Being someone who is about ten years younger, but has knees 10 years older than the poster you addressed, I don't think a 'medium' would work for me...I need a 'large.'


As for...

..I would bet that 98%+ of golfers here (even us single digit ones)...cannot consistently hit an 8 iron 155 yards.

In fact, here are the 'averages' for the pros.

http://golftips.golfweek.com/average...fer-20585.html

...8-iron shots 150 to 170 yards;

My one and only (to date ) hole-in-one was an 8 iron @ 161 yards (memorialized by a plaque from the course, due to a tournament)... but was also 15 years ago and was totally flushed and at the upper limit of that club. Even then my 'average' for that club was about 150 yards.

And yes, I realize there are those rare individuals that can hit a golf ball a long ways...all through the bag.

After all, how else could the old adage that "the woods are full of big hitters"... ever have come about?

I don't know how Carl has extrapolated that to be $70,000 per year.
Perhaps Carl knows the details of her schedule; I don't.

I didn't say $70,000 per year. I said that a waiting list of 350 people at $200 each was a potential income of $70,000. (She says that some have been waiting over a year and a half.)

I arrived at the $100,000 per year by adding up some of her scheduled events admission costs, and estimating the unknowable amounts that she gets from her monthly webinars, and her book profits.

In another post you resent me calling her an entrepreneur. That is not a term of disparagement. Look up the definition. "A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so."

Generally, Americans admire entrepreneurs, like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.

But this is off topic. I only responded because you questioned my figures.

I too had an event memorialized by a plaque attached to a tree on a course I used to play frequently in Germany.

It reads, "Rapscallion St Croix's putter died at the hands of its master on this tree on 7 July 1997." It doesn't really say RSC, but you get the picture. True story.

Oh, I can certainly believe it.

Are you by any chance left-handed and did you play Strawberry Farms in Irvine, CA back in 2004 sometime?

The Ranger said it had been there a few days and each group through pretty much just took a photo of it...and left it as is.

Now, we are back on topic. "Can people really contact dead people's spirits?"

Yes, as I said, Penn & Teller are illusionists (magicians) who have been working the trade for about a half a century.

Among the things that they are familiar with are what is called in the illusion trade, "Mentalists." There is a very direct correlation between the acts of Mentalists and the demonstrations of Psychics. It is this correlation that appears to motivate Penn to condemn the Psychics who do not acknowledge that they are deceiving their audience.

I attempted once to post the link to Penn's video. It didn't work out because of objectionable words in the title. Let's try this:
