This Is Golf

All about golf

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer.

Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins, on top of that, the winner buys the drinks.
Golf is harder than baseball. In Golf, you have to play your foul balls.

If you find you do not mind playing Golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here’s a valuable tip …your life is in trouble.

Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot.

A ‘gimme’ can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers …neither of whom can putt very well.

An interesting thing about Golf is that no matter how badly you play, it is always possible to get worse.

Golf’s a hard game to figure. One day you’ll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.

If your best shots are the practice swing and the ‘gimme putt’, you might wish to reconsider this game.

Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.

Golf is like marriage, If you take yourself too seriously it won’t work, and both are expensive.

The best wood in most amateurs’ bags is the pencil.

I Need To Start Saving Up For This

Leak reveals Audi RS4 Avant and RS5 Coupe have even more power than Porsche Panamera 4S

On the new Audi RS4 Avant and the RS5 Coupe, meanwhile, this V6 engine will be tuned to provide more power, specifically generating up to 450 hp (335 kW) of output and 600 Nm (442 lb.-ft.) of peak torque. As revealed by the leaked slideshow, the V6-powered Audi RS4 Avant and the RS5 Coupe would be able to dash from nil to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than four seconds and achieve an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

This means that while the RS4 Avant and the RS5 Coupe are quicker on the sprint, the Porsche Panamera 4S would be able to catch up and outrun both Audi RS models. Speed demons could avail of the optional dynamic package to hike the speed cap to 280 km/h (174 mph).

Meanwhile, the slideshow also revealed when Audi Sport is planning to commence production of these new RS models. According to this presentation, Audi will start building the RS5 Coupe in June 2017 and the RS4 Avant in December 2017. Motor1’s source disclosed that the RS5 Coupe is now production-ready and the RS4 Avant is now at the last phase of development.

And They're All Really Sound Reasons

5 Reasons Why You Can't Put An F1 Engine In A Road Car

It would be an incredible feat of engineering to shoehorn an F1 engine into a road car, but the logistics behind this form of engine swap just wouldn't match up
  1. They are notoriously difficult to start
  2. They're not cheap
  3. Cooling
  4. That fuel bill though
  5. The lifespan is tiny

This Better Be Worth The Price Of Admission

World's Priciest Steak Costs More Than Your Mortgage


It's been aged for 15 years.

A 2000 vintage usually refers to a pricey bottle of wine, but in this case, it's a slab o' beef: Meat specialist Alexandre Polmard hawks steaks that hail from a couture brand of cattle known as Blonde Aquitaine, and slaughters just four cows a week. (Said cows may or may not enjoy daily massages, psychotherapy, and personal Netflix accounts.) The resulting steaks undergo a high-tech, proprietary aging process known as "hibernation," in which meat is held at sub-zero temperatures while air is blown across its surface at speeds of nearly 75 miles per hour.

The result? A 15-year aged cote de boeuf that costs a whopping $3,200. If you can't forego a couple mortgage payments in order to sample this delicacy, fret not: Just get yourself a plane ticket to Hong Kong, where diners at the two Michelin star Caprice can savor a few bites of the precious protein as part of a $700 lunch tasting menu — a relative bargain, surely. And if you're feeling extra saucy, the steak would probably pair well with the world's most expensive bottle of wine, a Château Margaux 2009 priced at $195,000.
