Always summed up my feelings about the man. I'm a life-long Reds fan (took me till 12 to discover hockey). Even though I was pretty young, I remember the excitement when Rose came back to Cincinnati from Montreal and broke Cobb's record. My parents weren't big TV people, so the night he got that hit off Eric Show, I was messing with an ancient black and white we had in the basement. Got it to work just well enough with the rabbit ears to get a half decent picture. It was an exciting moment for sure. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. I suppose it is always tough on kids when their team's major stars show their warts. All those years of denial plus the occasional indication that he may have been an out-right pedophile, makes it hard for me to feel much one way or another. After all, the man is dead. -

Probably more how I'm explaining it than interpreting it 🤣 I think I've interpreted what you have described, and explained that I'm not doing that, but incorrectly 🤷🏻♂️ -

You mean basically staying more over your lead foot at setup? I would disagree that's what the pros do. With the longer clubs and the driver especially you'll usually see some spine tilt away from the target. Given weight at setup is usually fairly even left to right (I think it might be like 60/40 one way or the other, don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it's ~even), that means front hip a bit towards the first foot and chest center a bit towards the back foot. Maybe that's what you're interpreting as them being over their front foot? Either way, IMO you should video it. Sounds iffy 🤷♂️ -

I have always been conflicted about this. When Pete came to Philly he changed the culture, and it led to a WS win. He wasn't the best player at that point of his career, but he was the catalyst. I liked and admired the grit and intensity he brought to the game. But what an awful human being. They do have a morals clause, Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played. Hence, conflicted. -

The world of ruling is really interesting in golf. I've had a very interesting discussion after a mid-am with the rules committee were they were trying to make me understand why it's only one shot penalty when you drop outside of a penalty area after trying to hit the ball out of it without success. I was supporting the idea that the player should repeat the shot from the penalty area adding 1 penalty stroke or 2 strokes if choose to drops out of the penalty area. It felt to me that letting the player drop outside of the penalty area for free wasn't right. This last weekend another situation happened, we have several radio towers on our course. The local rule says that if you hit one with your ball you have to re-hit the shot, you are not allowed to continue with the first ball. A friend of mine hit a ball towards OB but it hit a tower that was placed outside of the white stakes. The ball ended OB after the bounce but we applied the local rule and make him re-hit without penalties. Is that ok? do the placement of the tower (inside or outside the course) matters? Of course the local rule don't take this into consideration. What if the player didn't hit any shot with the clubs with the stickes on when the comment reach the rules staff? If you were to approach the guy at that moment he would finish the round with less clubs but avoid DQ.
