The all-encompassing chase for Lord Stanley's Cup thread 2021!!!!
I didn't see anything tonight to make me think it won't be a sweep. Tampa took their lunch money and sent them away crying.

You have to play to the horn, buzzer, whistle, what the fuck have you. Habs defense did not. Two chances to deflect and they did not

I am a failed human, I have the yips
This is actually the case. The yips diminish as the intake goes up.

What are you listening to right now?
Really like the intro to this. Manu Katche was the drummer on the studio version, not sure if this is him. Oleta Adams is great. It is not, duh

The caring is the issue, for sure. I was so good on shorter putts for so long that when I missed a few I started to question everything and it all sort of avalanched from there. I had a reputation to uphold, dammit. I played last night and missed one 4 footer but made 3 putts from 10'+. The miss was a breaking L-R downhiller , but my trigger was better and the takeaway was smoother. I'm a lot calmer than I was when I started this thread. I have a session with a putting whisperer scheduled for Friday so I'm hopeful.

I don't know. Lightning bullied them pretty good. I'm not sure the Habs can stand up to them.

Canadiens have been really sloppy with the puck. And as I type that they score. 2-1

Nah. I breathe through my eyelids.

I play right handed but I'm amphibious. They forced me to the right side when I started school. Anyway, the LH putter approach isn't that farfetched. I have access to LH tools and will try it. It worked for Notah Begay.

You are correct. I know this. I say all that in my head and then, stiffer than a wedding dick.

I am a failed human, I have the yips
on any putt inside of 10'. I cannot get the putter triggered. I cannot develop a pre-putt routine that allows me to seamlessly take the putter away. When I finally get the putter to move, it is ,of course, jerky and halting. This has been brewing for almost a year but I hit rock bottom Sunday. I missed 3 putts inside of 4' that cost me about $45 in winnings. This is particularly maddening because I went 30 years being an excellent short putter. I have changed putters, stance, grip, you-name-it within the last couple of months. Nothing has made a difference yet. I am only afflicted while putting for real. I can practice putt without any hint of trouble and any putts over 10' don't lock me up. The two putter swings as part of my pre-shot routine are smooth as silk. I used a standard Zebra mallet with a 1.3" oversize Stroke-saver grip for almost 30 years until I thought I needed a change up. I have been using a TaylorMade White Smoke MC 72 for the last few weeks without any better results. Maybe they are too similar to jar me loose. My buddy has 2 Scotty Camerons that I used with horrible results. The lighter heads made me swing harder and that made the spasm even more pronounced. Talk mean to me, ridicule me, whatever but I need help. What do you think, Doctor?

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
If only Back in the 80s, we tore out our sand greens and put in bentgrass greens. There was a firm out of Texas going all across Kansas designing and building these 9-hole courses. One of our members had a kid going to school to be a golf course designer so we had him design ours rather than use the plans that most others use. Anyway, there was a LOT of night putting after the greens were established.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
The course superintendent just texted that a couple of the guilty have come forward. He was the HS principal here for 25 years until he retired 2 years ago. He knows these kids well and has to deal with their shit again. They are going to work off the debt and help fix the green. I voiced the opinion that they were getting off light and some of the other members were quick to say I was out of touch. Maybe I am, but giving these fuck trophies a few hours of basically community service chaps my ass. I have some leftover crawfish tail meat.

Latino/Hispanic Ultimate Catch All Thread of Culture, Language, Food, Travel and Identity (gringos welcome)
I'll rec any mention of chicken hearts. I fry them like I would any other chicken part. How do the latinos do it?

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
This isn't trivial but we don't have an "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" thread. Some member's HS aged kids took carts out on the course after dark. This is the worst of the damage so it could have been much more work to fix. I really want to take a 9-iron to the jacked up 4X4s these entitled pricks were gifted by mommie and daddy. More subtle ideas are welcome as well.

Getting old sucks
I had both of mine done in 2005. The last x-ray showed no wear. Get it done and don't look back. Eta: last x-ray was in January this year. Point is the replacements are long lasting.
