I don't care. I got a pack or two of gum in my bag, nice to have if I'm eating something spicy on the course and want some relief in the mouth. As long as a person chewing gum does not affect my play, go ahead.

I'd rather my playing partner chew gum than smoke a cheap cigar or something.

Not to say I don't like cigars....

It doesnt bother me if someone wants to chew gum.  As long as they arent popping it during my swing.

You wait until you unknowingly get some on your spikes and the walk on your house carpet. My wife defiantly has an opinion on this one.

Which part wearing spikes in your house or wearing spikes in your house with gum on them? Lol.

If someone were to complain to me for chewing a stick of gum on the course, I'd probably laugh at them.  Some people just need something to bitch about, especially if they're having an off day.

Now, if he's putting or teeing off and you're blowing bubbles and smacking it... well, that's just common sense.

Never trust something that bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die

Doctorfro, an old remody is to put ice cubes on a wad of gum to get it very cold and hardened, then it will chip off in litle pieces...

I was talking to the OP and obviously any other "you" who may have a problem with gum chewing on the golf course.  I didn't think it was that hard to figure out who the comment would be intended for.

To be honest, somebody chowing down on full meal while on the course is kind of annoying to me...

i have no issues with this, but i know there are several people at my club who complain and say its unbecoming to the game.

Lol, Unbecoming? I think they are being a little excessive. I can see it being a problem if they are chomping it down and spitting it out on the green and what not, but not by just chewing it.

No offense, but some of you guys could use a fresh stick of gum. Just NO SMACKING like a 14 year old teeny bopper.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Becca ·

      Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?

      It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.

      I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
