Coming Soon. The LockedIN NFL Betting App by RoadMap Tech. My Colleague Dom has spent hours upon hours building a great App for our NFL Picks to be shared to our followers, which you may remember, we hit on 73% of Moneylines, >65% on spreads and >62.5% on O/U last year. We had multiple Tully Tuesday readers hit 4 and 5 figure parlay payouts and LockedIN will be unbiased, data driven, consensus picks available throughout football season.
For Wellness Coffee https://www.forwellness.com/discount/TIMOTHY51267 this isn’t an ad but they have a discount code for followers if you are interested. I have ADD and start my mornings alongside a protein bar and Coffee with For Wellness mixed in. I saw Phil posting about this for a while and decided to try it out. I have mentioned this before but my bald spot significantly shrunk after 2 months of daily scoops. It has a calming agent to level out the medicine and I’ve lost 25 pounds since 4/1. I’m sure exercise and stress are contributors as well but I don’t get hungry until later in the day, and bypassing a big lunch is a huge win for me. Try it out if you’re interested.
ChiPutt Putting Mat

July 15th
I’ve been living at my parents house with my wife and baby due to some serious bad luck and mishandling of our apartment. I’ll leave it at that but we think we may have found a new place to live and the level of stress in my body has dropped 75%. But the daunting ordeal of moving is lingering and that panic attack will come soon.
I am distracting myself by finding a new putting mat for my basement. I was down to 3 options, the Prime Putt, the Birdie Ball, and calling up my buddy Brett to help me build a green that I can use in my basement. After research I think I have found my answer.
I found the Chiputt (referral link to follow if its not here now check back later today for a discount) This seems like the perfect answer. Rolls up and out without issue, tour grade turf, and because they’re starting up the prices are much fairer than the competitors. I really like the idea of a separate chipping mat to hit foam balls quietly in my basement while my wife and baby are snoozing. I also really am fixated on real cups, the cups in this one are metal but have a mechanism to catch the ball if it’s a good putt. I’m stoked to get mine in this week, will have some updates once it comes.
Sticking on golf, I hit the best shot of my life on Sunday. My partner and I blitzed our opponents after a stalemate on the front nine, we went on to win 10-15, tied 16, and on 17, I pulled my drive, and I was trapped behind a large bush and group of trees on the 18th tee box. I had 128 yards through a window that was the size of a shoebox through the bush. My partner was stroking as were our opponents, so if I make 5 it won’t matter. I punched a 9 through the hole but couldn’t see it because of the trees in front of me. The group in front of us was on the tee box waiting to watch this ball fly off the tree back into my face, I thought I cooked it left into the woods until one of them just said “What the fuck it didn’t hit anything,” I ran into a line of sight to see my ball bouncing up to about 15 feet. I have two hole in ones, an albatross on a par 5, and a chunk of hole outs in my golf career, I’ll put that shot up against any of them. And I did feel a little bad about it as it put our Nassau to 7/5/3/1 with that shot.
I have a big opportunity this weekend to qualify for the Mass Mid Am, which will be hosted at my home course this September. We get one exemption, so I have a 1-10 shot to win the spot against some of my golfing companions. I have been playing well but need to dialing in my putting speeds to complement my ball striking that’s been really good recently. I shot 75 with three 3 jacks, and only made one putt longer than 6 feet all day. Two of my birdies were short game influenced tap ins, and the third was a bomb from 50 feet that I had the luck of watching my opponent hit from 5 feet behind me before. Longest putt I made all year and just one of those days were things went right. If I could drop 2-3 more 8-15 footers a round I think I could hover below or at par this weekend. If nothing else it will be a great warm up for the Club Championship and my regularly scheduled Mid Am qualifier at Olde Scotland in Bridgewater. I’ve had a tough month and could really use a nice boost.
I really want to see Superman. I have limited time available to see a movie and my Dad is too cool to see a Superhero movie with me. I think I might go solo one night after the baby is asleep. I just worry I’ll fall asleep in the Salem Cinemark at 10:45 before the bad guys lose.
Zac Brown broke my heart and announced their Sphere residency starts in December. I have been hoping it would overlap with my Cowboys/Raiders Monday Night Football trip but it looks like that was a pipe dream. The question is do we go see the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere. Leaning no.
College Football 26 rocks. I’ve been getting an hour or so in at night when the baby goes down. I’m playing in my brothers sweet Playstation set up in the basement and enjoying a few minutes to feel like a kid again. The game has it’s quirks but the High School and Road to Glory features are so much fun. My high school career ended before I got to play under the bright lights, but my brother was a Fucking Stud at St John’s and it’s cool as shit to see him in the game.
Now that doesn’t mean T5 doesn’t get the crowd going on the sticks too. Put a hurting on TTUN after this win at Washington.
I spent so many hours in my basement growing up playing these games, obviously that time has come and gone, but it is fun to throw it on and forget about the daily stresses of life and run up the score against Rival teams.
Best Game I watched this week
The Sox are so so back. I can’t pick between Friday and Saturday so here’s both
The Red Sox are so hot right now my Dad is now dialed into the games. I took +333 going into the bottom of the 9th because it looked like a lucky number. I was watching the game cast in the basement playing CFB and heard my dad yell “Get out” I ran upstairs to see Cedanne trotting around the bases for a walk off in a game the Sox had no business in winning. There is something so great about a baseball team on a heater and I’m glad the Sox have found some mojo here recently.
My Uncle and Cousin were in town and were treated to an absolute gem of a pitchers duel between Baz and Crochet on a beautiful day at Fenway. Yellow jerseys, blue skies, cool breeze. What a perfect taste of heaven for a couple of Yankee fans to try out for an afternoon.
PS, Tortilla round 3 was good but Round 2 I think is still the best. I went too heavy on the flour or too light on the butter. They dried out a bit, but still very good. I need to get the press.

Podcast Episode of the Week
I don’t get to Rogan episodes fast, but if one has a few clips I will tab it to listen to later. I am infatuated with Oz and love watching all the clips of him messing with people. This was a cool look into two high performers and what makes them tick. Even in a industry as wild as Oz is in, he still has a driving force to be better and improve.
Best Show I’ve Watched this Week
I don’t know exactly the context of why Nadu was going on the flight, but the drama around this situation is why I still love Barstool. This is just grade A making something out of nothing and turning it into great entertainment, yesterday felt like Balloon Boy or Harambe with the way they were covering whether this man was actually on a flight to LA.
