Just dropped my daughter off at the local cemetery.  Every Memorial Day, she, my Eagle Scout Godson, and a small handful of boy and girl scouts spend the morning placing flags on graves of veterans, some of which date back to World War I.  Although it's an early, somber start to the holiday, I'm proud to say that it's something she looks forward to every year.  It's also the subject of my avatar.

I hope everyone has a great day.  Lots of golf, family time, companionship, and fun, but I'd ask that we not forget those that gave their lives to help protect our freedom along the way.

David, this is great.  Love that your daughter does this and that she looks forward to it.  My son just "learned" (he's 4) about Memorial Day for the first time this year.

Me:  "Casey, what day is today?"

Him: "Memorial Day"

Me:  "What does that mean?"

Him "Soldiers died, and we put flags."

OK, so he's a little young for anything past that, but it's a start.

Everybody have a great (hopefully golf filled) day!  (I'm "stuck" with the family today so no golf ... but I think I'll get some practice in by dragging them all to mini golf :))

I'll say a prayer today for the Fathers, Uncles, Friends who forged through WWII and Korea and an additional prayer for those of my generation who fought in Viet Nam.

Two in particular (WWII and Viet Nam) told me stories that to this day bring a tear to my eyes for their gallantry and bravery. I was always humbled in their presence.

Our freedoms have come at quite a cost.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families that are in or have been in the military.    My only regret is that we don't do more for the veterans.

A big thank you to all of those that have served or are serving in the military.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
