The best is the International golf tournament we have here every year. 4 courses (2 9s, 2 18s), 3 days, close to 600 golfers, and more drinks than I can count lol. It's basically go to course, have a drink, start golfing, drink throughout the round, finish round, drink some more, eat, drink, and then do it all over again the next two days. Golf is difficult...getting to the course on Sunday of the International, that's the real test

THAT, RIGHT THERE, sounds like a hell of a time ... where do I sign up?

I don't drink on the course ... afterwards it's a different story ...

I don't usually drink on the course. I carry my bag so the extra weight wouldn't be worth it. I'll have a jug after my round when I play with my mates on Saturday though. Played 9 holes on Friday at the end of a road trip that involved drinking all day, took some more beers out on the course. Was not pretty.

We don't have any beer carts around here . . . or gorgeous beer girls. Lucky bastards.

Depends on who I play with . . . some guys I golf with have 2-4 beers, on a hot day, over 18 holes. Now that the weather is cooling off, the idea of a couple of beers doesn't appeal to me.

Now, a thermos of Irish Coffee . . . with Bushmills, a splash of Bailey's, cream and sugar, does sound right.

i think golfers who drink lots of beer while playing have a big advantage cuz if you see two balls, you are bound to hit one

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

I don't drink while golfing... I wouldn't drink while playing other sports, so I don't quite see the difference. Don't have any problem with others doing it as long as they can maintain reasonable etiquette.

Saw something that amused me a few weeks ago. I frequently hit the driving range and practice areas for a couple hours starting right when the sun comes up. I was finishing up at around 8:30 am one day and spotted a group who I guess had just finished a round (it's a 9-hole course, so if they started by 6:30ish, that'd be likely). They were sitting outside at the grill enjoying a round of large mugs of beer. Now, while I don't drink *while* golfing, I certainly can be talked into one after... but not before 9am! That's hardcore.

gotta love the beer cart girls....

Amen to that. The courses around here have some really hot beer cart girls would are definetly skilled at flirting.

Thats their job though and if men are dumb enough to fall for their charms and buy beer so that they will talk to them, more power to 'em. Women have been using their charms to get what they want for tens of thousands of years and we men still havent wised up to that fact. Here in Wisconsin, quite a lot of people drink on the course, but I think thats just the culture of Wisconsin. Drinking is part of life around here (we have one of the highest drunk driving conviction rates in the country). Like I said, I personally dont drink on the course but Im not going to look down on anyone who does. Today when I played my round I kinda of laughed to myself about how on almost every teebox the trash cans were almost overflowing with empty beer bottles.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

I probably should have taken this advice on my round on Saturday! Maybe I would have hit them both and one of them would have been in bounds or not in the water!

Golf is a gentleman's sport, that's what I've always been told. For me, it does not sound like a gentleman if you run around playing golf with 3-5 beers in the bag. The weight must also be annoying, for those without a cart or car. It has probably something to do with golf becoming more casual, people just playing for the heck of it. I'm not used to that in Europe, but apparently is much more common in USA. I've played with people taking a sip of Jäegermeister on the course, that doesn't bother me as much, but there is no doubt they played worse on the following holes.

Also, beer dry you up. I don't know the english word for it, but when you drink beer, it kind of drains your body of water. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me on a warm, sunny day.

I couldn't really fit an answer into the poll choices. ('Once in awhile' would be the option I chose)

Typically, I stay away from beer on the course because I'm usually playing a money game or a tourney. If things are going really bad, I may have a beer or two hoping to relax me.

If I'm playing with my brother in laws or friends from work, I won't hesitate to have a few beers with them. I'm out there having fun.

Well, I'm in the minority on this one.... but to answer the question, absolutely I drink on the course when golfing! If I'm playing 18, I'll put down a 12 pack.... does it make me sound bad? absolutely, but it is what it is.... and this is when I'm golfing w/ a couple buddies, obviously.... come tourny time or for money? The consumption gets cut in half, more for mental reasons than anything though...

do I play worse as I drink more? ya know, honestly, since I'm a pretty big beer drinker and my tolerance is pretty high, I don't really notice my ability go down....

I think the word you are looking for is, "dehydrate".

      Struggling With Volatility

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      They weren't necessarily short - I don't remember the exact specifics of all of it, but some of them were missing a little left or right or both. Day 1 they were landing on the edge and kicking on, where day 2 they were just missing and kicking down into the bunkers and did it a lot. I think all told I actually went into bunkers on 8 holes. Some of them were not good shots. Like a few examples, on 8, the pin was in the back. I hit it solidly, but pulled it and it went long, over the bunker into long grass. I had the ball in sandy earth with long grass around it and about a foot below my feet. That next shot I tried to do what I could but it went into the bunker in front of me. Into a footprint. That one I dug out of the footprint, but still in the bunker. Got that one out of the bunker, but into the fringe grass in front of me. Chipped that one on a bit hard and two putts later made a 7. Another was on 14. The flag was on the little finger of green front left. I tried to play a little past it and a little right. Shoved it maybe 10 yards right of where I wanted to and the carry over the bunker gets longer the further right you go and that one hit the grass between the green and the bunker and came back down into the sand, left it in there and didn't get up and down on the next one. I think carrywise it carried about as far as I was planning on it doing so. Another was on 6, leaked my drive a little right into the fairway bunker. Hit a nearly good shot from there that went a little left and a little short and kicked into the bunker front left. That was a strike thing and just a hard shot. Did similar on 18. Drive in the right bunker, slightly heavy second that hit the bank between green and bunker again and kicked back into the sand. I think the tiredness manifested more as not squaring the face up so well and less as slowing down.

      Depends on how short you were coming up on these shots. A bit more wind? Also, maybe you were swinging at 2-3 mph slower the next day.  I think the biggest thing is not adjusting. Like making assuming your stock shot is not enough and taking 1 club up. Not sure what type of adjustments you were making in your decision making.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By saevel25 · Posted

      No one should measure a joint mobility away from that joint. If you go to physical therapy, they are not measuring your knee mobility based on your midline. It is based at the joint. Shoulder mobility should be measured in reference to the shoulder joint.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      He's using a driver swing, while I used the iron swing. Bryson goes from about 65° B to 15° B, hence the 50°. If you bend your right elbow, you're going to pull your hands across your chest some. Conversely, if you abduct your right arm and hold onto a grip with your left arm, you can see how extending the right elbow as we do in the golf swing during the downswing will "pull" the right shoulder/humerus forward (adducting it, as going from 65° to 15° of abduction is). Even people who pull their right shoulder WAY too far around them eventually get it "back in front" when their right arm/elbow extends. So, such a motion shows up as shoulder adduction even though the movement that causes it is just widening the trail elbow. The left hand on the grip almost "pulls" the hands forward as the left arm can't stretch much (there's some shoulder protraction, but that's almost maxed out at P4). Oh, I downloaded it and watched it (and commented there) before he blocked me. It's what led to him posting the comment in the "update" above. 😄  Single shoulder range of 75°, and that's going out well into the follow-through. 50° Max range up to impact. Manavian's video is bad. He keeps saying "midline" which is just a horrible way to look at it. He also kept saying that the club was moving that amount — also wrong. Adding left and right together is really freaking dumb. Another golf instructor said "That's like saying the player has 100 degrees of knee bend (adding left knee bend to right knee bend) 🤦‍♂️" (similar to what the biomechanist said about squatting). Also, see my post above about elbow bend. That's why Plummer’s alignment stick demo is so intellectually dishonest. A golfer can't get anywhere near that position on the left with his left hand on the alignment stick (quoted below).

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      That makes no sense at all.  so, I watched that Instagram. Here is a summary...  Bryson.... Address: Trail Shoulder 0 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 65-deg abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 15-deg abduction. P9: 10 degrees adduction. Rory... Address: Trail Shoulder 16 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 26 degrees abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 0 degrees abduction.  P9: 18 degrees of adduction.  DJ... Address: Trail Shoulder 4 degrees adduction. P4: Trail Shoulder 42 degrees abduction. Impact: Right shoulder 2 degrees abduction.  P9: 15 degrees of adduction.  Their point is that arm doesn't stay on the trail side. That the arms have to get across the chest from P4 to P9. I mean they do. What matters is the rate of which it happens relative to the position of the swing. The trail shoulder at P9 is not abducted a lot. The range of that total abduction movement is like 40 to 70 degrees. Bryson might be an outlier. Rory might be an outlier as well.  A couple of points.  1. None of them had any adduction at impact. So, this tells me the trail arms stays on the trail side of the body at impact. Is it moving towards lead shoulder, yes. It doesn't happen till post impact. The right side of the body is moving towards the target, so the arms don't have to as much as people think.  2. Trail shoulder adduction from Impact to P9 is 18 to 25 degrees.  3. P9 adduction of the trail shoulder is only about 2 to 12 degrees more adducted than at address. The arms/hands stay in front of the chest a long-time post impact. If Rory, from his address position just rotated his body towards the target and raised up his arms so he is at P9. He basically didn't have to move his trail arm further across his chest than where he started at address. Visualize that for a bit. I bet for people who tend to stall and drag their arms across their body to hit the ball, that would emphasize how much the arms stay in front of the body and how much you have to turn.
