So went and played a round today with a friend and was flying through the course. came up on a 3some on the 9th and they let us by, then came upon the second group on the 16th hole. we were watching them tee off on the 16th while we played the par 3 15th. We then came over to the Tee Box on the 16th and they were all looking for there pulled shots in the left bush while they left their carts parked on the fairway so my bud and I just leaned on our clubs and hung out. In a couple minutes they came out and one guy dropped a ball beside his cart in the middle of the fairway and took his shot to the green and preceded to hit his ball short of the green and into the lake that has an inlet that protects the green. So guess what after hitting that shot into the water, he goes and grabs another ball from his bag and hits another on onto the lake, then once again grabs another ball and does the same thing!! Geesh dude, look behind you and reanact your favorite movie on your on time cause your holding us up! And after all that he still never made the green! LOL

Man I know how you feel. It sucks getting held up behind that situation. But I also know how he feels. Believe me he had it a lot worse than you

On #15 at my course, I've "tin-cupped" it for the past 3 rounds. It's a very reachable Par 5, only 535yds. The FW doglegs to the right and there's water guarding the green. If you pipe a drive and cut the corner, it's easily 200yds to the green. Well, the past 3 day I've had between 195-215 to the pin and I just feel obligated to go for it from that distance. I've hit 4 iron into the water 3 days in a row too. You would think I would learn a lesson but I haven't. I guess it's a mental thing, but I can't get past it.

Now that is funny, I wish I would have done that the other day when a guy in front of me hit 5 balls in the water on a par three. Then went up and dropped one, chipped twice, putted once then finally picked up. I don't mind a guy practicing considering the pace was a little slow anyway, but he should have gave up a few shots before.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
