We already have the “got problems?” Thread….. hahahahaha. I’ll do it though, you know I will.

Popular Post bens197 Posted August 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2021 So on a follow-up from my wife's procedure last Tuesday... To those of you who did reach out, you guys rock...This community is 2nd to none...Being able to share this in a way that allows me to be candid but not feel like I am over-sharing has been profoundly therapeutic. Recovering slowly but surely...pathology revealed significant damage to her lower abdomen which will inevitably lead to a hysterectomy. The past few days and realizing that this is an indefinite conclusion to having children that she will carry has been the most difficult aspect. Follow-up surgery will require a more intensive procedure at a later time but for the moment, it's quality family time and managing pain. Again, you guys are the best. sirchunksalot, Shankster, silver & black and 11 others 14 Quote Titleist TSI3 LAGolf DJ 65 5 TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Mizuno HMB MP20 3i Nippon Modus 3 120S Mizuno Pro 223 4-P Nippon Modus 3 115X Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

Getoffmylawn Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 While I'm normally not a big fan of the No Laying Up podcast, the most recent release is a good one. The guest is Tom Whitney, who just secured full status on the Korn Ferry Tour for next year. Tom is an Air Force Academy graduate who served 4 years on active duty as a missile officer. His older brother, Bob, who you'll hear from the podcast also went to the Air Force Academy (Tom and Bob were teammates on the academy golf team) was assigned here at US Strategic Command with me as an intelligence officer. Bob and I played a few rounds together, and he was his brother's biggest fan to say the least. Bob took his own life last winter after battling depression; since then Tom has championed veteran suicide awareness initiatives. Here's a link to the non-profit he mentions in the podcast. https://1tribefoundation.org Tom will tee it up at the Pinnacle Bank Championship here in Omaha tomorrow.

Shankster Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Well, our daughter decided that she doesn’t want to do Cross Country. It was 106° today with the heat index, and supposed to be similar the next two days of try outs. Cant say that I blame her. Plus, she was about a minute slow of the required pace… probably because the grass was about to spontaneously combust from being so hot. Seems dangerous to hold practice when it is that hot, especially for people from the north… that’s just too hot.
