I don't not drink soda,

I have been having all sorts of grammar issues lately. I wish I could blame this on my mobile...

The one thing we know for sure is that he drinks at least some soda.

Golf Digest piece on unassailable truths. I'm pretty sure it's when a group lets you play through. Here's an unassailable truth. When you rush to publish and depend on grammar and spell checkers, you're going to make a mistake.

I hate people saying "Pacific" rather than "Specific", and I hate a word that was imported from the USA which is "Overly". 

In my bag (Motocaddy Light)

Taylormade Burner driver, Taylormade 4 wood, 3 x Ping Karsten Hybrids, 6-SW Ping Karsten irons with reg flex graphite shafts. Odyssey putter, 20 Bridgestone e6 balls, 2 water balls for the 5th hole, loads of tees, 2 golf gloves, a couple of hand warmers, cleaning towel, 5 ball markers, 2 pitch mark repairers, some aspirin, 3 hats, set of waterproofs, an umbrella, a pair of gaiters, 2 pairs of glasses. Christ, it's amazing I can pick the bloody thing up !!

"Moving forward" is a euphemism for "umm...".  Back in the day; the first two letters in the English alphabet were A, and umm, B.  These days the letters are A, and moving forward, B.  We could, perhaps, agree to abbreviate the term...then again maybe not.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Well, it's actually something people use in place of "in the future" or "from now on" but I kind of agree that I don't care for it much.  My wife uses it all the time. ;)

Kids maybe?  :-P  I used to say pasketti instead of spaghetti when I was, like, 5 ... and it seems like the same type of mistake.

Yeah, it's redundant.  I mean what's the alternative? "From here and into the past, we will ...":hmm:  

But I've probably said it, too. :8)

My nephew used to say "paslami" for pepperoni when he was little. I still use that one.

The book below  is a great read on the development of the English language. You would be surprised that many words the English attribute to Americans are actually older English words.

We did a bit of research online and maybe it doesn't make any difference and players do it because other players do it, but apparently it could be because it puts off your opponent (even if only subconsciously your brain uses some processing power to check the sound and make sure it isn't a sabre tooth tiger) but also there was some research that suggested that a grunt can help you hit a few percent faster.

I felt out of breath while reading this....

Ms. Volmer would have just put a red line through it and wrote, "try again"!
