On the golf course, if you can "outwalk" your opponent, it doesn't necessarily factor into your score. <br /><br />Though, with how much professional golfers train nowadays, that thinking is probably in error. I heard Tiger maxes out 350 pounds on the bench, which is very impressive. The fact that he's a specimen no doubt intimidates his opponents and helps elevate his game even further, probably. Stronger the body, stronger the mind sort of thing.Brian O'Rourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372815069471434698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723168018243827797.post-7409782252617354472009-06-19T11:24:58.283-04:002009-06-19T11:24:58.283-04:00I actually think I agree with Jack Nicklaus who te...I actually think I agree with Jack Nicklaus who testified for the PGA. Walking the course is part of the game, he said. It fatigues you. Ali used to train by running golf courses and if you have to play four rounds thats a lot of walking esp on a links course. <br /><br />In life but not always law there's usually a compromise. Why didnt he offer to "walk the course" in a wheel chair. No one could have complained that he wasnt getting fatigued then. I think that would have been a more elegant solution. <br /><br />I wonder what Clarence Thomas's powerful dissent was in that case?adrian mckintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349942973907386269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723168018243827797.post-83547729472338270342009-06-19T06:51:36.449-04:002009-06-19T06:51:36.449-04:00Adrian,

Though reading more of the opinion, it does seem a bit odd that Title III would apply to these circumstances. But maybe that's why I'm not arguing in front of the Supreme Court on a regular basis. <br /><br />The wife would probably be better able to explain this than me.

I suppose if you follow Scalia's logic though the SC cant legislate anything relating to planes, automobiles, the internet etc. etc. because none of those things could possibly have been in the framers minds. Its funny but its not a good argument.adrian mckintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349942973907386269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723168018243827797.post-59975203855047599902009-06-18T06:40:41.489-04:002009-06-18T06:40:41.489-04:00Adrian,
