In light of all that's happened with Wall Street since this commercial, well, no words.

No Lie here but on Sunday after the countless backwards hat wearing, whiff 2 times before you shank one in the woods, make sure you take a drive cart and a cooler of beer clientele we get, the other person working the shop asked me to beat describe these people we get.

I went on YouTube and played that EXACT same clip you have here for them.  The kid working died laughing.

I remember those guys well. 

It was always a secondary sort of rivalry for Dayton. The games could be pretty fierce, but there was a level of respect between the Bombers and Chill organizations. ... We HATED Toledo. 

Also loved going to games at the Fairgrounds Colliseum. Fabulous, old-school barn.

Holy Crap! I forgot about those. I got all three of those for Christmas one year. I think it was 1977. They were my favorite toys! Thanks for the memories. ...Ah Nostalgia. ....

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Day 186 (04 Nov 24) -  More tempo work today (6i into the net)….did notice that the more I “thought” about it, the less solid the strike.  Side bar - thinking it might be time for a new target flag (the hole 1st appeared Thurs and has now grown to look rather “scowled in appearance”):   Finished up with sone bump and runs with the 6i in the backyard…
    • Four shots? And if one of them is good, do you really keep hitting more? Even if you hit all four, since it's basically a four-person scramble… but even better since you can learn directly from previous shots, that's gonna be like 120 full swings. I'd go pretty high in the handicap range against a Tour player (assuming it's a typical 7000 yard course or shorter) given four attempts.
    • Sorry, what has this to do with 'Tour stats'? If the idea is that you have to be a PGA Tour pro level short game to shoot low 70s driving it 160ish, then you may be overestimating the difficulty in doing so playing super short tees as @iacas mentioned.  Obviously I don't know the course/courses your friend is taking about but we have quite a few super seniors (70+) at my home course who do just that from super short tees (5,400 yards). There's only one par 4 over 300 yards. Majority average 260ish. The two par 5s are less than 400 yards. From the short tees the margin of error in keeping the ball in play is super wide. Additionally they don't hit hard enough to hit big hooks and slices.  They don't 'throw darts' but instead run up the ball on the green or around it all day. Not terribly hard.       
    • This reminded me of a (fictional) book I read about a golf hustler.  One game he used was to play against a good player.  he'd play his own ball straight up, the other guy was allowed to play the best of 4 attempts, similar to your scenario, but with double the chances.  The other guy got ahead early, but was exhausted after 8 or 10 holes of hitting 4 drives, 4 approaches, etc., on every hole.  Again, this was fiction, but it has a ring of truth to it.  So in your scenario, I'd wonder whether a single player taking two attempts at each and every shot would get pretty fatigued before the end of the round.  With a little self-control, taking a second try only when there was real improvement available, he might do really well.
