Wow, I just found this thing called the Inter Webs, cool search capability ... It revealed the following:
Overall, changes to the MLDA affected alcohol-related crashes by 10% to 16%, with crashes decreasing when the MLDA was raised, and increasing when it was lowered. Wagenaar and Toomey (2002) reviewed 79 high-quality studies examining the relationship between the MLDA and crashes. Of these studies, 58% found fewer crashes associated with a higher MLDA, whereas none found fewer crashes associated with a lower MLDA.

I would equate this to education more than raising the age.
Just like fewer people smoke now because they know how bad it is for you. And the whole Uber on demand thing

And adulthood in my case...shot a 112 at Holiday Valley on Saturday. I blame the hail instead of the draaaanks though.

You and I should team up lol.

You got that sand trap finder too huh?

I just could not hit off the tee at all. More slices than La Nova this weekend. Gotta start hitting the range again. Bobolinks is calling me.

Education and Uber are huge .. I have seen my kids use Uber when our with the crowd drinking and what not.. .that is a great solution. Bon-rhe-less, legal penalties for 18-21 can't be discounted, research shows it has been impactful.

I am not a good golpher as I don't take the game seriously and have a flawed swing I'm unwilling to spend the time, energy and money to fix for the amount of time I play.
I will say I played 2 summers ago with a guy who plays in a league and plays a couple of times a week. Blew his doors off that day as my drives, while not long were very straight on on-line with where I was trying to hit to.. then my short game was sensational... Again, that day. That was the last time I played

you can vote
you can serve your country
you can be forced to do jury duty
you can buy a house
you can file for bankruptcy
you can work at a bar and serve drinks
you can drive a semi
you can buy porn
you can buy fireworks
you can bet the horses
you can get married
you can adopt a kid
you can legally buy dope in many states with a physician's recommendation.

Are you suggesting we raise the age on those things too?

Sounds like you're short changing yourself my friend! I wish I could consistently hit it straight lol, flawed swing or not, it's all about where it lands to me.

Sounds like Uncle ion and I play old man golf to some degree

I try at hit the ball straight and not worry too much about the distance.

Flawed swing , but keep it in play and try not to lose balls or hit off the fairway

Yup, pretty accurate description for me too Boss. Some days not too successful though, lol.

It’s not about hitting it straight

it’s about learning how far left of the pin to aim for
Let that slice work for you lol

After watching that game yesterday, how are we feeling about Thursday's game against the Fish?

I am not feeling very confident at all. Miami's strength on Offense plays directly into our weakness on Defense with those two Burners in Hill and Waddle while Tua gets the ball out fast helping to negate a pass rush.

Josh may need to "pick up his game" lol, but seriously I think they need another superhuman performance from him.

Several years back I did learn how to hit a bit of a draw for awhile.. it has since left me... But man, what a nice change that was with much more distance.
It seems like on a good day, 2 parts of the game is working for me, never all three though, lol... And they seem to rotate which further confounds me!

Watch out! Be shooting yourself with a Tranquilizer gun in the Neck next!

Not having Taron hurts. I think they may use Jonnu Smith against us to some affect. That being said, it'll be another track meet. It'll come down to final drives IMO. Dolphins D can't stop us, doubt ours can stop them. Is it fair to say a turnover could decide the game?

We thought the same thing last year when we played them fresh off there 70 point game. We embarrassed them.

But am worried. Defense looked like there could not communicate yesterday. Did it look like Mcdermutt started calling in some plays at end of game….🤔

Tyler Rapp and Dorian Williams need to up there games. They were horrible in Coverage.

Could very well be for sure.
I'd like to see the Dline create some havoc and force Tua into bad throws.. but that reyirea the DBacks to hold containment for a bit

Ya, it wasn't great. Milano hurts big time as he is so versatile.

At least he doesn't have the scramble abilities of Murray. While he does get the ball out quickly, you don't have to spy him and still cross fingers. That should help as we can rush the spy to get faster pressure periodically.

I'm still worried about not having Taron. It would be nice if Bishop draws back in, really thought he was a good pick but need to see it. Anyone think Cam Lewis deserves more time moving forward? He played a hell of a game I thought, especially for coming off the bench cold in a season opener.

Hard to believe Lewis has been here 6 years know. Him and Ingram are gonna need to step up.
