RHP/SS Cooper Yarbrough (2028) with a quick inning to close out the win for the Huskies. Higher 3/4 slot, quick arm working aggressively down the mound. Late ride to the fastball, breaking ball featured quality 11/5 shape, late depth. Turned over a few quality changeups. 9/13

Every single soul carries a piece of the grand puzzle. If you just do what you love to do with the intention of bringing awareness to the things that are most important, the world would change rapidly.

Braves legend Terry Pendleton says the Minnesota Twins had help at the Metrodome during the 1987 and 1991 World Series. “They had control of the blowers in that place.” Pendleton says the airflow changed depending on who was hitting and Kirby Puckett’s famous HR had help.

I ran a poll asking what the most important factor in a junior golfer’s development is. I was shocked that everybody didn’t pick Parenting. Because after 25 years in competitive golf, having 3 kids of my own play D1 golf, coaching at Duke and Ohio State, and working with hundreds of junior golf families, here’s what I’ve observed, researched and learned: How you parent is the single biggest factor in your child’s junior golf success. Almost nobody shows parents how to do this well. I’m on a mission to change that. So, here are the 10 most important factors in elite golf parenting. From my chapter on Parenting in Becoming Elite: 1.Create a Safe Environment. Your home must be a safe harbor, not a pressure cooker. Your love is unconditional and separate from their golf score. Same affection after an 85 as after a 65. If your mood changes with their scorecard, you are creating a toxic environment that destroys their love for the game. And eventually your relationship. 2.The Car Ride Home. This is where most parents blow it. The car ride home is a sanctuary. A no golf talk zone. Enforce the 48 Hour Rule. Let them decompress, listen to music, stare out the window. The post round autopsy is one of the most damaging things a parent can do. 3.Body Language. Your kids are reading you on every single shot. Every. Single. Shot. A fist pump after a birdie tells them birdies are what matter. Slumped shoulders after a bogey tells them you’re disappointed. Your expression must be the same after a birdie as after a double bogey. Calm, positive, steady. You are the emotional thermostat. 4.Communication. The most important words when they come off the 18th green: I love to watch you play. Not “what did you shoot.” Not “what happened on 12.” After 48 hours, ask open ended questions. How do you feel about your round? What were you most proud of? What do you want to work on? You are a facilitator, not a judge. 5.Creating Ownership. A player led journey is sustainable. A parent led journey leads to burnout. If you are more invested than they are, that is a red flag. Motivation must come from within. Great parents ask questions instead of giving answers. The player who owns their development keeps improving long after the lessons end. 6. Giving them Freedom. Be a lighthouse, not a tugboat. At tournaments, stay at least 50 yards away. Do not walk the fairway with them or stand behind every green. Give them space to breathe and compete. Do not talk to them during the round unless they initiate. They are in their performance bubble. Do not burst it. 7.Allowing Them to Fail. Failure is not the enemy. It is a prerequisite to growth. Your child is more resilient than you think. They can handle failure and disappointment. They need you to believe in them and let them learn, not protect them from every setback. Removing the opportunity to fail is the real enemy. 8.Staying in Your Lane. You are the parent. Not the coach. Not the caddy. Not the swing analyst. These roles do not mix. Constantly offering swing advice creates a toxic triangle of confusion. Hire a professional. Trust them. Stay out of the way. Your job is love and support. Period. 9.Building an Identity Beyond Golf. If your child’s entire sense of self worth is tied to their golf score, you are setting them up for misery. They are a person who plays golf, not the other way around. Encourage other interests. Protect their social life. Let them go to school dances. Family vacations and time with siblings are sacred. A one dimensional identity is one of the three ingredients that causes burnout. 10.Playing the Long Game. This is a 10 year journey, not a 10 tournament sprint. You are not in a race to be the best 12 year old golfer. You are on a patient journey to see how good they can be at 18, at 22, and beyond. Slow down. The car rides, the early morning tee times, the post round ice cream. These are the moments you will remember. Savor them.

This is what happens when you change the rules for safety! Apparently he was supposed to step over the safety or green portion of the base and touch the white portion to record the out. If he had done that wouldn’t he have put himself in position for a collision with the runner who is supposed to touch the green portion? It’s all so confusing! #shegone @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @SliderDominate @BLocsports @hittingguru7 @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @CoachMunoz51

"The "Philadelphia Inquirer" found dangerous chemicals in the astroturf of the now-demolished Veterans Stadium. Six Phillies who played on that turf, Tug McGraw, Darren Daulton, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, and David West have died of a rare and aggressive brain cancer.

So the guy Bud Selig hand picked to oversee the investigation into PED usage in baseball that resulted in the famed Mitchell Report, George Mitchell, is all over the Epstein Files in the most disgusting way imaginable?

Trump just declared, "glyphosate-based herbicides are a cornerstone of this Nation’s agricultural productivity and rural economy." And he's declaring glyphosate weedkiller to be a federally-protected critical resources. This is insanity. He is now pushing the mass poisoning of American food crops and groceries with cancer-causing deadly weedkiller chemicals that will be sprayed all over the food crops. Trump just declared chemical warfare on the American people. It's all here in black and white: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

This is Leon Black. He is one of the billionaire pedophiles in the Epstein files. He owns Lifetouch: The biggest school picture company in America that photographs millions of kids each year. Your childrens’ photos are being uploaded to a database that’s owned by a pedophile.

Former @MLB player John Vander Wal nailed it on his @facebook post! #shegone The game is in an awful state. I scouted professionally for two organizations over a ten-year period, and a lot of what we’re seeing today is being misunderstood or flat-out misrepresented. First,

@CoachPerk @AROD Good stuff! #professionalhitter Hands above the ball Barrel above the hands Hands inside the ball

@shegone03 @AdvilRelief There’s no comparison. I came through the Vioxx years (was amazing) - turns out very dangerous. But steroids are in a performance enhancing category of their own. Strength, aggression, recovery, focus, intensity, confidence. I never did them myself but I witnessed it

Remember when Nolan Ryan endorsed @AdvilRelief because he said it would help him go another 9 innings? Doesn’t that technically make it a Performance Enhancing Drug? Just because it’s sold over the counter that makes it OK? I’ve argued with idiots all day who insist that greenies and steroids are the same level of cheating. It’s like comparing 🍎 & 🍊 #shegone

Good Morning X, It's a good day to Pay it Forward.

Hall of Famer George Brett knows a little bit about hitting #shegone nation. It really is that simple folks! Balance, timing and rhythm are the KEYS to being a great hitter! @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @SliderDominate @slider_sinker @ROXSystem @BLocsports @wilpujols @artofhitting @CRAIG_LAPINER @hittingguru7 @TheRealJHair @DMEASrecruiting @GDBJr5 @ToddPratt07 @RealCJ10 @zack_cozart

@shegone03 One of the true original grifters

Chas has been grifting for quite a while and he disappeared for a long time but I guess he’s back. Welcome back Chas! BTW Chas was a pitcher in college. 😂😂😂 #shegone

For everyone trying to figure out what’s going on right now Nails can break it down for you: if Trump stayed true to what he ran on no one would have flinched, not with the Charlie thing, not with anything, his base was as loyal as a base can be. Problem is he didn’t! Here we are. Border yes, Epstein absolutely not, no involvement overseas absolutely not. Does that mean the left is the better option? Never, but if you can’t call it like you see it and tell the truth without being called a traitor or get crucified by these losers who get emails with talking points from the White House and think they’re American patriots then this isn’t even a shell of a free country. I’m always gonna call it like it see it. I’m not in a cult, never have been and never will be. If you don’t like it GFY 🤷‍♂️ NailsKnows 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Mike_kim714 @acaseofthegolf1 It should be based on the lowest knee / shortest shin in the field. Mandatory shin measuring when you check into the event. Then mark all shins with a sharpie before each round. No more advantage drops for short shins!!

@acaseofthegolf1 Isn’t it supposed to be knee height? Or is it the camera angle?

The little ways we can speed up golf. Nico wanted to play it from the cart path after hitting his drive into the hazard. But he had to drop it three times before placing it. It’s cement, it’s not staying, can’t we just start with placing it?
