     BPH is not something to ignore. I have two friends that ignored the problem and ended up in an emergency room because they couldn’t pee, and ended up with a catheter shoved up their Johnson for TWO MONTHS until a surgeon could get them in for surgery. 

    There are multiple treatment options for BPH depending upon how serious the symptoms and how the blockage is occurring. TURP is historically the most common treatment but HoLep laser is a new treatment that is getting very positive reviews for multiple reasons. 

    A good urologist will stick a camera up your Johnson to see how the blockage is occurring. There is a chance you could do what’s called a partial TURP, which doesn’t cut away as much material as a full TURP. There potentially wouldn’t be retrograde e in that scenario.This could be a good option. Less material. Less risk.   

    If a full material removal is required and it were me, I would do HoLep first, Aquablation maybe as a second choice, TURP third. Aquablation also has a low chance of retro e. I wouldn’t look at Rezum or other procedures because those haven’t gotten very good reviews. 

    HoLep, TURP, and Aquablation have very low odds of incontinence or ed. 

    Nov 2021 TURP recipient here. Mine was not cancer related, but rather blockage of the bladder that was diagnosed the day that I could no longer pee.  My 2 best days that year were the day I got my catheter, and the days I no longer needed it. Mine was a partial TURP, I no longer take FloMax after the TURP (well really once I had a catheter buddy), but a mentioned there are meds to help set time, if needed.

  2. guess who is tied for the lead at SIlverado, 9 holes to play for the leaders.....this golf thing is like robbing the bank for Scottie, or owning the mint and printing your own money. Ted Scott moving to his bag is the best business ever made on the PGA tour. 

  3. JT showing he is ready for the Ryder Cup - makes the cut and competing for DFL for those playing the weekend, right now +6 today thru 14 hoping he breaks 80. Who do you think will have to carry him as a teammate on foursomes and/or four balls?

    MDA sent me a list to go through 

    The sky bridge is impressive

    We are back there next week. 

    I love walking the skybridge (and riding the golf carts Mrs Fairway); if you go to the Rotary House gift shop, 2nd or 3rd floor, they have a selection of Antone's Po-Boy's, and a separate location has a nice make your own salad bar, May's building cafeteria usually has some good selections but closes early, nice outside rooftop garden at May's building for late Oct-March. 
    Cool artwork on display for Halloween and Christmas. The Zoo is nearby, best attraction is the aquarium.

    Best of luck to you MIA

    Francesco Molinari outlines Europe’s plans to tame Ryder Cup crowd

    By Josh Lees

    Francesco Molinari will once again be involved in the European Ryder Cup setup as a vice-captain, and the team have already been putting in the work to prepare for the US crowd at Bethpage Black.

    Much has been said about the backing that will be behind Keegan Bradley’s American team in New York.

    The Europeans have been warned on numerous occasions over what reception they could receive when the action gets underway later this month.

    An away Ryder Cup is one of the toughest tasks in golf, and things are expected to be much harder for the visitors this time around.

    Amid all the noise in the build-up, the European team have been putting in the work behind closed doors to ensure they are able to deal with anything thrown their way.

    Eleven of the 12 European players are in action at the BMW PGA Championship this week, as is captain Luke Donald and his assistant Molinari.

    Speaking to bunkered.co.uk at Wentworth about the prospect of the New York crowd later, the Italian vice-captain told bunkered.co.uk: “We are very aware.

    “It has been one of the main points of the preparation.” During this prep, Molinari revealed Donald and Co have reached out to experts from other sports on how best to deal with hostile fandom.

    “[We’ve been] talking to people outside of golf to see how they manage the crowd in other sports,” the former Open champion added.

    “But it is an experienced team, we all know what is waiting for us and we need to show up and perform.”

    Molinari is no stranger to succeeding in an away Ryder Cup, having played his part in Europe’s ‘Miracle at Medinah’ 13 years ago.

    It is the only Ryder Cup that has gone the way of the away team in the last nine editions of the event, and Molinari is not the only member of the current cohort who played his part in the historic victory.

    Skipper Donald starred in Illinois as a player, while Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose also featured alongside the Englishman and Molinari.

    They were led by Jose Maria Olazabal in 2012, another one of Donald’s returning assistants this time around.

    Molinari believes this experience within the locker room will prove key in their bid to recreate history at Bethpage.

    “Luke was there, Justin was there, Rory was there,” he commented. A core group from Medinah, we have Olazabal as well who will bring his experience…

    “For sure that experience helps. It also good to have guys that have played in the US even without being successful, we will know what to expect.”

    Despite not having home advantage the Europeans have plenty in their arsenal in their bid to defend the crown they won so convincingly at Marco Simone.

    One key component of the team is Molinari’s brother Edoardo, who has prevailed as Donald’s secret weapon in recent years.

    Edoardo has balance the latter stages of his career with working intently in golf statistics and data, and the Europeans have used this to their advantage.

    There have been many special moments between the Molinaris throughout their careers, and working together in the Euro camp as part of Donald’s team has been another.

    “It is a pleasure and honour to do [the job] with the team, especially with my brother,” Francesco explained. “It is definitely special. We were lucky to play our first one together, who could have said when we were kids that we would be here right now.”

    Despite their brotherly bond, the Italians seemingly have different roles in the team. I think we are quite complimentary. I am not good with numbers,” he joked. “I try to bring something different.”

     

    I can tell you how they tamed the crowds at Oakland Hills in 2004, I went on Tuesday practice & Friday comp rounds. There was a "strict" no signature policy in place on Tuesday and the US team followed it strictly, they hardly acknowledged the fans, on the other hand the Euro's brought sharpies with them and went up to the crowd (mainly between greens and tees) and signed hats, tickets, etc and chatted up the fans. And I can tell you that this went a long way for those who were there to not make it a hostile environment. Poulter was one of them actively signing, and I will admit that I only booed him a couple of times, instead of before and after every shot.

  6. Michigan is highly rated because they have a great promotion machine, they were great at the turn of the century (the one 125 years ago), they played a weak OOC schedule for years, have an iconic helment that their fans think they invented, their "best" coach in any of our lifetimes (except maybe ArmyBrat) never won a natty and had a terrible bowl record. Harbaugh was mediocre at best, one game away from being fired before they started to cheat - - - but they won that natty so they are good to be highly rated until 2120. Because that is how college ball is done.

    Go Green!

    US dominates GB&I in the Walker Cup 17-9. Still a good watch as it was played at Cypress Point. 

    Had I paid attention, I might have bought tickets and gone.....because that is the only way I am going to get onto Cypress Point.

    Look at the rug in this guy’s office. He’s probably Sardo Numspa and will pray to his satanic overlord that he’s helping the “ripper” get away with shit for the greater evil by pretending as though none of these crimes are connected. And if you caught the Sardo reference you’re safe. One time get out of the lake…I mean out of jail free card for life courtesy of me. Just like my post so I can make sure you’re on my safe list 😂
