Things You Can Do (Sometimes Twice) In 4:10

Nice work by the Morning Drive team of Kevin Schultz, Jonathan Burket and Kevin Ryan to come up with this graphic that I Tweeted early this morning and is making the rounds.

It is rather amazing to think that Kentucky's finest golfer took almost two Kentucky Derbys to hit that all-that-for-that lay-up, as Dottie Pepper noted.

Secretariat thinks Always Dreaming's time is pathetic.

I think that Justin Thomas is probably the finest KY golfer at the moment......
Other than that....spot on.

Brilliant!! An athlete can run 4 laps faster than it took a tour pro to hit 1 shot. Priceless!!

Oh Hell... That soccer hat trick is pathetic:

The fastest hat-trick scored by an individual ice hockey player in a National Hockey League game is 21 seconds by Bill Mosienko (Canada) playing for the Chicago Blackhawks against the New York Rangers on 23 March 1952.

JB Holmes has joined Bubba Watson on transforming from a once Good-ol-boy image to now one closer to a finicky prissy boy image.

At four minutes a shot, shooting sub par, JB Holmes would take over four and a half hours to play 18. As a single.

Ummm...

Matthew, you're forgetting the 2-3 hours it takes the pros to walk from shot to shot.

@kenoneputt.

You're forgetting that the clock stops between goals in the NHL. And celebrations are much more muted. And of course that the field of play is a fifth of the size. And hockey has more than twice the amount of goals scored as soccer.

But both are incredible feats!

Golf Channel trifecta of Evans, Hawk and Slick doing a masterful job of backpedaling on this issue. Slick cited 3 PAC members saying the situation was an outlier that regular folks just are not capable of understanding, no harm, no foul. I tend to think they have a point.

@KS...

Was wondering how long it was gonna take before one of us miscreants came up with that one.... : )

Secretariat, 1:59.4. There's the list.

[CroDad]

And (if possible) what makes that time of Secretariat's even more impressive is that each quarter mile he ran was faster than the preceding quarter mile.

Geoff-

has the issue of JB's brain surgry been explored? Is his thinking slowed down because of that?
I don't recall how fast or slow he was before the surgery. Please respond. i think it could ''matter' (get it)... ~dig~
