Golf should only be played in Scotland and should only be played while wearing tweed. Why are you dressed in pepto bismol and baby puke green walking around Arizona playing a sport designed for a fucking bog

it's always funny to me when guys post the staged group photo of buddies playing golf and they're all leaning on their clubs like they're roaring 20s gangsters because there is not a softer activity in the world than playing golf

AUSPICES by Anthony Hecht

Cold, blustery cider weather, the flat fields
Bleached pale as straw, the leaves, such as remain,
Pumpkin or leather-brown. These are the wilds
Of loneliness, huge, vacant, sour and plain.

The sky is hourless dusk, portending rain.
Or perhaps snow. This narrow footpath edges
A small stand of scrub pine, warped as with pain,
And baneberry lofts its little poisoned pledges.

The footpath ends in a dried waterhole,
Plastered with black like old tar-paper siding.
The fearfullest desolations of the soul
Image themselves as local and abiding.

Even if I should get away from here
My trouser legs are stuck with burrs and seeds,
Grappled and spiked reminders of my fear,
Standing alone among the beggarweeds.

Universe was probably trying to tell me something when the power went out as I was reading this poem

Instagram is insistent that I request to follow a woman I went on 2 bumble dates with 6 years ago and Google Photos is always trying to show me pictures of my ex and I think these are good examples of why the algorithms should not be in charge of all human society

Started my fantasy basketball season 2-2 and then won 14 in a row to close the regular season. Can't believe my league let me draft Shai for only 39% of my budget
