Depends who I'm playing with. In-laws? No farting, they would complain for months. Friends from back home I grew up with? I'm eating sugar free Jolly Ranchers before the round to keep from getting destroyed and embarrassed on the course.

You can never hit a good shot when you're holding in a fart. Back off, let it rip, then let it rip.

A well-timed fart on the downswing can add 15 yards to a drive.  It is the golf version of the tennis grunt, albeit a little (or a lot - it depends) smellier.

Shut up %sshole.

I see what you did there -  reminds me of a time in college when a guy farted a few times and someone said "hey answer the phone, some ass keeps calling."

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Thanks. Sorry - I should have explained. I didn't mean your post, itself. I was thinking the same thing until I had to get the explanation.

I thought my first post my be more meaningful, but I blew it.

...and for the record, I signed up the other day, but, yeah, I probably would have signed up just for this.

I made a vow not to fart in someone's backswing. That's a big concession for me.

I practiced clandestine farting on the practice green yesterday.  I recommend everyone work on this part of their game.  It takes practice not to be caught.

Ah, but a quick sniff and analysis of the wind situation along with the guilty look from an individual upwind to you could quickly determine the situation. :-D

Same philosophy as bunker play. As Shrek said, "Better out than in".

That's is why it takes practice!  You obviously maneuver down wind!

Is this why so many golfers walk around on the green to "ass"ess the "hole" situation?

I let one rip accidentally on the driver downswing once and a while - gotta let out the compression.    I can't wait for a pro to do that with the microphones on the tee box - would bust out laughing !!

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
