Agreed. It was well written with some new anecdotes, but the overall themes surrounding Tiger Woods remain unchanged by the article.  The major point I disagree with is definitively declaring tha

Smart move by moving the tee times up but they would have gotten the round in if they went normal time. The heavy stuff broke up as it got to Augusta and they only ended up with showers. But still smart move. Just bored with nothing to watch now haha.

Huge break for Tiger.  Being in the final group, and being able to watch Koepka from there, might have been the difference.

No offense, but why is this so important to you? You posted so much about the weather, the tee times, etc.

Are you kidding? The wizards of Augusta see all and know all! They knew the heavy weather wouldn't hit till later. They just wanted an early evening of it! 😉

I'm not going to "forget," I'm just curious why you cared so much? Were you the one worried about the weather in the U.S. Open a few years ago, too?

It's hardly a big deal, but you seem to be obsessed with it, so I thought I'd ask why. That's it.

Mentioned this before but I studied meteorology at Annapolis, so yes, I can be a weather nerd.

Okay.

So, then, briefly (because it's not really on topic), why did they get the forecast so wrong? They even held the ceremony outside.

They had it right up until 2pm. Radar at 2pm looked awful for them. Then all of a sudden the storm weakened just as it got to Augusta. Was odd.

Weather is always just predictions and they couldn't predict it breaking up in time with enough confidence to let them play as normal. Changing the schedule was an insurance. They knew it could break up amd cause no problems to the tournament, but it could just as well have broken up after tearing through Augusta.

Heh, looks like.  Tiger has broken Earl's curse: in 1995, Earl predicted that Tiger would win 14 majors.  That number held up for over ten years, until yesterday.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
