Wow! Some rich drunken idiots last weekend at an Atlanta Country Club Member Tournament last weekend.

Some guy slapped his friend in the face with his weener! Now that is just out right gay!

Money + Alcohol + No brains = This incident

Read the letter and my very first thought was: "I will happily bet $1000 that John C. Weitnauer is a lawyer."

Anyway, won a thousand bucks off myself. But I'm probably going to welsh.

He should try the traditional rugby club initiation next. Roll up a sheet of newspaper, stick one end in your nought, light the other on fire then try run around the field as many times as you can before it burns down far enough the singe the hairs off your arse.

I just became glad I don't play rugby.

Presumably this sort of behaviour is OK at a non "prestigious" club.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

It's just not "news" at a non "prestigious" club.

Any chance this is a made up story? The stuff on the course I can see happening. I find it hard to believe the staff at the club didn't do something when they were disturbing the party next door.

Nope it's true. The writer at the deadspin called the manager at the club for comment.

The behavior was so bad, it couldn't be made up.

From the article

Quote:

called the club and asked to speak with Holder but was told he did not have an office at that location. I explained my situation and was quickly transferred—after a snorting laugh—to the club's general manager, Gary Lanneau. I've left a message with him. I also left a message with the author of the letter, John C. Weitnauer.

sounds like no one every wrote or called back which doesn't help prove or disprove it.

When I was young and in the Marine Corps, that sort of behavior was rather normal. I didn't expect to read about it on the golf course with the culprits being individuals who's net worth is probably greater than at least one entire battalion though hahahaha.

Ahhh, the dance of the Zulu Warrior, I remember it well.  We we not allowed to run round a field though, only round a table at the bar.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
