... the RSS feed is working again? There are entries from Feb 5, 2021

It's been working for about a week.

Cool. I was getting tired of seeing how great Jordan Spieth was playing... although I hope he does get things together and have a nice comeback. He seems to be having Ian Baker-Finch problems off the tee... which IBF never recovered from and went into broadcasting... because as you know broadcasters with Aussie or English accents add class to the game.

I'm surprised the tour hasn't taken a hit for not having black, hispanic or asian announcers or color commentators. All those are well represented on the tour these days. Nota Begay is asian but has lived in America all his life I believe.

I broadcast every round I play. I have to admit, it gets old saying, "300 yards... gotta about a 7 iron" or "He's gotta be happy with that" or "It's in the hole"... so much... It must really be boring for Higgi.

Oh, and when he's on Mike Tirico is about the smoothest, most versatile broadcaster around. I couldn't believe it I heard him do a hockey broadcast the other night and he was terrific at that too.

Hey! Maybe restarting the RSS feed restarted Jordan Speith? He's having his best tourney in a long, long time this week.

I'm pretty sure Nota Begay is Native American, Doug.

My bad. I like his soft voice and technical knowledge.

And RSS is what exactly?

It's a targeted news or information feed... golf news in the case of LSPN.

I connect with one to get thoroughbred racing scratches for a handicapping program I wrote.

It displays at the bottom of the current events page.

Could someone please paste the URL to the proper feed in a reply? I was experimenting with other URLs and didn't have any luck in generating my own feeds to anywhere. You have my eternal thanks.

At http://www.LSPN.net, down at the bottom section of the page, click "Options" and you can get this URL and there is an "Apply" button. I don't know anything about RSS but I thought this might help.

Thanks, Pete!
