I’m 43 and have been cutting my own hair ever since Covid. Looking to mix it up with a low taper fade. Not like the alpaca teenager look, nor a buzz cut fade, but something I could wear in a professional setting.

Any suggestions on a shop near north shore of Milwaukee?

For reference, something like this

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions here but

"lowwwww taperrrr faaaaaaaaaaaaaade"

Good finish for the US. If Justin Thomas is doing anything other than carrying a water bottle this afternoon I'm going to be disappointed.

He's the third match this afternoon. Paired with Young against Adberg and Hojgaard. Schleffer, Bryson and Cantlay going again.

I was watching "Stick to Football" from the Overlap podcast series featuring five former professional soccer players - Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Roy Keane, and Ian Wright. It's usually a really good discussion about what's going on in the world of soccer (especially Premier League, Champions League, Euros, and World Cup). Again, the quality of top-level punditry abroad is miles above our own here.

Anyway, they finished the latest episode by having a discussion trying to rank these top sporting events. Their consensus ranking:

1. World Cup Final
2. Super Bowl
3. Ryder Cup
4. The Ashes (had to look this one up - it's a biannual cricket match between England and Australia)
5. Tour de France

Ian Wright made an impassioned argument that Ryder Cup was #1, which blew my mind as I never considered that among the top sporting events. I was also surprised that the Super Bowl was 2 among a bunch of Brits.

World Cup Final is definitely 1 in my book.

[MickeyDavis]

Scheffler can't make a putt. No birdies this afternoon through 10.

Ryder Cup's are wild. The afternoon crowd today is rowdy as expected. I didn't go in 2021 when it was at Whistling Straights. I went to the PGA championship there in 2015 but while the setting on the lake is beautiful, lynx courses aren't great for spectators.

[Ryan5UW]

Well, I was definitely wrong about JT. So, let's try this - if Scheffler isn't on the sidelines tomorrow...

Unexpected career update. So I told you all I quit my job back in June and just kind of expected to stay home. Well I got a call a few weeks ago, number I recognized but couldn’t really put my finger on, so I answered. It was the daycare my kids went to and they needed help and heard I had left so they kind of took their shot and I said yes and now I’m with a bunch of 2 year olds.

[MickeyDavis]

Rory blows a putt that would have won a hole. Cantlay does the same

[ReginaldDwight]

Bradley is looking like a whiff as captain. Rolling the same foursomes out tomorrow basically is crazy work.

I honestly didn't know people cared about the Ryder Cup that much. But at the same time, it's ranked over biking and something I've never heard of. So is it actually that cared-for, or is it just a narrow list?

ETA: I enjoy golf, to be clear. But I've never really gotten into Ryder Cup. Same goes for Laver Cup.

[MickeyDavis]

Personal taste of course but I'd rank the Ryder Cup well ahead of the Tour. It's too bad it's in September, up against football.

Young is replacing JT but the rest are the same in the morning. I guess he could shuffle them up but I don't think that really matters. The afternoon pairings haven't been announced.

[ReginaldDwight]

feel like if it was close you can roll it mostly the same but they got worked.

[MickeyDavis]

Euros are making great shot after great shot. I don't think shuffling up the US pairs would have made much of a difference this morning.

[ReasonablySober]

I've been into the Ryder Cup in the past, but that was about 20 years ago. Not really into anyone on the Americans side and the lousy behavior of the fans at Bethpage have me apathetic at best and quasi rooting for the Europeans at worst.

Yeah you haven't watched much Ryder Cup for awhile. The fans this year are very tame compared to fans in Europe. Probably because of the poor US play. Rowdy crowds are always a big part of the Cup. Not this year. Maybe if the US does something this afternoon.

[trwi7]

Rowdy crowds. Do they clap at 40 decibels instead of 30?

[MickeyDavis]

The announcer just said it feels like a library lol
