Bob Costas ignored the warnings and used the water in his Hotel to wash his face.  Now Matt Lauer is being flown in to relieve him of duty.

It's a cover up.  What really happened is FINALLY some athlete punched this insufferable puke in the face.  I'm guessing it was one of the woman hockey players.

I tried moguls, my knees hurt after like only 3 of them, of course I wasn't doing them right. Skiers, man they have nutcrackers for legs, no pun intended. John Williams... genius. So inspiring... @3:

It's amazing all the practice coverage there is available online. Heck, if they can stream practice for the Olympics, then GC & company can stream practice rounds.

Yeah I was surprised at the amount of content available online. I have trouble finding what I want sometimes, and there are a ton of ads, but you can watch just about anything.

LOL.  My apologies if I already posted this (Canadian "protest" ad towards Russia's gay propaganda ban) but I think it fits quite nicely here:

Silly sport for the Olympics.  I am not, nor I have ever believed that I could be an Olympic athlete.  However, I know I have the physical skills for curling.

Watching all the crashes and wipeouts during the skiing events - ouch - the one where a female blew out her knee during a snowboard run, she screams as she goes out of control, ugh... That's one great thing about golf - marginal chance of injury.

So Russia was eliminated from Hockey.  So much for Putin's comments about Russia's team being a class above the USA, huh?

Its 1-and-done now, right?  If so, it looks like USA has to beat Czech Republic, then Canada to get into the gold medal game, but they only need to beat the Czech Republic to get into the Bronze medal game?

The USA/Czech game starts in a few minutes, I think.  Generally I don't make any effort to avoid seeing olympic results before the games air, but I'll probably do that for the Semifinals and medal games if the USA wins today.

It is unfortunate that Canada and the US were in the same bracket.  That should be the gold medal game.

Do you know how that is determined or who makes that decision?  Can we blame Putin?  Russia was in the other bracket...

Yeah.  It would not make sense for Vlad to have the Gold and Silver medalists from the last Olympics in separate brackets.

I would assume it's a matter of "luck."  Meaning that the brackets were probably set before the preliminary rounds were played.  So, the quarterfinals said A1 v. B2, A2 v. C1, B1 v. C2, etc, etc.  Had Russia finished ahead of the US, or Finland ahead of Canada, then they would be in separate brackets.

That's just a wild guess though.  I say we still blame Putin.

For what I understand the brackets was based on the standings on the preliminary rounds.

The losing team between US and Canada gets to keep Justin Bieber. :)

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
