Tiger isn't a charity case.  He has won more than anyone currently on tour and has won in dramatic fashion while  "players" have had to watch him sink putts in their face and beat them. There i

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.

I doubt that you know that for sure.

I don't have the energy to look into it, but it's not like they're selling this stuff in Wal-Mart (or are they?). So it's not like they're trying (yet?) to foist a bunch of crap on people.

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!!!!

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

      Day 2: did my Evolver drill in the mirror.  No club, just did the motion. And this time I am confident I am doing it correctly.

      Nothing is assured and lots of talented young athletes in many sports fail to achieve greatness. as was said, injuries, growth, lots of things can come into play, And let’s let honest, over the years a few players have been branded “The Next Tiger Woods” and yet there is only 1 Tiger Woods. My initial point was if he can do a great breakout it may capture the attention of a new generation.  Back in the 70s it was Secretariat in horse racing, we also had Jordan in basketball and let’s not forget Tiger for golf.  Stories get people interested and I think golf needs a new story. I will pull for him and hope it works out but there are so many factors that come into play you just do not know, But I can hope.

      Day 114: 4/19/24 Chipping and putting practice. Tried a little hinge and hold with good results, which has never been the case during a real round. Playing tomorrow and eager to play.

      I don't think I've found any of the Good Good stuff, or the guys that were once a part of it, very interesting.
