Six weeks out from Goodboys Invitational weekend, and I’m off to the range for a bucket, perhaps two, of balls. But before I do, here are some links worth checking out.

Big congrats to American Pharaoh, the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed back in 1978. Thirty-seven years. Wow. It wasn’t what I would exactly call a very exciting race – you’d think they could fill out a Triple Crown race field a little better – but a mile and a half makes for a long track.

Maybe after this ballparks will consider netting for the lower stands. It never made sense to me that you couldn’t have some netting draped from the upper stands all the way around from at least first base to third base. having netting in front of them certainly doesn’t bother the folks who sit behind home plate – those are the best seat in all of baseball – and while it might not be as aesthetically pleasing, it’s better than balls and bats flying unimpeded into the stands.

Check out the documentary about D-Day here. Boy, that was back when men were men. Nowadays you’d have the Obama military demanding bright-colored landing craft for the transgender and gay soldiers to show the Nazis just how much we celebrate diversity.

When you’ve got a golfer saying this:

“Just because I’m in last place doesn’t change how I play golf. Whether it’s the first day or last day doesn’t matter, play all out.”

…you know that’s not a good place to be in. Unfortunately, that’s the new norm for Tiger Woods.
