You may recall the mosquito and all that followed from that. I don’t think I’ve mentioned that I heard footsteps a couple weeks ago—footsteps on the ceiling above my office on the second floor.

After all those previous posts in this series, we are finally ready to take a look at the clipping volume and green speed data together. In this screencast, I loaded some R packages, or libraries.

I knew my preparations for the recent Krabi International Trail race were a little unconventional. But I had some hope that they would be effective. Naturally, when running at latitudes within 10° of the equator at elevations below 2,000 m, it is going to be hot.

Previous posts in this series showed how I read the green speed data from the 2019 Women’s PGA Championship into the R working environment. The reason I want to have these speeds in the working environment is so I can have a look at how the green speeds were related to clipping volume that week.

Before continuing with reading in data and making calculations about green speed and clipping volume, I wanted to show how I set up RStudio on my computer, because I make a few customizations to how it looks after a fresh install.

When I signed up for the Krabi International Trail 2020, I expected there might be a lot of running through palm groves. I knew there would be some mountain trails too.

I never saw this one coming. This KFC Original Recipe surprised me. After the Chef’s Signature series and then the 25th anniversary flavor retrospective, I wasn’t expecting this KFC x Lays Thailand collaboration.

Sometimes I want to use R to do something real quick. But I’m struggling to think of a good example right now. More often what I’m doing can be considered a project—it will have more than one file.

It is convenient to write functions that will make calculations or produce specific output. In this rturf screencast, I demonstrate the creation of a brede function that when given two inputs, which should be the uphill and downhill ball roll distances in inches, returns the green speed in feet.

My spicy frog curry tasted especially good today as I reflected on the latest development in this tale. When I left off last time, I’d been wondering if spending a little more for the premium rat glue might be a good idea.
