so lets say hypothetically, you lose an arm in an accident.  for the purposes of your golf game, which would you rather lose/keep and why?

i think i would rather lose the left one, i think i would do better playing with the right only.

I think I get the point of this thread.  I'm guessing you are polling to see if people are right hand hitters or left hand swingers.

I do drills all the time hitting balls with just my left arm and only lose about a club of distance and a bit of accuracy.  So I'd keep the left arm.

Driver:  Callaway Diablo Octane 9.5*
3W:  Callaway GBB II 12.5*, 5W:  Callaway Diablo 18* Neutral
3H:  Callaway Razr X, 4H:  Callaway Razr X
5-PW:  Callaway X Tour
GW:  Callaway X Tour 54*, SW:  Callaway X Tour 58*
Putter:  Callaway ITrax, Scotty Cameron Studio Design 2, Ping Anser 4

Really? None of you have ever thought, what if I was in a terrible accident and ended up losing an arm? I must be in the minority...

I think you are in the minority as well... the thought has never crossed my mind.

i got a question for you:   you and your parents are in a tragic accident.  for the purposes of playing golf, which parent would you rather lose and why?  i think i'd rather lose my dad, since my mom doesn't play golf and that way i can ride in the cart by myself.

Ha! See that's my kind of humor. I would probably say lose dad, he's not much for conversation...I told him once "I love you, dad" and he said "thanks"...lol...

Can I chop off the extra fingers on my hands instead?  Nobody sees the face growing out of my chest or the web toes, but those fingers freak everyone out.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
