As far as finding it disgusting:

I guess you look past the duck or goose crap when you're by the water? Cigarette butts are OK?

I would rather have someone dipping and spitting than see 30 cigarette butts beside the greens when I'm walking up.

LOL. Some tracks that I know almost need "duck rules" on selected water holes. You know ..... lift, clean, replace (in a c**p-free area, nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole, etc etc etc).

Some of you "guys" in this thread, really need to lighten up. And maybe even grow a pair. Look, a lot of guys chew. I chew Kodiak and Copenhagen. I'm not ashamed. I spit on the golf course too. Oh no, oh no. I spit on the greens too. And guess what girls....you can't even see it. You have no idea that it even happened. So lighten up, you bunch of metros.

I will agree to all of this wholeheartedly, except for the part of spitting on the greens. That I never do. If I absolutely have to spit while on the greens, the rough, or even the fairway, is only a few short yards away.

As for some guys being girls about this. Yes, they are. I would bet most of the strangers I've ever played with even knew I was dipping. Add to the fact that I think there are more guys who smoke while golfing than chew while golfing. Even w/ smoking, it doesn't bother me. We're outdoors, smoking is anyones right, and they're not holding up play, so who am I or anyone else to tell them they don't want them smoking? or chewing for that matter?

Yeah, that's great, call people who happen to think chewing tobacco is disgusting "girls." Great way to win over hearts and minds.

As long as you're not leaving a blob on the green, then I have no problem with that. Just dispose of the plug properly.

yeah, i'm going to have to go with spitting on greens as going overboard. cause if i ever pick up my ball to wipe it off and there's brown spit with tobacco on it, i'm going to make sure the guy in front of me spitting on the greens damn well knows it.

spiting on the greens is bad, but anywhere else is ok, but i think the general idea of the original post was that this guy is on TV. Professional golfers are suppose to represent an image, and chewing tobacco isn't in that image. Whether or not an amateur decides to chew on the course is entirely up to that person

Not sure why, but this topic reminds me of a thread (seen on a different site) where cat owners want to let their pets run wild - no tags, no license. In contrast, their neighbours want to trap or even snuff out those cats, because they're constantly sh****** in the neighbour's garden and flower beds (and ripping up their garbages).

It's all a matter of perspective. The chewer wants to spit and doesn't care how long it takes to evaporate/disappear, because it's only the people in the following groups who'll come accross it. The non-chewers, who probably think chewing is inherently gross, hope they don't see or step in someone's brown sticky hork. Spitting is perhaps the new "cigarette butts and sunflower seeds".

Just follow common sense. Spit somewhere out of sight, and don't lick your golf ball to clean it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
