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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
