One on my buddies, and I had a chip/putt/practice/competition this morning. 

Winner decided the choice of beverage, with the loser paying. 

I won, (3 & 2) and chose a pitcher of beer.....for it's medicinal (hops) qualities. Supposed to be better than wine, coffee, and soda. 

His retort was "it's too early for beer" that "coffee would be better". Nope, a bet is a bet. Beer it was. 

So, how early, is too early for a couple glasses of $$$ Light?

a.  Its never too early, and never too late, its not just for breakfast any more

2. For my personal taste, its NEVER the right time for a Coors Light.

On the other hand, what time did you finish the contest?  If its before about 9 AM, I'd probably prefer a bloody mary.

It's never too early for beer, but life's too short to drink bad beer. Trade that gross Bud or Coors light in for a beer you can taste.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Bloody Marys are practically health food. No better way to start the day.

The only time it's too early for beer is if the bar is closed because 1) the clubhouse hasn't opened the bar yet, or, 2) you're state has stupid laws that don't allow alcoholic beverages to be sold before XX o'clock.  We've had that issue here because of #1, on numerous occasions.

The answer for me - I don't think it's ever too early. Especially when Michigan is playing in football, because I need it!

If it's really early....I'm all over a spicy Bloody Mary (or if I'm hungover). However, after the first 9 holes....it's all good! I've opened a cold one more than once before 8:00 am.

The general managers for the Coors brewery, the Miller brewery, and the Guinness brewery all meet in a bar.  

The bartender asks what they will have.  

The manager for the Coors brewery says “I’ll have a Coors light”. The manager for the miller brewery says “I’ll have a Miller light”.  The manager for the Guinness brewery says “I’ll have a Diet Coke”.

The other two look at him in surprise…   He turns to them and says “hell, if you 2 aren’t  going to drink beer, neither will I”!    :-D

What I think is funny is how popular IPA's are now. I was drinking Bass Ale 25 years ago and everyone thought I was nuts.

I don't know how they drink that stuff. If I want something light there are still some nice selections not made by millercoors or budweiser. In college thats all I drank, then someone turned me on to good beer. To each their own, I can drink a coors light if I have to, if I squeeze a lime into it its almost not terrible.

 I always laugh at people who tell me they can’t drink a “heavy beer like Guinness“.

 For comparison, Budweiser has 5% alc and 146 calories in 12 ounces.  Guinness has 4.2% alc and 126 calories.   Slainte!  :beer:

Personally, I love Guinness floats. Just pour half a Guinness over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, delicious!

Beer with lunch earliest for me. I am someone who will drink even Poors Light with gratitude if that is all there is available as long as it is cold.

I like pretty much all beer (except sours and really fruity beers), and I still drink a decent amount of light beer. Sometimes, I just want something refreshing and with not many calories. A Michelob Ultra is great for that for me. Sometimes, I don't want a heavy tasting beer, either. Sure, I could get a Kolsch or something like that, and I frequently do. But a Michelob Ultra on a hot day after mowing the lawn is also great for me.

I think I'm the opposite of a beer snob in some sense. While I enjoy good beer, I also don't really look down on people who drink bad beer. Except Bud Light. That shit is gross. :P

It's never too early for a beer, but if it had to be Coors Light then I'll take the coffee.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I'm waiting for someone to come up with a way that 125mph clubhead speed results in a dead reaction, but 124 or less and 126 or higher results in a fast reaction. Something like a ball with a fluid layer that you only get to if you swing faster than 124mph, but it's thin, so once you reach 126mph you are connecting with the layer inside that and it gets faster again. It's probably obvious by now that I am not a golf ball design expert 🙂

      I think it’s mostly the “soft” and spinny  alls that were popular more so a few years ago. Callaway SuperSoft springs to mind, though @cedrictheo might disagree. 🤣

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By StuM ·

      Not sure if my logic is sound but I'm thinking a @ 4% rollback is not a big deal.  True, I like to brag about the super long drives I occasionally get but those are exceptions.   Assuming a typical Par-4 holes range from 240-490 yards.  The mid-point is @ 365 yards for a Par 4. Assume a non-elite golfer today has a typical drive of @ 235 on a 365 yard Par-4 hole they have @ 130 approach to center after drive.  Now let's assume this player has 10 yard gaps in his clubs and his 9 Iron is typically his 130 club.  Depending upon hazards, etc. around the green he may play a PW, 9 or 8 for that hole. Under new ball, the typical drive decreases to @ 226 leaving @ 139 into center.  Under same assumptions above the player may consider hitting his 9,8 or 7 iron. True, longer shots have higher error rates but how many of us get upset when we have to hit a 9 Iron instead of a PW?  or a 7 Iron vs a 8 Iron.   A longer hitter that goes 300 yards today loses @ 12 yards after a 4% rollback.  They go from 65 yards in to 77 yards on the approach.  Yes, longer, but maybe 1 club?  Or maybe a full swing vs 2/3rd swing on the same club? I understand placement of hazards also comes into play but is hitting my Driver to 1 foot short of the hazard for the shortest possible 2nd shot to clear that much easier than being 10-12 yards back?  It may take going for the green in 2 on a par-5 more difficult but that should be difficult.  Yes, the rollback has  an impact on us non-elite golfers as well as the elite golfers, but is it really all that bad for us? And from a different view, a non-elite golfer can work to more than offset the distance rollback.  Take lessons to strike the ball more consistently & better.  Do Speed training.  If we can just add 10% to our typical distance we will have more than offset the rollback and would be hitting longer than with the current ball.  An elite golfer already has a great swing & higher speed and thus it may be harder for them to overcome a rollback.

      By saevel25 ·

      Dang-it, you beat me to it 😛  I am kind of shocked by this. I wonder if there is a common thread in the type of golf ball. The conforming list of golf balls is around 1185 make and models (about 15 golf balls per page, and 79 pages). Maybe 30% of golf balls just suck. Yea, it might just tell us more about how much variance there is between golf balls that 30% of them are already 4-5% worse. Which probably makes sense.
