My name is John Linneman, I'm 49, divorced, from St. Louis, Missouri. I play often and shoot in the mid 80's. I'm a flight attendant, I move the US troop to and from the war in Iraq and all over the world.
I didn't introduce myself when I started on this site. I don't any other forums and I don't blog or any of that stuff, so if I do something wrong please let me know.
Something already went a little off course for me here on this site. I wrote a thread about something or another and some person I guess didn't agree with my opinion and for what ever reason instead of sticking to the topic first he ripped into me first about his different opinion (which is fine) but, then he got very personal with his attack on me. He was totally off the track of the conversation and said some things about me that didn't sit well with me so I took him on in a little battle of words. He felt I was boasting because I wrote down a yardage I hit a certain club on a certain shot, I put this info in because it was part of the conversation. I didn't bother to include all the circumstances that came with it. (down hill, down wind, front pin,...) My bad for not just letting it go, but I didn't know how to sit back and let this guy bad mouth me so I shouted back at him in an attempt to defend myself. A few others joined in on it, it got ugly, the thread was shut down. I should've learned from my minimal expirence on YouTube that people love to hate other people on the inter-net, they love to sit in their dark rooms, keyboard in front of them and start fights with people they don't even know and when they don't even know the entire situation of which they are arguing.
Haters are haters,....
I'm glad I'm not one of them.

My nic name is Scuba (it's a long story)
I go by Heyscuba on this site.



Peace to all.

Welcome to the site.

I will point out that it takes two people to have a fight - otherwise it's just one person spouting off. I didn't think it was entirely appropriate that you spent so much time talking about that fight here, either. Put it behind you and move on.

Welcome to the site.

As I agree with you that it takes 2 to fight, but it only takes one to start one,... I'll delete that whole part,... (I do listen)

Welcome to the site, you're going to run into people like that everywhere. You were unfortunate to run into one on your first post, we don't have many like that here.

PS- Get your signature quote from the movie "21" by any chance? Or just a blackjack player/fan?

yeah, read the book,... "Bringing down the house,..." and saw 21,...

I don't play much Black Jack though,... but next time you sink a long putt, yell out,... "winner, winner,... chicken dinner,..." it's a fun line,...

Westwood thinks the crowd are being to well behaved and that he was expecting more hostility,hence the Boo Who? comment.I think he is trying to get a more hostile atmosphere going.It wouldnt be the RyderCup without a few Jeers .

oops the Europeans need to pull their socks up ,down in 3 matches

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • 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).
