That sucks.   The VCU Saint Mary's game is very good.

So far, so good! I know it's only the first day but my bracket is still perfect. I've usually had at least one blemish by now! We'll see what the rest of the night brings.

I lost two and they were the Big 10 teams, Minnesota and Maryland.   I don't think the conference will do well this year.   Wisconsin is up early but Michigan and State have touch opening rounds.

Yeah, stuff happens. My car is getting old but still love her. Got her dropped at a shop, call in morning. Left keys in drop box. What really sucks is have 730 tee time. Good news; home course. Bad news: playing as a single so have to walk about a mile, grab cart. Drive back to house load up and drive back. Any big upsets?

No real upsets except for the Big 10,  Maryland and Minnesota.   These were not real big surprises though.   Maryland started strong but hasn't played well as of late and Minnesota has had an up and down season against the Big 10 teams. 

I've got Villanova, Gonzaga, N. Carolina and Iowa St in the final 4.   U?

I went 10/12 on my picks the first day, not too bad. My final 4 is Villanova, Gonzaga, UNC, and Louisville. Then I have Gonzaga beating UNC in the championship.

I could have been 16-0 yesterday but for Nevada! I guess I reached too far for a second 5-12 upset! I called the Middle Tennessee/Minnesota game.

I'm kind of taking a bit of a beating on day 2, but so far it's not terrible!

That was a hell of a win. Four straight sweet 16's for bucky. It would be great if they could get one more win for this group of seniors. I like what Hayes said after the game.

Basketball is obviously a notch down on my winter sports list, but my bruv and I watched the local school get bounced last night. UD hung with Wichita State and then lost it in the final five minutes. Oh well. Back to work.

The NCAA tournament is the only basketball I really watch.    So many games in just a short time frame.

Well, I went 28-4 in the first round. Not too bad, right? I'm getting murdered in the second! Wiscy beats Nova?!!!

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      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.
