Affordable Watches
That’s odd for that watch- did you ever get it looked at? That looks a lot like a Black Bay 58 for 1/9 the price. Seiko more like Toyota - super high quality and reliability for its price point and traditional designs rooted in mechanical precision. Citizen is more like Mazda- very high value at its price point for the innovation, features and forward leaning design you get.

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
The taking a divot thing was driving me crazy. He said I was “picking” but I’m not sure what the problem with that was other than a lack of consistency. If the point is to swing through the ball and make contact on the downswing, I can do that, and if I take a divot that’s fine. By the numbers that’s what I was doing, according to the trackman and was getting 120-135 out of my 9. But I don’t see the point of intentionally driving the goddamn club into the ground, and either way I can’t think about that at the same time I’m trying to swing through.

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
I’m going to get an MRI later this week to be sure, but based on wishing super hard not to have a spinal injury and the similarity to a bruised rib I think it’s a strained or torn intercostal muscle. Leaning that direction. The specific change is hard to explain without more of a vocabulary, but it was multiple things at the same time. It involved lag, relaxing my wrists, taking a divot, and shallowing. The last one seemed odd since the video analysis indicates that I don’t have a problem coming over the top. Anyway it more than I could be intentional about, and my tempo and sequence got all fucked up. Where I wound up was turning my hips with trail forearm perpendicular to my hipbone and my torso bent over to the side at impact with the ground which felt very out of sync and uncomfortable. The results were pretty terrible and he kept saying things like “better” and “almost” and that’s when I asked him about it not feeling natural.

Maybe this was just me, but my 10/22 takedown will cycle using Aguila subsonic ammo and a Q El Camino suppressor, provided that the lockup is clean and tight. YMMV

That’s what a lifetime of bad posture does, y’all. Stretch, use a standup desk, hike with a backpack on, do yoga, even get some of those straps that pull your shoulders back. Do whatever takes. The older you get, the harder it is to correct.

Thinking about a King Cobra. It feels better in my hand than a Python. Anybody have thoughts or first hand experience?

Yep, but the instructor in question was at Mo Willie. The instructor at Golf Galaxy didn’t mention any issues with my downswing or posture. Her focus was sequence and the need to relax and follow through.

Maybe it was but my trackman numbers were all OK going into the session- ie attack angle, smash factor, distance etc. I just wasn’t consistent yet.

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
I was making stready progress for 6 straight weeks and then took a lesson from a guy who really didn't like my downswing and spent an hour trying to change it. In doing so, it completely broke my swing. I'm fine with that since I'm new to the game and understand that sometimes we have to move back a little to move forward. However - while this was happening I told him he was asking me to do something that didn't feel natural and hurt but we kept after it. By that night, I had developed so much pain in the area below my trail arm shoulder blade that it felt like a cracked rib - in other words it hurts to roll over in bed, breath, laugh, or cough, and when I sneeze it's almost like a railroad spike in the back. And it's been that way ever since with no improvement - 7 full days. Two questions - First - I have coached wrestling, boxing, and taught people how to lift weights properly. There are times when things feel awkward, but as a coach whenever someone told me something felt unnatural or hurt, I always wanted to take a step back and reassess, because mechanics are highly individual. I'm not blaming the instructor because I'm old enough to know better but shouldn't a golf swing feel fluid and somewhat easy? Should it ever hurt? Second - has anybody had an injury like this and if so, what was it and how long did it take to heal? I can't execute anything more than half a backswing, but I can pitch, chip and putt so I'll be working on my short game until this gets better.

I bought the Sunday stand bag from Costco and I like it. I already had their Lobo for Par 3 and driving range use.

Trump’s America
The line of reasoning goes like this: Fuentes = Nazi = National Socialism = Socialism = The Left = Libs = Anyone outside of MAGA Thus, Fuentes and the Groypers are libs, libs are Nazis, ergo, the libs killed Charlie Kirk and anyone who says otherwise is a lib and an accessory.

We’ll see. I don’t see them toning down. Take matt forney. This was two days ago: “The American Reichstag fire” This was 12 hours ago: “Groypers are functionally libtards” This was 35 mins ago: “If Trump does not crush the left, average Americans *will* take matters into their own hands. The American Years of Lead have begun.”

- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
That tracks. Groypers have a real weird sense of humor.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
I get it but also socialists and anti-fascists across the world know Bella Ciao- Trump’s America
Nope. That’s a big part of my premise. At this stage the specifics of who did it doesn’t matter.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
The young lefties all know Bella Ciao for some reason, especially DSA types. There’s a heavy Austin DSA overlap with Los Verdes and La Murga has a song set to the tune of Bella Ciao. - Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
