As one might expect, there won't be any drinking until the conclusion of the day's play.

Side bets are encouraged. Most people said in the discussion their cap was about $10 Nassaus (maximum wins/losses of $30). Do try to keep "junk" to a minimum as that tends to be confusing AND distracts from the very nature of play. It's dumb to worry about getting a "sandy" if you lost the hole by two strokes, or whatever.

No "Swing Lube Allowed"

@Golfingdad You are bringing the secret "Mojave Cacti" juice we talked about?

One little drop in their water and they never make a putt all day......

This stuff is wild !!!

Anti-inflammatory effects of cactus fruit juice were linked to mildly reduced symptoms of alcohol hangover in humans, according to a study in the June 2004 Archives of Internal Medicine.

You bet ... (I'm still unsure how to link to a specific time in a video - see 1:28 to 2:20 ;))

I might need some explaining on Nassau. I usually play front back overall with skins, or wolf, so not sure how Nassau works. Either way, I'm game for anything.

Right, a $5 Nassau would be $5 on the front, $5 on the back and $5 for the overall match.

Unless we use 80% of handicaps, as has been discussed, then you'll take 3 all day, and like it!!

You can thank @Bechambo and his +0.5 handicap for inflating the rest of ours ;)

Yeah… I hope you all know what a nassau is… since EVERY match is being played as a nassau.

From our clubs Ryder Cup

Losing team sings like yellow canaries.

“Ode to the Winners”

Sing to the tune of

“Old Lang Syne”

We’re gathered here,

Men of good cheer,

To expurgate our loss.

We tried our best,

And not in jest,

To win the game of golf.

The other team,

Contains the cream,

Of the men’s game throng.

They beat us fair,

So we must bear,

The singing of this song!

This last refrain,

Does bring us pain,

We wish for you to hear.

We plan for you,

To sing this song,

Same time, same place, next year!!

Lyrics by Rogers Robinson. my long time friend, bless his soul.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By saevel25 ·

      OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?
