So Brooks Koepka is a captain's pick for the US Ryder Cup team. That must have taken some spine. I notice pgatour.com still avoids mentioning LIV like Superman avoids kryptonite. The Euros haven't finalized their 12-man roster yet, so that list isn't available. https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/l...

Can you elaborate on how global warming helps on this as opposed to technological advances? Simple, overall there is less unusable land being covered by permafrost or glacier. By extension, that will include land that previously couldn't be used to build golf courses. As far as golf courses are conc...

Actually, despite the current population of Earth, only a small portion of available land is occupied by humans. There are various estimates, but somewhere between 10% and 15% seems in the ballpark.

I know that in the big picture it's not the most important issue but Whistler is still safe...let's put it this way-if Whistler is in trouble so is Vancouver.

To me, it was screwed when they stopped playing the Royal Montreal Blue course. Even the players said they preferred it.

I lucked out, courtesy of my then wife working at home as a programmer/systems analyst, and had the use of a USRobotics 14.4kbps modem (with the "best lights", round or square, I forget which now). Using Telix zmodem, it took "only" a couple of hours to send the less than 2MB Doo...
