Can Scottie Catch Jack?

If Scottie averages one major win per year for the next decade he’ll still be several short of Jack and Tiger. These should be his prime years, so winning two majors every other year is possible. Unlike Tiger, it’s unlikely Scottie will change his swing or mess up his life while chasing all time records. It could be more likely that Scottie walks away from the game to lead a more quiet life.

DENISON on British Open champion Scottie Scheffler’s outlook on golf and life.

The one thing I’m not crazy about is the way Caitlin Clark complains to refs. But I am sure its frustrating to constantly be bullied and manhandled and beat down by the opposition.

Have a good weekend? Mine was so so.

Slept in on Saturday morning. Cleaned upstairs and downstairs and started some laundry. Went for a haircut, RaceTrac drink, and 2 for $3 Wendys. Later had to go back to Trader Joes for C. Folded clothes while watching the British Open and Happy’s Place. Ceil baked a chicken for supper.

Sunday School at JFBC. Ceil had made an eggy boy for breakfast. Then to Perimeter Mall, Publix, and Whole Foods. Ate lunch at Velvet Taco. It was okay, except for the foul mouthed ladies next to us.

Home to watch Open highlights. C made homemade peach ice cream. Didn’t need super after that. I caught up on emails and laptop stuff. Back to the gym Monday morning.

Habits boomers use that younger generations quietly admire

1. Keeping a handwritten journal or planner.

2. Making phone calls instead of texting.

3. Saving money for retirement.

4. Arriving early. Arriving prepared.

5. Fixing things instead of replacing them.

6. Reading books instead of listening to podcasts.

7. Practicing courtesy.

8. Sticking to what works instead of constantly upgrading.

PAUL SKENES [B-R Bio] is the only pitcher to start the All-Star Game in each of his first two seasons in the majors, in 2024 & 2025. He pitched only the 1st inning each time—2 hitless, scoreless innings. Skenes pitched for the U.S. Air Force Academy in college. He is a former John Olerud Award winner. The JOA, awarded to Skenes in 2022, honors the college career of Washington State alum John Olerud, whose prowess on the mound and at the plate is well documented. Skenes attended Jesuit El Toro H.S. in Lake Forest, California. MLB defensive aces Nolan Arenado and Matt Chapman also claim El Toro as their alma mater.
