American Pittbull Terrier is the greatest breed on earth. :)

My Mother didn't talk to me for two months when I got my first one, because of all the terrible publicity they get in the media. Anyways, she now has two of her own, and so do several of her friends.

We have a Bull Mastiff named Oscar and he is a great dog. Prior to that we had a Black Lab named Barkley who had a fantastic personality. Both are great breeds. My boss has a Great Dane that is a beautiful dog.

I have a hard time believing that 98% of the dog attacks you see on the news or read about involve pit bulls is just a coincidence.

I think that breed should be exterminated.

A black Standard poodle with a "sport cut." - Mostly shaved down. Our dog, "Koal" was about 75 lbs with a deep bark. Protective, smart and wonderful personality. This isn't him, but a splittin' image:



We live on a 9-hole muni where people routinely like to jump the fence to retrieve golf balls. Whenever we saw somebody looking like they were going to make the jump, we'd send Koal out there. He'd scare the dickens out of them. Little did they know just how friendly he was.

Koal passed last year at 14.

Without a doubt the Siberian Husky. Most people i have talked to say they look evil but they are beautiful.

We had huskies when I was a kid. They're absolutely beautiful and friendly, BUT...

They're hard to train. If they get loose, they RUN like the dickens! (Who'd have thought?) They shed like crazy in the Spring time! - Hair clumps everywhere!!! Beware!

:) Thanks man

However, I do think you are far more ignorant if you disagree How many dog attacks have you heard/read about in the last 5 years?? How many of those dog attacks involved pits? That's all I'm sayin'. It can't be coincidence.

    • Eh... what's he going to say? "Hey, I bought a new driver. It's 10 yards shorter and I hit twice as many OB now." Does he have any data to back up his claim? Or is he just going by what he saw at his fitting?  I've been using either Shotscope or Arccos since 2018 and if there's one thing I've learned is that it's the archer not the arrow. When I'm hitting the driver well, it goes far and straight. When I'm a mess, it's a mess.  If you were properly fit for a driver in the last (dare I say 10 years) 5 years for sure. I'd be surprised if you can get more than a couple of yards out of it by getting a new one. The COR rule has been 0.83 since 1998, with widespread and standardized enforcement since 2003. Obviously, the engineers can still optimize spin and launch and shaft flex and/or kick point. So there are things that can be done. But I believe the days of 10 or 15 yard gains are over... unless your current driver is unfit for you. (as @Typhoon92 mentions above.) If you were fit for your epic. You will likely see very little on course performance difference.  Having said that, I get a new driver every 2 or 3 years... Why? Because I like shiny things. So, if you want a new driver, get a new driver.   
    • My suggestion to you is to take your driver with you and go to a golf store where you can hit the new Ping 440 AND your own driver side by side.  They you can decide.  Very simple test you can do for free. You have no idea ( and your friend probably doesn’t either) how old his old driver was, what loft it was compared to the new one, what shaft and flex he had in his old driver vs. the new one.  
    • I might be inclined to try to figure out what is bothering them. Is it that their index is 12 but they're only getting 10 strokes? If that's the case then I think I would just point out that their handicap is being adjusted for the difference between par and the course rating. It's adjusting for this course being easier than typical for the par. Course rating being roughly what a scratch should shoot on a good day and par being the sum of the numbers on the card. The whole concoction (which Erik and Dave explained already) is simply a way to get everyone to play on an even playing field. So if everyone plays to their handicap, then they'll all have the same net score. The adjustments are there mainly for those instances where something more complicated is happening like playing different sets of tees, but still apply otherwise. It's also easiest to say "your handicap index is 12.4, which means you should shoot 10 over par to play to your handicap" rather than "your handicap index is 12.4, which means you should shoot 12.4 over the course rating after adjusting for the slope", which is a whole lot of gobbledygook to people who don't know how the system works.
