I reckon I just prefer people who stay positive rather than go negative. And like the thing Azinger said about Westwood...it's pretty presumptuous to put words in people's mouths or thoughts in people's heads. Not that there isn't a place for "negative" types of commentary. If someone is struggling with their putting, then they are, and we all see it. And then often a guy will explain how he addressed his own putting struggles, and it turns back into something constructive.

Well it's voodoo, and has to do with aligning your chi/chakras with the magnetic poles of the earth. Works best with Mercury in retrograde. I have used my putter successfully to find potable water and natural gas. True story.

Maybe I get into "mom" mode when people talk smack on the boys I like. I just don't see the point. I tweeted back to the guy, "How come some dude I have never heard of is talking smack on the No. 2 pro?" Also, Brandel Chamblee can sod off, and Azinger has been a little douchey this week too, saying stuff about Rory and Rickie and even Kuch. And then even said that Lee Westwood wasn't happy when Sergio won the Masters because now that makes him the best pro not to win a major. I mean, what? These guys are all trying to be "edgy," and I don't need it. You're a commentator. Teach me something, give me some history. Keep your snark to yourself.

I love you. OK, here we go. Football: Any Given Sunday. "The inches we need are all around us." Baseball: Bull Durham. "When you make it to the show you can let the fungus grow back on your shower shoes and the press'll think you're colorful. Until then, it means you're a slob." Basketball: Hoosiers, of course. Hockey: Umm....I got nothing. Soccer: Again, I got nothing. Auto Racing: Talladega Nights, because I like to party. Bowling: The Big Lebowski. "This aggression will not stand, man." Surfing: Point Break. Golf: Tin Cup. Boxing: Million Dollar Baby Other: I'm gonna go with a "game" not a "sport," and that is chess. The movie is Searching for Bobby Fischer.

My philosophy is the better you look on the course, the better you play. And even though that is absolutely not true at all, at least if you suck you look good doing it. Having said that, I think it is unfair that women seem to be allowed a tremendous amount of leeway in attire, while men have a lot of restrictions, particularly the collared shirt rule. I happen to have a friend with Asperger's Syndrome, and a collared shirt drives him crazy. His job actually gives him an accommodation to not wear a shirt with a collar. And there are plenty of shirt designs with no collar that are perfectly nice looking and not just a t-shirt. The henley is a good example.

Yeah, I need to try again. Just a couple weeks ago I hit a drive on the course that went 200 yards!

This entire thread is a winner so far.

I didn't know! Now I know. :)

Here is a male practicioner doing the same series over and over. If you observe, you can see how all the major muscle groups get a very fluid stretch. You don't have to do it at this pace. The longer you hold each position, the more stretch you get. He's doing it at actually quite a fast pace, which is more cardio. But these are great and gentle moves. slow it down.

Lol, no worries. It's just really neat when you find some small thing that can make a connection. In this case it was golf, and I was just lucky that I had the tool, straight out of the mailbox, to make that connection. What's funny is that I hadn't told my Big Boss that I have a trip to Florida next month. Sprung it on him with the customer. Somehow, I think he won't mind. I got a big hug and a "you're doing good, girl!" from the Man. Side note: I really love my job. This may be the first time in my life I have felt this way. I was obsessed with the whole tiny house "movement" for a few years now before this job came up, so it was like kismet. I love the whole idea of living more efficiently, and it's really like the set of clubs I have put together to play that PGA Village short course. Yes, I've "played," but not really. This will be my first real playing and learning experience, and I have no excess. I have exactly what I need, and it's quality. That is the whole point. Have what you need, and make it quality. After that, there is no obstacle to enjoying life!

First, I'm a nationally certified massage therapist. Do I follow my own advice? No. Today I'm dealing with a bad knee, and as a result of favoring said knee, I now have a hitch in my back. This is from moving a refrigerator and doing some plumbing. But I do have a recommendation. Salutation to the sun. It's a yoga series of postures that is basically a whole body stretch. Very gentle, but really stretches the whole body. Understand, I'm not an idiot. I see yoga as a healthy stretch and strength thing, not a cure for cancer. I would recommend doing this series a few times.

I would have booted your rep for this, but apparently I'm banned from doing that and posting in some threads.

I'm gonna tell you, I used to work in newspapers, and once I did an article on a local boy who made the practice squad at Alabama. Practice? We talkin' 'bout practice. And when I talked to one of the assitant athletic directors, he was most concerned about whether or not I had bought him a Big Mac meal while we talked at his very short lunchtime.

Thanks! It was serendipity. You should have seen the old fella's face light up! Apparently he has a daughter on golf scholarship down at South Alabama.

OMG, the best thing happened because of golf! I'll try to sum up: I work for a company that builds tiny houses. I am only the office person, not sales, but the sales guy asked for help because somehow two different customers were showing up at the same time. I was given the dude who has a "campground." Now, we're crazy at work because we're going to be on Tiny House Nation and they are here filming this ridiculous house with a $3K toilet. Not kidding. So on my way back and forth today, I picked up my mail and my new switchblade divot tool was in the mail. Whee! I put it in my pocket. So, "campground" dude shows up. He's a baller. He's gonna buy a lot of units. Wants to see the owner, so I take him over. THAT'S when he pulls out his card, and he doesn't own a campground. He owns a GOLF RESORT. So I said, "then you know what this is" and pulled out my awesome divot tool. *SWITCH* Now all the sudden we're talking about cabins designed for foursomes to "stay and play" and all that shiz. We're talking PGA Village. He's telling me about a lady golfer who stays there on the reg with no partner, and he wants to hook us up. He's digging in his truck and giving me an armload of shag balls he pulled off the course. It's off the hook. And my Big Boss, president of the company, is looking at me like I'm a genie popped up fresh out of the bottle. ALL BECAUSE I HAD A DIVOT TOOL IN MY POCKET!

Not offended and don't mean to take it off track. But the example of Laura Davies isn't exactly good. She's a stout lady, but her boobs are not actually that huge in comparison to the rest of her build. I'm not trying to be insulting because I'm a "healthy" gal myself, but the fact is, I can't straighten my left arm comfortably. Ask @zipazoid . It's an issue. But I do appreciate that video posted above about boobs and swing. Also, I have recently invested in a very high-dollar sport bra that may also be of some help. But let's do be square about it. As someone else posted, the typical LPGA golfer doesn't have very many boobies at all. Enough of a tangent, and I apologize for taking it in this direction. Again, I think this sort of speculation is a great mental exercise and opens up many interesting related topics. But I do fully understand @DrvFrShow in regard to the overall topic of women's golf. We compete against our on sex for a reason, and it should be judged in that fashion. So far in the thread I think you fellas have been very respectful to the professional ladies tour. Good job.

He was supposed to be a little dog. Something went wrong.

My left ring finger has nothing on it except the remnants of a scratch the pup put on it the other day. Happily divorced three years now.

Well ain't that sweet! But your entry doesn't count because you didn't post it right! So I get nothing!

BOOBS. Has anyone said boobs create a huge disadvantage yet, or are we afraid CBS will fire us? Because they sure as hell do. The bigger they are, the less stank you can put on your drive, I assure you. They get in the way of putting too. Speaking of which, I'm hitting it about 150 yards on my best strikes as a total novice. How's that sound?

That's gorgeous.

It's tulip season. And tulips are highly underrated compared to roses. Tulips are much more affordable than roses. So just as a suggestion, if any of you fellas would like to surprise your ladies (wives, girlfriends, daughteres, secretaries) with something unexpected, pick up a bouquet of tulips. They herald springtime, and most of us are in dire need of that.
