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.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
