I always shake hands.  But I never piss on my own hand either.  Maybe I'm too trusting of people's ability to not piss on themselves.

I don't think anyone is washing their hands in piss so sure.

I apologize for having a spam URL in my signature and will not do it again.

Not hands, but maybe feet, it's supposed to cure/prevent athletes foot.

I think you are.   Does that change your views on shaking hands with someone who has been in and out of bushes 5 times during a round, not to find his balls mind you.   Maybe, he was looking for balls. ;-)

Back in the '80s, I worked as a lab chemist and as a hazardous waste tech. The standing joke went like this: Q: What's the difference between a chef and a chemist? A: Chefs wash their hands after they piss.

I think in this case a fist bump may be appropriate :-P

that's why we have immune systems ... I try not to worry about stuff like that.    Of course, before I eat, I wash my hands ...

I'm an old dawg. I never learned to shake.

Doesn't that get your underwear wet?

Oh, you meant shake HANDS.

:dance:

But then again, what the hell do I know?

This is much ado about nothing.  I'm not being rude if I don't shake someones hands.  If they think I am, that's their problem, not mine.

Totally agree.

That hand sanitizer stuff is probably ruining people's immune systems. It's good to be hygienic but you don't need to be sterile. Some of you guys must be complete basket cases to go camping with.

I've worked in manufacturing facilities for 35+ years. I've had more nasty stuff on my hands than I care to think about. It is not uncommon to ignore your Mama's command of "wash your hands before you eat" when you're in the middle of a breakdown and grab some food. I really don't get hung up on stuff like this.

Besides, like the old joke goes:

A Sailor and a Marine were standing side by side at the urinals. They both finish up, and the Sailor goes to the sink and washes his hands. The Marine starts to walk out the door. The Sailor calls "Hey, in the Navy they teach us to wash our hands after we pee." The Marine replied "In the Marines, they teach us not to pee on our hands."

How many times have you seen (or done yourself) someone spit on the ball and rub it to clean off the green fertilizer/insecticide from the ball on the putting green. Would you shake their hand after that?


Right on! Hell, we used to chew tar pieces from the streets in Chicago and we're all still here

I've never given this much thought.

...until now.

...great.

...

Do you inhale or exhale when you shake hands? ;-)

But then again, what the hell do I know?

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
