Animated and emphatic doesn't work with most police - it certainly didn't work with Michael Smith or Eric Garner, did it? When given an order by a law enforcement officer, comply and sort it out in court. People don't win fights with police.

If the moderators are OK with us taking a detour into criminal procedure, I absolutely love discussing that sort of stuff and will happily join in. I just know the site is particular about straying too far afield of the thread's original conceit.

Yesterday during a round with my grand daughter, and two other, new to us, young gentlemen (25-ish?) something came up after the 4th hole. The two young guys lit up a joint. When I saw (smelled) what

I'm completely sick of some of this "entitled" behavior.  Good for you and your granddaughter and your son-in-law and his brother!  It's frustrating how some people don't want others to infringe on th

So here's the thing that stumps me. If you're doing something illegal, or otherwise against the rules, isn't the #1 rule to never draw negative attention to yourself? If you're smoking illegally

In the example given by @dfreuter415 , I don't think the cops had just cause to search them. I would have said no.

This incident happened in 1968, and back in the "old days" there was never a thought about not letting the police search the car, especially when we had nothing to hide.

Irons: #1 - Ping i3+; #2 - Hogan Edge  (both 4-pw, +1" shaft)

I have no issues with people smoking weed.  I use to smoke in college and high school.  I would still partake if my job didn't drug test.  It would never even cross my mind to smoke in front of complete strangers much less when there is a young child there as well.

Obviously way off topic, but if you'll humor me ... With cops, you need to show them respect and cooperate with them as long as they are reasonable. The problems come when they overstep themselves. Be respectful, but don't let them intimidate you and trample your rights either. Most of the police I've dealt with are reasonable, but there are always exceptions. In the example given by @dfreuter415 , I don't think the cops had just cause to search them. I would have said no.

I don't know about the state laws in which this incident took place but as in Florida the only just cause a police officer needs is for he/she to smell marijuana.

I've also sensed a total disregard for the fact (if indeed this incident even took place) that smoking weed is in fact illegal in whatever state this incident took place according to the OP saying that it " is legal where we're from". Whether or not the guys needed to go to jail I don't really know but they still broke a law and most definitely were idiots for lighting up in front of a stranger.

I think your senses are wrong. Pretty sure everyone has realized that.

Or maybe you just haven't read the thread? There have been many post eluding the idea that the OP should have minded his own business.

I've never seen anyone smoke pot on the course.  Not sure I've ever smelled pot on any course.  I have not smoked pot golfing.  Hope this helps.

That is good.  If we played together I would be using it and you would never know.  And that is how it should be.

One of the big issues is the pervasive and long lasting odor of pot - it seems as bad or even worse than tobacco.  That is going to rapidly disappear as marijuana legalization spreads and more  users, medical and otherwise, become aware of the advantages of vaping and eating.  Both are way healthier, smell free, and more efficient..

Yup.  I play regularly with a guy who smokes (and sometimes vapes) weed, and more often than not I never even notice when he does it.

Funny thing is, I'd be irritated to play with someone who was smoking it because of the smell.  I wouldn't yap at the guy though, I'd try to convert him to vaping.  LOL

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
