Just read that James Gandolfini died of a massive heart attack in Italy, he was 51.   I thought he was a good actor, especially in The Soprano's.  I guess the Soprano's movie won't happen now unless the story takes place after his funeral based on the last scene of the series.  He was only 3 years older than me, which is pretty good motivation for me to watch my diet and not miss my workouts.

I just found out from this thread! HORRIBLE!!!!!! So sad! Dunno what else to say. Man this sucks.

The place I grew up in Jersey is about a five minute walk from the "White Caps" house Tony Soprano bought for his family on the shore in Sea Bright, NJ. That town was devastated by Sandy too.

Very, very sad loss.

Very sad.... I was huge into The Soprano's and in my opinion he was one of top 5 actors of the last 15 years, a true artist. Really liked his character in Killing Them Softly as well. RIP big guy.

He was so good in that Sopranos episode, "College", one of my favorite tv episodes of all time. Also, "In the Loop" and a minor role in "Crimson Tide". RIP.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
