I was at the golf range today. There were two older men hitting to the right of me (facing the range). I was addressed to hit a shot when I hear an aerosol sound. I figure its one of those water spray cans (it was bloody hot) and that one of the guys was spraying his face. All of a sudden I feel like a cockroach under RAID attack. I look up and the moron is spraying WD-40 on his clubs in FRONT of a fan they have set up! I approach him frikking steamed asking him to stop and asking him to be more considerate. He apologizes, then proceeds to move BEHIND the fan and continue. DOH! Where are these people from. Sorry I am just pissed after inhaling a quarter can of WD-40. What other stories do you have of people with single digit IQ's and no common sense on the range at the course etc...

Wow, that was pretty retarded.

I get pissed off when someone is using a Cobra driver on the range. It gives me a friggin' headache and tinnitus. What makes me even more upset is when they go right infront of me to pick up their pegs after every shot. Makes me wanna BOOM one right up their ass making them feel my pain.

Hey guys, I don't want to be the internet police here, but I don't think using the adjective used above to describe this guy in the topic is appropriate in any way. What if a user of this site happens to have a child with this particular disability? (I don't.) I think that is a very possible situation, and this could be really offensive. Please just think before you throw around certain words.

Why would he need to clean them with WD40? What happened to the old fashion towel wipe down?

You'd have to ask him that question. But the question was "What could be the purpose of that?"

Yeah I was feeling iffy about the word, hence the substituted @. But I was just steaming - usually I try to be as PC as possible.

I think you're missing the point here. It's not whether it's spelled out or not, it's the use of the term itself. Retardation is a disability. It's not a stupid person.

If my son or daughter was born retarded, I would be EXTREMELY offended by your remark. Call 'em a jerk, call 'em an A-hole, call 'em stupid, but to call them retarded is,well... stupid.

I am not missing the point. I admitting it is an un-PC term. If anything it's insensitive and thoughtless. Don;t go around calling people stupid. I'm sure before the whole PC movement lots of people went around using the "r" word for jerks and *******s. Don't become one yourself. I already admitted my wrong-doing.

It's tough to deal with idiots. I can't imagine what someone would be thinking to spray anything around or behind a fan pointed at someone. I would guess he thought he was cleaning and protecting his clubs from oxidation or something.

I wonder if he was tyrying to lube the faces to reduce spin? I kid you not I knew a guy that put vaseline on his driver before for that reason. (cheating, of course)

I was just thinking that, fact is WD 40 would be like putting chapstick on your driver face and then some. Guy sounds like a inconsiderate prick, funny how everytime i go golfing i run into at least 1 of those.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
