You never really know who it is you're messing with. It could be some ex-green baret who really knows how to fight (dirty), or it could be some douchebag who can't punch as hard as your 80 year old grandma. But let's suppose things are going your way that day and you easily lay the dude out. You win right? Maybe not. Maybe he calls the cops, and when they get there they see he's injured (black eye or some such) and he's got a couple of witnesses who saw you hit him after the two of you exchanged words. Well now you might be going to jail. Probably not for any lenght of time but you still get to be arrested and taken downtown. Now you get to hire a lawyer, make bail, and experience our legal system (probably including the criminal justice system). None of this is earth-shattering, but is this something that is really necessary? What happens though if things aren't going your way that day? What if this dude is a bad ass and he lays you out? What if he's a winp and after you lay him out he goes and gets his gun that he always keeps with him and puts a bullet in you?

EXACTLY.

a day in jail and having to deal with the shit they put you through in the legal/corrections system is DEFINITELY not worth any words. until they put a hand on you, keep em to yourself, nothing good comes from it

On a semi-related note, I was pitching and chipping to the practice green before a round this morning and a guy (probably about 40) told my friend and I that we couldn't use out wedges because he wanted to putt. He then stood in the center and plopped down about 7 balls and putted to every cup from one spot. It's a fairly small green, so there isn't much room for error with pitches anyway, but with him in the center it was to the point where we weren't comfortable sending balls on. If he would have left us half there would have been no problem. We already putted, so we packed it up and headed to the tee in the open slot :12 before ours.

Sorry, but that didn't deserve it's own thread, carry on.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
