  1. 1. Post Count Equals Birth Year - Post Too Much or Just Old?

    • You post too much. What, don't you have a life?
      1
    • Born in 1960? Wasn't like Eisenhower President. Man you are a fossil! Old and busted!

I noticed my post count approaching my birth year.  Feel free to insert as many "You're Old" or "You live in your Mom's basement" replies as needed.

I voted for the second option. You actually don't post enough, B!

I look at my posts like years. So I'm currently in the year 2170. Erik so far ahead they've finally invented hoverboards.

What gets me is guys who have been on the board for a year and have more posts that I do, yet they spend 10 hours on the range and play 3 rounds each week.  That's a lot more leisure time than I have, and I'm retired.  They must have solved the riddle of the flux capacitor.

To be honest, I have been trying to get my post count to 1000 before our next So. Cal. outing. This is proving to be more difficult than I thought. Check out some of the 6500+ posters. Even with that many threads, they manage to write some pretty insightful stuff about golf. See GolfingDad for one, or FourPutt for another. Plus Erik is on me to combine posts using the multi function, which I promised. 1961 is still approaching? Cool. Happy Postday :-))

A lot of people post from work.

I retired a year after I joined, so I probably posted a few of my early ones from work too.

Notice my typical post times:

8 AM - 5 PM

and

10 PM - 12 AM

And my post count goes down considerably on weekends.

Wait, what's a capacitor...and what's golf? (Looks at post count/year)

I would imagine that you spend a lot of your time actually playing, rather than on a computer?

Unfortunately, I have not had that luxury the last 15 months.  We live on a beautiful tropical island with no golf course. The cost of golf and transportation to any courses in the Bahamas is prohibitive.   Great Exuma is only 23 miles away, with a Course at the Sandals Emerald Bay resort, but I'd have to charter a boat or flight for ~$300, then pay $250 for the golf.  That's a bit out of reach of my wallet.

One month from now I'm headed home to Colorado for 3 weeks, and 2 of those weeks are going to be a golf marathon.

You should be pretty good out of fairway bunkers, then.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
