I have no idea about this berber thing. It must be something from a secret vault.

 

I don’t like not knowing these kinds of things, but I’m used it to now.

 

I’m curating a pizza. Yum.

 

And contemplating hitting a 1.68” diameter ball.

 

Fun Tuesday Factoid: the average diameter of golf balls is larger than the 1.68” minimum. Aerodynamics are improved with a slightly larger ball with modern dimple patterns.

I take turmeric for inflammation but there are other things that work too.

 

BTW, cinnamon is really good for regulating blood sugar. I'm not diabetic but I eat like

I am because I have 2 sisters who have had type 2.

Nice tight lie on Berber is nothing to fear. It's the shag carpet that can be a problem.

And Judge, you forgot to list the tendonitis.

Good catch!
 

Ya know Doc, don’t believe that one has hit this golfer so far.  Knock on wood.  Got a lower back that gets tender sometimes.  A right knee might go bionic eventually .  A rotator cuff has been very gradually reminding me of its presence.  
 

Dang.  Come to think of it I may need some green lip omega oil pills for this aging tin man.  

How’s your frame holding up?  Everything is aok I hope.

I just stepped outside for a look and took a pic. It's still daylight at 8:30 at night in January.

It’s a style of carpeting.  Berber.  lol.  Berber phobia is the fear…. Never mind.  
 

Would that be a wet or dry martini?   Btw - what would be the plural for martini?  
 

inquiring minds want to know.

Actually, the carpet we're having ripped up and replaced with wood flooring is...........berber!

Violent diarrhea is now called colon cleansing.

Same. Episodic low back pain but only once in awhile.  R shoulder pain if I put a jacket on the wrong way. Rotator cuff. Underhand golf motion is still ok. Had a knee scoped a few years ago. No bionics yet. I like to eat too much. Still  get the ball out there enough to get it past some of the guys 10 yrs. younger. They say "not bad for an old fat guy" But yes I've turned into one of those guys that talks about how good I used to be.

Citing Packer v. Wonder Mats, ltd.  2006.   
 

The court ruled in favor of Elmer F. Packer after suffering third degree burns on his scalp.  His assault was deemed to be the responsibility of any golf mat maker that is not marked with cautions about said mat potentially facing east at 2:00.

Overturned on appeal. Appeal court ruled that 2:00 was arbitrary and depending on the time zone. Subsequent legislation voided all liability after extensive lobbying by the beber mat consortium.

She suffering from scurvy?  
 

“Think outside the box”.  
I totally don’t get it.  What box?

That was great! At this point, Jerry has hit his popcorn fart to the right and he moves to the next step. Hit, step back and enjoy the handiwork of the flip and stab. Classic!

LOL that is what I refer to my persimmon 195 yard drives as popcorn fart drives. We played in a 9& Dine last summer with my course owners 2 sons who are long knockers. I decided to play persimmon and blades. That day which was unusual for them they could not spell fairway much less find one. LOL they had to play my popcorn fart drives the whole round. Of course where I was hitting my drives in the middle they could get on the greens with no more than a 7 or 8 iron and they hit low hybrids to the 2 par 5s. We did win it and their Dad wondered how when they told him. The oldest told him I was in the middle all round with my wood popcorn fart drives. Everyone got a laugh. I do not hit persimmon far anymore but I am fairly straight with it. Much straighter than I am with a modern driver

And then there’s the rally cry from those who hate mats…

 

* Ruined my game

* Teaches you to hit it fat

* Teaches you to hit it thin

* The rubber tee messes up ball flights

* The fibers trap tuberculosis 

* I have Berberphobia 

Seriously I do not hit off of mats for several reasons. First off I really hit down on the ball and it does make my wrists hurt. Now days I do not due to the fact it will get my back started. Second I have seen too many cubs wrecked especially graphite shafts from hitting off of mats.

Now when I do my mat and net work here at the house I use some of my older steel shafted wedges and clip the ball off the mat. Most of my mat work is to keep my body loose and practice a clip shot. If I do get serious I will back up and hit off my grass. But no as far as going to a range and hitting a bucket of balls off a mat that is out for me

My wife works in turmeric as part of our regular cooking diet. She also regulates cinnamon in to. We do have cinnamon toast a couple days a week. We also do not do much sugar per say. We sweeten our coffee with local honey which keeps colds and allergies at bay.

That is like the county I live in. It is spelled Horry but pronounced "oree". You can spot a recent transplant or tourist because they pronounce it exactly like it is spelled. Some transplants prounoce it like it is spelled to piss off us Southerners and natives of the area

I like a clever colloquial expression, but the worn-out cliché makes me nuts.
 

Don’t use 10 words when 2 will do.

 

If you would not speak that way, don’t write it in an email.

 

Don’t make a noun into a verb, it is not clever or smart. 
 

“At the end of the day.” Filler. No words are better than these words. 
 

“In this day and age.” What you mean is “now.” Just say “now.”

 

“Utilize.” This doesn’t mean what you think it means. Unless you mean using something for a task other than its intended purpose, just say “use.”

 

I could go on and on about being granular, paradigms, and value, but I won’t. I am glad to have the reputation of being direct and plain-spoken, because I do my best not to get sucked into all of that jargon.

All destruction is complete. Either it was or wasn’t.

 

If you like watching people squirm, ask them to define “irony” without using an example.

 

I’ve heard Brits say Webster was right. You don’t need a “u” after every “o.”

 

Two spaces after a period is clinging to the days of typewriters.

 

An ellipses is space dot, space dot, space dot.

 

Who decided that lose is now loose?

 

E.g. is “for example.” I.e. is “in other words.”

 

Use periods often to write gooder.
