jerryskids 6,790 Posted January 28 Also, on a random golf note: I think I mentioned here that I got a 4-pack of golf lessons for my son and me for Christmas. We had the first lesson last week. I've never had a lesson, because I always think I'm the smartest person in the room. After watching one, maybe two of my swings with a wedge, the instructor pointed out that I was doing a low backswing, inside-out type of swing which was restricting my (already bad) flexibility and, contrary to what you (and by you, I mean "I") would think, causing me to push irons to the right, unless I Mr. Snappy'd them to the left. He had me work on a 1/2 to 2/3 speed swing with an exaggerated straight back takeaway. Also had me stand a little farther away from the ball. We moved to a 7 iron, and holy shiot, I was hitting the ball close to 150 yards with what felt like barely a swing. Unfortunately, I've been laid up with a fever the past few days, but I have managed to work in some time in the back yard just building the muscle memory for the swing. I'm hoping to get to the range at least once before the next lesson this Saturday (we plan to get there early and hit some balls before the official lesson). Anyway, other than the fever thing, I'm super stoked for this. We're working on long clubs this weekend, then chipping (my worst) as part of the next one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would consider this, although I'm cautiously optimistic about Lager's parlay. My brother is in Ft. Lauderdale doing construction at the airport, so I could go see him as part of this trip.

I wanted to bet $10, but DK said my max bet is $0.69 Patrick Cantlay to win Keegan Bradley top 5 Jason Day top 10 Taylor Pendrith top 10 Denny McCarthy top 10 Beau Hossler top 20 Gary Woodland top 20 $0.69 to win $246,953.07 Back the winner out.

BiffTannen 950 Posted January 28 I tried to place a larger wager on SBAG, but they won't allow me to parlay those selections. I need to see what I have available in terms of offshore books. I was under the impression as long as I didn't cash out with DK, FD, or ESPN I wouldn't need to worry about taxes, but all three of those fockers hit me with 1099s this year.

I placed that bet too and left Cantlay out all together. If there is one guy on tour I'd like to hit in the face with a sand wedge, it is Cantlay. I almost feel dirty rooting for him this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do a pool with co workers every week and when i get him he sucks balls. I expect that to continue here this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
