Curb Your Enthusiasm Golf Tip

[xrayvizhen]

This week's episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (Season 12, Episode 3) is a hoot. Larry is sitting on a bench watching a pro give a lesson and starts paying special attention to the tip being provided, "Vertical Drop, Horizontal Tug." The pro gets pissed off and tells him to book a lesson, which he refuses to do. On the course he's blasting his drives (he hits a guy in the fairway he thought he couldn't reach) and shoots his best round of the season although he does get called on the carpet by the president of the club. (He has a rather unusual solution to that as well.)

I tried it...it works. Vertical drop...horizontal tug, the secret to golf!

I call it "throwing" rather than "drop" which implies that it's gravity… but… yeah.

Hey, his buddy also got Wordle in 3 guesses for 3 days in a row.

This is OT, but in a bit of cosmic irony, the other guy in the cart in the clip @iacas shared, Richard Lewis, died today:

Yeah, I just saw the news item on him an hour ago. He had Parkinson's. A funny, funny guy.  His stand-up act was unique. He always held a sheaf of disorganized papers in his hand as if he had made notes that he was referring to. I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything on them. עליו השלום

Awwww, rats.

And during that golf tip show Richard told Larry he was going to put him in his will, and they argued about who would live longer!

"Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he's been like a brother to me. He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that I'll never forgive him."
