Yeah but the jets always play terrible in the first half and make combacks in the 2nd half that are too close for comfort.  (at least thats what they did two years ago, this year....not so many combacks)

My roommates are packers fans and are all happy and worry free while watching football.  I am pulling my hair out while my team is down and taking stupid penalties

[Tiger90]

or turnovers....

How soon we forget... the touring band from the '70s was called Styx (like the mythological river), not Stixx.  I think I'll go to see them in Houston next month.  I saw them a lot when I was younger since they were from Chicago as I was.

That sounds eerily familiar.

HEY!!! Quit yackin' and pass that damn blunt!!!

Haha, I had to register just to make a post. I have been playing regularly for about 8 month now, I smoke weed a fair bit, but I never once though it was standard practice for some people to get baked while playing. I have to try it sometime. It may be seriously frowned upon in England though.

Have a buddy who likes to do it on the course......never breaks 100. I tried a couple times, totally threw off depth perception never again without some potato chips.

This thread should be a debate between intelligent adults. I personally do not smoke while on the course or before playing a round. To me it's the most beneficial post-round when you're feeling worn out and your back/legs are sore. There is no better remedy for back pain without a prescription for pain killers. The argument for the opposition of cannabis usually means you've never tried it (due to stereotypes or possible lack of availability). Do your homework and don't believe everything you hear. And if you're just trolling...well played.

Dragons are much scarier.  Dragons are huge, scales like armor, razor-like talons and BREATHE FIRE!!!  Unless you're talking about those little bearded dragons from PetSmart.  Large fire-breathing reptiles > stumbling brain eaters.

I don't understand.  Why is it so hard to be a Cowboys fan?  They have won Superbowls  and make the playoffs on occasion.  Try being a Lions fan and then we will talk.

I agree with this. To each his own but personally I have tried it twice(once on the driving range and one over 9 holes) and it just caused me to top the ball and not keep my head down as much. I noticeably did worse, I had fun though and I think that is a big appeal to it.

I would, just once like to actually get high while riding around on the course, I did it beforehand the couple times I tried. I enjoy it, but I just don't associate it with golf.

man i gotta try this sometime.

No such thing as a "weed hangover".  You play golf.  It's a roller coaster ride unless you're some kind of PGA freak who's very consistent.

Pot is bad for you. Scrub

3 thoughts.....

1.  Number of deaths from drinking too much alcohol last year......more than one

Number of deaths from smoking too much weed in the history of time....ZERO

2.  It''s not only stoner's who are arguing its legality.  I haven't smoked in years.....

3. Marijuana is no different than other drugs?  Weed grows from the ground, God's earth....Meth, cocaine, etc are manufactured and cut with dangerous chemicals....

Re. #1: I suspect there's been far more than the zero your non-evidence-based assertion suggests that have ever died from smoking weed.

Re. #3: Duh. The arrow poison frogs of the amazon rain forest weren't manufactured either - eat one of them would you?

Re. Re. #1:  Zero is the correct number, unless you account for an accident because of weed (ie. car accident).  but weed is virtually non-toxic to the body, and the toxicity level for death is ridiculously high (no pun intended!)

Re. Re. #3:  that's unrelated to the topic of legality of weed

typical ignorance from a DB that uses a bottle of booze as his avatar...

Using marijuana on the golf course is super lame.  What are you guys stuck in the 70s or something?  Now me, I do bath salts all round long.

What I use for an avatar isn't relevant to my comments is it? Typical that you'd be insulting though.

You think weed is non-toxic? Smoke away my good man. It's OK, I'm only a post-doc biochemist who works with pharmacologists, most of whom research THC and other cannabis constituents etc. What do I know?

My comment re. the frogs was relevant as the post I responded to was using the fact that weed grows naturally and therefore is fine. It's not.

I should have known better than to dip a toe in this cess pit; won't make that mistake again.
