Voting tomorrow? Yes.

My motto is just say no to incumbents... no matter which party, it would create such confusion to vote all of them out of office... they might actually govern.

That's kind of novel. If you don't like what they're doing vote them out!

Actually, this is a great idea, I'm half tempted just on principle. . .

I'll be going though it's mostly futile.  NY is a very liberal state, doesn't matter who has the best policies.  I go mostly so I have a right to complain when the newly elected politicians screw things up worse.  NY is the 49th most tax hostile state in the country for businesses and the current politicians don't understand why they are all moving out.   I just can't wait for my kids to finish school and get out of here.

Funny, it's the exact opposite here.  Well, not the state, but the locality.  Orange County couldn't be more Republican if it tried.  But if we call our votes futile using that logic, then they are always futile, no matter who you vote for.  One vote isn't going to change anything, but we still do it because it's the right thing to do.

I still haven't done all of my research though, so I have no idea what I'm doing tomorrow. :doh:

I should but I won't.

Every candidate that I have an opinion on and want to win is going to win anyway. If that ever changes I'll be first in line to vote.

Of course you made the correct decision, watching those ads is entertaining after all. ;-)

Although I like your style, it would be a major mess. Think of a football team comprised of all rookies. Yikes...

In California you either check the box of a party or select a box with this description:

~ No, I do not want to disclose a political party preference.

If I were to describe by political beliefs in five words or less it would be: Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.

I think there are a lot of people with these beliefs, but there is no political party for us.  I do like not belonging to an actual party.  The closed minded fanaticism that I see among many party members is a turn off and has created a log jam in Washington.

It's called a libertarian

but the term is hijacked by hard lefties to falsely mis-characterized it as religious right

and the hard righties tried to hijack the movement itself and fold it into the religious right

until the true libertarians have decided the hell with it and just went back to work

which - frankly - is what the hard lefties and righties were trying to accomplish in the first place.  Wouldn't want a really practical movement that most people align with (even if they didn't realize it)

big difference between what's offered today - one party that has an intrusive social agenda and likes to spend all our money despite our wishes

and the other party - which has a slightly different intrusive social agenda and likes to spend all our money despite our wishes

I like to define myself by the fiscal and social scales also:

Fiscally, I'm a conservative (stop wasting our money)

Socially, I'm a fiscal conservative (please do what you like but why do you want me to pay for it - stop wasting our money)

Voted early. I was shocked to find that my state Rep. was running unopposed. I have had some dealings with him and probably would have voted for him regardless, but still. :-\

Well, I'm gonna be partisan just this once, I usually vote Dem down the line but that's no surprise given I grew up, lived and live in very blue states.

You can't have it both ways.

I think he wants it only one way, the "Stop spending my money" way. This is more or less the libertarian point of view.

Voted down the street today, walking in a very light rain, to the school where I pick up my son.

I was one of two voters in the room. Two more arrived as I was leaving.

Slow day in a heavy GOP area... but it should not make any difference as in more than half the local races, the Pub candidate ran unopposed. Sometimes, there was no Dem candidate ... it was Libertarian versus GOP... weird.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • WUTiger
      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
