He'll be remembered mostly for Bond, but I've watched The Hunt for Red October (eagle) so many times, that's the movie I most associate him with now.

One... Ping... Only...

He was a really good actor. The Untouchables was great too. I loved all the people who imitated him like Darrell Hammond on SNL.

I actually liked the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.  I kind of gave up on Connery after The Avengers, but all is forgiven now.

Mr. Connery had the ability to make even a bad movie pretty good. And a face and voice that made women swoon.

I've tried three times this year to get through The Avengers and I just can't.  But the teddy bear scene makes me optimistic each time that it will be a good movie because that scene is so wonderful.

Also missing from this conversation:  The Rock.

Not missing:  Zardoz, although he was in that.

   I watched it once, and once only.  I caught a few minutes on cable a few years back, but quickly switched to something else.

I watched Rising Sun dozens of times back when we had one of those old school huge satellites.  Had a really good Connery 'kohi' impersonation for a while, too.  It's been forever since I've seen a lot of his movies.  Sounds like a good time to revisit a few.

I am about 95% sure I saw The Avengers in theaters.  I really like the TV show, and the Rigg years in particular. 

I read Rising Sun in sixth grade and I remember enjoying the book.  I am not sure now that I understood what I was reading at the time though.  Either way, I think I saw the movie once.

He seemed like a pretty cool guy...and someone you would enjoy playing a round of golf with.  He managed to always be himself while playing different characters.  Okay...his accent in The  Untouchables was pretty awful...but he was Sean Connery...we can let that slide.

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."

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
