Swing for One Million Dollars Comment Count

Golf is complicated. I used to play all the time because my apartment was on a course and it was an excuse to hang out with certain buddies. But I never got past a level where anyone you golf with thinks it's their duty to correct every muscle twitch in your swing.

You start by having your body perfectly balanced: hips back, torso forward, knees bent, so you don't have re-balance to move. Then you push back, and angle down, checking to make sure the arch of your back is in line with your kneecap and the ball of your foot. Push your hips back, angle your spine toward the ball, flex your knees slightly, check your posture, and set your right side lower than your left so that the ball is in line with the left side of your face and the clubface is facing the target. Start your swing with clubhead first, then hands, arms, shoulders, hips, and shift your weight as your swing comes across your knees, keeping your wrists…

[So a five iron does sink. Good to know.]

Playing to that point did give me quite an appreciation for the guys who do it well. The pros may not move at the speed of Denard, but encoding all of that stuff into perfect muscle memory is absolutely an athletic skill. So I watch the majors, if not with the same gusto as football/hockey—more like the peaceful appreciation I have for baseball.

Also because there's $3 million on the line.

Our fantasy partner Draft Kings is having their biggest game yet to coincide with this week's golf tournament. THREE MILLION DOLLARS will be in the pool. The winner takes home $1 million. And the best part: you don't have to know how to swing a golf club; just know who does it well.

Details:

  • $3,000,000 prize pool.
  • First place wins $1,000,000
  • Enter for $20
  • Top ​37,676 win money
  • Starts on Thursday, July 16th
  • Salary Cap Style Drafting. $50,000 to select 6 golfers

If you did the Draft Kings deal for your copy of HTTV, you should have nearly enough deposited to get in. If you haven't, start a gotdang account already!

the blog pushing a vice on people lol. I'd rather not try online gambling or shooting heroin. Just me. I'm not offended as much as I think it's WAY WORSE than many things banned here. C'mon guys, you most likely won't lose everything and need help in a few years!

I'll be back in Michigan in a few weeks for a quick vacation. I have a dormant bank account there that I have not used in years. I love sports, am irrationally exuberant about my favorite athletes and teams, manage our finances solo and loathe my current state of indebtedness....what could possibly go wrong?...hmm

It's ironic that here in Hawaii all forms of gambling are illegal, but my Draft Kings account is perfectly fine. However, when I was sitting in Phoenix International Airport on a layover I couldn't access my account to create or change any teams. Just a little heads up for anyone planning on traveling through any of the five outlawed states: make sure you have all of your rosters set and ready before you cross that state line!
