this is the whole reason you have shells on the greens - people like this poster don't think it'll bother anyone and spit them on the greens  -  there's a culprit on our course who screws things up for everyone behind him/her -

They must have "better things to worry about" too......  Or maybe they all just have trouble multi-tasking!

It's littering, don't want to see it on the course, don't want to see it on the street.

Lack of etiquette and respect for the game? Unlike Tiger I bet those sunflower chewers (is that what they are called? I have no idea) take legal drops and have a healthy respect for the rules of golf. I agree with the sleepingwithfishes guy above... Your consternation is better served addressing the fat 6 iron you hit into the green or your chili dipped bump and run. Or the huge unrepaired pitch marks all over the green. There is a beauty about a round of golf in that as long as one is not disorderly or destructive one can really do whatever the hell they want... This includes pissing in the woods... Pounding beers... Sexually harassing the cart girl... Exposing the world to your horrendous golf swing and then blaming it on the cheeseburger at the turn. It's one of the few remaining sanctuaries left in this world. Indulge yourself and let others do the same. I will acknowledge its a pain.. Not necessarily a pain in the ass but a pain... To have to swipe stuff away on the greens... But that goes for more than sunflower seeds and butts... Goose poop... Spike marks... Pollen.. My playing partners dignity after he has yanked a four footer.

You should not throw or spit anything onto the green, just as you would not do it onto a bowling lane or snooker table. This is self-explanatory, there is nothing to discuss in my opinion.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
