If the attorney had written this in real understandable English, someone would have questioned whether he was worth the $400 or $500 or whatever hourly rate he was billing.  If they can't understand it, they figure he knows something that they don't.

Ha ha.. yupp. Here's another gem filled with redundancy:

'NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:'

In consideration of the err.. consideration?? Therefore, foregoing,..follows??

BTW, this document is straight from the corporate offices of a major automotive OE..

Nicholas courses are mean and evil. I love them. :-)

Not trying to pick on you, Shane, but I hate when people can't spell names. "Jim Nance" is another one. My own is a third. Particularly when my name, or Nicklaus's name, or whomever's is right there where you can see it.

C'mon man! :-D One of the best ever deserves to have his name spelled properly!

This one isn't from TST, but from an article on MyGolfSpy (which does have poor writing in general, but this was particularly awful):

Sufficed to say our recent test of Costco’s Kirkland Signature Golf Ball has raised product awareness.

Did you mean historic sites?

Did you mean Emma?

Did you mean International Women's Day?

Very unique, how can something be very unique?

I'll just stop at this point.

Don't forget the tense shift either ... she "visited" ... "and dropping" ... ;)

(Not to mention that this isn't a Women's Day thing for her - she does that all the time):beer:

Please stop writing "suppose to" instead of "supposed to" and "use to" instead of "used to" .Thanks. ;-)

Tense used to be "a thing", you know.

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

You don't expect him to be able to write proper "English" do you?

I noticed grammatical errors in his Twitter timeline, sometimes you can tell mistakes are typos or no time to type, they don't seem to be of that variety, I think he skipped out on English class.

    • Went back to check to make sure I had captured all the “birds”…best finish to date - with 13 birds and 1 eagle…..4 holes escaped - but I did at least par them.  Looking forward to 2025 and making it a full card of birdies or better…
    • Day 252 (11 Jan 25) - Got in some 54° wedge work off the mini-mat in the backyard - hitting from the tight lies side of the mat.  Worked on distance control - picking a landing target ahead of where I wanted the ball to finish.  Solid session - getting some nice finishes close to the pin “target”.  Worked from distances ranging from 10yds to 20yds.  
    • Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, and 2024 topics, we're doing it again in 2025! Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2025 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. I'll have a better chance this year if I don't completely screw up my left thumb in August, too… 😉 This year's spreadsheet is below: 2025 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year. If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column. Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole. We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us! If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines: If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there. If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.
