    That was my trend until about two weeks ago.  I went from a 7.6 index to 10.7 index in 3 or 4 rounds.  Some low scores rolled off and were replaced with some low 90’s and high 80’s.  Just when you think you’ve got something figured out the golf gods put you in your place.  

    The inevitable 97 after 6 consecutive rounds in the 80s will be disheartening.

    So that's three houses destroyed, correct?

    Serious HOLY SHIT.

     

    The 3 houses across the street have been condemned and need to be torn down, 10 more in the neighborhood damaged and waiting to for inspection to determine if they need to be torn down.

    The lessons are starting to pay off.

    Still dropping. I didn’t have a lot of time to play recently so I was expecting a little bit of regression, ended up with my best round to date. I’ve dropped almost 4 strokes in 5 rounds from a 19.7 to a 16.0. Round on Sunday was worth a 12.7

    You must have hated listening to the announcers yesterday explaining who was and was not going to make the field of 30 playing in Atlanta.

     

    Yes, that was annoying. And it was 10x worse when we had to hear about every possibility for every guy to win the cup every time someone made a birdie. It’s just a better format. I get that some people don’t like it. But those people are wrong.

    Refresher on how they handicap the FedEx Club Championship (for the record, I think it is a very regarded way to appease the simpleton fans)

     

    Call me a simpleton if you want, but finding a way for the winner of the tournament to win the tour championship and the broadcast not have to spend a stupid amount of time explaining who needs to finish where for a specific player to win is a big improvement. Well player X needs to finish at 3rd or better to win. Player Y needs to finish 4th or better and have player X finish outside of the top 5 but if he wins he only needs player X to finish outside the top 3. Player Z has a chance if he wins and player X finishes here and player Y finishes here. 

    Then you end up having a guy win the tournament but not the championship so you have two guys up there “we’re both winners!”

    If leak small and under ground, etc the odorant can get absorbed into the soil or concrete, whatever it's passing though leaving only the odorless natural gas getting through.  The odorant is really only highly effective for knowing if an exposed connection or pipe is leaking.  If I'm living in that neighborhood I'm getting a natural gas detector for my house pronto. (note - carbon monoxide detectors won't alert you to gas leaks either, they are for improper ventation from burning the gas, not the gas itself)

    Interesting. My guess is that’s what happened with one of the earlier house explosions in that area. Apparently someone was doing some sort of digging near the foundation and nicked it bent the gas line and over time it developed into a sufficient enough leak over time that it built up in the house and exploded. 

    My boss lives close enough to this recent one that the explosion rattled her windows and she installed national gas detectors a few days after it happened.

    Just how much gas would it take to do that? How long would you have to leave it uncapped and pouring out of a 1/2 inch gas line. Couldn’t they smell it?8562bb2c75d0699ea7b6e99c9fcc9744.jpg

    That’s the part that I don’t get. With 6 people in the house, how did none of them notice the smell of the house filling with enough gas to create an explosion of that size.

    here is some further HOLY SHIT.

    This is not the first time a home has exploded in Plum Borough. Just last year in April, a home on Hialeah Drive was leveled.

    Something seriously fucked up in that area.

    I used to live in plum borough. Thankfully just renting until we bought our house. And thankfully we make it out without exploding. 

  9. Meth lab?

    Nope. Apparently a guy that lived a few doors down was over working on the water heater. Next door neighbor and another friend from down the street and his kid were all over at the house. 5 dead. One of the homeowners got blown out the back of the house into the yard. He’s the only only one that’s still alive, but in critical condition with burns on 80% of his body.

    Yup. Oregon did it first.

    PSU’s colors were pink and black from 1887-1890. The pink on the baseball teams uniforms faded too quickly so they changed to navy and white.

    Jordan's last several seasons in a nutshell. One stroke off the lead, 2nd shot from the fairway on a par 5 and he goes out of his way to bring trouble into play with nothing to gain. Washes his ball. 

    Such a ridiculous decision right there.

    15 tour players average under par on 3's.  30 on par 4's.   all average under par on par 5's.  there can be a chance for eagles on par 5's and easy chances for birdies.   there is near zero chance for eagles on par 3's and 4's.

    Edit - slope and difficulty of each course does come into play.

    58 is a total not a score relative to par. Tour scoring average on par 4s is 4.04. On par 5s it’s 4.64. 

    Two par 4s is 8.08.

    Two par 5s is 9.28.

    The total score for a par 70 course would naturally be expected to be less than on a par 72.

    By your averages we’d expect the total for the par 72 to be 1.2 strokes higher and the average score to par 0.8 better.

    actually generally tougher because you only have 2 par 5's.

    Are you saying that it’s harder to make a 3 on those two extra par 4s than it would be than if they were par 5s? Because that’s what it seems like you’re saying. Or is my sarcasm meter broken?

    Nicole Auerbach pointed out that West Coast visitors to Penn State will have to take a smaller plane to land at State College. They’ll have to refuel somewhere in the Midwest. 

    While I have no problem with Big Ten expansion, I think they’ll run into a host of travel issues like the aforementioned short runways. 

    They operate 737s out of that airport, just not fully loaded. Teams will just send equipment on a separate plane. 

    USC, Arizona, Oregon state, sdsu have all managed to get there for football games before.
