Very true. Dogs are so needy. My cat hasnt even acknowledged my existance in weeks. Its awesome.

speak for yourself. i've got three cats, constantly vying for my attention. mostly because they want me to do things for them. more food, water, let them out on the balcony to play in my herb garden and scoop all the dirt out of my gf's tomato plants. they've got lots of personality. one of my cats is fully convinced that she can talk in a manner that i understand exactly what she's saying. it's quite annoying sometimes, but it's still pretty cute all the same.

Thanks for a good laugh. Glad the puddy tat is OK. I have a German Shorthaired Pointer that loves to retrieve golf balls, although he does not like to drop them. He barks like an idiot when I am getting ready to hit a shot which trains my head how to deal with distractions during the swing.

Hah. Missed this somehow. Brightened up a dull day. Glad Neko is OK. Got two Birman/moggy crosses at home and I know how I'd feel if I accidentally whacked one of them in the head.

Put a lacrosse ball through the drywall of a brand new renovated basement. I had a few chairs with a sleeping bag drawn across them so I could throw the ball into it. Didn't really think about what might happen if I were to miss. Mom wasn't too happy

Testosterone was what made me buy $2000 Italian mastiffs when I didn't have the room or the long-term desire to keep them. I just gave them up last weekend. They're on a 15 acre farm now having a great time. I'm both relieved and a little sad.

(Meanwhile, I'm planning on working out at the local MMA gym tonight. 36 years old, a year off from training... what could go wrong?)

Some guy named Fedor asks you to spar with him?

"a little sad"... if I were out $2000.00 I be more than a little sad.

It was several years ago so I don't miss the money. Sure I would like to have it back, I definitely learned a lesson.

My daughter convinced me to take her cat for a short while......7 years ago. Keeps my yellow lab occupied (sometimes) and they both try to sit on me as soon as I plop down on the couch.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
