    This is an awesome story. This guy qualified for a Korn Ferry Tour even on Monday which is no small fest for any professional golfer golfer, but even more so if you’re homeless. Check it out…

    Nah, Moe Norman and others used to live in their cars. Par for the course! In all seriousness, it’s crazy, sad and unbelievable.

    During the game's heyday, I thought about living out of my car to play professional Pokemon Go. But after driving the wrong way down a parking ramp chasing a Jigglypuff, I blew out all four of my tires and had to sell my prized Mewtwo and Dark Charizard to replace them. Then I went home. That was quite the lunchbreak.

    The Sweeney guy has status on PGA Tour Canada this summer, so I'm no longer quite as disturbed by his story.

    His rapping is still kind of disturbing, though!

    Sweeney is -3 through 4 holes in round one (T1). Sweeney winning this weekend would truly make this story a thing of awesomeness!

    Even better...apparently he has an ace already in the round. He aced #13, which is his fourth hole of the round. Here's video: https://twitter.com/KornFerryTour/st...012784660?s=20

    Ah, you beat me to it. What an incredible start!

    Re: Awesomeness Only

    I posted a couple months ago about my sons team (with him pitching) beating the team that pretty much destroys everyone else. That team made it through the rest of the season undefeated after we beat them, including beating us 2 times. We faced them this Saturday in the playoffs championship game-we scored 2 in the 1st but they scored 9 in the first 2- it looked over, but we slowly crept back in and beat em for the championship! My son went 2-3 with 4 rbi and a run scored (he played 3rd but didn't have a play all game). It was maybe the most exciting moment I can recall on the field-I had some great games but seeing my son finally on a team that won was a memory I wont ever forget.

    I was told this weekend by somebody I looked well over 10 years younger than what my age suggests

    While take can be viewed in different ways, I'll try and see it as a compliment

    This isn't a story, rather a short vid of Dan Osman setting a record for fastest ascent up a route at "Lovers Leap" near Strawberry CA.

    Not a difficult climb but long and exposed, plus he does it in free-climb fashion.

    Awesome is a good word for it

    Spending a few nights on the GA coast. Mrs. and I were up for an early morning beach walk. We got flagged down by a DNR turtle watch permit holder who needed help with an active nest of hatchlings. We shooed away predators so 60+ hatchlings could journey about 100 yards from nest in dunes to the ocean.

    (Abiding by all federal and state laws in the process.)
