny.  There's a Mt. Vernon 20 miles from where I live.  You must be an East Coaster.  Have you seen that map of the U.S. from an East Coaster's perspective?

There isn’t even a mountain at Washington’s Mt Vernon. It’s next to the Potomac. Must be a Virginia thing.

Please share.   Being from the upper mid-west, my perception of the east is that the country is non-existent west of the Mississippi River

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
