In tennis you can have a very loopy forehand stroke, and that can lead to a "hitch" in the golf swing, imo (Furyk).  I don't like that.

I know tennis builds up my forearm (right) and I seem to get added distance, especially on drives.  Is it good to have one arm more dominate over another like that? R>L. Also builds the legs and give you endurance - good things.

But I don't think I can excel at either sports if I continue to to play both.

If you really want to excel at one, I agree the other will have to take a back seat simply due to time constraints. I got back into tennis about 6 yrs ago and after 2 yrs of playing 3x per week advanced to about a 5.0, while playing golf about 1/month at an index of about 18. Last year I joined a local CC, and those sports have switched. Now I play G 2-3x per week and I'm a 9hc and T about 1/month and I'm probably a 4.0 now...

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.
