    Fore!!! The Golf Thread

    I broke my thumb a few years back, and was unable to play for a couple months. I found a guy online who resonated with me on the golf swing, and have put his teachings to practice. Gained about 10 yards per iron, and found my ball striking to be more consistent. Guy’s name is George Gankas, and...

    Fore!!! The Golf Thread

    Been playing since I was 12. Played my first tournament at 14. Grew up in Arlington, playing at Washington Golf on Glebe Rd. Moved to Charlotte, and lived there for almost 30 years, playing out of various places, lastly Carolina Golf Club…a fun, old Donald Ross design that got redone by a guy...

    Oh, I expect Chatfield to get a heavy dose of Tom Wilson tomorrow night. Slump has been mainly defensive. Mistakes by defenseman, and sketchy goaltending has plagued the Caps for the past few weeks. They’ve scored goals in most games, but are giving them up at a much higher rate than before...

    Sounds like just the sort of self flagellation I’m into!

    The rule to not allow pushing or pulling a ball carrier by the offensive team had been in play for over 70 years, and I can’t recall any disputed plays/results because of it. Players knew the rule, and knew it would be a penalty if they came in to “block” their teammate forward. Defense stopped...

    Well, for many years in the NFL it was deemed an illegal play. Pushing or pulling a teammate with the ball was always a penalty, until the league changed the rules about 20 years ago. This debate always reminds me of an article in the Washington Post I read when I was a kid, probably 50-55...

    What’s your favorite ‘Comfort Food’?

    Really? Only ones that I’ve found that taste like a cookie to me. The Chocolate and Peanut Butter ones, not so much.

    Not to derail this thread, but something really cool happened to me today. I was working at the golf shop, and in came one of my boyhood idols. My mom grew up in Ann Arbor, and whenever we were up there, when we would drive by the newly built Crisler Center, my grandfather would always say...

    It’s a bit of a juggling act. Transfers have become huge in building a consistent winner, but you’ve got to be bringing in quality freshman as well to keep the program moving forward. Look at Duke. They’ve made the final four with five be freshman playing big minutes. My thought is that you...

    Sure, but I’ll be getting the bulk of it. I’m old, slow, out of shape, but I can still bang down the 3.

    Not too surprising, such is the way of college basketball these days. They were losing Queen, Reese, Miguel, Geronimo, regardless. Williams may have a chance of talking some of the others to stay, but he has work to do in the portal, to keep them relevant next season, and in recruiting and...

    Buzz Williams is a good coach. I’m surprised he left A&M where he graduated from (an adjunct campus). He did well at Va Tech, basically rebuilding that program. He’s not a big needle mover, but a solid basketball coach. Wondering what he will be able to do on the recruiting front in the...

    Yeah, and I believe that was one of the points that ticked Willard off…he didn’t think Evans was doing enough to bring money into the program.

    There is a call to the NCAA, that looks as though they are heeding, to cap NIL money for all D1 schools across the country. What DGF and I are alluding to is the probability that those jocks sniffing donors will find ways to supplement those monies against NCAA rules.

    I don’t know exactly how many football players get paid, I’m not that plugged in. I hear from people back home who have some knowledge about what’s going on, but it’s all hearsay. Big time recruits are getting the bulk, some 7 figures, so I’m just trying to extrapolate. It could be more, but I...

    Lady Terps with a two point lead over #1 seed, and defending national champions South Carolina, at half. Playing very good defense, and getting scoring from everyone. South Carolina playing a bit chippy and physical, but that’s not surprising from a Dawn Staley coached team.

    This has been going on for some time now, and the relationship between Willard and Evans has been contentious, at best. Football program was getting 5 times the amount that the basketball program was. Someone mention elsewhere that yeah, but there’s way more players in football. Well, not...
