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.

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.

      2024 Changes to the World Handicap System (WHS)

      By saevel25 ·

      I guess someone decided to do more work for little benefit then.  I might be the lucky one then. I have a +3 and a +1 on my counted scores.

      By gbogey ·

      I've only seen one positive PCC since it began, a +3 during a tournament on a tough, firm course with the wind blowing at least 30 mph. A scratch golfer got so frustrated he pulled out after 9. Sadly, the +3 did nothing for me as I was a good 10-12 strokes above the score counting. Currently 3 of my last 7 scores have a negative PCC. Of course, all 3 of those are in my best eight. I'm puzzled, as the wind was blowing pretty good on at least two of those rounds.

      It changed to the best 8 of the last 20, in the 2020 changes.  When I attended a Handicapping Workshop in 2020, we were told that they anticipated that the PCC would apply in about 10% of the rounds.  That's about what I see now, maybe slightly more often since the algorithm was tweaked not long ago.  And remember, the PCC will adjust MOST of the scores on a given day towards the mean.  With a positive PCC (more high scores), most players scores wouldn't be in the best 8/20 even with the PCC, so the impact is nothing, although the few players who had a good day will see the impact on their HI increased.   I believe it will be very rare that a player has even two scores in their best 8 with any kind of PCC.

      There was a PCC of +3 at Talamore the day I played in Pinehurst! Somehow that course was killing us all, lol.  If it is still the best 10 out of 20, So, it would amount to .1. It matters more if you end up with like 5 out of 10 of your counted differentials having PCC. That could equal a full stroke.  Yea, I think it will influence handicaps like 0 to let's say 2 for handicaps.

      I posted as well, I hope most of us did.  I'm still not sure the PCC system makes a significant difference, but it certainly won't work as intended if golfers don't post on the day of play.
