Anyone else getting attacked by these little buggers this year?

I got eaten up on the course today but remembered through a few holes that I had spray with me.

Mosquitos need to go away!

Put a clothes dryer sheet ... you know those static-cling sheets ... in your pocket. Scented ones are best. The non-static chemical used on those repels small bugs and they don't like the smell.

I don't mean it PHYSICALLY repels them, like they would be bouncing off of you. But, that they don't like that chemical and the smell, so they avoid you.

Winnipeg is the worst for mosquitos. During the day they aren't bad, but when you hit after 5 PM or before 9 AM you are eaten alive.

Ever hear of this one? Spray Listerine on the perimeter of your golf cart.

Say huh? I've yet to try it but a couple I golf with swears by it.

They're BAD this year here too.

Mosquitos are absolutely worthless and detrimental. I really wish there was a way to get rid of them for good. Not only would it help my golf game, but it'd save the lives of a lot people in third world countries.

I just want to know why Noah didn't just swat the little bastards before setting sail on the ark.

they're pretty bad here. if you're not constantly moving, you'll be eaten alive.
They bite you in mid swing, they bite you during your setup, they bite you on the green, and they bite you when you're standing waiting for someone to take a shot.
My left leg looks like it's been slashed by knives

I disagree - Cockroaches are absolutely worthless. They invade, occupy, and are damn near impossible to eradicate!...though I guess they're not really a problem on the course

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
