I spoke with a therapist for a while specifically about how to not blow up my marriage but deal with her.   In no un-certain terms she told me what I was dealing with was extreme and that if we could, my wife and I should move to get away from a continuing problem such as her, and just get the toxic person out of our life.   She jokingly said that if she had a patient like her, she could probably retire.   She has a lot of issues.

But funny story...

One day my FIL comes up to my wife and was telling her the normal stuff (they haven't spoken for a week, or she was being really horrible) and he goes "She's losing it.   Really!   She is starting to lose her mind.   She yelled at me for the same thing four times last night."   So my wife doesn't say anything and then he gives us this gem.   "She's so bad that I just look at her and wait for the drool to run down her fat chin".

That's a husband, talking about the woman he married.   Yeesh!

You should wear a go-pro to Christmas next year, lol.

When my wife was pregnant we bought a portable video recorder.  One of the small handhelds, nothing elaborate.   The first time we filmed something my in-laws got into an argument over why the ice cube tray didn't work in their refrigerator.   It hasn't worked since my wife was in college.  

I did use it one Christmas.  My MIL said something along the lines of she didn't want to be on video.   My FIL said "the camera doesn't want you either, believe me!"

Gone from the funny to absolute horror.   My wife took the kids down to my in-laws yesterday.   Aside from them fighting, she saw my father-in-laws TV room which usually has the door closed.   Filthy, with stacks and stacks of mail and bills piled up, so much clutter it looked like an episode of Hoarders.   He had a path carved out to his chair.   And a rifle.  A freaking rifle laying out.   In no un-certain terms is she leaving their house when our kids are there anymore.   And I am contacting a therapist to try and help me figure out the best way to approach this situation, including trying to get my wife to see their mental illnesses and hopefully they can get some help too.

Thanks for the kind words from people here, either here or in PMs.   It would just be wrong for me to laugh this off or make fun of them when it's just so twisted.   So my posting on this topic is finished.

My Ex MIL had lost her mind -- would get suckered by any telemarketer; watched Fox News and was paranoid of everything, told my Ex to get mace to protect her from me even though the Ex and I lived in the same house during the divorce and after the divorce. We got along fine ... just not marriage material. Yes, Ex got the mace and found no excuse to use it ...  nutz.

    • 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.
