re: Ted Scott One of Us
Posted by grsharky on 4/2/26 at 2:33 pm to IH8ThreePutts
I saw him almost get in a fight with a fan during a US Open practice round at Oakmont back in 2016. Bubba Watson duck hooked a drive and a fan next to the tee box yelled, “look out Ted, Bubba will throw you under the bus for that!”. He came right up to the rope and got in the guys face and had to be pulled away.

re: Why the abject hatred for Duke basketball?

I went to the Duke/Maryland game in College Park back in 2002. I've never felt hatred like I did in Cole Field House that day. Maryland beat them and went on to win the natty.

I was doing a WVU baseball game on student radio during that WVU/Louisville game. They were watching it back in the studio and we could hear the reactions in our ear pieces and give updates (like anyone was listening to us). When we were up big it was bedlam in our ears and then it got quiet as the lead slipped away.
I watch the Celtics regularly, but not the NBA as a whole. I care about my team, but I’m not watching everyone else night in or night out.

Yep that’s how it works, sometimes it goes into extra holes. That’s always fun because you go back out on 1 and everyone will take their drinks and form a mini gallery.

It is, always fun to see where the flags end up for various players. Always a good food spread afterwards as well!

Our 4th of July Flag tournament. Every player uses their handicap and when you reach it, you place your flag wherever your last shot landed. So if you're a 10 handicap, you put the flag in after your 82nd shot. Always fun to see who can go more than 18 holes.

2003 was also the start of conferences raiding conferences. That year is when the ACC took VT, BC, and Miami out of the Big East.
re: Southwest is Adding Free Starlink Wi-Fi Onboard

My wife, daughter, and mom flew from BWI to LA and back this past week on Southwest, no complaints. This is the first time since they made their changes, actually I think having the guaranteed seats was good for them since my mom is older and daughter is 4. No chance of being separated or having to haggle with anyone.
re: Does anyone have any info on the fall of Jordan Spieth?

Never seemed the same after his blow up on 12 at Augusta. He won the Open after that, but it jus seems that, kids, injuries, etc took their toll on him.
There is a guy who plays with us from time to time who has all woods and hybrids, a pitching wedge, and a putter. He’s in his late 30’s, shoots between 75-80 almost every time. Doesn’t have one normal iron and goes out plays darn well. We asked him if he ever considered using a normal set and he said never.
It’s always amusing when someone plays with him for the first time and then the awe they have when they see how well he does.

He was selling autographed Mox jerseys to raise money for cancer research. I ordered one back in the fall and it said it may be a while because he would sign batches when he felt good enough to do so. It hasn’t come, they can keep the money. RIP
re: The typical U.S. worker has $955 saved for retirement, report finds
Posted by grsharky on 2/7/26 at 2:49 pm to RummelTiger
The other day my wife told me she that a coworker and her were talking about retirement and the coworker said her parents were getting to retire and they only had about $50,000 in savings. We were both like, whew that's not very much, but I guess they are way above average!

I will not be dating Sydney Sweeney if she DMs me, just wanted to get that out there.
I think it will keep chugging fine. It seems like millennials (I’m one) are starting to really catch up after a shaky start. As for Gen Z, they were born into a world with such easy access to the market, and many that I talk to are participating.
Kraft has been on for years and no dice.
Some of the most iconic games in NFL history are remembered because of the weather

I'd like to for us to hit a one million dollars in net worth. It would take a big year in the market to get there, but it's doable.
1. Keep investing/saving around 20-25% of our gross income.
2. Keep my wife's car through this year (2013 Rav4, 180,000 miles). It's still going strong, but you never know when they get that old.
3. Stop buying frivolous things. I don't waste money on big toys, but I'm prone to some spontaneous spending online, and it can add up.
I've been running a lot of financial situations lately and if we keep the pedal down the next few years, we'll be set up nicely.

None for me this year, Aunt Flo was visiting my wife. Also with two kids (9&4), Christmas day starts early and it's a long day. Some years we do it, some years not.

One of my good friends from college has Bills season tickets right in the corner where you were sitting. Said the pick 6 was amazing in person, but you’re right about waiting to make sure it stands.
re: What was the climax of traditional bowl games?

That was a fun week of games! A college buddy of mine was an intern for Gameday and was at the Rose Bowl. He got me a shirt from the game, I still have it somewhere. Just a a cool artifact to have from one of the great games in history.
