Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!

Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

Day 43. Working on weight shift and hand path into the net

I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.

I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!

46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years. We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area. Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow. I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee. They are going to see what can be done. I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does. Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83. We’ll see if it’s even higher, Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play. i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13. We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other. Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players neither of us posted the score yet. There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score. I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not. I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.

I don’t think the water is actually magic. I don’t remember hallucinating anything, but my money sure kept disappearing!

Well it’s magic, duh! It’s not supposed to taste like regular water!
