The Thang:

Since the Masters starts today, YHC decided to do a Masters themed workout.  PAX counted off 1 2 3 4 to break into 4-somes, except YHC was quickly reminded we now had 4 threesomes… oh well.  Each 3-some had 1 PAX putt to get ‘closest to the pin’ (aka The Rig) to determine order of questions for team trivia.  PAX then Native American ran to the bottom of Bill the Hill to start the workout.

PAX would do a series of 18 exercises, at 3 locations, with each team rotating who answered for trivia.  Right answer: all PAX 18 reps. wrong answer: all PAX 36 reps.

Below are the Q&A, with the answers in bold [exercise].  YHC can’t remember all incorrect guesses, but it was a good mix of correct & incorrect.

CoT:

Let Gronkins know if you can come to Intown food pantry next Saturday.

Closed with quote from Nick Saban on golf: “Well, I hit a great drive, but it doesn’t matter. It’s only the next shot that matters. You could hit that in the water, which means now you have to overcome adversity. You put yourself in a hole and it’s, “Can I get up and down and still make bogey?” But that’s how life is. Sometimes you don’t control it. You don’t control the negative things that happen. But you still have to overcome them. You still have to manage it. You still have to react the right way. It’s not the problem. It’s how you respond to the problem that is the key to the drill. You’ve got to keep harping on this stuff all the time.”

So basically, no matter if you hit a good shot or a bad shot… you still have to hit the next one. good life analogy.  YHC brought homemade smoked pimento cheese & crackers to share!  Smalls brought coffee!

Naked Man Moleskin:

YHC wanted a day without coupons, burpees, or bear crawls because we’ve had a lot recently.  And themed workouts are fun, like putt putt.  Fore!
