I know I am uptight. I just like a little professionalism, is all. The old axiom, "act like you've been there before." It just pains me to see American athletes on a global stage acting a fool while the bulk of the other nations are keeping their cool. This is not excluded to Phelps, either. This goes back to Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh dry humping in Athens and Brandy Chastaine taking off her shirt. Just in general, I hate it when "our nation's best athletes" uphold the "ugly American" stereotype. The Dream Team vs Angola...the skiers in Turin...this isn't an isolated thing.

Lol. I think you mean the "redeem" team.

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

When you refer to acting professional like a bulk of other nations keeping their cool... are you referring to the communistic ones where the athletes are trained to act like robots. As an american, we should be able to enjoy our civil liberties and be allowed to show emotion. If they do not have any emotion... then there probably isnt any love for what they are doing. Most of the athletes that are competing for communistic countries arent doing it for love... they are competing because 1) they are forced to, and 2) it is a business decision for their families to live comfortably. If you dont understand emotion, especially with the MM KW comment, then I question if you have ever played any sort of competitive sports.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon

      It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
