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.

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.

LOL, it took me about 5 minutes to even see what the typo was! BUSTED lol.

This thread is not the place to be making typos!

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.

Took me a couple also. I was just staring at the two words going 'I don't see anything.....oohhhhhh, duh!'

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......?'

[bplewis24]

Mechanics and Me sounds like a TV show that would follow Reading Rainbow.
