To be fair, a lot of it was just keeping up with equipment improvements. Tiger and Jack were just good enough to make it obviously necessary.

To be fair, the changes in golf technology from the 60's through the 80's is not comparable to the advancements made from the 90's to present. For those who really want to understand the differences, and are willing to consider the facts regarding Nicklaus' game, the following articles are a worthwhile read.

A quote from Sports Illustrated...
“He rarely had to take anything out of his golf bag but his driver, wedge, putter and towel. … Meanwhile, just about everybody else, including [Dick] Hart and [Shelley] Mayfield, was wilting in the heat like a yellow rose of somewhere.”

 They were talking about Nicklaus.

In 1982, Couples was a limberbacked 22-year-old with immense flexibility. He averaged 268.7 yards in driving distance, which was eighth on the PGA Tour.
In 2009, Couples was a 49-year-old with a decade-and-a-half battling serious back problems. He averaged 297.5 yards in driving distance, which was 24th on the PGA Tour.

Could you imagine if there were a player on the PGA Tour today who could consistently hit the ball 360+ yards, strike the ball like Sergio Garcia and putt as well if not better than Tiger Woods?

Well, that would essentially be Jack Nicklaus, if he were transplanted to today’s PGA Tour during the prime of his career.

Besides WR's, who tf does Florida have that will beat us this upcoming season?

Offense
Kyle Trask - QB
Damien Pierce - RB
Trevon Grimes - WR
Jacob Copeland - WR
Kadarius Toney - WR
Kyle Pitts - TE
Their O-line will be alright


Defense
Zach Carter - DL
Dunlap Jr - DL
Campbell - DL
Cox Jr. - Buck
Houston - ILB
Miller - ILB
Wilson - Star
Jaydon Hill/ Kaiir Elam - CB
Dean - CB
Stiner - S
Stewart - S

I don't see a strong team. Prove me wrong.

No, the war was not about just one thing. But one thing loomed larger and more consistently across the secession statements from the states themselves:

South Carolina


Mississippi


Louisiana


Alabama


Texas


The "States Rights" motive was a branding exercise to make the South's position more palatable when seeking material assistance from France and other European countries. The first people to be confused by the new line were Southerners themselves.

A Richmond newspaper:
"‘The people of the South are not fighting for slavery but for independence.’ Let us look into this matter. It is an easy task, we think, to show up this new-fangled heresy — a heresy calculated to do us no good, for it cannot deceive foreign statesmen nor peoples, nor mislead any one here nor in Yankeeland. . . Our doctrine is this: WE ARE FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE THAT OUR GREAT AND NECESSARY DOMESTIC INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY SHALL BE PRESERVED, and for the preservation of other institutions of which slavery is the groundwork."

More succinctly, Confederate army cavalry battalion commander John S Mosby after the war:
"I’ve never heard of any other cause than slavery.”

lol. Again - some have a lack of understanding about the game. They are media headlines driven. ESPN said it so it must be so.

He also came in second in 19 majors. That is domination and that will never be equaled.

Which was a point I made to Bass that went right over his head. You would have to know the game to understand. If you have ever played a round with even a journeyman PGA tour pro in a pro am, you would know exactly what that stat means.

No desire to interrupt the Tiger/Jack debate, but I'm quite convinced that C-19 can be greatly tamed by Vit D. I keep coming back to Iceland. Vitamin D supplementation is critical in Nordic countries, and they do so regularly through food and pills. Their mortality rate is hanging there at about 0.4%. Every major region or population group that has been particularly bad is also known for having low Vitamin D. Every one. There were studies done on the 1918 Spanish Flu that concluded that Vitamin D greatly reduced mortality. Black Americans are dying at a rate double their population representation, and they are known for having D deficiency at more than 2x white Americans. In addition to improving immunity, Vit D also modulates the release of inflammatory cytokines, which is what is killing people now (not the virus), and what what killed them in 1918.

Guys, the vaccine already exists. It's Vitamin D. The summertime sun doesn't kill the flu, the summertime sun makes us immune to the flu.

Now Bill Gates is a hated man amongst the conspiracy people? How did we get here?

And please don't tell me the 4chan kid/QAnon hoax.

Bill Gates worked with WHO to secretly sterilize people in 3rd world countries through vaccinations. I'm not a conspiracy guy. Those are actual facts that the WHO owned up to. I think, like most people, he is complicated. He has done a ton of good.
