Who Wins From Here

This is one wacky AFL season.

The Dogs beating the Swans today means Sydney have lost 4 of their last 5.

Sydney have gone from clear premiership favourites to a team out of form and looking gettable.

There's some vibes of the 2016 Dogs that seem to be building. They're a good team and because the season is so open it's possible the premier emerges out of the top 4.

Hawthorn is another one that has come from nowhere. They might win a big final. It's not unrealistic to now say they're a big chance to win the GF.

Anything could happen from this point on.

Not A Scratch Golfer#youtube.com

Always enjoy watching this guys content. It's a realistic look at what most golf looks like. Some thinking around shots and club choices depending on conditions is nice to learn from.

The amount of "bad shots" a 7 handicap plays in a full 18 hole round is pretty interesting too.

Some Potential Games

A couple of games that might be worth checking out that I can play on my Mac are: The Witness and Firewatch.

The Open 2024#youtube.com

What an awesome tournament and winner. Winning two majors in a year is an incredible achievement for Xander.

I just love watching The Open for a few reasons, namely:

  • The timezone from the UK to Australia works well since they tee off early morning, I can actually watch most of the round before sleeping
  • The links courses they play on remind me of Australia, the wind and undulating terrain is so different from the US courses, honestly most of the US courses are a little boring compared to what exists in other parts of the world
  • It's awesome seeing players struggling in the conditions and actually fighting for par, it's not just a birdie fest, a winning score of ~10 under is a good indication of the right kind of challenge
