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:

They're shooting .22LR at 50 meters. Target is about a 1.5" for prone and 4.5" for standing.

The commercial for these Omni underground bunkers makes me laugh. Who buys these things?

Well, if it takes any of the sting out keep in mind that Finland has a very strong team. Their only loss, IIRC, has been to Canada and it was no cake walk. People like to think Canada, USA and Russia are the only teams with a realistic chance in these competitions but both Sweden and Finland have proven time and time again that they are serious contenders. I hope Team Canada doesn't take Sweden too lightly tomorrow because they have some serious game.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Finland was the better team today.   It really is a sad state of affairs when the team captain in an interview said that the USA team didn't show up against Canada and then after the first Fin goal had a major let down.   Time for a different coach and mind set.

Bars across the country were ridiculous this morning. Game started at 8 am on the east coast and 4 am on the west. Restaurants and bars either stayed open or opened up early for the game. What an atmosphere!

I was pretty well behaved yesterday morning.. stuck with water. I think they were selling beer for $2.25 though, so as you can imagine, most of the patrons were getting into it!

Really disappointing show by USA in the bronze game.

I'm surprised to see that USA has only won the gold twice--1960 and 1980.  Interestingly from 1956 to 1988, those are the only years that Russia did not win the gold.  Here's a pretty cool site with all the medals won during all the winter olympics:  http://graphics.latimes.com/winter-olympics/

Looks like USA came in 2nd in total medals (to Russia) and 4th in gold.  Canada had more gold and silver, but fewer bronze.

Why are you surprised?  For decades, the Russians had a pro team to everyone else's amateur teams.  When they all went pro, my money was on Canada every time because they have more good players in the NHL than any other country.  If you have better players, you should have a very good chance of winning the gold.

I'm glad the Olympics are over.  I enjoyed them, but most of those sports are stupid and now I don't have to care about them or watch them again for another 4 years. :-P

Sure, it makes sense.  I just had never thought much about it as almost all of that was before I was born.

      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.
