That one went right over my head, probably because those "ease and fluidity" days are long gone. I've really grown to appreciate 3 person mechanics!

You'll get that with a pitching wedge from about 120 yds out. Time to start spending some of those game fees on greens fees.

What if you're over 50 and can only count the number of lines that have scribble in them? (You young guys will know what I'm talking about in 20 years or so).

Was there any discussion (or any time for discussion) with the jv officials about these situations. It appears there may have been opportunity for a couple "learning moments" here.

I don't think we're talking about world class athletes here. Haven't seen many of them in stripes. Far too many of us are 'athletes' bordering on the other end of that spectrum.

Really? On the basketball court? I'd bet most of the referee injuries are due to inadequate stretching, carrying too much weight, or otherwise being out of shape. Those are controllable, if we...

It's been a long time since I've worked a small court like that. When there is play or a drive in close to the hoop, I found it best to keep wide rather than close down. Taking a couple steps onto...

Some of us are just getting older and need more help than stretching alone will provide. I had the old "slice 'n dice" torn cartilage operations 40 and 30 years ago. Over the years, Advil was my...

Inbounds spot when restart is a throw-in. Bottom of the lane when restart is a free throw. That's for 30's and full's.

Maybe this discussion should morph into "the purpose of technical fouls".

The "T" was placed into the rule book as a tool to maintain order and sportsmanship. It shouldn't be viewed as a weapon.
