It's always funny to watch announcers bend over backwards NOT to mention something like this when it's so obvious.  Meanwhile, you'll see them blow up anything remotely objectionable that someone like Tiger might do.  All of a sudden saying 'GD' after a bad shot is totally unacceptable.  It's hilarious!

I was at the Masters Tournament for the Thursday round this year, and Dufner spit on the tee box of #12 in Amen Corner.  The crowd collectively groaned because it seemed that a.) he was spitting on almost holy ground and b.) the tee boxes and fairways are like perfectly vacuumed carpet, and it left a giant brown spot that ruined the aesthetics.  I'm a big Dufner fan, but dipping at Augusta National just ain't right.

One little, temporary, brown spot ruined a tee box ruined the aesthetics? Come on.

It wasn't that long ago that players smoked on the golf course. Doubt that many players put their butts in ash cans. I doubt that AGNC banned cigarettes.

I dont think a little spit is gonna mess up a tee box, I dont care if it is Augusta. Its funny seeing how some freak out about someone dipping, he lives in AL over half the population dips. They dont show it on the TV anymore but a lot of the guys still smoke cigs as well!

Fat, out of shape, tobacco-lipped guy who needs a haircut has become the PGA's poster boy - guess he's someone weekend hacks can related to (like John Daly and Boo Weekley) unlike billionaire adulterous TW.

Fat, out of shape, tobacco-lipped Down to earth, likable, excellent golfing, guy who needs a haircut with great hair has become the PGA's poster boy - guess he's someone weekend hacks everybody can relate to (nothing like John Daly and  but a little like Boo Weekley) unlike billionaire adulterous TW.

Fixed that for you.  Also, that is a very confusing post, as you seem to hate 'em all.  Are there any golfers you actually like?

Hah....Big League Chew + Actual Chewing Tobacco = a screwball...haven't had one in a few years

Did not know that had a name.  Dabbled in dip and chewing tobacco as an idiotic wannabe baseball star in high school, but gave that up right quick.

I know that last weekend when he played the Maui tourney, they showed him spitting at least twice that I saw. IMHO, wasn't good camera work, and it looked fairly Gross.

Darren Clarke smoked his way to win The Open in 2011:

The TV cameras did their best not to show it, but he was caught on camera plenty of times.

Not the best example to kids or a nice thing to see (And that's coming from a smoker)

It's up to the camera man and the network to determine what footage is broadcast. It's not really a good habit, but he's well within his rights to use smokeless tobacco during a round. I certainly don't think it's a reason to dislike the guy. Despite (and some may say because of) his little habit, he seems to be one of the most likable guys on the tour.

I realize that. I didn't mean to imply that I didn't like the guy. Off course I hear Duff is a riot.

Sorry, my post was really just directed toward Rick Martin's post. Should have deleted your post from my quote.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
