Why is it that if you shoot a hole in one, YOURSELF has to buy the drinks for you playing partners, shouldnt this work the otherway around??

Same reasons the bride's family pays for the wedding, I guess. It's your celebration.

Most clubs have hole-in-one insurance. My club charges us about a dollar per month, and then drinks are paid for out of that.

I might be safe saying this because i have never had an ace, but If I did get one I would be so happy that I wouldn't realize that I dropped a ton of cash on drinks until they wore off!!

Same when you get a promotion...except you hopefully got a bump in pay too

I don't think you have to buy ALL the drinks, maybe just the first round.

Heck it didn't even cost Muskegman (Jeff) anything, he skipped out. (Sorry Jeff, had to call you out)

I here you, my second came in the last hole during a scramble with about 75 witnesses. Fortunately it had a closest to the hole prize of a new sun mountain golf bag. I insisted on beer and mixed drinks using house booz, quite a few of this group had single malt and cognac preferences, and I was still out $250.00, even after I subtract the value of the bag.

Are there set rules on this? If your in a twosome or foursome, maybe buy a round for the your group? If your in a larger group, then the number increases to however many showed up to play in that group? But, are you expected to buy everyone in the club a drink, even the tennis or squash players? That could get pricey.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
