It's a beer league, who cares?

@Elmer, enough that he came here to ask about it.

I find your suggestion that rules shouldn't matter in beer league completely off base. They exist for our safety.

Ha. Fair enough. I often do the same when playing for like $5 a side with friends or the like. I just mean this sounds more like the dad is annoying and overbearing rather than something I'd even notice as breaking/stretching a rule I don't want broken in my league (unlike what I'd consider "real" cheating, like improving lies or worse). If I knew them fairly well I might have fun harassing them about how they're breaking the rules every time the dad gave advice  😆

We voted in improving our lies along time ago, since the course was severely under kept.
We had bare spots in the fairway which might as well be cement. The bunkers were filled with rocks and never maintained.
Now that the course has the right super and put millions into drainage and upkeep, we will eventually move away from the need for some of these rules.

Nothing wrong with taking gummies, they help with anxiety and other stuff.

    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
