  1. This is why your smarter than me. I'd go first and try to figure it out after I got there haha.
  2. Time for a tank less if you don't plan on moving in the next 10 years! (or have lots of expendable income)
  3. I think Vegas called. They need you urgently for coincidently six weeks!
  4. I'm a numbers nerd instead of an IT nerd and I did pretty well for myself...especially for a fat guy! (term of endearment as well for me)
  5. I never did finish school for "what I wanted to do." A better opportunity presented itself so school took a back seat yet again.
  6. I believe it was more of a term of endearment rather than derogatory
  7. Seriously...he's got the best prices in town!
  8. I noticed that too. Thought about letting a few more responses go up before I did and thought Nah.
  9. Might be. My toes won't randomly go numb like they used to because I had the wrong size on.
  10. Got myself a new pair of golf shoes too! I finally went and got measured by a professional for shoes last year. I had been wearing size 11 Nikes. Turns out I need size 9.5 4E(extra wide). So basically all of my shoes, including golf shoes, didn't work anymore. Played all season in tennis shoes.
  11. I read that last part in a Liam Neeson voice. Totally worth it!
  12. As soon as the UFC evolved and brought in women who can stand up and were more well rounded - her career ended.
  13. All caught up. I'm a bit surprised honestly...
  14. Thanks for the hint. Catching up now.
  15. I want to come visit the labs sometime soon. I have a big more a drive to get there however. About 9 hours. I have family in Leesburg up north. My cousin is the super at Rasberry Falls so I'm hoping to make a golf trip out of it. Visit family, play golf, then head the extra 3 hours south to the labs one day.
  16. Hit 70* yesterday which is completely unusual for Ohio. Today is cooler at 40* but the sun is at least out.
  17. I had to hurry up and vote for the 21-30 range while I still can. 2 months and I move up a bracket.
  18. I got a certificate for a new pair of golf shoes of my choosing. Now to find a good stylish golf shoe that comes in an extra wide 4e.... Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  19. Go to the live channel and then scroll down. It should, in white, show you what is next, then what is on currently, and if you keep scrolling you can click either "A new Breed of Golf" or "Hank Haney Golf Radio" and it should take you to todays show for either. The interview on Breeds was just a little more than half way through his show. Hanks was right at the beginning.
  20. Of course not! Hank's interview was honestly terrible compared to Breed's. Hank was just pulling things out of his ass it seemed in any attempt to discredit the testing. Mentioning this would help bring credit to MGS. I did see Hank give a shout out to MGS and say he likes their work and while I hope this true, it almost seems it is just an attempt to save face.
  21. So funny little story about Breed continuing to questing the testing. A little quick background about my work before I get into the story. I'm a commercial underwriter for one of the biggest banks in the world. I look at business lending deals all day long which includes a deep dive into all company and personal financials. I then take that data and analyze it vs. industry standards and expectations, blah blah blah. Long story short, we work with numbers all day and do a lot of work with statistics. A guy I work with was asking me what I was listening to this morning on our way to lunch. I told him it was about MGS and told him a little of the backstory behind MGS and what they stands for. I told him how there are two different ways to test basically, robotic and statically using real humans. He immediately jumped in and said "The robot test wouldn't make any sense as long as you did enough (meaning 1000-10000 shots)with a human and threw out the worst shots using an outlier detection system (his exact words...notice how they match X's because he's using a true method) it would give you the true performance. A robot would only give you the top capabilities of a product, not necessarily what works." I was surprised at first because, as I mentioned, this guy doesn't golf at all. I think part of the problem is that these guys (Breed, Haney, etc.) only know what their told, sort of. Now this isn't necessarily their fault as the robot has been the standard for testing for years and as X mentioned during the interviews, there is a place for it. I think what scares them, to some degree, is that this goes against the grain. They're having a hard time grasping the concept of statistics (a lot of people do) because all they can picture in their head is that a human cant consistently make the same swing every time, which is true. But I think that is the exact point of why MGS's test is a better form of data than a robot. It takes into account that very fact. I think it would be very interesting to somehow get someone from that side of things to be apart of the Most Wanted testing or any testing for that matter so they could get up close and personal with the data and truly understand what it is telling us.
  22. Congrats man! I had that feeling about 5 months ago and have been very happy with the outcome.
