You know, this will just balloon into something uncontrollable. First, it's the SB, then The World Cup, then the Olympics, then the World Series, etc... Eventually, work will disappear from the face of the earth, nothing gets done, dystopia ensues and we extinct ourselves, all because of this silly pigskin game. :-D

Nah... computers will have taken over long before that happens.

Never misunderestimate our ability to work against our own good. Odds that we off the world ourselves w/o any help from The Singularity, I'll take those odds.:8)

When I was working I thought that the Monday after SB would be a great day to stay at home. Since we have better weather in the summer here in Michigan, I'd vote to take an extra day when the weather is good enough to be outside golfing.

but....

since I'm recently retired, I don't care.....:beer:

I think it's a bit goofy.... Instead of people, you know, being more responsible and not getting so sloshed they can't make it to work let's just give them the day off with pay? How about no.

 

Sometimes I guess I can be a bit of a dick about this stuff, I mean if they made it a holiday it's not like I'd pass it up... I just think it's a dumb reason to have a paid day off.

That is an interesting bet, I say we don't off outselves.....I will take the bet for 1 Billion internet points!

Now all we have to do is figure out how and when we settle up

    • Day 85 11-6 Flow drill today. Goal was to feel a good rhythm. Hit foam ball after every 5th practice flow swing.
    • Day 65 (6 Nov 25) - weekly nine hole session with my friends playing up a set of tees.  As always a casual session, got in some great course management work as I was dealing with some straight pulls off the tee, so recovery shots were the drills of the day.  
    • Day 402 - 2025-11-06 Practiced for only about 15 minutes today. Used the mirror and foam balls. Backswing almost entirely. Helped @DrizZzY for some of the time after and before, too.
    • I agree. One of the main problems with the old UK system was how slow it was to catch up to changes in ability. The WHS reacts far more quickly in both directions too (maybe different at 20+ handicap, but below 5 it for sure does). 
    • I know, and so he's got to consider that if his handicap went up FOUR strokes, it was through play likely quite a bit worse than even that, because that's into the soft cap, and so… keeping his handicap down at only 1 or 1.5 higher would not represent how he had been playing over 15+ rounds. Again, it's still fifteen rounds. And some really bad scoring for 15 rounds. He has an "outdated" definition of "quick." It is the way it is because of reasons, and my suggestion is that he consider them. Not just react with "this isn't like how it used to be…".
