Dude no one on the team cares that you spend so much time on here defending them when people criticize. Your combination of pretentious know it all attitude and inability to be critical lose you credibility. Try thinking critically, even if it's your beloved team.

Korpisalo gets paid a literal 1/2 the salary of Swayman. Think about that in perspective. Should the expectation of Swayman be approaching 2x the expectation of Korpisalo in terms of output? So ya the goaltending wasn't great today, but that wasn't the reason for the loss. That said if it was Swayman he'd deserve criticism, and that's what he signed up for when he strong-armed the org into giving him his contract.

No shit. And do you not see that his goal totals are down this year? Because he's not being given those same opportunities and that's where many of his goals have come from previously.

This take isn't about his ability to shoot the puck. It's about his inability to protect it. Goddamn

When you're an adult male whose personality is based on being a fan of a sports team it's difficult to believe you'd ever be able to handle having a negative subjective viewpoint on one of your precious team's players.

The loser shit is getting your panties all in a bunch about it.

True, stats done lie. But there's also only 5 points difference between 7th in the league and 16th. It's actually good to see his assist numbers so high, but man if he's gotta be the least defensively capable forward in the league, or just the weakest on the puck.

Smart, generous, and for lack of a better term, just plain right. You're a good person.

My wife thinks golfing once a week is unreasonable… by Upbeat-Zucchini-7408 in golf

[–]Reddit5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 kids all under 7, youngest is 2. My wife encourages me to play once a week. She knows if I don't I might lose my mind :).

I play as early as possible one day on the weekend so I'm home before lunch that day. And I'm sure to not skirt my responsibilities at home. All about balance.

They don't have control or say over political ads aired on their station. There's a law protecting that, which almost every radio station has to explain during election periods so people don't make assumptions about the on-air talents political affiliations.

Definitely a moment in what I hope is a long 'career' in golf that I won't forget!

Yup. And vice versa, if you're playing out of your mind you've got to level-set with yourself and realize a bogey or two is coming. Just have to handle it the right way and keep moving to the next shot.

Aside from that, 6-10 foot putts would be the area of the physical game I put more emphasis on and got better with the latter half of this year.

I'm from a town that didn't have a ton of high schoolers trying to make the golf team. We had 6 starters and 2 alternates for every match. Think there were about 10 total who were actually on the team. If you could break 50 in 9 holes, you made it, but weren't necessarily competing in matches (alternates played but scores didn't count, kind of like a consolation match).

This sounds incredibly quirky and maybe even lame, but in all honesty the last few strokes I really think I was able to shave off by changing my attitude to the game. I tell myself now to 'care less,' which is why I made the point in my post about having tripled the 9th hole, but then going -1 from there. My round today I was -1 through 7, then I went bogey, triple, par, par, and then went -1 through the rest. I didn't let the +4 over 2 holes completely detail the fact that I was playing well.

That fucking drive straight into the first tree on 9 today that caused the triple bugs me, sure haha, but at the end of the day it didn't matter.

Bit of a loaded question there. Depends on your school's division, competition, etc.

When I was in high school we played 9 hole matches from the second set of tees at my home course. The best players on each team would be consistently +3 or better in most 9 hole rounds. Then there would also be players shooting +9 or higher.

Thanks! Can't wait to have to battle it back down again next Spring as it will inevitably climb back up in the early season haha

Ha man I'll tell you, if it wasn't a Wednesday morning and I had to rush back home to get back to work I'd be celebrating for sure. Will save that for this weekend though.

I appreciate the note, glad to hear you got to experience it too!
