Achieve GOAT Swing - Use Throwing Motion Instead of Rotation đď¸ââď¸
Achieve the GOAT Swing by using a throwing motion instead of rotation! đď¸ââď¸ In this live golf lesson clip, you'll discover why swapping rotation with a throwing motion can enhance your golf swing and lead to better performance on the course.
Start by setting up correctly and moving your upper body back. Focus on having your hands aligned with the center of your body. Instead of relying on rotational speed, use the throwing motion to generate power. This helps you stay behind the ball and get deeper into the right leg. By practicing this setup and motion, you'll find it easier to deliver the perfect swing.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced golfer, these tips and golf training aids can make a significant impact on your game. Watch the full lesson to see the transformation and learn how to achieve the GOAT swing!

Tiger Woods Returns To PGA Tour At Riviera
To see Tiger stalking the fairways once more, this time dressed in white, was like a return to former years in golf. Tiger Woods returns to PGA Tour at Riviera Country Club in LA. Perhaps for a moment we could forget about LIV and the predations forced upon the menâs tour by greed and Saudi Arabian oil money. Hey, Tiger looked in much better shape with the limp barely noticeable. He hot it prettyâŚ

"Looking back, Iâve been researching this UFO crew since at least 2007, very directly. UFO cultist Steven Greer met his wife Emily in Israel studying with meditation guru Maharishi. This is all tied to David Lynch and the related transcendental meditation (TM) groups. đ§ľ
This relevant now because his UFO cultist cohort Dennis Kucinich is now managing RFK Jrâs presidential campaign. Kucinich ran for POTUS in 2007 on a UFO platform based out of none other than⌠Sheldon Adelsonâs Las Vegas, NV.
John Hagelin runs the Maharishi meditation organization out of LA. Hagelin "is a theoretical physicist who ran for the U.S. presidency three times on the Maharishi-backed Natural Law Party" (1992, 1996, 2000).â
In 2000 race he was backed by the Perot faction and disrupted Pat Buchanon. In 2004 he handed the ropes over and endorsed Kucinich.
This same culty, meditation, UFO crew has been trying to run for POTUS for nearly 20 years. It continues through today with RFK Jr.
Is it a coincidence that people threatening President Biden via his son Hunter, suggesting he is âstealing the electionâ per a hooker they know? I donât think it is at all. This group is assaulting the US democracy and the integrity of the office of the President.
I think theyâve been storming the US Presidential position since the fall of the Soviet Union, using propaganda, cults, misinformation, and sadly via trying to compromise the sons of US presidents from JFK to Hunter Biden.
Maharishi seems like Indian intelligence. A lot of these 1970s new age space gurus interacted with these âspace love sex LSDâ guru types for decades. Is it a coincidence that Howard Bloom has worked with Modhi on space initiatives for DECADES?
Is it a coincidence that I know Howard Bloom and that he and Moonie NEWT GINGRICH were advocating for a moon colony during the Trump Admin? Can I sound any⌠crazier? 𤣠Reality is stranger than any fiction.
Newt Gingrich trying to sell Trump on a cheap moon plan A general, Gingrich and Michael Jackson's publicist are proposing a $2 billion contest to return Americans to the moon.
Why is Jeff Bezos pushing this UFO propaganda with Harvard and the Luis Elizondo guy? See the L5 Society hippy space cult shit. Both Bezos and Newt were part of that since teenagers (I think, find the reference.) L5 Society is connected to Timothy Leary and the usual suspects.
This all looks to me like a BRICS assault on the US Presidency and space industry since literally JFK challenged us to go to the moon. End thread."
Kukral even knew these đ cults would try this. What is it with all of these cults? I'll just take a wild guess the Moonies came from yet another Freemasons group and no surprise that it considers Democracy Satanic. Projection as big as the Empire State building. I can't believe it hasn't occurred to people these objects probably came from some mad scientist and his billionaire backers. That's where we are, now.
#Producers Guild Association#PGA#Timothy Leary#Moonies#Jeff Bezos turbs out to be exactly the the nut I thought he was#Dr Hassan#UFO sightings as anti-Democratic hoax#Newt Gingrich#Robert F Kennedy#Alien myth started out as a white supremacy notion to explain the Egyptian pyramids and I was told it's not seem that way anymore.

Hayes Madsen for Inverse - Game Changers: 'Corinne Busche Is the Ruler of RPGs, Conqueror of Haters'
The director of Dragon Age brings her personal journey to life in her games with a rich, messy tapestry of love, life, and romance.
[source]
"If thereâs a single Dragon Age character that ever made their way to Super Smash Bros, it should be the lovable dwarf Varric Tethras â at least thatâs what Dragon Age: The Veilguard director Corinne Busche thinks. âCan you imagine, in a game like Smash Bros, seeing him whip around the battlefield,â Busche tells Inverse, âYou could smash someone back off the ledge by giving Bianca a good old toss, and donât worry, itâll ricochet, heâll catch it. It writes itself.â Varric, always with his beloved crossbow Bianca, has been something of a poster dwarf for the franchise â a constant in a series that drastically changes between each entry. But Varric himself is also a perfect representation of Dragon Age at large. An emotionally complex character, Varric openly deals with deep trauma, but can still manage to be whimsical and uplifting. That holistic sense of character is a big part of whatâs made Dragon Age so successful, and lasting. Its influence is clear to see, especially in the 2023 Game of the Year, Baldurâs Gate 3 â which heavily borrows from the world and party member design of Dragon Age games. Itâs a connection thatâs been pointed out by countless fans and critics â but whatâs fascinating is how Baldurâs Gate 3 and Veilguard feel like theyâre advancing different aspects of Dragon Ageâs identity. âItâs not lost on me, and itâs not lost on the team, how important these games are in peopleâs lives,â Busche says, âComing into this game, thatâs a tremendous feeling of accountability and of needing to be true and authentic to what these games mean to people.â When it comes to authenticity in games, plenty of directors and developers talk the talk, but Busche is the rare game maker who delivers. From her time with The Sims to Dragon Age, Busche has always brought a deep sense of humanity to the game, putting characters first and never shying away from nuance or complexity in identity, relationships, and existential crises. Itâs what makes Busche a leader in the industry, and why BioWare tried so hard to carry on the Dragon Age seriesâ legacy with Veilguard. But Busche isnât finished yet. Sheâs come a long way in the industry and has wisdom to impart â and more projects to come."
"Varric himself is also a perfect representation of Dragon Age at large. An emotionally complex character, Varric openly deals with deep trauma, but can still manage to be whimsical and uplifting"
"The Days Before Fantasy Like many developers, Busche got her start from humble beginnings, working on a series thatâs a far cry from a fantasy epic â Tiger Woods PGA Tour. In fact, Busche hadnât planned on working video games at all, but using her digital animation degree she landed work on Tiger Woods as an environmental artist, and the desire to keep making games stuck like glue. But her love of RPGs started long before that, with some deep-cut classics like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and Final Fantasy XII â which she argues is the best one in the series. An even bigger influence on her personal philosophy as a developer, however, was the Square Enix cult classic Xenogears. âThat was the first RPG that really touched my heart, that made me cry, where I feel in love with the characters, and realize these games have something to say,â says Busche âThey touch on deep socially relevant narratives through these fantasy setting and the complexity of characters.â"
"Xenogears was an incredibly influential game to developers like Busche. Its creator, Tetsuya Takahashi, went on to make the wildly popular Xenoblade franchise."
"Those specific RPGs have a lot to say about identity and personality, and thatâs a topic that Busche has constantly wanted to explore in her work â how games can explore autonomy and choice. Busche has been open in the past about transitioning while at BioWare, and how much the studio helped her feel seen and supported. But thereâs another vital piece of her career that directly played into Buscheâs expertise with Dragon Age, and it might not be what you think. Before leading the charge on Veilguard, Busche honed her skills working on an even bigger mega-hit franchise, The Sims. For over five years she worked in designer and creative director roles. âWorking at Maxis and on a game like The Sims, is an incredibly fortunate environment for a designer to really hone their craft, and the reason I say that is theyâre deeply complex games,â says Busche, âYouâre really exploring underlying systems that drive character behaviors, skill progression, game economies, all allowing for emergent gameplay.â"
"Busche cut her teeth on the Sims 3: Into the Future expansion."
"To Busche, games like The Sims, or even Animal Crossing, continue to flourish because of human nature, the inherent need we have to be social creatures and form connections. Theyâre deeply relatable games that reflect our real lives, but in a way, that same idea can apply to a complex RPG like Dragon Age â and Buscheâs time with The Sims gave her a unique advantage going into Veilguard. âI love that marriage of simulation and these fantasy worlds full of rich, deep characters that feel lived in. I believe that as RPGs continue to evolve, what youâll see is an increasing focus on that marriage between simulation and a fantasy storytelling layer,â says Busche âAfter all, itâs about immersion, itâs about autonomy and relatedness. These are deep common aspects between these two seemingly different styles of games.â"
"An Origins Story Dragon Age has been a lot of things over the years, an open world game, a mobile hero-collecting title, dozens of comics and books, and even a Netflix series. Fan-created works have flourished for nearly two decades â the fan fiction archive website Archive of Our Own even has over 13,000 entries for Dragon Age: Origins alone. That idea of player agency and identity is the very bedrock of what Dragon Age is built on. As such, Dragon Age has always been incredibly progressive. Origins liberally featured queer romances, and Inquisition, the third game in the series, has a whole plotline about a major side character being transgender. This allows the series to explore themes of identity and belonging in ways other RPGs canât, and Veilguard certainly sticks to that idea. âIâm an openly queer, trans woman,â Busche says. âIt shaped everything about who I am, and itâs been the source of a lot of joy, a lot of difficulty, and perspective. For me personally, one of the greatest gifts about being trans is the amount of introspection it forces upon you. You spend a lot of time deeply examining who you are, and why that matters.â"
"Zevran from Dragon Age: Origins was an accomplished assassin, but, more notably in 2009, a bisexual character."
"For Busche, great games offer a mirror that allows you to reflect on your own identity, preferences, and choices. When developing a game, Busche says she is âthinking about the role introspection plays on people in general, and how each of us go through our lives having these moments of crises, epiphanies, and those quiet moments when youâre alone. These are questions that are ripe for personalized experiences like RPGs, especially when you consider our biggest creative pillar: Be who you want to be.â To Busche and the team it âfelt like the right timeâ to really take Dragon Ageâs exploration of identity further, especially with a character like Rook thatâs so molded by the playerâs personal feelings and thoughts. But one of the more interesting strides Veilguard makes is allowing you to share experiences, including romances, with a compelling cast of party members â easily some of the most memorable characters BioWare has ever created."
"The Fight For Progress And Fate For Dragon Age Questions about BioWareâs future abound, especially with the team now pivoting to focus work on Mass Effect 5 â a similarly long-awaited comeback for a beloved franchise. But in the immediate future the studio has faced a different problem, a hate campaign thatâs put Veilguard at the center of a kind of culture war on social media, along with plenty of hateful comments toward developers and review bombing on sites like Metacritic. âI think we should talk about it,â Busche says. âItâs hard. I grew up in a time when it really felt like weâre there to celebrate the games and to have these shared experiences, and that drive is still there. I think the discourse we see is the result of highly polarized times, and perhaps itâs a little naive. I know itâs hard when you have to ask the question, is this game for me? Do I belong here? And games are better for it when we can say yes, you do belong here.â Dragon Age is far from the only game thatâs come under fire recently, particularly for inclusions of diversity, or diverse storytelling. For most of this year, Assassinâs Creed Shadows has been the constant target of a hate campaign, with Ubisoftâs art director recently condemning the backlash and harassment the studio and team has faced. The creator of the indie game Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, Abubakar Salim, has also been vocal about the âfever pitchâ of racism the game and its team have received. These kinds of events seem to be happening more and more, but for BioWare and Busche, the focus is on celebrating what the team has created. âI know, and something thatâs very important to me, is that games are inherently diverse when you think about the size of these teams and the specializations you have within them. When you have diverse, complex, large groups of people coming together to make something, of course, the game is going to be a reflection of those teams,â says Busche âI think we need to consider that we can make the most authentic, best experiences when weâre tying into what makes us as the developers, and you as the fans, when we can tie into those elements that make us distinctly human, and that means differences.â In Buscheâs mind, not embracing the lived experiences of the development team would result in stories and worlds that feel less relatable, less alive. Game developers also need to feel safe in what they do, which ultimately means being able to see themselves reflected in their work. âWe have an incredibly diverse player base, and what I mean by that is their motivations and expectations,â Busche says. âThis becomes the biggest opportunity to continue that tradition of reinvention.â At the end of the day, gamers Busche believes gamers have so much in common, starting with a love for the game. âWhat I long for is just that opportunity for us as gamers to step back and get in touch with why we fell in love with games in the first place, and recognize how difficult and complicated and messy it is to make games,â says Busche, âTo share these vulnerable experience and just approach it with a little greater sense of kindness and curiosity.â"

Putt Slut? - Rafe Cameron Daydreams âď¸
+18 Minor DNI
Rafe x GolferGirlfriend!Reader
âď¸ republished âď¸
đŞ language and mentions of smut
650
You two havenât seen each other long, but when you show up to the course with a bag of Callaway REVAs, he canât help but get a little rattled, especially when heâs used to his girls play caddie, if that. He watches you smooth out your Vouri dress, slipping on your glove and Callaway hat before pulling your pony through the back. His eyes double, as you lean down to tie your shoes, catching a glimpse of your dressâs built-in shorts where he would typically see lace, mesh, or pussy.
âI didnât know you were a golfer, princess,â his voice wavers.
To which you smile and nod. âYou didnât? Yeah. Since I was six.â He swallows hard as the stakes are quickly raised.
Suddenly, Rafe Cameron is nervous.
How would he impress you now? What if you won?
You came out of the front nine in the lead with Rafe at his wits end. He had no patience; his short game was a mess, too focused on what you would do next, which always seemed to be the right move. Not to mention you looked so good doing it, your focus locked on the game. Rafe found himself in a strange position where he was now fighting for your eye.
Halfway through the back nine, he found himself at a crossroads. There was no way he would win: play fair and lose to his girl or play dirty and knock you down a little⌠It started simply by disturbing your backswing or during a putt, a cough, or a sneeze. Normal enough. When that didnât work, he switched to praise. The type of praise that would make you feel nervous about the next shot. But you didnât falter.
There was only one tactic that remained. The one that could always throw him off his game. Rafe unbuttoned the top button of his crisp white polo, fingers curling around the leather steering wheel to let his biceps flex. Every movement was a little closer than before: your position on the golf cart, where he stood on the green, how long heâd linger for a kiss. He was talking sweeter too, his low tone deep and raspy as he leaned into your ear, holding your hips from behind as you took a few practice strokes.
âYou look so pretty, baby.â
âFuck, my girlâs so good at this.â
âWanna take a break. Hmm? I know a spot, honey. Wanna make you feel good.â
âNeed you so bad.â
âDonât make me wait.â
PLOP.
Your ProV1 golf ball plunges into the depths of the murky pond as a sinister smile spread on Rafeâs lips. Your eyes narrow on his baby blues, catching him in the act, clocking his excitement as you put two and two together. The rest of the round plays out like the PGA tournament because, unlucky for Rafe, you didnât like to lose either.
âWanna just call it, baby doll?â Rafe asks knowing his game was unrecoverable, but if it wasnât in writing, did it actually count? You shake your head ânoâ, tapping your little pencil at the card.
âOne left, baby boy.â Rafe smirks and shakes his head. âA bet?â
âYouâre already gonna win, baby,â he groans.
âJust this hole, Rafe. Winner gets whatever they want in the clubhouse.â
âAlright. Alright. Deal,â he agrees.
To no surprise, you close out the hole with a win. To which Rafe genuinely accepts defeat. The two of you walk up to the clubhouse hand-in-hand, Rafe still waiting for you to call him out on his bullshit from before but you donât. He leads you toward the pro shop as he fishes for his Black Card but you pull him away fast, disappearing into the locker room with him instead, kissing your way into a bathroom stall. He lets out a devilish laugh as you undo his belt with a smile.
âWell shit, baby. What are we doinâ in here?â He whispers against your lips.
âGetting what I want.â

John Daly driving golf cart #69 in PGA events while smoking heaters, slamming M&M's, & beer bonging Diet Cokes looking like if the state of Florida was a person. What a legend.
Hooters, the restaurant chain, sponsors both Daly and his son, who might have even been conceived in one of their locations. Someone at Hooters HQ saw Daly and thought, ""That's the guy. The one who was promised to us, our sweet prince. Look at the leathery skin, the thin glaze on his forehead. That's the key to moving these fried meats."
Fun fact: John Daly has a man cave in a Hooters location in Tampa, Florida, a dedicated room for him to hang out and maybe even conceive more princes of the Hooters kingdom.
Although it's unlikely John Daly will ever die, considering nothing to this point has managed to defeat him. If he does ever cross over the golden bridge to the great beyond (that's presumably built entirely from all the honey BBQ ribs he ate during his life). I hope Hooters honors him properly with a ceremony that sends his breaded body out to sea like a king.

Ok like nobody seems to have noticed but Juliette Blevins has recently put out a case that Great Andamanese might actually have been Austroasiatic all along (to complement Jarawan possibly being an Austronesian relative). There's some stuff that's certainly suggestive, but it'll be a bit more work needed before I'm ready to accept these 32 proposed correspondences as anything more than chance, particularly after the Indo-Vasconic debacle. Still, below the cut I'm going to try and give this a fair review.
All of this is from 'Linguistic clues to Andamanese pre-history: Understanding the North-South divide', in The Language of Hunter Gatherers, edited by Tom GĂźldemann, Patrick McConvell and Richard Rhodes and published in 2020 (a free version of the chapter can be found on Google Scholar).
Looking through the data, it actually seems relatively rigorous as a set of comparisons; she's done a shallow reconstruction of a Proto-Great-Andamanese from wordlists (seemingly a relatively trivial exercise, though with caveats noted below) and is seemingly comparing these to reconstructions from the Mon-Khmer comparative dictionary.
Many of the correspondences are basically identical between the two reconstructions with at most minimal semantic differences, e.g. (in the order PGA~PAA respectively) *buÉ 'clay' ~ *buÉh 'ash, powdery dust'; *muÉn 'pus, dirt' ~ *muÉn 'pimple'; *cuÉr 'current, flow' ~ *cuÉr 'flow, pour'; *cuÉp 'fasten, adjoin' ~ *bcuup/bcuÉp 'adjoin, adhere'. However, I wonder if the Proto-GA reconstructions here have been massaged a bit to fit the Austroasiatic correspondence more closely; in Aka-Kede for example, each of these words shows a different vowel; pua, mine, cor(ie), cup. It's not fatal by any means (in fact if the correspondences could be shown to be more complex than simple identity that would actually help the argument), but definitely annoying.
There's a couple of PGA items which are presented as having a straightforward sound correpondence in PAA where the semantics is close but doesn't quite match, but also alongside a semantic match that differs slightly in sound, e.g. by a slightly different initial consonant, e.g. *raic 'bale out' ~ *raac 'sprinkle' /*saac 'bale out'; *pila 'tusk, tooth' ~ *plaaĘ 'blade'/*mlaĘ 'tusk, ivory'; *luk 'channel' ~ *ru(u)Ĺ 'channel'/*lu(u)k 'have a hole'. I think there's possibly a plausible development here, with perhaps one form taking on the other's semantics because of taboo, or maybe due to an actual semantic shift (she notes that the Andamanese use boar tusks as scrapers, which could explain a 'blade'~'tusk' correspondence in itself).
There's an item which seems dubious on the PAA side, e.g. she proposes a correspondence *wÉt ~ *wÉt for 'bat, flying fox' but I can't find a *wÉt reconstructed anywhere in the MKCD with that meaning, not even in Bahnaric where she claims it comes from (there is a *wÉt reconstructed but with a meaning 'turn, bend'). Meanwhile, *kut 'fishing net' ~ *kuut 'tie, knot' seems wrong at first, as search for *kuut by itself only brings up a reconstruction *kuut 'scrape, scratch', however there is also a reconstruction *[c]kuut which does mean 'tie, knot'.
There's an interesting set of correspondences where PGA has a final schwa that's absent from the proposed PAA cognates, e.g. *lakÉ 'digging stick' ~ *lak 'hoe (v.)'; *ɲipÉ 'sandfly' ~ *jÉÉp 'horsefly'; *loĹÉ 'neck' ~ *tlu(u)Ĺ 'throat'.
More generally, a substantial proportion of the proposed correspondences are nouns in Great Andamanese but verbs/adjective (stative verbs) in Austroasiatic, some of which are above, but also including e.g. *cuiɲ 'odour' ~ *Éhuuɲ/ÉĘuuɲ 'smell, sniff'; *raic 'juice' ~ *raac 'sprinkle' (a separate correspondence to 'bale out' above); *mulÉ 'egg' ~ *muul 'round'; *ciÉp 'belt, band' ~ *cuup/cuÉp/ciÉp 'wear, put on'. This also doesn't seem too much of an issue, given the general word-class flexibility in that part of the world, though there don't seem to be any correspondences going the other way, which could perhaps be a sign of loaning/relexification instead.
I mentioned that a lot of these seem to be exact matches, but of course what you really want to indicate relatedness are non-indentical but regular correspondences, and here is where I can see the issues probably starting to really arise. We've already noted some of the vowel issues, but we also have some messiness with some of the consonants, though at the very least the POA matches pretty much every time (including reasonable caveats like sibilants patterning with palatals and the like). However, that still leaves us with some messes.
The liquids and coronals especially are misaligned a fair bit in ways which could do with more correspondences to flesh out. Here's a list of the correspondences found in initial position in the examples given.
*l ~ *l: *lat ~ *[c]laat 'fear', *lakÉ 'digging stick' ~ *lak 'hoe'
*l ~ *r: *lap ~ *rap 'count' (*luk 'channel' ~ *ru(u)Ĺ 'have a hole'/*lu(u)k 'channel' could be in either of these)
*r ~ *r: *raic 'juice' ~ *raac 'sprinkle'
*r ~ *É: *rok ~ *Éuk 'canoe'
*t ~ *É: *tapÉ 'blind' ~ [É]Éaap 'pass hand along'
*t ~ *t: *ar-tÉm ~ *triÉm 'old' (suggested that metathesis occurred, though to me there probably would need to be some reanalysis as well to make this work)
I invite any of my mutuals more experienced with the comparative method to have a look for yourselves and see what you make of the proposal as it currently stands. It would certainly be an interesting development if more actual correspondences could be set up, though I do have to wonder if more work would also be needed on Austroasiatic to double-check these reconstructions as well.
