One of the best things about this tournament is the course. Sherwood CC is an amazing place, and it shows great on TV. I hope these guys really appreciate where they get to play.

You want bad science, look at Gatorade. :-)

From their website:

Fuse focus provides revolutionary energy and body replenishment products that combine cutting-edge body absorption technology with two proprietary formulas for powering professional athletes and weekend warriors. Utilizing our unique, bonding technology, Fuse Science has a more effective electrolyte and energy delivery system for consumers ranging from the serious athletes to working mothers.

Errr....how about eating and drinking?

Seems even worse than Gatorade!!!

I rest my case.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

You haven't made a case!

How about eating and drinking? Guess what? When someone's dehydrated, they use an IV. They don't just make them drink water. There are better, faster ways of getting things into your system than "eating and drinking." I'm not saying they've found a great way, but it's certainly possible to beat "eating and drinking."

I was referring to the over the top advertising lingo.

And I'm sure that "working mothers" can avoid the intensive care unit by drinking water rather than having IVs thrust into their weary and exhausted forearms.

But... as I said, the fact that the Powerband people have been forced to admit that they are frauds doesn't stop quite a few pros form STILL wearing them. So obviously it (the BS advertising) works.

The language in the bit I quoted is enough to make anyone more than a little cynical about this company's ability to create an " electrolyte and energy delivery system".


But I'm sure that they've got pages of "data" which prove the benefits of their snake oil. Good on them. There'll be thousands of suckers who buy it - just as there are millions who buy bottled tap water at more than double the proce of petrol.

Maybe that eating and drinking isn't all it's cracked up to be.  According to the European Union drinking water won't prevent dehydration.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Good find.

I always was a bit suspicious of people who claimed that water hydrates.

Thank heavens for the EU for saving us!!!!

My buddy is about 10 miles from the golf course and he says the wind is at a 35-40mph clip right now with forecasted gusts of up to 60 mph!

It's going to be fun. It's cool that there is wind, but I hope it isn't too bad

I would be surprised if Tiger doesn't finish at least top 3.

-3 through 4 - tied for 1st

Wind not an issue I guess?

I like the logo. The tournament should be fun no matter what. Is there a chance of hail this year?

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
