If you play in sandals (flip-flops) ...

Who does that?

Although, i"ve seen spiked sandals advertised, I've never seen anyone with sandals while playing golf.

You are not a golfer IF...

you talk longer on the tee box than actually swing the club.

You are making a real ass of yourself lately. You are a non-golfer if you can not treat fellow golfers with the respect due to them, regardless of their score or the CR of the course on which they sh

Not me! A golf ball with a demonstrated affinity for the water has a horrible character flaw that cannot be changed.  It should never be trusted again!

Bunk!!!  I've carried one since the early 80's, and it's the only one I've ever owned.  (I don't "fish", just recover my own ball when possible)

Double bunk!!!  Golf is a social game.  I'd rather talk family etc., on the course than hang my laundry out on Facebook or Twitter.

Here's my contribution:  You aren't a real golfer if you can't correctly take relief from a water hazard, obstruction, GUR, or unplayable lie.  I don't care how many retrievers you own - that's irrelevant to playing the game.

You seem to take things waaayyyy too seriously.

This thread is all in jest...

I should've added that I am including preshot routines.

I've seen some guys yaking people's ear off before getting ready for his tee shot.  Drives me nuts!

You're a non-golfer if you say..."Let's go golfing". instead of "Let's go play golf"  I'm sure it's grammatically correct but it drives me nuts to hear.  Also, you're definitely a non-golfer if you don't remove the stickers from from your clubs after a purchase.

Hey!!!  I'll have you know that Let's Go Golfing was the name of my fantasy football team last year!  Of course, I did finish tenth out of ten teams, but that's entirely beside the point.  Screw you!! :-P

Also, my driver still has a bar code sticker on it.

I'll add one, you're a non-golfer if you think your mental game is holding you back from being a scratch golfer.

Good one.  I don't do this though.  I know it's not my mental game's fault that I'm not scratch.

It's my coaches' fault. :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

I appreciate the idea that swing faults hold the mass majority of golfers back to one degree or another, but I don't know how you can completely discount a person's mentality. Whatever the golf swing, its hard to hit the ball when you can't see straight. When the rage grips, the simplest decisions can turn out wrong. Anxiety can take the most routine putt and make it near impossible. Maybe it just varies by the person. Confident, well-adjusted people may not have these problems. Then there are the rest of us.

I don't think he is discounting the mental side of the game.. He is stating that people who believe that "mental game" is what is holding them back from being "scratch" are delusional that's all..

If you don't replace divots and fix ball marks.

If you don't rake the trap.

If you play OB as a lateral.

If you need to get drunk while playing golf.

If you don't know how to post a score.

If you NEVER post a score.

If you think lessons are a waste of time and money.

This is the thread I was thinking of when I made my post. There are scratch golfers with terrible mental games, I knew several of them growing up.

You haven't played with me lately, have you? I never think I'm going to pull off any shot, and have missed putts for birdie thinking I just missed a par. :whistle:

If you have a good enough swing, it gets you towards the greens. If you have a really good swing, it gets you on them even if you don't think you can do it.

Never underestimate the power of having a good swing and contact.

You are not a real golfer if you step into the woods to pee and without washing your hands, offer a handshake on the 18th to finish.

If you use a handicap in a tournament.

Or if you use a cart when you are practicing. (It's accepted if you use one when your just out for fun)

Eh????????

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Our high schools use raw scores. I was thinking of posting something to explain that one.

You aren't a real golfer if you don't cringe when someone calls a putter a "flatstick". :drool:

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
