This is why I do not pay attention to the regular season much. Basketball playoffs are probably my favorite though.

My favorite sport to watch is absolutely football (pro, college, even high school). Next favorite is soccer, but outside of the US national teams, I don't really have a favorite pro team (I do hate Man U and Juventus though). NFL - cowboys and then ravens MLB - rangers and then rockies NBA - mavs NCAA - there are too many I kind of like or really don't like to list. My wife is a big Duke basketball fan though. And it's pretty cool when any Texas school does well.

The only sport I really follow outside of golf is hockey. And my team, the Edmonton Oilers, suck. They've sucked since game seven of the 2006 Stanley Cup finals.

Pittsburgh Pirates – I was 7 years old when they played the Orioles in the '71 World Series and I became absolutely enthralled with Roberto Clemente. A little more than a year later, when that relief plane bound for Nicaragua went down, I refused to believe he was dead because his body was never recovered. Probably took me about a year to accept it.

College football – USC

NFL – I was a huge Cowboys fan as a kid (I used to cry when they lost regular-season games), but I lost my passion for them shortly after the Jerry Jones regime began.

The teams I detest are the ones closest to me: the SF 49ers and Giants and the Oakland Raiders. I do sort of like the A's, though.

I completely ignore the NBA these days and as a lifelong Californian, I've never taken any interest in hockey. I don't get soccer and don't want to get it.

MLB: Yankees

NFL: Giants

NBA: Pass

NCAA Hoops: St. John's (I know; they are terrible)

NHL: Rangers

I am most passionate about the Rangers, then St. John's. I was only six when the Rangers won the cup so the doesn't count, and I've never seen St. John's win the Big East, or advance out of the first round in the NCAA Tournament. My Dad went to St. John's back in the Mullins, Jackson, Berry days. He loves to tell me how good they were.

Sad to know I'll never see the Big East like it was in the days of the Patrick Ewing G'Town, Cuse, St. Johns when games were physical battles. I now spend most of my time rooting against the traitorous Syracuse Orange.

University of Georgia sports; especially football.  Don't really like Mark Richt, but doesn't stop me from being a fan.  The top sport at UGA right now

is golf, if you take into consideration how many Dawg golfers are on the PGA tour.  Bubba is just the most prominent of many.  Also an Atlanta Braves fan.

I'm a football (soccer) fan and support Newcastle United.

I also follow the NBA fairly closely and most regularly watch the Orlando Magic and LA Clippers.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
