It's either very clever writing with a great ability to stay in character throughout the different threads, or a crystal clear reason for chlorinating the gene pool.

Perfectly said. That is what makes Gilberg's writing so compelling. I can't figure out if he is really a 45 yr old subtle genius or a 15 yr old special needs kid

Pop Quiz

Since this is the spelling & grammar thread, it seems appropriate to ask here:  how would "Geep" be pronounced?  Hard G or soft G?  I have the final say on this since I asked the question and therefore am all-knowing on this subject.

Edit: I actually looked it up and turns out I'm correct anyway .

I think the "G" sound in this case is "HUH"... Special pronunciation exception that is seldom used....

Makes you wonder - don't people even glance at what they have just typed?

And yes, they make 9 woods but why? I think it's got the flight and distance of like a 7i.

That's what bugs me the most. Typo's happen, no biggie, doesn't mean someone is dumb. But Damn, some of this is just pure laziness. Just a cursory proof read, that's all I ask.

Or just click spell check, make it worth my while to read it. I mean c'mon, that last one was even in giant font .

RE: 9 woods. I've heard of (never seen) 11 woods and even 13 woods.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

With woods like those, who needs wedges?

If I ever start putting something like this in my bag, all of you have my complete permission to beat me totally senseless (with whatever club you chose), confiscate all my golf gear, and put me on the TSA "Do Not Golf" watch list.

Imagine how much fun it is managing a bag with 14 woods in it! I assume the putter would be a mallet!

I wonder how big the divots from that thing can get?  I'd love to see Bubba try and hit a trap-draw with that thing.  May take out half the fairway.

I know lessons are important, but will I learn to hit my clubs as much as I will work on mechanics and me?

Hopefully this isn't too confusing of a question.

His hope had no chance.

This one is beautiful because it is so short and simple, but you read it over 10 times and still go 'Wha......?'

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
