Low HDL itself is not causative of heart disease, and high HDL is not protective. Elevating HDL by itself with niacin, ctep inhibitors have not been effective at reducing heart disease in clinical trials, ctep inhibitors actually caused harm.

It is correlated with it but correlation does not equal causation. This is primarily mediated through insulin resistance and subsequently elevated triglycerides. High triglycerides directly lower HDL as HdL is consumed transporting them in the blood. Do not trust the labs that say <150 trigs are normal. Normal is actually less than 80, maybe 100 at most.

What are your triglycerides? Have you checked a fasting insulin preferably or at least an a1c?

It’s a great ball as long if you prefer a high spin ball. It spun 3-400 rpm more off the driver for me compared to pro v1x but great everywhere else. Despite the high spin, it’s plenty long.

2 tickets for sale for tonight’s LSU Clemson game

Sec 418

Will electronically transfer the tickets

$160 each, want to sell as a pair. Would be willing to split if I have a buyer for both.

They show the comparison on the Mizuno website. Fractionally shorter in 7-PW, essentially equal in longer irons.

Doesn’t seem like a true Srixon 7 series competitor, which should have been the target given the success of Srixon IMO. Misses less than 10mm heel or toe on the Mizuno are losing 10-15 yards on these reviews. On my Zx7 Mkii a 10mm heel or 7mm toe strike feels flushed and goes the same distance +\- a couple yards as out the middle.

The shape is still awesome and better than Srixon so will give it a demo

Wedges are so personal and low-tech that I don’t believe there is a “best” wedge. They were looking at averages, I wonder how many of the testers voted Costco their #1. I bet there was a lot of variability for each testers #1 wedge

Plus the 52-56-60 set is the only option, which won’t fit most modern iron gaps unless you use 5 wedges.

I believe anyone’s game would benefit significantly from having a driver that suits them. I think if you went somewhere with a monitor and you found the Ping G440 driver model and stock shaft that you hit the most consistently (not the one you hit the furthest on 1 shot), it would be worth the $450 they are going for now.

If you slice it like most do starting out, try them on the highest loft settings (a 10.5* at 12*), which will promote a draw and generally a straighter ball flight due to higher spin. As you get better and start hitting it straighter and further, a lower loft is usually better. You can then just adjust the driver down and it can grow with you.

I have an acquaintance who will retire from the military at 45 getting something like 7k a month due to “disabilities” like PTSD and migraines that are subjective and either don’t exist or are greatly exaggerated m. He is prescribed a pile of medicine that he never takes. No objective physical disability. He’s looking forward to moving to his native Ecuador and starting an ecotourism resort and farm with the money.

Our tax dollars at work.

I agree with the poster above that it continues because it’s a third rail that no politician will touch

It’s funny how the fan opinion of those two has completely flipped. Rory went from being a fan favorite to hated. Bryson went from being hated to a fan favorite.

It’s not a zero sum game. One can believe that Rory should have STFU and that Bryson broke a rule and handled it like a child

He was completely out of the tournament by the 6th hole on Thursday. Niemann is the new Kuchar with the Sunday 66s when out of the tournament.

I like Reed at 50/1. Kinda Brian Harmon-esk. Course is hard so distance advantages are minimized.

The Diamond is a great ball, the highest spin ball made I believe, high launch, durable. Also with upper tier ball speeds to keep distance up. Pretty comparable to ProV1x but slightly softer feeling with a couple hundred more rpms spin.
