Posted this on the Master's thread but apropos this thread too. Last year there was a drive to show up because they wanted to prove that they could still compete. This year, most of the dude's don't give a shit about competing on any tour. They've made the 10s/100s of $Millions and are basically entertainers. They are no longer athletes who compete. Also Rahm made a comment that Cantlay and Homa gave him the cold shoulder at the Masters. What the fuck did you think was gonna happen, Jon? You sold out. Your peers think way less of you. Supposedly Phil did say much during the Champions dinner. I think they are in their final stage of Grief. They accept that they've ruined friendships and their legacy by selling out.

Rumors are the Sergio paid for the improvements on 10th hole tee box and 1st hole chipping green/tee box at Lions Muni in Austin. He's also a hugh proponent in Save Muny. Plus he's a HUGE UT fan because of his wife. I don't hate him so much. But his tweet from Aug 3 did not age well.

Astrology "Influencer". That's all you need know. BAT.SHIT.CRAZY. https://www.9news.com.au/world/eclipse-mom-who-threw-2-kids-onto-la-freeway-killing-her-infant-appeared-agitated-by-impending-eclipse/05d6526c-23c9-40e0-8cee-dfaa21f999b3 Los Angeles police believe Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, posted on X as an astrology influencer and recording artist with the moniker "Ayoka," in the days leading up to the violence, which began hours before the eclipse peaked in Southern California, Lieutenant Guy Golan said. While detectives have reviewed Johnson's posts, police are not considering the eclipse to be a precipitating or contributing factor to the slayings "because we just don't know why she did what she did," Golan told The Associated Press. The Los Angeles Times first reported on Johnson's social media activities in connection with the killings. "Get your protection on and your heart in the right place," she posted April 4 to more than 105,000 followers on X. "The world is very obviously changing right now and if you ever needed to pick a side, the time to do right in your life is now. Stay strong you got this." On April 5, she posted in all caps, "Wake up wake up the apocalypse is here. Everyone who has ears listen. Your time to choose what you believe is now." Her social media also included a mix of antisemitic screeds, conspiracy theories about vaccines and warnings about the end of the world alongside astrological predictions and positive affirmations. Also on April 5, she posted the word "LOVE" dozens of times. Her personal website offers a variety of services including "zodiac healing work," "alcohol balancing system" and an "aura cleanse".

Tiger prob killed some dude with that screaming hook out of the trees.

Lulz. Tiger continuing no pars life after the 2nd. Birdie, bogey, bogey, birdie, bogey, birdie. Jesus.

Tiger is allergic to pars. That scorecard...

I thought I heard someone's wife getting gangbanged in the background!

I love the Masters broadcasts. I am watching more actual golf shots (tracers and shaping) in the last 2 days than a whole years worth of golf TV broadcasts. With that said, holy shit everyone seems to be hitting fades the last 2 days. I can understand cuts into the fast as shit greens to help the ball hold but I'm predominantly seeing fades off the tees into fairways. Someone help me understand, is it because of the 20-30 mph wind or has a cut become the shape of choice on tour?

Thagala is putting like ass. 2nd 20' putt this round that he left 5' short.

Holy shit. Sahith having a meltdown.

Tiger is jealous of Jordan's coaster. Ima bogey after a birdie. Wee!

That putt was from a different zip code. I'm all Team Homa this weekend!

Spieth 2nd round coaster is well under way. Bogey 1st, Birdie 2nd.

Damn, par 3 4th hole is 226 yds, playing 265 yds adjusted for the wind. At the end of the day, I'd like to see that hole's scoring average.

Fundamentals is subjective. No one would EVER teach Scottie's footwork on his swing, but he's striping the shit out of the ball. I hope he never changes it because it's working well. If it works, it works. When Jordan was consistently winning, it wasn't because of his ball striking. He was making putts from all over the green. With that said, I'm not sure why he changed his swing to what it is now. Not sure what was wrong with the previous swing to make such a drastic change. I'd like to see his GIR average now vs when he was winning. I can't imagine it's that much different.

Disposable plastic goods is disposable plastic goods. I'm not the least bit mad that China, whatever the motives, is keeping downward pressure on those products. I'll pay extra money for quality on the more advanced, technical shit, but for disposable crap, I'm usually going cheapest.

If he's not going to make the cut, he's going to maximize his sponsor's air time.

It'll prob be taken down soon. Crazy how one bad chip can lead to a train wreck.

Is that a pic of his wife when she was 4?

I guess the moral of the story is, if you are going to fake rob someone in public, maybe expect to get real shot.

"Bike lanes house the homeless." That makes no got damned sense but hits all the feels and will get him re-elected for sure.

China deserves all the shit they get. But one thing is for sure, China mass manufacturing keeps prices low, except when asshole corporations inflate the fuck out of prices because some assholes need their $40M annual bonus. I've never purchased anything from Temu. I see their ads all over the net, especially on Instagram. I've perused the site every now and then. They offer fantastically cheap prices for shit that most people don't need but will buy just because it's so cheap. Hence this article... https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/temu-victims-parents-kids-bargain-shopping-ca25ef93?st=tmpfgz0vuohmywu&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink LaTonya Mullins-Mobley was surfing the web for Arizona Cardinals gear when she stumbled across an ad for Temu, the Chinese online-marketplace app known for ultra-discounts. She couldn’t believe the low prices. These days, Mullins-Mobley, who is 53 and works for a cellphone carrier, jokes that she’s “having an affair” with the app. She buys clothing, including T-shirts with Bible quotes for her daughter. She started a sunglasses company, picking up pairs from Temu for $3 and selling them for around $15. Her 19-year-old-daughter, Angeline Mobley, isn’t impressed. Angeline recently made a TikTok in which she begged viewers to take the Temu app away from her mother, actually, any mother, “expeditiously. ASAP. Stat.” She hit a chord. “My mom bought 57 of the same spatulas bc they were .03,” one commenter commiserated. The app is a particular hit with older shoppers—a development that is spawning a new genre of family friction. Gen Z’ers are roasting their moms, dads, grandmothers and uncles as “Temu victims,” saying they are buying cheap and sometimes useless stuff from the site. In March, Temu’s fastest-growing demographic was the 55 to 64 set. Sales attributed to that age group grew 271% since last March, according to Earnest Analytics. Temu is expected to spend nearly $3 billion on advertising this year, according to JPMorgan. As in most bargain shopping, Temu regulars say part of the appeal is stumbling across items they—or anyone—could probably do just fine without. “You’ve lived your life without that pasta spoon rest, but then you see it and you’re like, ‘Wow, that’s genius and it’s only 98 cents, and it’s cute,’ so you need it,” says Chaunda Thompson, a 44-year-old marine shipyard painter in Newport News, Va.

Wife: What do you need from Costco? Me: $10,000 in gold and silver, please. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/costco-gold-bar-sales-inflation-silver-coins-2024/ The warehouse club has seen a spike in sales ever since it began selling 1-ounce bars of 24-karat gold last September. With the gold bullion selling out faster than the store could replenish its stock, the discount giant in January added silver coins to its offerings of precious metals. According to a recent estimate from Wells Fargo, the members-only retailer now sells $100 million to $200 million worth of gold and silver a month. The burgeoning business comes as the price of gold is reaching new heights. Sales have climbed partly because of "Costco's aggressive pricing and high level of customer trust," Edward Kelly, a Wells Fargo equity analyst, said in a research note. "The accelerating frequency of Reddit posts, quick online sell-outs of product, and Costco's robust monthly eCommerce sales suggests a sharp uptick in momentum since the launch."

YOLO! Yes, you do only live once. https://abcnews.go.com/US/21-year-skier-dies-high-risk-stunt-jump/story?id=109123538 21-year-old skier dies in 'high-risk' stunt trying to jump over US highway Investigators say he 'unfortunately lacked the necessary speed and distance.' A 21-year-old man has died while attempting to perform a “high-risk skiing stunt” trying to jump the width of a U.S. highway in Colorado, authorities say. The incident occurred on Tuesday at approximately 3 p.m. when the Grand County Communications Center in Colorado received a 911 call regarding a skiing accident on Highway 40, just west of Berthoud Pass Summit about reports of a 21-year-old male skier who was found “unconscious and not breathing,” according to a statement from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office released on Wednesday. “The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was attempting to perform a high-risk skiing stunt by trying to clear the width of Highway 40 and unfortunately lacked the necessary speed and distance and subsequently landed on the highway pavement,” authorities said. “The victim had been wearing a helmet and other protective gear.”
