Ok, does he mean sugar or carbs?

Probably carbs, but maybe he's just trying to keep it simple. There's probably a bigger issue with people eating too much sugar than people eating too many carbs. Plus this way he doesn't have to list all the shit that has carbs (though he probably should list all the stuff with HFCS, including ketchup, etc.).

Personally, I eat a very healthy diet.  Full on Mediterranean.  Olive oil, salmon, tuna, skinless/boneless chicken, veggies, cheese, avocados, cucumbers, fresh fruits.  But right now, because I only had 50ish trick or treaters last night I'm on a sugar-challenged diet.  Too much candy left over.

I've thought about storing it for next year, but the garage (which I rarely visit) is the only good option.  But in the summer it gets warm in there and the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups would melt.

I try to cook with more olive oil lately. I have been trying to add more salmon to my diet. I've been having smoked salmon for breakfast with some almonds. I also have gotten use to eating sardines and mackerel.

Both excellent for omega 3 fatty acids.

I tried cooking my morning omelet in olive oil.  Yuck.  A little bit of butter won out.  But everything else gets the olive oil treatment.   I even pop my popcorn in olive oil.  Delicious!

Popcorn = carbs

Again, makes me wonder if he is specifically talking about carbs or just sugar. 

He is talking about anything that spikes insulin. So both. Chemically same effect. 

Having said that processed sugars/carbs are readymade insulin 'spikers'. OTOH complex carbs make your system work harder get broken down enough to signal insulin onset.

I find interesting that it could also be the duration of the rising process of bread that can change how the body reacts to it. like, sourdough bread that is made through a slow rising process is much easier to digest, has less gluten, and allows for more of nutrients to be absorbed by the body. Also, WAY more delicious.

Yah. My daughter is the proper foodie in the house. She is mildly gluten intolerant and bakes all bread inhouse and even makes pasta from scratch (like from flour she grinds at home... ) - of course, only when she is bored to death and when she wants to. haha.

We all get a treat when she does. Yum!

I do not bake enough to feed a sourdough starter.

Maintaining a starter is a PITA, I've had one going for years now, and it's had its share of near death experiences. But I bake sourdough bread and naturally leavened pizza at least once a week, and I also mill my own flour, so it has become part of my daily routine. The most annoying thing is that the 100-200 grams of flour to feed it everyday ends up being a lot of grain so my bread and pizza is not necessarily economical at low scale production.

I've heard that local bakeries that make sourdough baked goods are usually kind enough to share some of their starter with home bakers, but I like the process of doing it all myself.

You can keep a starter in the fridge, and the temp makes it so you need to feed less often.

I do this if I am going on vacation or something, but it usually takes 3-4 days of feeding to get it back where I like it for baking.

Cooler temperatures select for bacteria that produce lactic and acetic acid, and I prefer to select my culture for only lactic acid producing bacteria because I think it makes much better tasting bread. I try to maintain it around 75-80 degF, 100% hydration, and feed daily.

I’m not a closet Italian, I’m an adopted son. My uncle is Italian, he and my aunt are the ones to sponsored us to come to the USA, and my stepfather is Italian. We went to Sunday dinner at his mother’s house (“grandma’s”) for years.

Dude, that looks pretty damned yummy. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • 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.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
