It's because of turf. The turf is 30 degrees hotter than anything you practiced on in the 70s/80s.


100% this. Until you walk onto a turf with rubber infill field in the middle of the summer with sunlight on the turf, you can’t understand how much hotter the fields are.

Seems like there should be some stuff done to the root cause of all of these. Our food and diets that contribute to this. Fast food, sugary drinks, high sucrose syrup all should be addressed as well and cost burden shifter to those companies.

How dumb do you have to be to be boxing as an F1 driver? Your hands are your money makers, similar to surgeons or dentists. Doubt many of them box with frequency.

Don’t think an eagle can be counted on the old LSU course.


All holes on the old front nine were legit par 4s. Nothing like some of the short holes at City Park.
Does he still have a trial coming? Seems like he should be in jail for significantly longer than 8 games.
I wonder what percent are of those digital tips actually make it back to the workers vs. an actual tip jar that gets split at the end of the shift.

He’s been gone for quite a while. He was there to get some on screen time commenting on games to help him move onto real commentary jobs.
I like him on PMT and Macrodosing. I’d be interested in hearing him not in character on a show.

Flew from DFW to LAX recently. Had Google Maps open the whole time following along. It’s amazing how dry, desolate and isolated everything looks. I can’t believe people live there.

re: Best riding mower for hill

Posted by MikeD on 8/7/26 at 9:33 pm to
I’m on a steep hill in St George. Highland Rd terrace terrain that is particularly steep. I have a Bobcat ZTR that is commercial grade. It does great. Neighbors that have lawn services all have ZTRs that work well.

When we first moved in, we had an old underpowered Craftsman tractor, going up the hill one time the wheels were spinning, I tried to lean back a to help and the whole thing flipped over and cartwheeled down the hill. I was able to get off to the side but it was crazy scary.
