The USGA flags are flying again in Southern California. After last summer's US Women's Amateur at Bel-Air, the USGA has returned to LA to conduct the US Girls' Junior Championship at El Caballero CC. There is a tremendous amount of young talent on display, including Asterisk Talley from Central California who at age 15 contended in this year's US Women's Open and finished tied for low amateur (and is pictured below). After 2 days of stroke play, Asterisk and 63 other competitors qualified for match play which starts at 8am Wednesday morning. Come out to El Cab this week if you want to see the future stars of the game. #USGA #GolfStarsofTomorrow

🎾✨ Witness the Evolution of Tennis! From the 14th-century aristocrats to futuristic athletes, tennis has been a game of constant innovation (including a patent signed by Queen Victoria). Early wooden balls evolved into rubber balls with new material discoveries in 19th century, these in-turn evolved into white bouncy tennis balls of early 20th century, and in a pivotal moment influenced by no other than David Attenborough, the switch to yellow balls was due to the enhanced visibility for color TV audiences in the 1970s. These are only some of the changes that underscore how advancements in one field can significantly impact another. As the world enjoys Wimbledon, reflecting on the rich history of patents and breakthroughs in the game of tennis, let's ponder: How will today's technological advances shape the future of sports?

Written from the heart of a pastor/teacher. If you have 15 minutes and are brave enough to do so, please take a moment to read, grow in your education, and then consider how to respond in Christlikeness.
The 2024 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony offered some pretty alarming scenes, many of which have been met with strong opinions from Christians and non-Christians alike. But how does the Church respond? How do we continue to persevere under such continued pressure against our faith and morals? This apology offers an educated examination of the ceremony as well as an argument against its content and how the Church should faithfully respond.

I believe you’ll find this paper as intriguing as I did. Published in one of the most prestigious medical journals, Nature, under the title “Red enhances human performance in contests,” the article suggests that the color red can positively impact competitive sports. 👇 👇 👇 https://lnkd.in/dBvZMkRq

Did you know that tug of war was once an Olympic sport? It featured in the Summer Olympics from 1900 to 1920. Interestingly, countries could enter multiple teams in the competition, allowing them to sweep the podium. In 1904, the United States achieved this feat, winning all three medals, and in 1908, British teams took all the top spots. Curious about other sports no longer included in the Olympic games?
