I'm good with "Juan Ward" replacing Kesling at anytime. Those calls make the hairs on my neck stand up. That passion and excitement is a gift that Bob just ain't got. It's time for the broadcast booth to match the action that's happening on the field.


If Carlos can throw in some English every once in a while, I believe I could keep up with what's happening in the game. I think we've got something special with him

And he has Fuad with him. They're great.

@peaygolf I am learning to golf here and looking for a good entry level used putter i can get for under $50. I like the looks of the 2 ball putters, but have no clue. I currently have an old style Dunlop 120. Would appreciate thoughts.

I'm not @peaygolf, and it's slightly more than $50, but this putter is great.

Amazon.com

Though someone really needs to see your putter stroke to make a good recommendation. Some folks do better with a center balanced putter like the above (I do). Others not so much. Really, you just need to go to a golf shop and putt with several types. See what works best for you.

I still use a 1996 Kirk Currie putter, with a grip I’ve had on it for 20 odd years,

With that being said, I’m tinkering with mallets. I think it’s like 8/10 of the top players in the world use a mallet. Easier to aim and less “twisting” on off center hits (MOI- moment of inertia)

You can get really good pre-owned Odyssey 2-Ball, Odyssey White Hot Rossie, putters for around $50-$60.

There are two good putters that not many are familiar with that you can probably find cheap.
Never Compromise and Guerrin-Rife.

Edit-
Based on your advice @peaygolf I reached out to a guy with a bunch of rife 2 bar hybrids. Those look and sound like something worth trying. As long as his price is ok.

The Never Compromises looked nice, but would have to go ebay and then the shipping bloats price.

I went mallet around 20 years ago. I play the Taylormade Spider Red double bend with toe hang. Played the Odyssey WH Rossie for a dozen years and loved it until it starting treating me bad. 😀 Got a divorce and married the Spider. Still in love 7-8 years later.

I’m one of the worst people to listen to about diet habits. What works for one may not work for others. Should have started with that first in my first post, huh. I’ve worked in the food industry a long time and taught myself a lot. I just know that sometimes our diet habits are also influenced by different things. My post was just basic stuff, I’m sorry if I over stepped my bounds.

No, your good. Didn't offend me at all

My mom passed away tonight. She finally submitted to dementia. I’m almost 48 years old and somehow I just feel like a sad kid inside.

Sorry for your loss. May the Lord bring you and your family peace. Understand all too well. My wonderful mother-in-law went through a 10 year battle with that horrid disease. Still miss her everyday over a dozen years later.

You were at my neighbors house. I was trying to throw Tod and Kim off my scent and put my name on several of my neighbors mailboxes. Bastards don't want to give me yard of the month, then see how you like having a couple degenerates living in your bushes for a while.

When we moved to Knoxville for my wife’s residency training, we rented out our house in Grapevine. When we moved back, the renters had let the yard go to hell. In retrospect, we should have rolled lawn care into the rent price (1st and last time that I ever want rental property).
Took us about a year to get the lawn and flower gardens looking decent again. Once it looked nice again, we came home to a “yard of the month” sign sticking up in our yard.
Our HOA didn’t have a yard of the month contest, but our yard looked so bad that they thought we deserved the acknowledgment when we fixed it. 😂
Our neighbors called our house the rent house…didn’t know, but ours was the only one that was leased in the neighborhood.

Agreed...that has been my experience as well. I tell people to try Keto and see how it works for them, if you are doing it right and are not losing weight...try something else, because your chemistry is just not made for it.

But I know a lot of folks that "say" they tried Keto and did it right, and after talking to them you find out they were eating a lot of that "Keto freindly" garbage on store shelves.

I try to cut carbs to the bone...and I don't eat any of that "Keto friendly" crap.

Agree. Do it right or try something else. I did it right and it worked like a charm. During the holidays I eased up and it cost me. Back on it again now.

I lost 75lbs about 25 years ago. I rarely do strict keto since then, but have greatly reduced carbs overall. When strict, I can't eat enough to gain, and always lose. The "calories in must be less than calories burnt" mentality is completely contrary to my experience.

I have known others who were not as successful on keto, but I'm sure it comes down to hormones. For those (like me) who are insulin dominant, keto just works. For those who aren't, it isn't nearly as helpful.

(The following is a TLDR agreement to the above. :) BLUF: You are correct. meta-studies reinforce your experiences across ages, genders, and body types.

A couple of factors come into play.

When you cut out carbs, your calories have to come from either protein, fats, or a combination of the two. Both protein and fat take longer and more work to digest than carbs, so they are both more satiating than carbs. You feel fuller quicker and longer eating fats and proteins than eating carbs. What that means is that you may feel like you're eating more at your meals, but you are probably eating less snacks through the day. I've seen a lot of people on low/no carb that think they are eating more calories, but over the day/week, they are not. And as stated earlier, some of those eaten fat/protein calories are not burned. They are passed by the body in some way. (Example, with a lack of carbs in the bloodstream for energy, the body converts fat into ketones, and burns them for immediate fuel. That's why the low carb works--and cleans up the bloodwork heart-health numbers, by the way. Whereas unused carbs in the bloodstream get stored as fat, unused ketones exit through the ol' pee-stream. So, literally, the adage that you have to burn more calories than you eat is one of those generally-true-but-not-exactly statements.)

**************************
Especially if you want to work out and diet to reshape yourselves, find an old copy of "The TNT Diet" by Men's Health. Men's Health is NOT a good place to blindly follow, as they publish all kinds of plans from all kinds of folks, with all kinds of competing paradigms. But this one is solid. The scientific meta-studies are all in there, along with a detailed plan. It's why, what and how. If you can't find that, look for an open-source electronic copy of either "The Metabolic Diet" https://metabolicdiet.com/diets/the-metabolic-diet or its alternate name "The Anabolic Diet", which is the same principles, but came earlier with fewer meta-studies to prove the concepts. Note that both plans are much more effective with resistance training, and specifically recommend full body workouts. The reasons are in the books. Basically, full body resistance training works all the big muscles, burns more energy, and creates a heavier recovery load post-workout, which effectively raises the metabolism for a couple of days as the body puts energy into repairing those big muscle groups.

Also, after a month or so of no-carb to start, depending on your goals and personal needs, they move you to a carb cycling mode where you go no-carb for 5-6 days, and eat carbs 1-2 days a week. This flips some muscle-gain hormonal switches in the body that helps with muscle gain, whereas strict no-carb all the time decreases muscle-gaining hormonal response in the body. An added benefit is that these plans don't deprive you of carbs. They just get you to postpone them. It's been my experience that it makes no-carb life easier. I can tell myself that I'm not depriving myself, just postponing. Also, carbo-HYDRATES hydrate. Another benefit of carb cycling is, when you spend a day carbing up while gaining muscle, the carbo-hydrating swells the muscles and you look better for a couple of days. lol
*************************

Also, not sure I've seen it mentioned. If you are adding resistance training to diet (and you should), don't judge progress by weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. So as you lose fat and gain muscle, you may actually even GAIN weight while losing waistline. Change your eating habits. Give yourself some strain and sweat several times a week. Get plenty of sleep. Hydrate. Even if you don't go low/no carb, cut out stupid-calories like sodas, refined carbs, sugars... (Look into Glycemic Index/Glycemic Load diets if you don't think you can do no-carb. Slow-carb (low-GI) is also very good and super-healthy.)
