S&P

what kind of sand is that, i only ask because i tried it once and used the wrong sand, it was too fine and became compacted and now that area although it grows grass tends to dry out quickly in the summer, so i have has had to add material to try and aerate that area.

i think that the powers that be didn't like DJ's -20 in the fall and were going to make the course firm and fast regardless.

two way miss not good

Regarding CTE and youth football. I coached my sons teams throughout pop warner. Its a little different now in the older divisions (not so much by weight but by age) , but back then it was a combination of weight and age, for instance we had older/lighters - kids that were older but undersized weight wise- ostensibly to protect them - but those kids were the most "football aware" . 99% of the kids at young ages, i'd say up to puberty, aren't playing the game where they are exposing their head in contact - they are more dancing than hitting. unfortunately there is that 1% , that i call football aware that are the kids who aren't afraid of the contact and , too often, lead with their head no matter how much you try and coach that out of them. Those are the kids that are the most accomplished in the game and go on to play beyond high school. so yes those kids are exposed to years of head contact and where CTE can become an issue and its mostly when they run into like minded kids on other teams. i coached a couple of kids who had concussion issues in PW, so much so that we had to end their seasons. One ended up as the gatorade player of the year in Ri his senior year and went on to play at Bryant and made it to an NFL camp - so basically 15 years or football, i worry about him. Another continued with his concussion issues as a HS freshman and quit football. My point is for most kids playing youth football the exposure minimal, so if the kid wants to play let them play, but there are some kids , and you can see it early, who are headed in the wrong direction and they are usually the ones that play for an extended period. Personally i played organized football six years from puberty through senior year in HS with what i believe was only one concussion without any lasting effects

This is what concerns me, the "free rider" effect - those not getting stuck will benefit from those getting stuck as all our lives move towards something resembling normal with herd immunity. It may not be a big deal now because i think there is sufficient interest to get the vaccine to get past this phase and open up fully , but if the threat persists (likely?) I think people will be reluctant to get stuck a 2nd, 3rd (n times -think flu shots), so we loose herd immunity and risk more government and business restrictions. Some may conclude there needs to be a stick (or carrot) for people to get boosters as needed - the vaccine passport? or maybe something more elegant - UBI?. You can argue the government or businesses are wrong to apply more restrictions, but its the world we live in, not the one we want to live in. I mean no one wants to pay taxes, but we "accept" it to fund public goods i.e. those products that people wouldn't pay for on their own unless required to - this is the "free rider" theory as explained in economic theory. I view the vaccine process as analogous in some ways.

there is a stretch I195 West in Swansea that is burnt happened some time the beginning of this week

yeah full bloom down here, aquidneck island

think you have to add bryson, his short game is better than people think. DJ just because, dark horse westwood (but his putting always lets him down) need a good putter which is why i might event consider Reed as much as I hate him. BTW did you see they paired him with berger 1st two rounds who's called him out for cheating before. love it

i have him in my pool as a dark horse, cant bend his knee though, so i have my doubts but the guy always plays big in majors

from what i understand that's a "speed" drill he does on occasion to get his swing speed as high as it can be w/o regard for ball flight. but yeah i be afraid i'd never swing a golf club again after that, but his iron/short game is better than people give him credit for

I like this chart , scoring average (25 min rds) Have to like spieth, rory, DJ? Would like to know who some of those circles are between Rory and hideki

I don’t have a favorite masters drink, but enjoy a chilied (store the bottle and glass in the freezer)grey goose on the rocks while watching any sport

We do something similar, split pot for winner and low team, best 4 out 6

Little further south

Thanks will continue to lurk here especially during big storms

Yeah taking a job down south

28 @ UUU, local backyard stations around me stayed above freezing, touch of frost though.

1st cut yesterday

SI am always looking for teacher tips, I follow this guy on insta, mike bender, does a nice job . I have a problem with the sway on the backswing, this particular lesson he teaches the turn to avoid the sway. He is based out of Lake Mary Florida. Gonna have the wife gift me some lessons from him when we get down there. Can’t seem to get this link to work https://www.instagram.com/p/CNK7NFoMjdf/?igshid=3zxvdzcx9d56

26.6 @ UUU this am, last morning below freezing here?

think we are safe here not supposed to get much below 30 here, but monday did surprise with a 28 @ UUU (was above freezing at mi casa which is closer to the water than the airport) when we were forecast to stay above freezing. bringing the fig tree and hibiscus in just to be safe.

Forsythias popping here

.7 overnight @ UUU, .88 on sunday. good drink this week

Not sure if some one said this - I think the reason behind this school of thought is if you put down pre- emergent, busting holes in the surface after you put it down renders it useless, so if your going to do it, do it before

Roger that and I was just looking for an excuse to talk about working out.
