I do miss the handshake on 18.  Our deal now is we touch putter heads after the round.  I still remove my cap/hat when doing so.  

Not a fan of this. I’m not going to mess up the finish on my putter for not good reason.

I’ve been doing the elbow bump, air fist bump, or tipping my hat at people after a round.

Yes!  I did this in the last few in-person meetings I had back in March and I didn't know why others were doing it, but I followed along.  I knew the reference, I just didn't know what the health thing going on was that caused it.  I hope this trend continues even after the pandemic.

It’s just me and my husband on the weekend rounds. I played a few times with friends and we just waved goodbyes. No one is touching anything or getting within 6 feet of each other.

I started with that, but now I pretty much extend my middle finger and raise it into the air.

In Legion baseball they tip caps to each other after the game instead of handshakes.  That can work for golf too.

Bumping the grip ends of the putter avoids this problem.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
