I am. I’ve been an organ donor since as long as I can remember. My late BIL was a recipient of a liver many years ago. He lived another 7 years, but it made a great difference. A close friend of mine got a kidney from a coworker. I cannot see a more honorable thing to do to help someone if I pass.

I voted no because I have a medical condition that would not allow me to be a donor.

I think I am...not sure. But I had cancer (after originally signing up years before), does that cancel me out?

Not necessarily. Depends on the cancer and it’s affect on your organs.

Funny, and yes have been since the 80’s when I got my driver license. First few years I was on look out for roaming teams of hmo organ harvesters, but that never materialized.

I don't think anyone would want my liver.

But I have donated my golf swing to any 25 handicapper who wants to improve a bit.

I fully support organ donation... it is a wondrous thing.

Oh my gosh, I remember when people feared passing out at parties and waking up in bathtub full of ice with a note saying something about "We've harvested your kidney, call 911." Or some crazy s#it like that. I knew know people that used to believe that was a thing.

Yes, for many years.

last summer my 51 year old cousin died from an aneurysm and my understanding is her organs helped many. I do not recall now but think they said over 30 people were helped.

Note: She passed in a similar manner to Sweeney but she was not an asshole.

Yea I was in my 20’s and waking up in hotels from Kenya to Tokyo, I certainly heard those tales, and for the traveling years it was in the back of my head. Somehow life worked out.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • WUTiger
      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
