I know what I would do------------------I would invent it, and name the 19th hole after myself---------"The Publisher's Pub". It blows my mind to think of LIFE WITHOUT GOLF.

I probably wouldn't be athletic or at the gym. Golf caused me to want to go outside, enjoy the outdoors, and so on.

If golf didn't exist it really wouldn't change who I am at all.

Sure, it's an addicting hobby and I love it, but basketball was and always will be my first love. If golf didn't exist, I'd probably spend a lot more time playing basketball and playing my guitar. It wouldn't really have any affect on what I did, except my hobbies.

One of the attractions of golf for me is the environment it is played in. It is more than a "walk in the park". A number of times, we watch deer prancing across the fairway or come down to a nearby stream. There are many wild turkeys around (their population has exploded in the last five years in our part of Upstate New York). I am fond of our feathery friends and I love to see cardinals, blue jays, baltimore orioles. Our home course has a blue heron that swoops down to catch fish out of the ponds early in the morning.

I grew up in a rural area where I used to take hikes frequently "through the woods". The golf courses that are built in outlying areas are the ones that I like the most. You may have guessed this-----------------I NEVER take a golf cart. I love the exercise of walking, and you see and hear so much more if you stroll along, rather than ride along.

I have found the golf courses that I frequent are great places to meet attractive, athletic women------------not for purposes of dating or whatever. I have been married to a "saint" for 29 years and have never cheated on her and never will. Nonetheless, I follow her rule---you can look, but you cannot touch.

For over 30 years, I have been a golf instructor and I can see where club pros get in trouble giving lessons to a well built gal. The temptation to "show her" by putting your hands on hers, etc. has got to be great. Hey----maybe that is why my son is a Head Pro at a golf course owned by St. Lawrence University where the coeds are "not bad looking".

Sorry about that. I am a rookie here and have posted only under "Tour Talk". I thought up this thread and figured it might produce interesting replies, so I posted it. Then, it did not show up under "Tour Talk", and I thought it was lost forever. A light bulb went off in my head about how it was not really a topic for the Tours, so I checked out the CP, and here it is!!

I'd spend more time on the water fishing & windsurfing, hiking in the mountains, playing my guitar and might even start playing tennis again.

You can talk to a slice, but a hook doesn't listen.

GOOD CHOICES!! I LOVE basketball and tennis, because they are fast paced, and develop cardio-vascular conditioning. I still play a little basketball, but have NOT played tennis for about five years. When I do play, I put the racket in my left hand, even though I am right-handed, to develop the muscles in my wrist, forearm, and bicep to HELP me with my golf game (I play right-handed and do NOT want to have that side be too strong).

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By snapfade ·

      I had the D-9's a while back, thought the stock Wilson grips were rubbish.  I put Pure grips on them. Pure is now out of business but available on Golfworks.  Currently some colors in stock as of today. PURE Wrap Golf Grips - The GolfWorks PURE Golf's tackiest grip, the Wrap features a perforated wrap design and is ideal for golfers that prefer a slightly softer, more muted feel at impact.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      If he had to hit over the bunker, I'm guessing he was further from the hole, although "in front of" implies the opposite.  If that's right, that may have been the right spot for penalty relief, a single PS.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.
