You know it's medal, not metal, right?

Yeah, but famously I don't proof-read. 
I just press submit.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Just learned a new golf drinking game last night. 

Birdie, you take a shot
Par, you do not take a shot
Bogey, you take a shot
Double Bogey, you take two shots 

😛 

I would make it handicap adjusted, lol. 

My scramble team does something similar. We have played the same tournament for 20 years.
We celebrate birdies with a shot of whiskey.
However by mid round we may also punish our selves with shots for bogies.
Then towards the end, when we need a final push we start drinking whiskeys after pars.
it is not a sound strategy and it is amazing we can average 14 under. And thankfully we have DDs!

We also use dots on a score card to determine who contributed- i.e. hit a great drive, chipped in, made a long put. 
The one with the least dots is responsible for all beverages next year!

In my Grom:

Driver-Taylormade 10.5 Woods- Taylomade 3 wood, taylormade 4 Hybrid
Irons- Callaway Big Berthas 5i - GW Wedges- Titles Volkey  Putter- Odyssey protype #9
Ball- Bridgestone E6
All grips Golf Pride

My Sunday group we throw $20 in and play skins and greenies. Occasionally, we throw in an extra 10 and play a group vs group best two balls match. Within our foursome we play skins and greenies and we normally play 6 hole "robins" which are match play.

Yep, there is a pattern here. It looks like this side of the pond we tend to plat Stableford, whereas your side you prefer stroke play (medal)

Otherwise I try to get my 4some to play Back Stabber

In our neck of the woods, we call it Vegas 
It can get out of hand as a friendly game when teams wants to press the bet 
We start at $1 per point and by the end of the game it can be upward of $4 per point
A single hole Win/Loss could be in the neighborhood of 60 bucks when a birdie is made
at just a $1 per point - I call it a Crazy Game too rich for my blood 🙂

@wacker as a large group, we play 2Man Blind Draw - Best Net score of the total with a side game 
of Gross & Net Skins, Entry is $20

I would have to dig deep for $1 a point, so $4 a point is out of my league.
I keep it simple and within my means, beer and food. Which really can just be pizza and a few pints.

I play two leagues that are both net stroke play and match play, number of holes won over the season and low net  both pay out. We play skins and Nassaus most weekend casual rounds, sometimes 2 man best ball.

Match play is my favorite because someone can have a meltdown and still be in it....

Usually play a better ball match or, as you would call it on your side of the pond, four-ball. Bets on the front, back and total.

You could just say a "four-ball Nassau."

    • No. Uhhhh… no. Take the L.
    • Just some notes Putting - more straight back and close the face through impact. I got a bit too inside, lots of block putts right or pushing the club out and heeling putts. Especially on longer putts. Pitching - pretty decent. Just working on distance control and different backswing lengths. Redeveloping the touch.  Also trying to no flip the club inside since that is my full swing pattern. Though, I seem to be able to bracket the center of the clubface, heel and toe strikes. 
    • jeezus, whatever hole you think I’ve dug, you appear to be right in there with me. Take it easy man, I’m not mad, I’m not throwing shade, I’m just enjoying Rory’s performance, and speculating on what the future may hold.  I agree with you, he’s one of the best of all time, certainly in the modern era.
