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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
