Very disagree on the lifelong desire even once stopped.  I smoked cigs from age 15 to 30, quit 14 times and finally succeeded in my quest.  What a blessing.  And now i view cigs, and users, with substantial dislike and i cannot imagine ever wanting another.  If you are in it, you will want but once out, then it's over.

So  all smokers in your eyes are dirtbags..?  Shame, I know a few smokers that are really great folks.

They may not be dirtbags, but they do stink, and are pretty pathetic in their slavish addiction. I confess to the same slavish behavior for decades, but I am now a nonsmoker for almost a decade. It all comes down to mind over matter. I choose to never "crave" tobacco again in my life! :whistle:

Bro we appreciate your willpower and dedication. I say this sincerely. Please remember that people are people. You sound as tho you have succumed to that psychological state in which your triumph over a subject has caused you to take a militant stance on a subject. Hence you have no room in your philosophy to tolarate anyone who is not of like mind of habit. Relax. If you are a good person and I were a smoker I would still love you. Give others the same.

As much as I hate smoking and its effects, I cannot disagree with you. Good post.

Always,

Seems to me you just put a lot of words in my mouth! (I quoted my post here for ya) Smoke all you want, bro. No militant stance here, just please don't blow it my way.

I'm thoroughly relaxed. Actually, "my philosophy" is that smoking is for kids. It took me a bunch of years, but I finally managed to grow up.

Thanks for responding. Sorry if I put words in your mouth. Honest misunderstanding of vernacular or contextual inference. My bad. For everyone reading this please realize that I think a bit "sideways" one might say. I always appreciate a response if I am ever stupid enough to respond myself!! I promise I am never being snarky.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
