With my brother, that ball woulda got tossed into the ravine.

Absolutely. I have no problem at all with letting a faster player or group play thru. But I'm not getting off a green so you can hit your shot and if you hit with me on the green, your ball is going into the ravine.

my get up and go musta got up and went..

I play speed golf a lot. I pay a yearly fee that includes unlimited free golf at the two munis near my office. The great thing about that is I can go out after work even if there's only an hour or so of light left, hop on and play, and not worry about whether I'm getting my money's worth since I don't pay anything to go out. So in order to get as many holes in as possible before dark, if the course is open I will often run to each shot. (It's also a great way to get a little bit more of a workout.)

Well that makes sense, but in this case it was only 4 PM, still plenty of daylight left.

It's funny, I forgot to add we saw this guy again on the course. We were teeing off on 11, he was on 17 (!) in the fairway. He topped a shot that rolled about 50 yards, lucky for him it was down hill. I just shook my head!

    • Let’s consider then if Tiger hadn’t had all those surgeries then too. I’m thinking 21 majors and about 100 total PGA victories against much stiffer competition.
    • No. Nicklaus, Woods, Hogan Through Age 43.xlsx - Google Sheets   Hogan got hit by a bus head on collision February 2nd, 1949. Prior to that, in his career, here  are his career totals/rates: Tournaments: 227 (19 per year) Cuts: 214 out of 227 (94.3% cut made rate) Wins: 51 (22.5% win rate- 6.4 wins per year) Runner Ups: 37 Thirds: 23 Top 3%: 110 top 3s (227 tournaments entered)- 48.45% After the accident in Feb 2nd, 1949: Tournaments: 73 (3.6/year) Cuts: 71 of 71 (100%) Wins: 13 (17.8% win rate- 2.1 wins/year) Runner Ups: 7 Thirds: 4 Top 3%: 24 top 3s (73 tournaments entered)- 32.87% He was only able to play in 300 tournaments, career, because he got hit by that bus. Nicklaus was able to play in 578 events. Hell even Tiger got to play in 378 events.   Woods, Nicklaus, Hogan Through Age 43: Majors: Jack: 92 Majors Played 18.4% Win Rate 48.9% Top 3 Rate 58.7% Top 5 Rate Hogan: 37 Majors Played 24.3% Win Rate 43.2% Top 3 Rate 54% Top 5 Rate Woods: 84 Majors Played 17.9% Win Rate 30.9% Top 3 Rate 38.1% Top 5 Rate   All Tournaments, Through Age 43: Jack: 417 Tournaments  17.0% Win Rate 38.1% Top 3 Rate Hogan: 254 Tournaments 24.8% Win Rate 51.2% Top 3 Rate Woods: 358 Tournaments  23.1% Win Rate 36.6% Top 3 Rate Now, let’s consider if Hogan wasn’t nearly paralyzed getting in a near fatal car accident at age 35…… Oh and, of course, he also missed 3 prime seasons in WWII.
    • With scratch being a highly sought after goal, what are the realistic chances of reaching said goal after age, 30, 40, 50, etc...? 
    • LIV made a big mistake scheduling an event this week. A lot of the top LIV players are eligible to play on the DP World Tour and they could have been playing at the Scottish Open this week with the top players on the PGA Tour. It would have been a good chance for exposure outside of the Majors. Nobody watches LIV golf. 
    • The equipment rules say a club is an implement designed for striking a golf ball, and consists of a clubhead and shaft, possibly  a grip.  If it doesn't fit that definition, it's something else, perhaps a training device.  But a 50 inch driver is still a club, non conforming.  A club with stickers on the face is non conforming, but counts as a club, and me made conforming by removing the stickers.
