    Richard Fahrney got a reaction from Shlax in How long do you keep a pair of golf shoes?   
    I walk my course and my Apple Watch says it’s 6.7 miles each round. I have logged my 100th round so far this year and will probably get to 125 EOY. What I have learned is do not by on price and use the MGS evaluation of golf shoes for quality. Wait for them to go on sale at year end and buy 2 pairs. Thank you MGS for doing the hard work for me.

    Richard Fahrney got a reaction from Rick Bouchard in What's the best tip you have ever received, and how did it change your game?   
    My golf tips come from watching YouTube videos. About 6 months ago Danny Maude had a chipping lesson given by Pete Cowens. I had never heard of Pete and learned that he is the coach to most of the European players. Now the worlds best go to him for help including Brooks, Rory and Hedeki. Since watching his chipping and bunker videos have have gone from an 18 to a 13. JT, give him a call. 😀

    I walk my hilly course in north Georgia 4-5 days a week. That is 6.8 miles and a good cardio workout. If I hit a bad shot I walk off my attitude and get back to playing. Americans need to get off their fat a$$ and exercise more. We have over 650K heart attack deaths every year and 800k stroke deaths and physical damage to their bodies. Walk and play golf to live longer.

    Richard Fahrney got a reaction from Shapotomous in PGA Tour & PIF/LIV Golf Merger   
    I am watching the legal issues that have not been addressed. You have a current administration that is anti monopolistic and reducing competition. Lena khan FTC chair has ruled against in other business decisions against reducing competition to individuals. The current Justice department leans the same way. 
    Now we get to the individual pros that could file against the new entity for several reasons. If you don’t think we have a group of lawyers that aren’t waiting for more information to go after PIF and the PGA yoru living in the past. 
    Finally I think this will result in a golfers union like all the other sports have in place. We don’t have all the information about the new entities but we just need to wait and see. The over under on this is, take the over on the lawyers.
