point 1: i work 8am to 5pm
point 2: i make only $11/hr
point 3: i support my baby and her mama and the bills. the mama pays for food with state food stamps.
point 4: i called to make sure, and they dont charge to practice putting or pitching.

so,
the cart guys, the cashier, and the director have seen me practicing as early as 545pm weelky when i go. the cashier swaps days with the cart guy to pick up flags. they always chat with me and ask if they can pick up the flag now. they close at 6pm. paid players remain on course when management leaves, naturally. they dont and cannot charge after 6pm. FORCED RESTRICTION TO PLAY DOES NOT BEGIN TIL 8PM, this is when the security personnel arrive in uniform for overnight patrol, i know them too. so u guys think its wrong for me to play 4 holes when there is still sunlight left? or are u just having fun poking at me? as a matter of fact i am going today just like yesterday.

what i ment by "the cart guys like the way i hit" can better be translated by instead of them saying " hey u didnt pay get out of here" they say stuff like "nice hit dave, better than yesterday"

ps
will reputation points get me frequent flyer miles? lol

Dave, I feel for you on the monetary front. The fact is, it doesn't matter if you've got a kid, and the mom pays for your child with food stamps. It should MOTIVATE you to get your ass into a better job at the very least.
And if you're working till 5, then playing golf after till a little b4 8, where's the time for your kid?
I'm not being critical, but you played yesterday & again today.... those priorities seem a little....well i'm sorry to say, out of order.

If my kid's mom couldn't afford to pay for food, etc for my child...then Id have to consider a career change.

This is a SAD ass fact that I hear a lot..people complaining about how much money they don't have..the situations they're in... instead of playing golf after work, take out a loan, go to school and get a degree so you can provide for your kid in the future.
If you're making $11, you can qualify for financial aid.
If it's really that bad, there's scholarships for the less than fortunate.
take the time to research that homie. it's for the good of the family that you have & the future of your child. STrive for something big & it'll happen. don't try to cheat by taking free golf and doing it a few days a week.

regardless of your situation, you shouldn't cheat your way around things. but you're gonna keep doing it..so keep on keepin on.

And I have the offer out there about Golf Saturday morning the weekend of 10.11 - 10.14

If you cant afford to play golf, find a cheaper hobby or get a 2nd job until you can afford it. Your last post made it sound as if "it is your right to play golf". Sure it is. It is also your right to have a child you cant afford.

But I for one still think it is wrong that you are trying to get something for nothing. Pay like everyone else has to and if work is getting into the way, then spend more time at home with child and less time on golf course.

And unfortunately you're still stealing...what's worse if you are trying to justify stealing due to your (unfortunate) financial situation.

DJYoshi has made some good points, I suggest you read them carefully.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
