So, a 250, you say?  What if I only need 5'2"?

Even the rich Saudis get by with a bone saw and a 55-gal bag...
 
EDIT:  Oh, and Congrats to them on their 2nd-place win at the Masters!  

Confirm who one of the top 5 sponsors of the LPGA is and lemme know if the LIV guys are in the wrong…….

If you're talking about Aramco, Norman was wrong about that.  They are not, in fact, the top sponsor of the LPGA.

As usual, not as simple as it seems. They heavily sponsor the Ladies European Tour which has significant corporate ties to the LPGA. Also the coveted F1 is off limits I suppose along with countless other things. If you’re gonna be consistent then it’s gonna be a boring road for you. Their money is sprinkled all over the place. Just saying.

It sure was a shame to watch the guy from the league that plays 54 holes crash and burn at the masters...after 54 holes.

Obviously you’re not a golfer. Serious ignorance on display. That was supposed to be the narrative but it didn’t play out. Just because one guy didn’t win doesn’t fulfill the BS. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@Legume has obviously not passed a critical thinking skills test recently, amirite?

You are right.

Pete, if you've been constipated the whole time the forum was down, please go take care of it now before posting any further. I am not aware of any narratives, it's a joke, sweetheart.

That’s hilarious. 😂😂😂

That's the problem with critical thinking tests, they don't evaluate for a sense of humor.  You can ace one of those and be the guy who's always the last to get the joke.

While it may be coincidental, the Masters low amateur, Sam Bennett cited the physical challenge of walking the course for the final round and the impact that had on his game.

Yep. Maybe you two geniuses can explain the joke. The setup, the punchline etc. I bet it’s a good one. 😂

They played more holes than normal and the pace of play was agonizingly slow. No coincidence. Having said that golf is an extremely difficult and fickle game. Heck Rory missed the cut. So did JT. It’s not a simple straight line equation.

Makes Phil’s last round even more impressive.  Saw Phil win those BellSouth classics in the mid 2000s.

Shockingly good. He missed a ton of short puts throughout the last couple days too. Could have been even better.

Give us a second to find someone to professionally administer it online.

Picked this up during the forum outage. Dropped my daughter off at the mall and decided to stop in and see if the local purveyor of wrist adornments had anything.  Turns out they did, and I am loving it.

Yes, but most of them played around 30 holes on Sunday.

Bennett shot 80 at my home course less than a month ago, in a collegiate tournament.

Nice!  Let me know how you like it.  Looker into these things a few times before, but never pulled the trigger.

I will def report back.

Back when I decided I need to stop killing myself via the rock-star life style, one of my goals was to improve sleep.  All kinds of things are fixed if you can fix that.

Theoretically, at least.

I got a sleep study, new mattress, devices to monitor my sleep for feedback, forcing myself to go to be earlier, braces for carpel tunnel, CPAP (no longer use) etc.

Collectively, all these things have vastly improved it.  I have graphs and data to show for it that, compared to the days of yore, contrast greatly.  I don't know how I survived on 4-6 hours of crappy sleep a night for decades.

I actually look forward to bed time now where I used to fight it.

When I saw these on woot.com for $750 off retail (maybe 450 off the lowest regular prices I could find), I pulled the trigger and here we are.

you didnt LOVE your cpap.......

@nolaegghead how were you able to quit the cpap? And how did you know it was ok to do so? I hate mine but if I don’t use it I feel like hell the next day.

I’ve used it at least 150 times and it’s only stayed on all night about 3 times.

long story short, I don’t have apnea when sleeping on my side but I couldn’t sleep on my side for any length because of carpel tunnel.  The braces let me side sleep.  Also finding a pillow that keeps my head more in plane with my back helps.

This is similar to my personal experience.  Body position and spine alignment is huge factor in my quality of sleep.  Same with no chocolate or sugar close to bed time.

Did you rely on reading the AHI data from your CPAP machine to tell you you weren't having any/many apneas/hypopneas or were you going by "your gut" so to speak?

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

Thanks for the reply Nola and Ozzie. I would love to be able to get rid of it but not if it means going back to feeling terrible every day. Glad you were able to get to a point it was no longer necessary.
