    Your conclusion is illogical, just because maybe they didn't watch golf as children it doesn't follow that "they have no interest in creating a legacy on the PGA Tour."

    Bear Mountain Golf course hole 4, par 5, 463 yards, elevation 7,000 feet. I've had a 6 iron in for my second shot (and I'm 64 years old). Probably shouldn't be a par 5.

    Thanks, that's a good table.

    I just asked him, he works for a biotech company called Hologic. He said they just wanted him to do it, maybe for to start a database? He did send me his number fwiw,

    Lab Corp has a "Semi-Quantitative" test that I'm considering taking. I'm a leukemia survivor, had a bone marrow transplant, I have GVHD, and I'm on immune suppression medication (tacrolimus, sirolimus, prednisone). Some of my Dr.'s patients in the same situation as me got no response from the vaccine I took the qualitative test and I have antibodies, but I have no idea how protected I am. I recently got the Moderna booster. The Lab Corp Semi-Quantitative test gives no indication of what is a good response. It's just a number. I don't see the point of taking the test if there is no way to interpret the number. Still I want to take it, I can at least compare it to the number my neighbor got (his employer required the test).

    Meaningless. Pretty easy to add that up to get 100% and understand what that is. Again, meaningless. What percent of the White race has been vaccinated?, What percent of the African Americans have been vaccinated? etc.

    What do you all make of Patrick Reed's statements regarding his hospitalization with pneumonia. He said he didn't know if he had Covid and wasn't tested until leaving the hospital. (Seems nearly impossible to me). He said he had been vaccinated. (Seems pretty unlikely to me). Later some sources said he did have Covid, but NBC made no mention of it during the Tour Championship, they only mentioned the pneumonia. Seems to me he missed an opportunity to be a good guy and use himself as an example, a 31 year old that was hospitalized with Covid. It also seems NBC missed an opportunity to report it. It's all very strange.

    The first hurdle would be to get people to listen for the first time. I've never listened to a golf podcast and have no desire to search one out. The second hurdle would be to get people to continue to listen and to do that it would have to be really entertaining and probably need to be very funny, at least to keep me interested. I mean Robin Williams level of humor. I don't see that as being possible.

    Just click a button to say you are immune-compromised. However, in my case CVS could just look up my prescriptions and see the immune suppression meds that they sale me. I don't think this is necessary for those that are not immune-compromised. This is not about extending the life of the vaccine, rather it's about upping the antibodies on those that didn't get the full effect of the initial shots.
  11. No Mulligans
    CVS is already on board to give booster shots to the immune-compromised. I'm getting one, scheduled for tomorrow morning.

    I don't remember, he must not have been. Do you have to be on the clock to get a penalty? Four minutes! It was a big moment, last hole, par 5, 2nd shot, needed an eagle to tie Jason Day. Laid up but it ended in the rough. He was one of the last groups if not the last group.
  13. No Mulligans
    Yes and I hope they will apply it even-handedly. (Charley Hoffman 4 minutes, 2nd shot on the 18th at Torrey)

    The rare one stroke slow play penalty to John Catlin... Took 63 seconds to play second shot after a warning on an earlier hole. PGA Championship 2021: Rare pace of play penalty strikes at Kiawah | Golf News and Tour Information | Golf Digest John Catlin was twice flagged for taking too much time to hit shots, and the second time cost him a one-stroke penalty

    I was supposed to have a blood draw today for lab tests and an appointment with the Hematology Oncologist tomorrow. Meanwhile Scripps Health yesterday was hit with a ransomware attack and I got a phone call letting me know my appointments are cancelled. Not sure how this will all sort out but I'm hoping I don't go to the end of the line, the Dr. is usually booked up for a month or two. When I do get the appointment I want to ask the Dr. about life-style recommendations given the Moderna vaccination, and the Jan. 2021 Lancet study on HSCT with immune suppression and Covid 19. Specifically regarding outdoor activities like golf.

    Once the covid numbers spiked in Dec. - Jan, and it was reported that those in my situation (HSCT on Immune Suppression) have a 67% 30 day survival rate after catching Covid... I stopped playing golf. Now I'm 2 weeks plus from my second Moderna shot, reconsidering golf. Not sure. See the Doc next week, maybe he'll say wear a mask, wouldn't want to do that on a warm summer day walking a golf course.

    Average day in San Diego coastal. Blue sky, 70 degrees, slight breeze. My wife is down the road playing Torrey Pines right now, a 5 minute drive from our house. My vore, San Diego.

    I've tried CBD (not Phil's) for inflammation. I probably need to be more consistent for a longer period of time but it's hard to be motivated when I'm not noticing any benefit. For me it seems to be about the same as taking vitamins, like vitamins I'm not sure it's doing me any good.

    Seeing Rory's similar situation, I have to change my position. I now think it's possible that a ball can embed in the rough after a bounce. Faldo said he's never seen it. I suppose now he has.
  20. No Mulligans
    I agree. But no one would do that, that makes about as much sense as throwing a thousand up in the air to see if gravity was still functioning as expected. Some experiments aren't worth doing as the outcome is pretty much certain. The odds are so small of that ball embedding that one logically looks for other explanations.
  21. No Mulligans
    The area being discussed is not a basin area, that spot was higher than the dry cart path, and higher than the area where he dropped,
  22. No Mulligans
    It wasn't sopping wet. Did you watch any of Saturdays coverage? I watched the 3 hours on CBS, I didn't see any standing water, I didn't see any mud. I live in the area, not sopping wet in my neighborhood either. By Saturday conditions were pretty good. We've gotten so little rain (not unusual), this rainfall was quickly soaked up by the previously dry ground at least in San Diego Coastal area. Maybe it found a previous ball mark?
  23. No Mulligans
    Maybe he pushed down a bit when he inexplicable removed the ball
  24. No Mulligans
    I play the course a lot, the rough is really thick, a ball bounces about two feet high, goes into the rough slowly, at an angle, no way it could embed, most often that ball won't even make it to the ground.

    I read people over 75 have a 13.8% mortality from covid. If you’re over 75, catching covid-19 can be like playing Russian roulette And that's why I'm not going outside, says Antonio Regalado. My cohorts, allogeneic (not your own cells) bone marrow transplant patient on immune suppression have a 32% 30 day mortality rate after getting covid. Yet I can't get the vaccine, I'm 63 and need to be over 65 in CA to get the vaccine. they are predicting my group will get it sometime around June. In the third paragraph: "At 30 days after the diagnosis of COVID-19, overall survival was 68% (95% CI 58–77) for recipients of allogeneic HSCT " https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhae/article/PIIS2352-3026(20)30429-4/fulltext
