I think you have mentioned in the past that your or your family has experience in the sport. Something I don't know but could easily find out: do bad scores from a team member drag down the rest of the team's score?
You guys sure seem excited for Olympic Golf!BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 7:27 pm Olympic golf starts tomorrow!
Not sure if i give a shit or not.
JT Xander and Morikawa could go 1 2 3 if they all play well. That'd be cool.
PReed is going to "want" it more than any Americans is my guess because he's got a whole lot of "fuck you" in his blood.
Hideki has incredible pressure on him. I am a sucker for a good story and him winning in JAPAN would be so cool to witness. He's who i am cheering for to win.
Cam Smith has some insane hair (Australia) and he's a cool dude.
For the draftkings players....i have a lineup for each of the favorites. But will be heavy on Hideki. Henrik Norlander is my low priced target. And then any low priced Euro Tour or PGA player. Mixing it up and not too committed to any guys (won't have anyone in over 35ish% of my lineups, probably do 15 lineups or so).
Have a weird feeling about Paul Casey. Never won a major. Maybe this will be his career highlight? Iirc Justin Rose won it last time. Maybe England can retain the gold again?
Yes. Bad scores count.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:48 amI think you have mentioned in the past that your or your family has experience in the sport. Something I don't know but could easily find out: do bad scores from a team member drag down the rest of the team's score?
If so, an even easier decision to sit it out.

From my perspective, it would be sort of selfish not to. It would be selfish to take up the next generation's oxygen.
Yeah, I suppose the wording could have been better, lol. I was just thinking that most people consider their job's their life as it gives them the ability to have a comfortable one. I didn't mean if they didn't medal they would be executed.

Coming from the guy who gives Embiid heat for sitting out the rest of the 14 season when he was cleared to play.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:56 am Yeah, I hadn't gotten that far into the weeds on it.

Why should someone who is still the best at what they do have to retire for others to have a chance? Would it be selfish if guys like Novak Djokavic, Dustin Johnson, Steph Curry, even 26 yr old Giannis decided to not retire? They've had their time on top, better step aside for the next generation.
Ice skating in my house but we pay attention to Gymnastics as well.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:48 amI think you have mentioned in the past that your or your family has experience in the sport.

I just meant that service in the South Korean military isn't very risky to their lives is all. I used to train with some athletes from South Korea and we discussed this very issue. Most young males there saw the required service as a huge pain in the butt that delayed or derailed their athletic and professional interests. Some were gung ho about it but usually do to family pressure to be so. Glad I wasn't born there.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 9:35 amYeah, I suppose the wording could have been better, lol.
