@ForePlayPod @BobHarig Maybe Rory should not be allowed at the major venues to practice in advance if he's not meeting the league's 15 event minimum. There's probably no way to enforce that, but that consequence would seem to be a nod toward fairness.

@AzBobbyl @KylePorterNS Literally less than an inch from a playoff on 18.

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@willhaskett That has certainly been the case today.

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@willhaskett I don't know what else the USGA could have done, but this is kind of embarrassing. The course that looked nearly impossible this morning is playing more like a municipal course this evening.

@danorlovsky7 Your humble attitude is a great start!
3 Things:
1) Put the Word of God (not your own wisdom) at the center of family life.
2) Take them (just you and them) on a significant outing at least once or twice each year (i.e. a 5-day fishing trip or a baseball stadium tour).
3) Pray.

The Word of God imparted by the Spirit of God is the only instruction that can guard our hearts and anchor our souls against the wickedness, waywardness, and weariness of this world.

-- 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Worship is the healthiest activity for the soul, because nothing else we might do aligns better with reality than praising our Creator. The better we know the one true God, the more we connect with what is real, right, and rewarding (Psalm 145:3).

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@KylePorterNS Thank you, and praise "The LORD, [who] is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). 🩷🙏

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@Hellblazer80 @BrianKirschner_ Agreed. It's obviously about both skill and luck, and luck factors into every tournament at least a little. However, when the conditions become unfair (e.g. there are no viable landing zones on greens), then luck often wins the day.

@JBay_AllTheWay I had the privilege to see Burlap to Cashmere at a really small venue right after the release of "Anybody Out There," and it remains one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Those guys were talented and tight, and small venues are the best.

@MLFootball Oh my goodness! It's Ryan from High School Musical all grown up! 😃

@SchefflerLegion What would you say: Scottie maybe had his C or C+ game this week?

And still, he beat everybody in the field except a guy who played out of his mind and basically holed every put he looked at all week. 🤷‍♂️

So, all in all, not too bad, I guess. 😊

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@TeeplesCY @NancyRPearcey You're so close on this one.

The point is not that merely showing up for church blesses families. It's that, in Christ, God blesses families who earnestly seek Him.

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

Undistracted determination to delight in God and dwell with Him is the predominate desire that defeats the devil.

"I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken" (Psalm 16:8).

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@Ineverglow I can't choose! Can we declare a tie? 😄

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@Pro__Ant Exactly! If they have 3 or 4 guys (such as Miller, McDonald, Rodriguez, & McNeil-Warren) that they value equally but can realistically only draft one, then as long as all four are available, they might as well trade back two or three picks at a time and accumulate draft capital.

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@NateGearySports I also like the trades. Great return! The Bills biggest needs are DT and LB, and the best of both are still on the board.

[Luke Raczykowski @LukeRaczykowski]

@AaronQuinn716 Everybody's a football genius, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

@HansFiene Agreed! Shorts, especially press conferences, is the real reason for the apparent demise of LIV Golf. 😬😆
