I'm having a math error. I am seeing Red UP4 after 9.  Then UP2 on the back.  But how is the overall UP7?

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.

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

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 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
