UCONN losing definitely helped my bracket after Drake lost. I won't lose too much in that area because not many had Western Kentucky and San Diego getting the upset wins.

No predictions from me, but I'm hoping it's the Tar Heels.

I was lucky enough to be in the RBC Center (Raleigh) for the Heels' 1st & 2nd round wins over Mount St. Mary's & Arkansas and thoroughly enjoyed watching #10 seed Davidson knock off #7 seed Gonzaga Friday and rally from 17 down Sunday to send the #2 seed Hoyas back to D.C.

My brackets are basically busted. I had Georgetown in my Final 4. I still have UNC winning it all over Memphis in the finals in one and beating UCLA in the other. Unfortunately I am likely out of the money.

I really think Michigan State will beat Memphis anyway. State is one of those teams that underachieves in the regular season, but plays a very tough schedule and tends to do well in the tourney. Izzo is a great coach and Memphis looked very average in their last game.

I personally have texas, they are a very good team, although i don't think they are better than unc. However, the final four in san antonio...how much better can it get for them? I've only lost one elite 8 team so far, and called the san diego and siena upsets, so as of right now I'm in a good position to hopefully get some golfin' $$.

I had UNC over Georgetown and Memphis over UCLA with UNC winning it all in one. And the same in the other but with UNC over UCLA in the final. Unfortunately I'm out of the running in the larger one of them. Even if I get the rest of them right, there are people between me and the trophy that have the same picks. I have not checked in the smaller one.

I had 3/4 (had Texas beating Memphis) of the Final Four, KAN/UCLA final, with KAN champion.

<-- Davidson alum! GO CATS!

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
