I could have sworn this was on the forum by now, but I didn't find it in a search, so here it goes:

Robin Williams on Golf .
I whack a ball it goes in a gopher hole. Oh, like croquet? **** croquet! I put the hole hundreds of yards away!

I heard this shortly after he did this skit...I love this and never laughed so hard in my life when I heard it.

Classic stuff. I think it is up there with some of the one-liners from Caddyshack.

Fairways and Greens.

I heard that bit once before and I almost choked to death. Definitely one of the best ever descriptions of our great game. Robin Williams is one of the greatest comic minds of our generation, if not of all time.

The whole HBO special was hilarious. Watch the other parts if you get a chance. He made some other funny jokes about Tiger when he did a show in England. Hope he makes a full recovery. We need a funny guy in these times.

i actually referenced (in a roundabout way) this skit just a couple of days ago. i'm living with a couple of bachelors, and someone managed to clog up the toilet. well... i was plugging away at it, hoping to god we could fix it ourselves and not have to call a plumber, and i was really getting furious with it when suddenly *blooop* the toilet gives me one bubble. so i launch into it all over again for like 30 minutes to no avail, and i went into the living room and, without even meaning to, launched into a scottish accent yelling AND THEN IT GIVES ME ONE BUBBLE, JUST TO GIVE ME F'N HOPE!

robin williams is awesome. he was scheduled to perform here, but canceled/postponed due to his surgery or whatever it is he's having to undergo right now.

Agree 100%. I saw that clip a few years ago and bought the DVD. It is called

Robin Williams - Live on Broadway .

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
