At 12, he's not the biggest kid. But I don't think he has much speed left that he's not tapping into.

The worst thing about this miserable garbage Michigan team is that it makes it impossible to properly enjoy Ohio State's suffering.

6 points is almost certainly too deep a hole for Michigan to dig out of.

Continuing my current commitment to strike, regardless of swing aesthetics.

Just want to put this out there: if/when Mark Broadie either regains access to his Twitter account or starts a new one, could someone let me know? Mark tweeting about strokes gained is better than Mark tweeting about crypto scams.

How far away is 5 shots to the hole? Obviously, it depends on your skill level—and the difference is stark. In this episode, Lou quizzes Mark and Greg about the length of a "perfect" par 5 for a scratch, 10, and 20 index golfer. A key issue: quality of strike. But also: maybe think about playing a shorter set of tees? Episode links and the key tip below:

A nice milestone: my *calculated* combined squat/bench/deadlift has just passed 950lbs. My hunch: the calculated numbers are reasonable for bench and squat. I'm not convinced I could break the ground with a 410 deadlift—yet.

Can't wait for Ryan to post, "This is Day One of me trying to make a hole-in-one over my giant LIV Golf logo I have in my yard."
I'm asking nicely. Please no one else bid on this when it comes up for auction. Thank you.

Was giving serious consideration to a manual curved treadmill, but alas! my basement ceiling is too low, and overall fitness is likely to suffer from repeatedly bashing my head into the rafters.

We have a hole at our course that just added two symmetrically planted saplings down each side of the fairway. I've debated the ethics of killing them.
Replying to @_consistentgolf
Properly placed trees that fit with the land and routing of the course are fine. Adding trees in a misguided attempt to either beautify or make the course more difficult is a problem.

Hoping that somewhere in the world, there are children who are wearing Legion XIII polos with their Tampa Bay World Series champions hats.
What’s old is new for Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton this week in Abu Dhabi. Rahm is wearing a Callaway hat with an Openbank sponsor on his otherwise unbranded shirt. Hatton is wearing a PING hat and Adidas shirt. No more Legion XIII gear for either.

Today's episode: Mark and Lou discuss the big pro golf stories. • Is Tiger preparing another comeback—and if so, for what events? • With Sergio returning to the DP World Tour, can he make another Ryder Cup team? • And when will LIV finally go away?

Had a former student of mine text me this morning that he benched 1x235. So I had to try to top him (I love fractional plates); 1x237.5lb. This honestly went up a lot smoother than I expected.

In today's episode, Lou not only talks about stacking newspaper scraps, but he (GASP!) *estimates* a number. Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7s4…

My kids have been invited to a Halloween party tonight. I think everyone is supposed to dress up. I'm going as "Jared Goff arriving for the game."
