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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
