OK, I'll bite.

Yeah, we have all kinds of names for people from different geographic regions. But those names may change depending on who's doing the name calling. There are so many where do you start?

We call people from NY city "Yackers" up here. Vermonters call anybody from away "Flatlanders." Stupid, but true. They'll even call someone from the Rocky Mountain states a flatlander. People from Boston are "Bostonians" or "Brahmins". Natives of Long Island and the SE New England coast are known as "bonnackers", but almost no one uses that word any more, probably because there are no more bonnackers left. People outside Vermont may call Vermonters "Woodchucks". People from Maine may be called "Downeasters", "Mainers" or "Maineiacs." People who aren't very nice may call people from Massachusetts "M*******s" (usually after being cut off on the highway). People from Nova Scotia may be "Bluenoses" or if you are French, an "Acadian." For that matter, you have "Cajuns" in Louisiana. Newfoundlanders may be called "Newfies." I'm sure there are many more nicknames in the Northeast that I've missed.

Sometimes we use team names to describe people from different states (e.g. Buckeyes for people from Ohio, Sooners for people from Oklahoma, Razorbacks for people from Arkansas, etc.)

There are hundreds of examples.

In my bag:

Driver: Wishon 915CFE, 420cc, SK Fiber Lite Revolution I
Irons: Tommy Armour 845 FS - PW - 3
Hybrid: Adams Idea 21 deg.Wedges: Cleveland 900 52 deg., 56 deg. TA588 60 deg.Putter: Generic mallet style

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
