...NBA players with gazillion dollar contracts recording music and acting when they still can't make a free throw.

Not to mention running into the stands and throwing haymakers like he was playing Fight Night round 3.

The whole "Get in the hole" thing is really annoying.

You're right, someone yelling "get in the hole" at a NASCAR race is the worst.

A DRAW on a 3rd and long can actually be a higher percentage play than a pass IF the defense is playing alll out to stop the pass.

Stupid rules.

But I guarantee if Penske wanted to run his newly acquired Saturn's they would bend over backward in order to find a loop-hole. But then they kick out a single car team just trying to make it like Carl Long, who run a wore out engine, then fine him $200,000.00 because it is .001" oversize in each cylinder to me is preposterous!!

I would say it is the parents and coaches of youth golfers who do not take the time to instruct the young players in the total game that is golf. That would include respect for the course, the rules, and traditions. Repairing ball marks seems relatively unimportant to many, fixing divots? Forget it. Jamming the flagstick in while damaging the hole... well, I see it a lot.

O.K., this should put me in the dog house. The rude behavior of some golf fans from some parts of the country that yell at players while trying to set up for a shot. The players are for the most part just like we are and an occassional finger flip is appropriate in some cases.

Way to go Sergio!!!

Duffy,

Striving every day to be the person my dogs think I am.

When I heard the dumb carburator rule, it made me think they are just creating a hole that someone else would move into. Asia has a big stock car circuit that is based upon the smaller cars they sell there (I believe Jackie Chan is involved with it, owns a team). The small car street racing growing on the west coast shows there is interest in racing these type of cars. If they expanded the circuit from Asia to include races in the US they would probably find a market.

I certainly agree.

While I do find myself a NASCAR purist, I do believe that politics has ruined our "sport". Personally I feel that carb rule you mentioned is absurd given the fact that there is no longer any production cars running carbs any longer. And as a purist I wish it was the way it used to be as in "run what you brung". If a car company want to race their car they should be allowed to as long it meets safety and weight requirements and can maintain speed. Although that carb rule is outdated I do not seeing it change in the near future. One of the simple reasons for that is in safety. For instance, If you cant run a carb, then you have to run fuel injected, then you have to have a electric fuel pump(again illegal for safety reasons). Technology and politics have long been outrunning the sport of NASCAR; not by choice but due to purists like myself. We want the competition and the exposure but we don't want to give up the roots of the sport that we still enjoy and relate to when we take to the sport every Friday and Saturday night at our local dirt tracks. Its a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation that in my opinion has ruined CART and is in the process of splitting F1. Too much money in any sport brings politics, with politics brings separation and contempt from fans, which breeds failure and certain demise.

I never said someone yells get in the hole at a nascar race. That's why I pressed enter and wrote about nascar below it.

With the draw on 3rd and long, I didnt want to go into detail on how the running game was for the team doing it and how the pass/run defense was for the other team. My bad I guess.

A DRAW on a 3rd and long

I bolded two operative variables in your statement. Even so, if the percentages were 90% successful no matter what defense the other team is playing....it would still bother me. I understand why they run the play....I just don't like it there. It does keep the opposing defense honest though...

My other biggest pet-peeve in other sports is the lull between hockey and football season. It's a good thing I/we have golf to fill the void.

That reminds me of another one. Mike Goldberg saying over and over "It is all over!!!!" when someone gets knocked out or taps out in a UFC fight. DRIVES ME CRAZY.

SLOWWWW PLAY!!! DRIVES ME NUTZZ!!
Common, this is weekend golf not the pros, whats the point of standing 5 minutes over every shot, just makes them more nervous, and they still shank it.

And yeh, Newbies standing to close when I'm swinging!

People who call EVERYTHING in pickup basketball games. Also, any professional athlete whose performance spikes during contract years.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
