If it's the last one, that's not luck, that's a part of golf.  He didn't execute and he went home.  She's no luckier than Matt is.  She's no luckier than Brent was that he wasn't sent home the episode before.

Lucky in the sense that she's the worst golfer in the final four and gets to tee off from the ladies tee.

She tees off from the advanced tees because she's a female........ And it's not the reason why she's in the final. Do we really need to have this discussion again? Your logic is ridiculous.

It's not an actual match when the players are teeing off at different places. Woman against woman or man against man is apples and apples, but woman against man is apples and oranges unless they drive from the same tee. But I suppose it's good enough for the average TV viewer with only a passing interest in golf.

If love to see you go against one of the oranges lololol, you'd be the kiwi.

You're quite the sexist.

You have a distorted view of reality, sexist or not.

They are no longer "ladies tees". They are forward tees. #whilewereyoung. #teeit forward. In the chart the usga put together you should not play over 6000. Yards if you don't drive over 250

Let me guess, they should be in the kitchen, right?

This thread just got more interesting... Why would anyone complain that Taylor is still on the show? Can't compute... I liked Brett...I feel he was the better golfer. But I'd much rather look at Taylor in the finale.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
