what i was saying was if i

This is the entirity of what you wrote:

"i would've just dropped one too. even if there WASNT anyone behind us." Your emphasis on the word "wasn't" indicates that holding up play would have nothing to do with it. If you had written what you just said you had, I would be in total agreement with you.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Dude where did you come from? nobody asked you...

Nobody asked me what? What did they ask you?

Strange as it must seem to you, there are players who actually see the rules of golf as having some importance. I agree that in a practice round you'd be crazy to go back because you aren't scoring anyway. Rocketsauce wrote that he would ignore the rule even if there was nobody behind. He said nothing about casual or practice rounds but now says that that's what he was saying.

he said they all

And if you KNEW the rules you'd KNOW that that has nothing to do with it.

You have to find it, not just see it.

Wow, look at me ... look what I started, and that wasn't the intention here at all!

I had the opportunity to make the right call and I did in this instance .... I am also in agreeance with RS that if there were people behind me and it was busy I would have just dropped in the fairway and keep "pace of play" at a reasonable pace.

    • Pretty solid play for Saso. I enjoyed it. Meechai took a beating. That’s a US OPEN right there!
    • I have played two. I believe Southern Pines #9 should be on the list. 
    • I know this thread isn’t based on statistics, but this kind of logic doesn’t work when applied to a single specific case. First of all, these aren’t independent events, like a coin flip. You can’t just multiply the odds.  Second, we are only discussing this case BECAUSE it’s unusual. If something (“Team X wins 21 times in a row”) has a one-in-a-million shot at happening, but there are many similar events, it’s much more likely to happen at any ONE of them. To be clear, I don’t have an opinion either way about this specific Club, but the statistical arguments based on random independent events don’t have any relevance.   
    • A bit of summary from playing in the 2024 TST golf outing at The Virtues and Eaglesticks.  I feel like I am starting to figure things out a bit. Especially off the tee. 1st was a bit of a set up change. I lowered my hands a bit, and started to address the ball off the heel with the driver. This helped me to take the high toe ball out of play. I was wearing a spot out on the driver in the high toe area. Next was feeling like I was staying super tall through the downswing. Basically forcing me to get my hands down from the top of the swing better. Finally, realizing I have a lot of swing path before I start pulling the ball left. I was hitting pretty good big pushes off the tee. I didn't have to worry about hitting giant pulls or pull draws if I got my hands down better. It really helped free me up.  Irons are pretty solid right now.  Something I need to work on is full swing wedge shots or partial wedge shots. I am shanking these at a non-negligible  rate. Something with those shots is just off.  No other irons have I come close to shanking it. You give me like 60-100 yards. A yardage I can't really pitch it with a 60, 56, or 52 degree. It's like 33% shank rate. I didn't have another one of these shots. I was about to go to a PW and just pitch it from now on. Set Up: Less reverse K tilt at set up. Lower hands. Especially with the longer clubs and driver.  Backswing: Fling the club back with the turn, and feel it collect to a stop around A3. Backswing length is still a thing to monitor.  Do not rush the downswing. Feel things stop. I can rush the downswing by making the bad body movement to shallow the club instead of using my arms correctly.  Downswing: Feeling of staying tall through out the downswing. Get hands down. Feel like my head doesn't lower or tilt back.  It's like the upper center (chest area) stays very tall.  Putting, I did better when I started to feel some separation in the shoulders. Like, activating each shoulder separately for the back stroke and forward stroke. Feeling it more in the shoulder blades, and less in the torso. Though, I did make one of the worst back strokes ever on a 3-4 FT putt, but somehow still made it. It was kind of interesting thinking at the back of my back stroke, that was horrible. Then just hitting it in the hole.   
    • 46+41 for an 87. Driver took a bit to get going. Most of the issues were some hitting balls into hazards or into areas I need to hit recovery shots from. Figured things out and started to play better.
