I'm sick of hearing people say how the jerk they were playing with jinxed them by saying they were having a good round. If you blew it at the end, it's your own fault for not executing properly. When I'm playing with friends and someone is shooting lights out I tell them that, not to psyche them out but to compliment them, and if I'm shooting well I like the acknowledgement as well. Stop trying to make the guy who compliments you in your round to be the bad guy when you go downhill.

Looks like bits of the soapbox got stuck in his gears, causing them to grind.

It doesn't bug me, but I would never personally do it to someone else. I say something like "nice par" or "great shot" but I don't go out of my way to say "wow, you've got a great 3 under round going, is this your best ever?"

Never bothered me one way or the other. I don't need it either as a compliment nor as gamesmanship. I usually know about where I stand, especially when I'm playing well, so anything anyone else says can't make that any more significant.

Okay, from now on I'll tell my playing partners that they're playing poorly and stinking up the joint on the offhand chance that they might actually want to blame me for it. Lighten up, fer Chrissakes!

I will only do it if there is money on the line... It is called needling...ahahahahahahhaa

I used to run my mouth when I played Hockey, Football and Rugby. I hockey and rugby if I took it a bit too far I even got the chance to back it up, with about a 50/50 succses rate. But I never found mind games or needling very fitting in Golf. Sure when I playing my weekly round with buddies, we will joke around a bit (unless it really is a big shot), but in tournements or real mathes I would never doing anything close to needling.

I think with the internet needling is for a generation of people - water off a ducks back. If someone needles me I don't really care and all it does is highlight a way which they would not like to be treated themselves. So they make themselves vulnerable.

Running your mouth in hockey is soooo lame. Unless your Sean Avery

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
