Good thing I don't have any kids, and I don't make much. Got it at even odds, and spending a little juice. Heard from inside sources that something is wrong with the europeans

Heard it from the guy you are betting against? :whistle:

What, exactly, is wrong with the Europeans?

Well the Ameican team is definately favored to win.  I put $50 down on them to win an extra $25. I also read that the American team has a much lower OWGR average than the European team, so my bet, on paper,  seems to be safe. 

However,  this is the Ryder Cup. Anything can happen. This is one of the golf contests I make time to watch. 

On a personal note, 99.99% of me wants the Red, White, & Blue to win. However, there is this little critter setting on my shoulder who wants to hear DL-3 explain why his "best ever" team lost. Lost after all this "task force" stuff was put into the mix. 

Which ever team wins, I just hope it's close contest, that comes down to the last pairing, and the last putt.

Nope, half my yearly salary.  Have some really confident information. Pretty much a lock.  Anyways, you don't live a little unless you have big money on something. Prediction (USA wins by 2.5

Exactly what score could they have that would total 28 points, be scored in increments of 0.5, and have a 2.5 point difference?

They added a wrinkle this year ... if you want you can offer to "quarter" the hole if you're down a stroke or two and still away.  Sort of like "surrender" in blackjack.

USA wins 15.25-12.75.

:-P

O Brother

Well, first good on his comments, it shows that some of the Brits still have balls, not many but a few. Not really to fight but at least to sit in a well kept, clean to the limit room and write some properly composed lyrics (English rap) about Americas less desirable elements.

What they don’t have apparently is any pop or modern culture or nothing new since before they had to dig out from the big war. In fact the writer, a bloke? joke?  had such fun and volume with his references because that’s like a week in the downside of America and is easily only a weeks worth.

 

But then there’s that troubling fact as well that the technology he used to write it, autocorrect it, email it with, or connect to be able to email it with, well that’s like 1-5% in the last three years in Americas invention and productivity stream.

So yes we have a lot that is slime ball worthy, because well we have a lot, you get that from being productive, innovative, smart and willing to kick ass some of the time or as we are, all of the time.

So instead of gaining satisfaction from the wit, written in well-structured sentences, poking fun at America, likely written in a 500 year old room, it’s likely, that you like many in old old England, you just well hate yourself for no real accomplishment and the underbelly that goes with constant change, of your own, in a hundred or two hundred years.

How’s that space program coming.

Ps One great exception is Prince Harrys Invictus games. Bravo

Ciao.

 

All the best,

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
