I walked yesterday in 95 degree heat. It was difficult, even with a push cart. Very humid, no wind, blasting sun. I drank a lot of water, as much as I could stand, but it was still pretty tough going. I was pretty much done for by the middle of the back nine. But it's good exercise.

My worst was walking a muni in Baltimore in 103 heat... wearing jeans. I'm not sure what the Hell I was thinking, but I was young and stubborn and completed the round. I then went home and drank about 3 gallons of water... heh. -- Antonio Veranos What color does a smurf go when you choke it?

Mike, I have a great idea. Let's do a "GolfSwing FAQ file". That should restore a sense of 'the old RSG' I would think :-) dave

You're not going to find it here. Ok, so I went over to the golf channel website and clicked on the discussions. I see someone has a discussion labeled "Tom Watson - Bad Sportsmanship" I click on this thread and this bufoon is making the point that Tom threw his golf ball in the water on 18 and that is bad sportsmanship. He equates this to Tiger throwing golf clubs. Now I ask, what is the point of going to moderated boards when they do not filter out idiots? Any kind of moronic post is ok as long as it is golf related? No thanks.
