Glad we've got someone here to explain what is and isn't funny!

Some of us are capable of stepping outside ourselves and having a little fun at times. Sorry to hear you assume your own inability to do so means that we're "ethically challenged" because we laugh at a joke.

(It's fine if you don't personally find it funny, humor is a personal subject. But the attitude you're displaying about this one is just plain sad.)

Im inclined to agree,......my personal ethics mean i dont get around telling people they are fat, or ginger, or stereotyping against irish people, or anybody of general origins not of my own,...

but if i hear a joke, that happens to be funny, I will laugh at it,....the idea of a joke is that there is normally a winner and a loser,...the loser being the butt end of the joke

the concept that "cheating isnt in the spirit of golf therefore any joke about cheating in golf is not funny and enforces the fact that its okay to cheat in golf because it can be made fun off",...is a croc of crap tbh

i found it funny because both characters where made to look like douche bags, and i can imagine the look on the golfers face who has his opponents ball in his pocket and being like WTF!?!?!?!?!?!

it was funny, if you dont find it funny then dont reply,.

Well it is a stupid joke, because you would never pick up your opponents ball in that situation, as you might be caught red-handed in the act of pocketing the ball.

All experienced cheaters know that what you do is act like you don't see the ball and then you step on it and ensure he has a really bad lie, walk around for at least 30 more seconds and then circle back to the spot and tell him that you found it.

Let's see how long it takes for my post to set off the sarcasm alarm!

Are both of you on the green at the time?

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
