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.

    • 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 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
