Winter about to start, I was wearing shorts last week, it's like a different planet today!

So... Your not a golfer unless you carry 3 sets of gloves in winter, ( I went through 3 today! Damn rain!)

Winter?   Golf?   The two don't go together in Michigan.   I do play on a simulator during the winter but today the wind chill is about 30 degrees and rain.    Not a day to golf.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

You are not a real golfer if you hate your 3 wood.

I would support this ... puring a 3w off the deck & walking up for an eagle look is my favorite shot in golf (not that it happens regularly for me, but damn if it isn't a great feeling when it does work out)

If you don't have a dirty old towel hanging off your bag. If you don't feel like a kid on Christmas morning every time you arrive at the course. If you don't practice your swing in the middle of your work day. If you mis hit the ball, still land the green and are excited about it.

Some of these posts are hilarious... I'm calling you out as a non golfer if you don't fix pitch marks and/or you deliberately walk in my putting line. Oh and the one that gets on my nerves most: stop drilling your tees into the ground after your tee-shot!!

If your cell phone is clipped to your belt during play you're a non-golfer

It's a "game golf" device now.... [quote name="davechen" url="/t/77399/i-am-calling-you-out-as-a-non-golfer-if/40_20#post_1060772"]I was looking a Jones Sports bags. They're bringing back the old-style, traditional carry bags. But the product video shows a guy walking down the fairway carrying his back with the club heads going backwards.  So maybe it's not so wrong? [/quote] They're marketing to non golfers [quote name="mvmac" url="/t/77399/i-am-calling-you-out-as-a-non-golfer-if/100_20#post_1061317"] Those are good ones. I'll add one, you're a non-golfer if you think your mental game is holding you back from being a scratch golfer. [/quote] You haven't seen my mental game... [quote name="No Mulligans" url="/t/77399/i-am-calling-you-out-as-a-non-golfer-if/140_20#post_1061678"]Your not a real golfer if you have any difficulty answering this question: Sex or golf?

Driver off the deck. Hang on to your hats folks!

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Surprisingly this is pretty easy for me except the scuffing part and the super deep divot it leaves. I mostly thin my wood off the deck anyway, so driver is no different. :loco:

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
