Peter Oosterhuis, noted player and broadcaster, dies at 75
By John Strege
May 02, 2024

Peter Oosterhuis had a memorable career—three of them in fact—the sum of which echoed a movie title, a wonderful life until it slowly was eroded by an insidious disease. Oosterhuis died Thursday, one day shy of his 76th birthday and 10 years after having been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease.

Oosty, as he was frequently and affectionately called, won tournaments all over the world. His lone PGA Tour victory in 343 official starts came in the Canadian Open in 1981, where he beat Jack Nicklaus, Bruce Lietzke and Andy North by a stroke.  ...  He also won seven European Tour events. Meanwhile, he tied for third in the 1973 Masters, finished second in the British Open the following year, tied for second in the British Open in 1982, and had two top-10s in the U.S. Open (1975 and 1977). ...

He was a fixture for CBS Sports golf telecasts for the following 17-plus years, even occupying the analyst’s chair next to Nantz when Ken Venturi began to scale back the number of tournaments he worked. Then came the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville.  ...

Impressive Crowd.  Running against the worst POTUS in US history will do that.

I am quite certain that NY and NYC engage in the same short of "data quality issues" as well.

I'm sure other ultra-Blue states have done similarly. They've just hidden it better.

Has there ever been a hurricane season, since reasonably complete records began, when Florida was not "hit" by a hurricane?

There's a huge difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane. 

I looked up the stats; Since 1851 only eighteen hurricane seasons passed without a known storm impacting the state. Florida has gone 10 years without a hurricane hitting the state.

The three areas/cities of FL that are more prone to hurricanes are; 1) Miami, 2) Key West, 3) Tampa

The LCS worked as intended, to be money pits with limited or no usefulness.

From the article…..

former centrist Democrat turned independent Tulsi Gabbard



She may be an independent. But in no universe was she a centrist Democrat.

I'm afraid the Democrats are so enthralled to their hard left that, yes, actually Gabbard was a centrist Democrat.

If used on LIEden speeches, he would clog the gnat-strainer used for Trump speeches.
