I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF AND THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO IT (AS MUCH AS MY SONS BALL SCHEDULE WILL LET ME) BUT I WENT OUT WITH A COUPLE FRIENDS THAT SHOOT AROUND THE MID 90'S SATURDAY AND PLAYED A ROUND. STARTED OFF ON THE BACK 9 AND MADE PAR THEN BOGEY (THAT SHOULDA BEEN PAR) THEN CAME #12 PAR 3 SLIGHTLY UPHILL ELEVATED GREEN (MY GPS ON MY PHONE SD 168YDS) AND I HAVE TO ADMITT THIS HOLE IS NOT BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME IN THE PAST.... SO ANYWAY I APPROACHED THE BALL WITH A 6 IRON STRUCK IT GOOD STRAIGHT TO THE FLAG STICK JUST A LITTLE LEFT OF IT, IT HIT THE FRONT OF THE GREEN AND KICKED EVER SO SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT.... MY BUDDY LOOKED AT ME AND SAID THAT PROBABLY WENT IN THE HOLE, I LAUGHED. THEY HIT WE DROVE TO THE TOP OF THE GREEN AND I COULDNT SEE MY BALL THERE BALLS WAS LONG AND THE OTHER WAS TO THE LEFT OF THE GREEN. I SAID TO THEM SURELY IT DIDNT HAVE THAT MUCH SPEED TO ROLL OF THE GREEN.... HE SD "MAN I BET U ACED IT" I WENT INTO A SLOW TROT TO THE CUP... AND TO MY DISBELIEF IT WAS IN THE CUP!!!!!! I COULDNT BELIEVE IT.... BCSE I HAVE NEVER CAME AS CLOSE TO 10 FT FROM THE CUP ON A PAR 3. I HAVE TO SAY WAS SUPER EXCITED. BY NO MEANS DID I MEAN TO I JUST TRY TO GET CLOSE. HAHA. FOUR GUYS ON ANOTHER TEE BOX SAW IT GO IN BCSE WHEN WE WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE GREEN ONE WAS HOLDING THE "TOUCHDOWN" SIGN UP WITH HIS HANDS. I THOUGHT HE WAS SAYING I WAS THAT CLOSE.I AM NOT THE TYPE GOLFER THAT HITS CONSISTENT AND WILL PROB NEVER DO IT AGAIN!!!!! BTW I SHOT THE BEST SCORE I HAVE EVER PLAYED (88) AND SHOULDA BEEN A 86.... BUT I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SCORE AND THE SHOT!!!! THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE MY EXCITMENT FROM SATURDAY THAT CARRIED OVER THE WEEKEND......

Nice story and congrats on the Ace. By the way how much did the round of drinks cost you after the game? You did take your friends out for a drink after didn't you?

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
