I have already told you,you are too hostile for a rational exchange of views.

You have never mentioned what a good grip is.

How am I hostile by asking you a simple question? If you say someone should have a good grip then I can assume you can describe what a good grip is.

Of course I can but you should know this and not be asking.

Thank you for making the decision to just ban you permanently so easy.

It takes a lot - and I do mean A LOT - to earn a ban here. Members disagree with me all the time on how long it takes to earn a ban.

Congratulations @freedrop - you just made a lot of people very happy.

This whole thing has been so entertaining/polarizing...and somewhat sad.  The old saying about watching a train wreck. Wish we knew the real deal with this guy. Is he mentally handicapped in some way (not being derogatory)? Is he a lonely kid who's parents don't pay attention and he just poses as an "old guy?" Seems he was attempting to space his incoherent posts with regurgitated semi-sensical posts that contradicted everything he's said before. The one a few back regarding NOT trying to what "pros say the feel", when just a week ago he was spouting that exact type of context as gospel. LOL.

Ahhh...the days of the Interwebs. What a beautiful time to be alive.

Well,this was a pleasant thing to wake up to. Say hi to @bomberman and @Patrick57 for me.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

You're welcome. :) He's Canadian, supposedly, you know…

Probably from Toronto. :w00t: I dunno why that guy irritated me so much more than our usual trolls. There was a "I know you are but what am I?" vibe about him. It just screamed "punch me in the face". I think he might have been Brad Marchand.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I read through some of the threads about Patrick, bomber an and freedrop. I just about fell out of my chair laughing at some of them. I honestly hope Patrick57 is a troll who was making stuff up because I'd hate to think that someone really acted like that. Whoever posted that Patrick57 looks like he made a bowel movement in his swing analysis has brightened up a very slow day for me.

I know. I might have gone a bit too far in trying to denounce freedrop, but I kinda couldn't stand by and let him just keep spamming his idiocy.

He said he was from Missouri when I made a comment about him not being like other Canadians.

If Marchand wore a Habs uniform, you would love him like a brother.

Not true. I couldn't stand Maxime Lapierre when he was a Hab and I would feel the same about Rat Face Marchand. Now Lurch OTOH I would stopping hating instantly if he wore a HABS uni. That guy is the epitome of the quintessential power forward, however as long as he is clad in the piss and poop stain colours of the Booins he is, by definition, a jerk. :-D

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • 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.
