In case you missed prior days, here is a brief re-cap. As the sun rises in Phoenix, the ragtag bunch from East of the Mississippi is feeling confident, but not overconfident. @mvmac is d

Haha, it's not that important (IMO).

Do you think they meant the 3rd match the Red team is up 1 for the match?  They've been posting that the second match is a slaughter.

Yes.

Not absolutely sure what the scores are now, so I'll wait to post something later.

I think Match 2 will go RED (BLUE might salvage something on the back 9 though)

Matches 1 and 3 are nail biters though.

Lots of points up for grabs, but it feels like RED is poised to take a lead after morning play.

@RandallT yeah, not sure about the scores, I'm just posting the Tweets. Try replying to the tweets directly, maybe they'll answer?

Yah, except that I went off the grid on twitter a couple years ago. Ha.

I'll bet things are getting pretty exciting down the stretch, and they're just enjoying the camaraderie, and staying off their devices. I'll let 'em have their fun, and look forward to a good summary.  My prediction is that things were starting to roll in the West's favor there.  Felt like a US Ryder Cup, watching the Europeans take control.  I'm sure the West will resent that comparison! :-D

4 points yet to be decided for Matches 2/3. Gotta think West takes the Total for Match 2 easily. Perhaps runs the table on the last 4 points, but too early to tell.

Team East Coast takes the early morning lead on day 1 with a pair of nailbiters overcoming a drubbing by the west coast in the second match. @saevel25 drained a huge putt for us on 18 to save our 1Up win of the match and a halve of the back.

      Day 166 (15 Oct 24) - Worked with the 6i into the net today.  Focused on the legs - slight knee bend, keeping pressure on lead foot, getting rotation thru contact.

      No. The Steelers aren't paying either of them very much. They're not gonna get rid of a SB winning QB in case Justin is injured or something.

      It could be to exhibit for trade bait.   Some teams may be looking for another QB (Miami) and if Wilson plays well, the compensation could be large.

      The Need for Speed (and Other Things)

      By saevel25 ·

      Ball strike is king. You hit with a glancing blow (hook or slice), your smash factor just decreases a ton. Having a face to path angle of like 20 degrees versus something like 3 degrees is huge.  Yea, getting in shape is a good idea all around. Power is moving something heavy really fast. So, increasing how much you can lift, then improving on how fast you can move it will improve your power. In general, I think the two biggest tests for distance is like a chest press and standing vertical high jump. Some people are gifted with fast hands, but having good lower body can amplify what you have. Using the ground the correct way really ramps up the rotation speed, and then that can get the clubhead moving faster. Still, the hands do get down from the top of the backswing really fast.  If you start gaining strength and power gains. Knowing how to use the ground properly is important. You can have all the leg strength, but if you are not activating it correctly it is a waste. That is where good mechanics come into play.

      Any thoughts?  Not sure I agree with this. I think Fields is doing good. The team is 4-2. I am not sure Russel is any better. Last year by QBR, they were basically the same player. Two years ago, Russel was just BAD. If you want to take prep time away from the guy who got you to 4-2, just to give a guy who has been injured a shot, I think it is a waste of time.  Hey, I do not watch them every weekend, but maybe some Pittsburgh fans can chime in.
