I was at a party the other day...needless to say me and my buddies decided to roll a joint.

The next day I went to play a round of golf.

It was the worst rounds I have ever played..couldn't focus on anything, topped the ball and sliced and shanked constantly.

The sick part is, week before without smoking the day prior, I shot a 76 and played pretty good for the 2nd round of the year.

anyone have any experience with this?

I don't think i'll ever be smoking pot again.

I seriously doubt you had a bad day because you smoked a little pot the night before. You saud you were at a party, how much did you have to drink? How late did you stay out til?

my get up and go musta got up and went..

You didnt think it would make your game BETTER, did you?  It deprives your brain of oxygen to create a sort of buzz, which isnt going to be good for your focus or concentration.

lol, i dont do drugs or anything but it doesnt deprive your brain of oxygen as a means to give you a buzz. It contains thc which gets you high from receptors in the brain. Did you learn that in the early days when they were trying to scare everyone from using marijuana saying it causes guys to rape girls and go on violent rages?

I'm all about the beer drinkin...BTW, are you sure you weren't smoking while writing your post? Haha! Sounds like an off day though, medically I have no input, but I don't think a joint will have an effect on your play the next day.

I'll drink a few beers while I play, but if I give a hoot about what I shoot I just say no to cannabis sativa. I save that for after when I want to get closer to God and relax.

Going out to play golf hungover after drinking your face off the night before?  Yeah, that might effect your game if you're yakking in the bushes and have nausea.  As for sharing a joint with your buddies the night before, I HIGHLY doubt it would affect your mental state/golf game the next day.  It was probably all in your head... a couple bad shots, and you may have built it up in your head.

Never trust something that bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die

And here I thought Dustin Johnson was just stupid. Guess I know what he was doing instead of reading the rules sheet.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
