I suppose "weird" would depend on what part of the world you live in since some places it's normal to eat dog.

I haven't tried anything too strange. I've had Lamb chops. And once I had a buffalo burger, which I thought was gross.

Drugs are bad. M'kay.
 
I change my swing every time I don't shoot par for the course.

I wouldn't say weird but unique:

Octopus

Crickets

Sushi--some people think I'm really weird that I love it

Sea Urchin

Deep fried cicadas -- in Thailand.  Difficult to look at, but if you didn't look at them, they were crunchy, spicy (fried with peppers), and went very well with an icy-cold beer.

Baked zucchini blossoms filled with cheese.  I tried it once, hated it and cant see myself ever trying it again.  The flavor of it actually wants bad but the texture and consistency was just too weird.

Lamb chops? We eat that at least once a week....

I must say eating fried white bait was rank, even though some classy restaurants sell it for shitloads. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head

That is a goofy video!

I liked lamb when I had it, about once a year, and I've talked to some people that thought it was kinda strange.

Ostrich for me and it was gggoooodddd! Like the tastiest, juiciest steak I've ever eaten. The flavour is a cross between beef and liver but enough on the beef side for it to be delicious (I hate liver!)

Rattle snake is very good.  I have had it several times deep fried.

Alligator is also very good.  I know it's cliche but it really does taste look and feel similar to chicken.

Not golf related, but in Taiwan one year I found a food stand outside Taipei that was selling fried chicken buttholes on a stick.  They just sliced around and skewered straight through.  I remember the Pizza Hut there served jellyfish pizza.  There was a bunch of other weird crap too, but I've forgotten because there was so much of it.

Buffalo burgers are the best!  I have mine with just swiss cheese and sauteed onions on it and nothing else.  What didn't you like about it?

I haven't eaten anything too exotic.  I have had ostrich, gator, squirrel, and squid.

Lamb weird? Wow, don't move to Australia or NZ

Weirdest thing I've eaten is fox or possum. We used to shoot 20 possums a night back home, figured we'd try eat it.

I had fox jerky and possum pie, both of which were pretty good.

Not in New Zealand :)

Yeah, we eat lots of lamb here too. Slow roasted leg of, with mint jelly, spells Sunday lunch to me.

I've traveled a lot for business and pleasure and eaten some weird stuff. Mopani worms probably take the cake for ick factor.

Mmmmmm!

To me lamb is quite common, and I live in the US. I guess it just depends what kind of a cook you are and where you like to shop. FWIW I think it's best grilled with some rosemary.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
