@golfweek Key word in this statement is “playable”. If a course is playable u play, doesn’t matter if it is “championship” conditions or not. All players are dealing with the same conditions so it’s a level playing field and can still determine who the deserving advancers are.

Feds showed up at #thewhitcliff today; apparently as pilots are approaching NWA Regional they are being hit with lasers in their eyes.

A season and a career coming to close today at Briarwood as we blow out irrigation and I help the club interview my successor. Been a great 12yrs, a lot of support but Muscular Dystrophy has made it too hard to carry out the grind anymore. Time to focus on family and health

Can use some prayers for this girl. Found her this morning upstairs after calling for her and she couldn’t get up. Finally got her up and her back legs weren’t wanting to do their thing. In tears for this girl.

I mean; in all the bullshit going around in the world. My only hope is this young lady can appreciate life, have a big heart, be accepting and not let negativity get the best of her. If only innocence like this could last a life time before poison sets in.

Got hit pretty good today by $nwbo; sadly wasn’t due to poor data but people that would rather see something fail vs a promising treatment for GBM and down the road other tumorous cancers. The data didn’t lie; they are giving people more life. I trust the science and the data.

Today was a hopefully day in a pursuit for “normalness” by tackling pain. Today I entered the trial period for Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Stimulation device. Fingers crossed this is successful in helping curb chronic pain in my low back and my legs.
