Wow, Holly is on this weeks episode of School of Golf.

Golf Channel is definitely relying on Paige quite a bit right now. I like her a lot, but she seems a little inexperienced at times. Takes time to get that polish, and think she'll get there. Some of her swing simulator segments seem a bit weak. Maybe I'm being harsh on her (and I like her!), but she seems a little lightweight to be their go-to person about the full swing on Morning Drive.

Golf Channel has brought in a couple decent English women for the past two weeks: Cara Robinson and Di Dougherty. They seemed to have decent rapport. Were those tryouts? Was that a message to Holly that said "see? there's decent talent out there to replace you."  Still seems a bit empty without Holly though, but the show rolls along just fine as background entertainment in the morning.

I think that 1st weekend without Holly was brutal and they realized it. Funny, but that show needs a woman's touch, I never realized it til Holly was gone. So I don't think they're trying to send her a message as much as they're trying to capture the aura or personality the show had with her as part of it. She was a talented chick. I like Paige too but I wouldn't mind a bit more hotness on the set, as wrong as that may sound. Haven't seen the 2 Brits, look fwd to cking them out over the weekend.

Holly is a good golfer, good golf knowledge, good looking, etc. but horrible taste in men. Do some research on her wonderful husband and you can predict the future of their relationship.

I only watch the occasional weekend morning and as that was Holly's watch, never saw much of Lauren, except to fill in from time to time. Haven't seen her in awhile so no idea what she's up to. As they seem to be purging their hot chicks, hope she wasn't part of the cut.

Lauren is still doing the news clips, social media things, and leads the "9 hole" discussion segments by asking questions of the panel. She's pretty good, but she's more a social gal than a golf gal. She adds the feminine touch, but can't really mix it up golf--wise like Holly. Random thing I've noticed: she uses the phrase "right there" and "right now" constantly- pretty much every segment. Could be a good drinking game, if I drank early in the morning.

Here's Di (who was part of MD crew this week):

Here's Cara (who was part of MD crew last week) interviewing Rory:

They're both bubbly and cheerful, but it'll be interesting to see if Golf Channel makes a move to get either of them to come aboard full time.

Color me a Di fan. Cara is twice as big as Rory, cute tho.

On Morning Drive today they thanked Di for joining them this week so it doesn't appear it's a full time move. Too bad, I kind liked her for the half hour I watched this morning.

Ditto, maybe it was a try-out and they'll bring in others over the next few weeks then make a decision. Stupples isn't bad, she's lost a ton of lower body weight which used to really put me off about her in her playing days. I know, I know, I'm a dude, waddayagonnado?

I'm pretty sure I've says this already but I like Stupples. She was better than Holly on School of Golf and would probably be better overall.

I think Holly made a good choice getting out of there. GC needs a makeover, haven't watched anything but golf on there in months. MD stopped being interesting long before she left and the other talk shows just repeat the same stuff over and over. Even Live From MajorX is stale.

Never saw her on it but she's definitely a better player, better than Martin too, come to think of it.

Man, tough crowd. MD just had a makeover now you want another? I like it but really only watch on weekends and usually only around bigger events.

    • 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. 
    • 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.)
    • 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.
