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!

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Favorite TV Show(s)

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
