Bryson DeChambeau was never one of my favorites, despite being a Christian and home schooled. But he does seem to be fun guy. All the fist pumping at the US Open seemed sincere. He makes YouTube videos. After shooting 58 he and a friend decided to try to shoot 50, by playing best ball from the front tees. They have shot 50 but not yet 49. Bryson tried it with Sergio Garcia as well.
Earlier this year Bryson reached out to the two Presidential candidates and invited them to participate in his break 50 challenge. This weekend we watched the video of Bryson and Trump shooting 50. For his 77 years, Trump is still a good golfer. He would hit a decent shot, allowing Bryson the chance to go for the green. More than once Trump’s shot was closer to the pin than Bryson’s. On one par 3 hole Trump hit it closer, then Trump sank the putt for birdie. Later on a par 5, Trump’s tee shot was better, his approach closer, and Trump sank the eagle putt. Bryson fell on the ground with excitement, exclaiming “He’s walking back to the cart like a boss!”
The 18 holes were edited down to 36 minutes, making it easy to watch. The video has claimed 6 million views, making it the highest trending video on YouTube right now. Bryson was giving $10,000.00 per shot under par to the Wounded Warrior Project – a total of $220,000.00.
Most of the Olympic golf comes on ion the middle of the night. I taped rounds 1 and 2. Lots of the usual suspects: Scottie, Xander, Rory, Colin, Im, Hidecki, etc.
Olympics: one of the best women boxers in the world had to withdraw from competition, instead of submitting to being pummeled by a transvestite boxer.
Kate Martin threw out the first pitch at a KC Royals game. No knee brace. She has the 4th highest selling WNBA jersey. Caitlin is #1.
Stetson Bennett is turning heads at the Rams training camp. Despite being the only QB to win two national championships in the 2000s, some wet behind the ears intern at ESPN only ranked him the 41st best QB in the last 24 years. Tim Tebow, perhaps the second-greatest football player in college football history, was only ranked 4th behind Cam Newton, who couldn’t beat Tebow out at Florida.
Sunday afternoon: stopped by Dekalb Farmers Market. Waited in the parking lot waiting on Ceil. There was a big wreck on 285 that we were able to detour around. Every time a closer parking space opens up, I move closer. Moved a total of 7 times. Kind of a game I play when I’m here. Got right up front. C always expects curb service.
Normally I park further away, at the end of a row where I can park all the way over next to the curb, the furthest away from the space. But at Dekalb F Market C gets upset if I’m not right where she can see me when she comes out – even though the place is always packed with hundreds of shoppers and cars in the huge lot. Yesterday by the time she came out it was pouring down rain so she wanted me to pull up to the curb, which is hard to see in the rain with shoppers coming in and out and two cars already parked there at the curb. I hate pulling up to the curb (except in the rain) because it is as if I am more important than everyone else.
Sunday night Winnie didn’t want to go outside before bedtime. Then at 1230 am she was pawing at me. We went downstairs but all she wanted was some water. Then at 515 when my alarm went off she wanted to go downstairs again, just for more water.
Monday: up early to do core training and stretching at the gym.

Why it’s important to take rest days.
How to develop poise.
SCIENCE: nurturing your friendships help you to live longer.
SCIENCE: an oncologist studied five thousand near death experience cases, and scientifically proves life after death.
SCIENCE: a new scientific study conducted by scientists confirms Proverbs 17:22 – “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones”. AKA laughter is the best medicine. Thusly a small town in northern Japan has ordered its citizens to laugh every day. No word on what the punishment will be for scofflaws.
