That means if I can talk my friends into getting SS, I can set up a leaderboard. 🙂 -

Day 115. I only had time today for 20 balls in the same drill as yesterday, but I did find the time. -

Day 163: Worked mostly on driver today with almost golf balls. Did some work on static change, then a bunch of rehearsals, and then some full swings. Made some improvement on the push start line, and ever so slight drop kick (graze the ground), at least for today. -

Maybe I've interpreted this incorrectly, but it just strikes me that the underlying reason is not really about fewer events. And while the amount of money is obviously so enticing, but even that may not be the main reason for some. Patrick Reed, among others, are talking about how the PGA Tour is not listening to the players and making necessary changes. I never quite understood exactly what type of major change could be made, other than increased prize money and a different distribution. But with the revelation that LIV golfers are paid a negotiated amount to just show up and play, it seems, at least to me, that the real reason could be wanting a negotiated contract that pays a certain amount regardless of tournament outcomes. It may be that desire to be paid like a baseball player, just as an example, who shows up each game, goes about his business, maybe batting .300, hitting 30 HRs while his team wallows outside of the playoffs and he collects millions. Regardless of the stark differences in available money between the PGA and MLB, it sure seems like that is really the life these golfers want. And it seems that is what LIV is offering, or maybe I should say over offering. While I may not agree with what LIV is doing, I do understand the appeal of a contract over time; especially as one is getting past their prime. It can't be lost on these golfers what some professional athletes are getting paid, with a portion being guaranteed. A PGA Tour pro who has career earnings of over $25M is probably doing pretty good; especially while maintaining a top 125 in the sport. But in other sports... John -

Lol. Something to the effect of 'you miss 100% of shots you don't take'.
