Playing Ketchup
1. I saw in writing somewhere this week the phrase "Oscar winning actor Ben Affleck." File that one under "highly misleading."
2. Atticus and Fufu: The Girl on the Bridge (La fille sur le pont) is the best knife-throwing movie ever. Bar none.
3. Figures that in a draft 3 players deep, the Raptors would wind up with the fourth pick. Hope they trade it for someone who can help right away and help a healthy Vince, AD and Mo Pete get to the next level.
4. Sounds to me like the big hitters on this board will eventually learn one of golf's little truths, which is to slow your swing down and get a lot more consistentcy at the cost of a little less distance. I have a chance to play Southern Hills this weekend (going to a wedding in Oklahoma) so I today off to play one of LA's least fine public courses out in the valley. I scored an honest 92, which is about average for me. I hit my 5 irons 175, 6 irons 160, 7 irons 145, 8 irons 135, 9 irons 120, and pitching wedge about 100 (though I seem to be yanking or shanking everything with that particular club lately). I used to hit everything about 10 yards further, but have become much better and a little shorter. Of course, I also got fitted for my last set of Pings, which doesn't hurt.
In any event, my #1 tip for anyone who's shooting 100 and wants to get closer to 90 is LEAVE YOUR DRIVER AT HOME. I don't carry one anymore. I hit my 3 wood about 25 times per round though, with length off the tee varying from 200-250 (so much for consistency, but I never said I'm Annika).
Finally, my fiancee's family had a pet ferret they adopted in 1996. Her little brother named it Annika. She died three months ago, but I'm sure she was smiling today from ferret heaven. Good luck tomorrow, you crazy swede.
