I have a 5 year old niece who I go and see once a week, after hanging out with her for a couple hours and giving her piggy back rides and what not I'm absolutely exhausted. You've got to be mentally unstable to choose to have 6 of those little focks running around. It's not linear. A single child gets doted on by both parents. With two, each gets individual parent attention. We ended up with three, where you need to play a zone defense vs. man to man. At this point kids learn valuable lessons like patience, since your son for instance is stuck sitting in the dance studio lobby waiting for his sisters' class to end. I imagine by six, the dynamic is something like Lord of the Flies meets Hunger Games. My bro's wife is the youngest of eight. Countless times people have said to her "OMG, why did your parents have eight kids?!" which is basically saying, "you should never have been born." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,565 Posted January 29 22 hours ago, jerryskids said: Also, on a random golf note: I think I mentioned here that I got a 4-pack of golf lessons for my son and me for Christmas. We had the first lesson last week. I've never had a lesson, because I always think I'm the smartest person in the room. After watching one, maybe two of my swings with a wedge, the instructor pointed out that I was doing a low backswing, inside-out type of swing which was restricting my (already bad) flexibility and, contrary to what you (and by you, I mean "I") would think, causing me to push irons to the right, unless I Mr. Snappy'd them to the left. He had me work on a 1/2 to 2/3 speed swing with an exaggerated straight back takeaway. Also had me stand a little farther away from the ball. We moved to a 7 iron, and holy shiot, I was hitting the ball close to 150 yards with what felt like barely a swing. If you take the club back inside and then come over the top on the downswing, most people will slice or hit a weak push as they cut or wipe across the ball. Probably has you standing up and out of your stance and falling back a bit… or a lot. Sometimes you will “Mr snappy” it. I tell my friends to take the club away low and slow and exaggerate feeling like they are pushing the club out and away from their body as they take it away. Put an alignment stick behind the ball pointed out to the right (if you’re standing behind the ball) and try to keep the club on that path as long as possible on your backswing. This leaves pretty much no option but to have a more out to in swing path Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is definitely a niche market, and if you dig deep enough there is info out there now. From what I have seen out of ESPN wagering shows, this may help us as the so called football experts are auto fade for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
