Hookset

@MyGolfSpy May have ordered a few last week for my better half, her Father, and myself! The Tour Soft going for $25 a dozen was a good deal, and I’ve been wanting to try the Tour X-LS! Been playing the Tour X for 2 years or so. I’m pretty sure her Dad will be converted to a Tour-S fan.

QUICK POLL: Which one are you choosing? Bonus points if you say why 😉

@nmlinguaphile We enjoyed it

Has anybody seen “Young Washington”? Is it any good?

@LoveRetroBTW I’ve been in a nostalgic mood and have been thinking of this game show for weeks and couldn’t remember the name of it. Core memory unlocked!

As a kid, I dreamed of making the Video Power Prize Round and racing through that Velcro mall grabbing games. Who else wanted a shot?

@exQUIZitely Wow! I remember this game, but never realized he had the same moves as Zangief from Street Fighter. Pretty Cool!

Final Fight (1989 by Capcom) was set in Metro City, where players control one of three heroes - Mike Haggar, Cody Travers, or Guy - to rescue Haggar's kidnapped daughter Jessica from the Mad Gear Gang. You can punch, kick, and - most fun of all - pick up and use weapons and objects to fight endless waves of thugs. What made it special were the massive, highly detailed character sprites, fluid animation (including grabs, throws, and specials), and interactive environments (barrels, oil drums, and other destructible or throwable items). For 1989, this was almost unheard of and challenged Street Fighter and Double Dragon (I and II) for best beat 'em up. Funny little glitch in the Matrix: Haggar's one (!?) suspender is over his right shoulder when facing right and over his left shoulder when facing left. Magic!

@MK_habit_addict Champion Edition was my absolute jam!

Street Fighter 2 changed everything!…

The richest man in America signed a document that could have gotten him hanged, and when someone sneered that he was safe because no one would know which Charles Carroll to come for, he picked up the pen and told the British exactly where to find him. His name was Charles Carroll, and the colonies were crawling with men who shared it. His own father was Charles Carroll of Annapolis. So when the Declaration of Independence came to him for signing in 1776, a delegate made a cruel little joke. He said Carroll risked nothing by signing. There were so many Charles Carrolls that the King's men would never know which one to hang. Carroll didn't argue. He leaned over the page and added three words to his signature: "of Carrollton." The name of his estate. His address. He was the only signer in the entire room who wrote down where he lived, and he did it on purpose, so that if the British wanted to come hang the traitor, they would know exactly which door to knock on. That is who Charles Carroll of Carrollton was. Here is what makes the moment even sharper. He was not a man with little to lose. He was the single wealthiest man in the thirteen colonies and the largest private landowner among them. While George Washington and John Hancock get talked about as rich men, it was Carroll who topped them all. When he signed, he was wagering the biggest personal fortune in America against a noose. And he was the last man anyone would have expected to be there at all. Carroll was Catholic. In colonial Maryland, a colony founded as a Catholic refuge that had since turned on its own, Catholics could not vote. They could not hold public office. They could not worship in public. The most educated, wealthiest man in America was, in the eyes of the law, a second-class subject barred from the very government he was helping to create. He had spent seventeen years being educated by Jesuits in France and spoke five languages fluently, and back home he still could not legally cast a ballot. So he became the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, putting his name on a revolution that he hoped would build a country with room for men like him. That was its own enormous bet, made by a man the existing system had already shut out. Then he simply outlived everyone. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same astonishing day, July 4, 1826, exactly fifty years after the Declaration. When they were gone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton was the last living signer left on earth. For six more years he was the final human link to that room in Philadelphia, the last hand that had signed, a living relic of the founding that ordinary Americans traveled to see and shake. He finally died in November 1832 at the age of ninety-five, fifty-six years after he wrote his address on a treason document and dared the empire to come find him. The richest man in America. The only Catholic. The last one standing. He had more to lose than any of them, every legal reason to stay quiet, and he signed his full address anyway. We remember the names we were handed in school. We forget the man who made sure his couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's. Which Founding Father do you think history shortchanged the most?

@EthanBenard Awesome! Congrats brotha and keep up the work.

It’s been a MONTH! It’s time to weigh in 😁💪🏻 #weightlossjourney

@PGATUOR Shot a 77 two years ago. I’ve been struggling this summer though.

What’s your lowest golf round ever?

@StephenKing So, how much raping do you find acceptable? It seems you have a definitive line of acceptability.

Tell you what--if you knew the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty. Jesus said, "Let him without sin cast the first stone."

@Burritoexp Giving up a goal due to a mistake is hard enough, let alone two.

Fuck team. My theory was absolute trash. I’m sorry😢

If USA beats Belgium today then I’ll give everyone who RETWEETS & LIKES this tweet $100! (must be following) 🇺🇸⚽️

@krassenstein @JackMac FIFA came out and said that their decision had nothing to do with Trump and that they were already in the process of reviewing it. The only asterisk would’ve been if he didn’t play.

@JackMac I want the U.S. to win. I just don’t want them to win with an asterisk. The problem isn’t Balogun. The problem is Trump turning a referee controversy into an international legitimacy crisis.

"Go BELGIUM and the rule of law!"

@RepJeffries We all know that this was fake and staged, so save us your fake outrage.

White Supremacists shamefully marched through our nation’s capital on July 4th. These extremists think they can behave with impunity. We will eradicate this cancer in America and preserve our multiracial democracy.

@krassenstein If you were so keen about the “rule of law,” you would’ve spoken out when dementia-ridden Biden was letting millions of unvetted illegals in the country.

While many of you are likely yelling "GO AMERICA" I'm yelling "GO BELGIUM and the rule of law!"

@AdamKinzinger How have you become this big of a disgrace?

Even FIFA is engaged in trump crime family corruption. If USA wins the cup there will now always be an asterisk. Fair or unfair

@krassenstein You are a total POS!

@tubingtyler1 I’m going to try to get an early morning range session in this week to get back to basics. It all seems to come down to the grip and tempo for me.

@The_Hookset I can’t use my wedges anymore. I don’t get it.

Golf is stupid. I play all the time and I keep getting worse.
