re: Do you call your children's teachers "Mrs."?
Posted by DestrehanTiger on 5/29/26 at 11:50 am to BurningHeart
Since I have had kids, when my kids are around, I basically call everyone by what the kids call them.
My wife is now mom
My parents by their grandparent names
Friends by Mr or Mrs. XXX
Teachers by Mrs. XXX
I'm not sure why I do it, but that's how it's happened.

More people need to understand that they should do this. I can't stand when I'm waiting to tee off, then a group rolls up on me to watch.
Yeah, the only time I ever get close to the tee box when the group in front is on it is if I need to move away from the previous green to get out of the way of the group trailing me.

To be fair to the guy, if you never said "Want to join our group?", I may have thought the same thing he did. I could see him thinking that if you didn't mention it explicitly, you wouldn't want a stranger to join you.
Having said that, I also wouldn't be up your arse the entire time if I knew the course was crowded. I would purposely be holding back to avoid the awkward situation.

Maintain movement of all groups when a faster group is coming through
I would argue that when the course is full, there should be no expectation of playing through. If you are on a public course Friday-Sunday, there is no point in letting a group through. All you are doing is trading places with that group. They will finish 10 minutes before you do. So, avoid the cluster of 8 guys trying to walk by each other through a narrow door and continue as is.
I say this as the guy who usually has a nervous breakdown when my playing partners are playing slow and I see a group behind us.

I have to disagree. Maybe it was Mirren or the writers, but none of her actions seemed believable. I would have to pause it to figure out why the hell she would do what she is doing or why anyone would allow it. It just kept taking me out of the show.

I was just happy they had a big finale show this year. I like seeing them all dressed up and back to civilization. I bet they don't keep it because it was an additional expense.
And it was a total waste of money. They didn't even have a reunion. For years I have been saying that I miss the LA finale because it gives the contestants a chance to watch the show and comment on things they didn't realize. I would have loved some questions on:
What did Dee think when Johnathan was making her look crazy?
Why did everyone always go to Cirie whenever a decision had to be made?
If Tiff was in over Aubrey, who would've voted for Tiff?
Steph, why didn't you try to save your skins more and throw Johnathan under the bus?
What did everyone think was happening with Devens and the idol at tribal?
There are tons more, but we got none of that. All we got was Aubrey's victory speech, Johnathan's loser speech, and Joe's view on final tribal. Why did we even come back to LA? It was all made worse by the fact that they wasted 20 minutes setting up fire making only to spoil it.
All in all, it may be the worst Surivor finale that I can remember.

It sounds like you are ready. You are dedicated enough to go to a fertility clinic and put forth money to have a child. Nothing anybody says here will give you that much advice because you just don't have a clue how it is going to be. It's going to be hard, but it is also the whole reason we are here. So, dive in, enjoy, and good luck.

I just read an article on CBS Sports that says Villa has to finish 5th for the 6th place team to get in. If Villa finish 4th, that does not happen. I believe it is due to the 5th place team going into qualifying.

It would be nice if more people walked I just have a hard time seeing it since the biggest age range of golfers is 18-35 and you just rarely see that age range walking.
I am not a member anywhere, so I am usually at public and semi-private places. I rarely see anyone walking, but when I do, it usually tends to be younger people. The older guys are set in their ways that golf is a riding sport. It's always funny when someone older at a course is shocked to see someone walking. It usually goes something like:
Starter: Carts are over there
Me: That's ok, we are walking
Starter: Walking?!? Really. Why?
It's funny, but it is also sad. When it's 60 out, everyone that can should be walking. As you said, I think it is a more pleasant experience. It makes the slow rounds at public courses bearable. The extra few minutes between shots is spent chatting and "exercising", instead of sitting.

Being able to fill divots even when walking is nice.
I bought an extra attachment for my pushcart just to add a spot for a sand bottle. I don't want anyone to have a reason to bitch about being behind walkers. If we are going to start the revolution to get walking to be the norm in the US, we can't have any excuses working against us.

I wonder if Jonathan would have gone harder at Aubrey in the final tribal if he knew how the vote was going to go. I could see holding back because it may look bad if you are mean, but he probably should have called out her non existent game. He also should've asked the jury to vote for the best player and not their friend. Ask them if they can go to bed tonight comfortably with who they decide to vote for.
Also, it may be time to get rid of the final 3. The third person rarely gets votes. It's like the NFL moving back the extra point. When it becomes unnecessary, it's time to change it up. I don't know the solution, but something needs to change. I feel for the person who gets 0 votes and has to sit there with a stupid smile.

Why is NUCLR golf reporting that ESPN is reporting something. Where is the ESPN report? It could be true, but I am wondering where it is.
re: Lane agrees with many of us on here: Its not worth playing hard OOC games
Posted by DestrehanTiger on 5/20/26 at 3:07 pm to Fun Bunch
Lane just made a great argument why the expanded playoff is going to kill the regular season. There will be no motivation to schedule good OOC and less motivation to win big conference games. All that will matter is getting enough wins to be sharp for the playoffs.
I am not arguing that Lane is wrong to take this approach. You have to devise a plan that fits your situation. I am just arguing that the days of do or die games from September through November are dwindling.

They also have more course knowledge. The PGA always goes to courses that both Americans and Euros have played. The Euros always go to a DP Tour course, which they have played but the Americans don't.
Eh, that is true for the Euro venues, but not necessarily for the US. The US venues have hosted major championships, but they aren't regular occurrences on tour. Also, the US has only lost one event at home in decades. Bethpage hosted the 2019 PGA Championship and FedEx events in 2012 and 2016. Many of the players didn't play in both the Ryder Cup and those FedEx events. The PGA Championship may as well have been at a completely different course with how the messed up the set up for the Ryder Cup.

The other thing, the format is out of whack. The alternating shot format is more a Scottish thing than international to the game. How many American golfers frequent a golf course and play alternating shot? But in Scotland it is normal. Collectively, most Americans will tell you they hate to play this format, instead they would say Scramble is more in keeping with the game. Each player is hitting the next shot.
I think the exact opposite. Fourballs is not team golf. I like that the Walker Cup is all singles and foursomes. If I was changing anything, I would completely get rid of fourballs. I don't care if that could negatively impact the USA. Alt shot is just a much more entertaining event than fourballs.

I get replacing Southampton with Middlesbrough, but, if Southampton were cheating in season, wouldn't it make sense for them to have been removed from the playoff entirely. I know you can't go back on this now, but I am just wondering if Wrexham has issued any statements claiming they should have been playing Millwall in the playoff while Hull played Middlesbrough in the first round.

Everyone was waiting for someone to make a move on Sunday and it just happened to be a guy no one was expecting some we have to now downplay his great play and say the course was setup improperly.
People were complaining about the set up way before Sunday. Rory's comments that got everyone's panties in a twist were before the weekend (I think). Giving Rai his due while also questioning the course and course set up is ok.
If their plan was to have a bunched leaderboard that lead to an exciting Sunday, it didn't work. That could be because everyone but Rai shite the bed. It was still the result.
Shinnecock should show everyone how different these two places can be. I still enjoyed the tournament and prefer this to the typical birdiefests that the PGA tour is.
High risk high reward (Shinnecock) > Low risk low reward (Aronimink) > Low risk high reward (TPC Craig Ranch, at least before their renovation last year)

Maybe this is real, but I feel like I have to question everything now with AI. The words alternate between being written backward and forward. The file cabinet says Safari forward then backward. When he is walking out of the store, some words are reversed and some aren't. Maybe there is an explanation, but it has me questioning things.
