I've been a fan of sardines since I was a kid eating them with my dad. I still eat them from time to time, but might check out a sardine fast.

One technique I use now to help prevent injury is to use the seat heaters to/from lower body workouts, it seems to do a good job of loosening it up.

Already using them for my lower back. :lol:

Anyone here have experience with a grade 2 hamstring injury? Felt it pop when going up for a hit while playing beach volleyball. Injury was April 6th, so I'm a week out now. Last week was miserable. By Friday, I was finally able to somewhat walk. Slowly getting to the point where I can do most normal every day tasks (couldn't dream of putting shoes on last week). Bruising has really showed up over the last 48 hours. It's pretty gnarly looking.

Trying to determine my next steps to get back to being active and reduce my chances for reinjury. 49 years old, 5'11" and 170 pounds. I'm an active person, but not really a gym person. I like to be active outside, whether it's running or biking or volleyball or pickleball or golf. Mostly a runner, since I enjoy it and is what I like to do, and that's what I really want to get back to, along with beach volleyball, since my SO and I really enjoy doing that together.

Anyone with any experiences in recovery? Would love to hear about it. I'm all ears.

I've used Pat's twice for garage door spring replacement. They took good care of me both times.

That's absurd. I pay $13/bale at my hardware store, which after tax would come out to about $430 for 30 bales. It would take me some time to spread by myself, but not $1,200 of my time.

Pretty suspect as those Sims at Pelican are pretty underutilized it seems.. I legit never see anyone using them..

---

I was gonna say the same thing. I've never seen one in use. But then, why would I play on a sim if I could play the course? The sim seems great for rainy days or winter.

Why didnt they work? Genuinely curious

Very difficult to accept shots. They do it in Alaska because of the moose and bears tearing up real greens. Even with very little play, they said they have to replace the turf pretty frequently.

I've often wondered how that would play. Could you find turf that reacted like a green with a 7i in your hand

---

I played a course in Alaska with turf greens. It was interesting. Turf greens won't work. But hey, I can say that I played golf in Alaska.

let me know where those people are. ill hire 3 now and my other super buddies will hire 3 each right now too. you are clueless man. no one wants to work. i know for a fact SM has one of the smaller crews of golf courses around BR.

so, to have everything done by 9am minimum:
2 guys on greens
2 guys on tees
2 guys on fairways
2 guys in bunkers
1 guy coolers and trash
1 guy changing holes

you just need to stop. you're the reason supers hate certain know it all golfers

This should be good. Add 9 more holes to the mix and let him know how many people he needs to get it all done, then you can compare notes.

The easiest way would be to cut out alcohol completely, but alas, no.

---

Never thought I could do it either. But here I am. 159 days today. In February 2025, I was 229 pounds (5'11" for those asking). This morning, the scale read 174.

There are no secrets, just habits. You can't out exercise a bad diet. Eat real foods and cut back on the beers. I'm not going to tell you to drink whiskey instead of beer, because that was not sustainable for an alcoholic like me. In fact, it was worse for my overall health.

Eat less, move more works. Be active. Park in the back of the parking lot. Take the stairs. Go for more walks. Watch your portions. Eat lean meats, seafood, fruits and veggies. If you have to get your food out of a box (i.e. Red Baron pizza), it's not going to help your weight loss.

Cutting out the alcohol didn't immediately cause the pounds to drop off. But it certainly has helped me create a lifestyle that supports losing weight and being healthy. I have much more energy now than I used to, and that allows me to be more active, which in turn helps me lose the weight. I actually haven't been able to exercise like I want to over the last 4-5 months due to some nagging injuries. Yet, here I am at 49 years old approaching my 35 year old self's marathon runnner weight.

I get it, you may not be mentally ready to kick the beer habit. It held me back for years. I wanted to enjoy my double IPAs. They're delicious. But only after I gave it all up was I able to see it for what it is: poison that's slowly killing me. I have zero regrets giving up alcohol, and almost 6 months into this journey, I love my life now.

When you're ready to do it, reach out and talk to people. There are more of us than you realize.
