Now currently reading a few things. I'm about halfway through "The Bourne Identity" by Robert Ludlum. Always loved the movies but never read the book. The book is ... interesting. I'm 50 pages or so into "The Smartest Guys in the Room" about the Enron crash. And I'm about to start "The Arm" by Jeff Passan about Tommy John surgeries and other arm injuries in baseball. 

The Enron documentary just made me plain mad. Why.. why... why... why...

Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Pulitzer Prize winning author Katherin Boo.

I highly recommend this book examining the state of the slums in Mumbai, India through the eyes of the slumdwellers. Very sad. America thankfully doesn't know poverty like this.

Golf wise, I have been reading over my own golf note book. With the cooler weather now here, I am going to put some more time in for a better game next year. 

Non golf books I am reading now are on geology, and how wildlife interacts with their chosen enviroment. I will be hiking in a few different areas of geologic time, and knowing some of the "hows & whys" will be a good thing.

I used to be a one-book person, but the last few years I've ended up reading a few books at once. I keep In Cold Blood by Truman Capote and Zodiac Unmasked by Robert Graysmith in my backpack; I have The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum and Hamilton by Ron Chernow next to my bed; I have How We Got to Now by Steven Johnson on my treadmill; and I have Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian next to my couch.

Finished the Enron book sometime last year. It's funny that I've been in the process of reading Bourne Identity for like two years now. The book is fine, and I'm halfway through. It just gets lost in the shuffle. It's probably a good beach read that I could crank through in a weekend. And I never did start The Arm. (yet).

I’m in between books at the moment. 

Last read: Dug Down Deeper by Joshua Harris.

planned reads: Art of Neighboring and questioning evangelism. 

On the golf side of things I really wanna read “Anatomy of a Golf Course” by Doak.

I finished the first two of the four in the above photo. Cannot put these books down. Having so much advanced knowledge of the characters now, I need to rewatch the first season of My Brilliant Friend. I see all the kids in a totally new light. Looking like I'll finish the next two books by the new year.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      By iacas ·

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
