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.

Obviously the add algorithm know I’m interested in sand traps.  From this very page:

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.

    • Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.  
    • Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
