I don't see snobbery as much as I see redneck golfers. I am not talking about the way they dress although there are some really sloppy looking players that grace our course. That doesn't bother me as much as the behavior of the players. The mindset seems to be, "I've payed my money and I'll do whatever I want on the course".

Ironically, they look amazingly hot on classy women. Go figure. EDIT: Wife-beaters that is. EDIT-EDIT: Well, handcuffs too I suppose.

You're right.  Ignorant means uninformed.  If they're a member, they know the bylaws, and therefore aren't ignorant. Stupid would be a more appropriate characterization...

I guess some are intimidated or suspicious of everything/everybody new. But after a few rounds everybody gets to know you and you become good friends with them, yeah? Kinda like life in general, no?

that is not an issue here..
personally i started to play 2 months ago and i am 30 years Old.
here in my country is not like there in the USA.
the Club Membership is payable and the month fee is 100 bucks.

BUT in my country there is no so much people that play Golf.
i started because of my work, and in a month i have to admit that now i have 3 more big customers.

for the records, i didnt think that Golf was so exiting and great sport...

the Snobs here... nahhh it doesnt matter we have no pro´s and the best player is -10 in a 72 par course (2 rounds 9 holes).

IMPORTANT: i have to excuse my bad spelling and sometimes my bad phrase construction... english is not my native language.

Uggh, no joke. Drunks especially (not limited to rednecks).

Driving carts all over the place, yelling, hitting multiple balls. Not to mention (and yet I will anyway) failure to fix divots, ball marks, etc. Falls under etiquette.

Dude, your English is better than half the stuff I see on message boards from people who grew up in the U.S. Don't sweat it. It's clear that you are trying hard.

Grogger...God help me but I laughed out loud!

Me too ... 'dangerous to health' type spontaneous laughter.

Hey! He doesn't have his Tour Card so he technically isn't a tour player

But isn't he a Euro PGA player now? "Nouvelle Euro Trash" Oui??

FYI, the mustard stain (as shown in that picture) is strictly an optional wife-beater add-on

I'll have to look for that option next time I'm in the states.

Oops, sorry.

Thanks Harry. Commonly known as a 'singlet' over here. We do understand your long-form description though. Don't know if too many wife-beaters wear them in Oz. They generally don't wear shirts, mostly handcuffs.

As they should!

(Hate to say the obvious, but "Oz" means Australia, right? Correct me if I'm wrong...just go on and ignore me if I'm right.)

I agree with Harry, you're doing well. Would you like us to help you out at all?

Sadly, now "dressed like a tour pro" isn't even sufficient to cover the most basic apparel requirements.

It's ??? Jeans on the golf course are akin to jeans on the ski slopes. Maybe you know what you're doing, but you've got to prove it.

I know, I have a set of them in assorted colors. He knows that full well.

(Beaters/ribbed tanks, not cuffs. Anything else, I am not obliged to indulge.) BAH! Back to subject! So...golf snobs, eh?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
