I was in my back yard working on my swing, when my neighbor started talking to me.  He was telling me that him and his father and started golfing recently and went on to tell me how one day recently he did great and then, later, it all went down hill.  I told him, ' Do you know what that is called?'....... 'golf'.... :)

What on earth does this post mean? And from what I can see, the OP was talking about golf, in the "golf talk" forum.

Not a big crossover (no pun intended) of fans between what I was referring to and golf, it seems.

What the hell the race have to do with not liking basketball.  The lack of effort by NBA players in the regular season turns me off to pro. But college, it is 100% every game.  No wonder college basketball is so much more popular.

Apparently you don't understand the meaning of the word "jest". Here, let me look that up for you: "to speak in a playful, humorous, or facetious way; joke."

I'd like to see some hard evidence to back your claim that college basketball is "more popular."

I'm not looking this up but look at ratings for big conference games with top teir teams and NBA regular season games.  I really don't know anyone who watches pro basketball until play offs.

I'm 100% confident that more people follow/watch/enjoy college basketball.  Productivity doesn't go down in offices for the NBA play offs.

    • Day 3 (3 May 25) - played 18 (went solo) this afternoon at one of sister courses to my regular course.  Went with the three tee box format (Golld-White-Red as this adds a mix to the “I always play this club as my approach on this hole” routine).  The front presented issues as  the greens are suffering from the heat and lack of rain.  Add in 15-20 mph gusty winds and it’s not a walk in the park. It really made the approach reads a little hard to figure out - of the 3 pars on the front, two were GIR, the other a nGIR.  The rest were coming up short and that meant a lot of two putt bogies and a big old dbl- managed a 43.  The back greens are not suffering as bad and were more receptive to rolls of the rock. Finished that side with a two over 37 (par 35) that included 6 GIR that resulted in 5 para and 1 birdie, the other 3 were two putt bogies.  Was a good test of course management and not being afraid to club up or down.  
    • Day 287: range session today. Worked on my drill with the wrist turn, also trying to get my hips moving more. Looking a little better. Then went and worked on putts inside 10 feet for about 20 minutes. 
    • Day 12: Kentucky Derby Day Hit the range for about 30 minutes before it started to rain pretty hard. Good session!
    • Day 215 - 2025-05-03 Hit some balls at Downback. 🙂 @NatalieB is a college graduate now.
    • Purchased a new set of Ping G410 irons with True Temper XP 95 (R300) steel shafts (4-PW) at a good price. Had moved to graphite shafts many years ago (spanning various irons sets from Titleist, TaylorMade and Mizuno) thinking they would be appreciably lighter to help my slower swing speed. My weekend golf partners told me to quickly re-shaft the Pings to graphite. I must admit: (1) these clubs feel as light as any graphite shafts (2) I am hitting these irons the purest I have ever experienced in an iron (3) they fly straight!  Just looking for reinforcement to stick with the steel shafts.
