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.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
