I agree that the divot collection is unique.  Anyone think he would get bids on eBay for his collection?

I thought I was being weird when I collected a shot glass full of sand from the Road Hole Bunker at St. Andrews.

I took some divots from a few courses, put them in sandwich bags to keep them fresh.  Took them home and planted them in the front yard.  Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes and Chambers Bay.  Pebble Beach was the most problematic.  Caddie didn't want me to do it (18th hole)... I just said, "Frank, look the other way."  For good luck I sometimes practice chipping off of them... though they've all blended together.

Also, a golf buddy volunteered to work the Ryder Cup when it was at Medinah in Illinois... he brought me a divot which is also now in that grouping.

I'm pretty sure some of them are MY divots! Not sure why he'd follow me around just to collect my divots - though I am a handsome dude!  :whistle:

      I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
