That's funny.  There's a Mt. Vernon 20 miles from where I live.

Yeah, its named after the real Mt. Vernon.

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

Its more like a hill.

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

That's essentially what the map shows!  I'll see if I can find it online.  It's pretty funny.

I found one but this is not the one I'm thinking of.  But funny nonetheless.  https://www.funnyordie.com/2011/7/12/17739382/the-map-of-america-as-seen-by-a-new-yorker

Totally inaccurate and unfair.

 

Nothing exists west of Pennsylvania.

I guess this means you wouldn't be amenable to relocating if we can't resolve which one is the real Washington.  I was going to propose we split the difference and place it somewhere around Oklahoma City.

Nooooooooo... not Oklahoma City.  I grew up in St. Louis and that was bad enough.

I was a little worried after posting it, seeing as where the Supersonics relocated and I didn't know if that was a bad memory for you.

It was a bad memory but at least now we have the Seattle Kraken.

I'm a transplant with no allegiance to the Washington Football Team.  I'm okay with shipping them off to Siberia, like you suggest.

Sales promotions.  Way back in 1985 it wasn't Chicago Bears it was 'Da Bears.    Then again if it's Detroit, it's just lame whatever it's called!

No Scott. And don’t ever mention such a foul name on this clean board. Lambeer!? Thomas?! Ugh.😉

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      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).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
