I came up playing other sports and am used to crowds being loud, talkative, cheering, even obnoxious during play.

Why are tennis and golf different? Why is there an expectation of silence during play, and people only cheer afterwards?

I don't see the concentration needed in tennis to be any greater than other sports, so why can't the athletes handle some noise?

My theory is these have been traditionally "rich people" sports where being loud would be seen as buffoonish.

What do y'all think?

(I'm not judging, just trying to start a convo)

In Persepolis Rising, chapter 39, >!Amos and Bobbie fight 1 on 1 in a storage room on Medina Station.!<

The first time you read it- who were you rooting for?

In Babylon's Ashes...

>!The Rocinante and the Gianbattista are staging outside the ring gate to launch their assault on Medina Station. Two Free Navy fast attack vessels are burning towards them, setting up to do a strafing torpedo/PDC attack. Holden and the others on the Roci seem to know their plan...why don't they launch a couple railgun rounds at the Free Navy boats? I couldn't figure that out- the railgun seems so deadly and accurate, and those vessels were somewhat exposed and vulnerable...!<

I'm looking for recommendations for an off-strip upscale resort for a kid-free weekend. Prefer quiet, nice pool (with lots of shade), and large rooms.
Casino is optional, we don't have any real desire to go to the strip or do tourist stuff. Just want to relax 😎

Looking for something under $200 with MIPS...what are y'all wearing or what do you recommend?

Hi y'all! I just got my Current EXP and I love it! One problem- I failed to do my research and didn't realize the front shock does NOT lock out completely. Anybody found a way to stiffen up the front shock for road riding?
