i post on lots of different forums, and found that Mario has probably done pretty much EVERYTHING at some point in his video game existence, and it's an image that scales well and is instantly identifiable.

Lastly - nothing that Mario does is something you would ever take very seriously - and I kinda prefer that people thought about me that way (don't take me too seriously...)

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Changed mine really recently.  Not sure I'm pumped about how it looks as an avatar though, so I might change it again.  I agree in general with Erik though and I like it when the avatars stay relatively consistent so I can recognize posters by their pic instead of name.  So I might change it a few times but will let one stick for a while when I find one I like.

That bear was very ... "inappropriate" is the only word I can think of.  Sitting there naked showing us his (her?) junk.  I appreciate your new avatar!!! :beer:

Alright, the mountain pic was too complicated for the small size.  Just looked sloppy to me.  I figure this is my only tattoo, on my forearm.  Sort of my real life avatar, so why not here?  We'll see if this one sticks...

I just signed up, I don't want to change my avatar. Took me a while to figure out what it should be in the first place.

So...after quite some time as the owl from Blade Runner, I have moved on.  This is from the artwork from the pinnacle of modern music (post Chopin), TooL's Lateralus.  Mind bending, altered state of consciousness, transcendent spiritual metal.  Doesn't get any better than this...

Aww...  I haven't been liking my new avatar.  Maybe if I had the original drawing maybe...  So, I reserve the right to change it again, but back by popular demand...

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
