Funny story. Back many years ago, before cell phones, a friend and co-worker was heading into downtown Milwaukee on the freeway and a barrel fell off a truck ahead and hit his car. Some damage but no injuries, but serious enough he has to wait on the side of the road for a tow.
His dear wife also worked downtown, but started work about an hour after him, so she was driving separately on the same freeway. She shared OPs frustration with gawkers and adamantly refused to even look at an accident as she goes by. Well, my friend sees her car approaching and hopes to get a ride into work with her and starts waving, jumping up and down and yelling "Hey Megan, STOP", but to no avail. Driving by, eyes fixed straight ahead, she went to work leaving dear hubby to make his way into work a couple of hours later.

Just noticed this thread. As Rev and several others on here know, I have significant lower back issues, failed back surgery and sciatica. I started using CBD over a year ago and am a big fan of it. And, through my recommendations and others, about half of our golf group is now using for various ailments.
I take a 50mg pill once a day and also use an "equine strength" balm, putting a small dab on the L5/S1 area of my lower back. It helps greatly. I also used to take 6 to 12 ibuprofens a day like Silver and Black. I haven't taken any (except once for a headache) in over a year. It's not a pain reliever per se (you wouldn't notice much of anything after taking it for a particular pain). Rather, it has an effect over time and really takes the edge off. Plus, although this is not a benefit usually attributed to CBD, but my blood pressure has gone down, permanently it seems, about 15 points on the top number and 10 on the bottom.
I usually use SunMed, they claim to do independent testing as well, but there are other highly rated manufacturers out there as well.

First week that things have looked pretty dicey. At the point if I can pull a split out I'd be very happy. Some good games and some big numbers being put up by some different players.
I sure hope you are not complaining, with you getting 37.4 pts out of your handcuff running back! Even if Leveon gets his projected number of points, I still lose by half a point, even with the third or fourth highest point total out of 42 teams.

I just posted a response to a Scottsdale golf inquiry under the US Courses heading. Check those out as well. The overseeding comment is well taken, I was out there last November and planned my itinerary around the overseeding schedule. You do NOT want to play a course that had just reopened after overseeding--give it at least two weeks.
-
Did the trip last November. Golfed Troon North, Legend Trail, TPC Champions, We-ko-pa and Marriott Palmer. Loved Troon North and We-ko-pa, had a good time at TPC Champions and Legend Trail, thought Marriott was sort of meh and did not enjoy Eagle Mountain. You should have a great time regardless of your choices!

Last year, and on all other sites I've been on, there were projected Fantasy points for the week for each player shown in the Matchup screen for the week. I don't see that this year, or can't find it. Is it to early, or am I not looking in the right place??

Right now, it's looking like the 22nd. Does 9pm EST work for most people?
that's good for me.
Good for me as well.

I do believe that to get the true benefit of a counterbalanced putter, the entire putter has to be designed as such from the get go. You can't just add a counterbalanced grip to a regular putter and get the proper performance. It is my understanding that the putter heads on a CB putter are heavier than regular putter heads. This would account for the comment above that the poster lost the feel of the (lighter) putter head.
I've been using one for years and it is awesome for distance control, particularly the long putts. I grip it near the bottom of the grip.
For a while a couple of years ago, there was a wide selection of CB putters. Now, even at PGA Tour Superstore, there are only 3 or 4 to choose from. Disappointing, 'cause I'm a big fan of them.

Just added my home course, TPC Sawgrass Dye's Valley. Only 20 home courses listed so far!!!

Best tip I ever got, and it works many days, but not all, 'cause it's mental. Assuming you have a basically sound technique, go up to your ball and remember that your subconscious is a lot better chipper (and golfer) than your conscious. Just pick a spot where you want your ball to hit and let your subconscious do the work. Steph Curry surely is not thinking any mechanics or calculating force and relative arc when he lets fly from 30 ft. When I can get into this mindset, good things happen. Sadly, there are many days where that mindset is totally elusive. Practice sessions focused solely on this mindset definitely help.

At least Green Bay won this week, right? Maybe? Ok, it still sucks.
Sent from my SM-G930V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
Yeah, and the Bucks pulled one out in Denver. But, you're right, it still sucks. At least I get to play a beautiful golf course in Phoenix tomorrow (and Wednesday and Thursday).

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Second most points out of 28 teams and I lose again! 7-6 and I'll likely have 2nd or 3rd most points overall out of 28 teams when play ends tomorrow. I'm guessing almost everyone has had their best game when they play me. Pout.....

Looks like we may have another absentee owner. Judge Smails started 2 guys on a bye last week along with Will Fuller (who is out for the year). This week he has 2 guys with a bye on his active roster.
Any chance we can nudge him to set an active lineup?
Yeah, maybe next Tuesday send him a nasty note (I'm playing him this week). No seriously, it takes a lot of the fun out of it when you're playing a lay down opponent. Also, he's tied with me in the standings (me the points leader, even though I'm in 5th place--I do hate that I'm continuing to belabor that point, can't help myself)--so why is he absent??
-
-
Not to belabor a point (well, maybe I am), I still have significantly more points than anyone else but am now mired in 7th place.

Did they still have the rough grown really thick? Played there a few weeks ago and felt like I was preparing for the US Open in that rough. It's a beautiful and challenging course though.
Driver: 915 D2 10.5 stiff
3 Wood: 915 F stiff
3 Hybrid: 915 HD
4-PW: 710 AP2
Wedges: 50, 56, 60 Vokey SM6
Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport M1
They have big patches of foot long grass not far off the fairway on a number of holes. None of us who hit in those patches were able to even find the balls. Rest of rough was just average.

Anyone taken a look at the Standings page on Fantrax? There is an option to show projected standings for the rest of the season. They look pretty accurate to me!
Look at Geeking Golf, projected to go 5-1 the rest of the way!!!! Would be quite a reclamation project!
So, most projected points still only gets me third place.......

Journeyed up to Cincinnati for my son's wedding this past weekend. Got to play a round with my son and a couple of his groomsmen on Friday. Played a municipal course called "Blue Ash Golf Club". Have to say it was one of the most impressive golf courses and clubhouses for a Muni I've ever played. Great condition, very interesting design, and the hills and slopes were very challenging to one accustomed to Florida Flat. Only negative was lack of a driving range.
-
So me and Judge Smalls have the most and second most points in Digest (and 3rd and 4th overall), yet are mired together in 6th place. Where's the justice?
