showmethesnow Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Dropped a heavy board on my foot early this morning and me like a fool kept working through the pain for another 5 hours. Finally pulled my foot out of the shoe and now have it iced up as it ballooned quite significantly. At least it looks as if I didn't break anything, it's just painful as crap.

mattie g Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I thought the original post about it was a division sign, not square root. Wouldn't have mattered anyways, as I haven't solved math equations since I took the GRE many moons ago. Glad I don't have to do it anymore!

yoda Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 18 hours ago, WinterWxLuvr said: In case any were curious to see it solved Or... you just do it all in your head Start out using 36 as x and you get square root of 51 + square root of 36. You quickly realize that the square root of 51 is not a whole number, so it can be tossed, and you also realize the number has to be greater than 6 squared (aka 36)... Then plug in the next number 7 (aka 49) and boom, there is your answer because 49 + 15 = 64, which is 8 (square root of 64) and adding that to the square root of 49 (which is 7) and you get 7 + 8 = 15. Done lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Is anyone else watching Jordan Spieth's press conference after winning today? I can't come up with the adjectives describing how impressed I am with his humility, composure, honesty... I don't know anything of him other than what I have seen and heard of him today, but what a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've been more impressed with any sports figure in how they handle themselves than I am with Spieth. And he's only 23. I'm a really big fan of his, and hope he goes on to really press Jack's majors record..and Tiger's non-majors record, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tee shot on 13 was the first time I could say "Hey I can do that!" and MEAN it when it comes to a pro golfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spite of some really chaotic and pivotal moments yesterday (did you see him stop his backswing?), he never once lost his cool. Well, at least it not while being on camera. And it was really funny when the camera caught him nut-slap his buddy in the scorer's tent. http://www.barstoolsports.com/iowa/spieth-dick-taps-his-caddy-michael-greller-after-winning/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan does have a ton of composure. You can see that he has a tendency to rush things when he gets frustrated, but that he was able to recover from that wayward drive on 13, then go a ridiculous run to put the tournament away was incredibly impressive. The mental toughness to do that is immense. I honestly think he could be flirting with double-digit majors by the time he's 28 or 29, even with the incredible talent up and down the Tour right now. He's just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
