I guess I should throw a couple caveats in here.

1. I don't hit it that far consistently, but when I have a nice, smooth (not trying to kill it) swing, that's what I hit.

2. Like I said, the lofts on my clubs are pretty strong. My 9 iron is probably only two or three degrees off of what most people's 8 irons are.

3. I am a horrible golfer, primarily because I can't do shit when I get within 50 yards of the green. can't chip. can't pitch. can't putt. I typically golf right around 100. Best round ever was 90. Despite my suckiness, I still love the game and can only get better (this is only my third season). Lessons are the key. I take them every spring.

While we're on annoying jargon and once-original Board-isms that have become stale, I have grown weary of the [screen name] + [spouse/significant other/child/pet] combination. It has crossed the line from cute to cutesy. It's too much like referring to oneself in the third person. The word is "my."

She rechristened herself "Xtina" when she lauched her new album and look.

Meh is not TwoP jargon. It's actually a rather common expression of meh-ness.

As I have admitted, I am not a good golfer. I hit my sand wedge 110. I hit my pitching wedge 135. I hit my 9 iron 150. I hit my eight about 160. I hit my seven 170-175. Six = 185. Anything lower than that and I'm too inconsistent to give you a distance. I've played with Chevalier. He'll tell you I hit the ball far, but not very accurate (with any consistency).

I've seen the "meh" thing in a lot of other places too.

I haven't seen meh. What does it mean?

Meh is sort of like whatever, except not quite as dimissive.

It is a bit like a verbal shrug, I think.

What? Are you saying you've never seen that term before? Ever?

Confidential to all FB posters who couldn't kayak their way out of a soggy paper bag

If you get FX, do yourself a favor and tape/Tivo the "Lucky" marathon on Memorial Day. It's probably only six or so episodes, but almost all of them are great.

OK, how about this - she looks great in her white pants and matching Mercedes shirt and cap. Too bad she can't bring a purse on the course to "finish" the look.
