I usually get advertisements that have to do with what I have been searching for. We all do.  

But how in the Wide World of Sports did I get an ad for Shot Puts! 😛 I threw shot in High School a couple of times, but jeepers!

Maybe you searched out "putt shots" and forgot one of the "t's" on putt

So, how many "shot puts" did you all buy? The one I get is that hottie Russian babe who wants to be my caddy.

Cool. I did that in junior high along with the discus. I stopped growing in ninth grade so I did not get very far with that. I might still have the 8th and 9th grade discus records though. Not bad for a 5'-8" guy.

Maybe you guys were searching for Russian brides? Some of them have been known to throw the shot put.

Yeah, I've been doing shopping for the wife so now I get a ton of bra and underwear ads.  Pretty cool the way it works.

I get a lot of "Meet mature women" and "Russian singles online" from Google ads. Don't ask me how they figure out that's what I need.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
