  1. 1. Would you be comfortable playing golf with a stranger who you knew was carrying a loaded revolver in their bag?

    • Yes. I am perfectly comfortable with that
      50
    • No. I would ask to be placed in a different group.
      39
    • Maybe. I would take my first impression of them and use that as a guide.

Probably wouldn't enjoy their company. Tend to roll my eyes at the scaredy cat types. So even if I didn't know chances are we wouldn't have much in common.

So people that concealed carry are "scaredy cat" types?

Remember all, you know they have a weapon.  Not sure how you found out, but you know.

Well, if I happened to see it in his bag (while he's grabbing another ball or water bottle) then yeah, probably a little freaked out. But then again, living in Canada, ordinary citizens wandering around packing heat is a little foreign to my experience. I just find the whole concept a little odd.

That means they either told me, which is strange but commendably respectable, in a way, or I noticed it somehow, in which they're shit at the whole "concealed carry" thing.

Or the topic came up somehow and you jokingly asked him knowing he'd say no, then

Voted maybe, it would really depend on how I felt about the person. I'm comfortable around guns, its people that freak me out.

I only drive about 180, but I make up for by not hitting my wedges well.

I went with no.  Guns do not scare me, but a person that I do not know carrying a loaded gun around me would make me a bit nervous

Exactly, if the guy carrying seems like he's looking for confrontation out on the course and we have all seen that I think I would excuse myself from the group.

You'll have to teach me how to know exactly when and where a situation will develop that will require me to defend myself. Sadly, I haven't learned that skill yet. Or is it simply that you believe in your own right to legally carry where and when you want to, but not in the rights of others to make the same decisions for themselves?

I didnt see where he said he didn't believe in others right to carry, just that he has the background to form an opinion on them based on when are where they choose to carry. Personally, I couldn't do it ... I don't even like swinging with my phone or even an extra ball in my pocket. No wallet either. No way in hell I'd be comfortable with a 5 lb (how much do guns weigh anyway?? I have no idea) hunk of metal strapped to my side. I barely tolerate the game golf and that damn thing is 4cm square and like 6 oz.

Do I really need to point the tranquility of the course out to you?

Well, easy one for me. Not only 'no', but I will also try to call the police. In Holland this is highly illegal and pretty much only criminals carry firearms with them since there aren't even any 'stores' for guns. We do have some clubs, but you're not allowed to carry the weapon with you. Or the dude must be some kind of secret service agent...

No problem at all with it.  Unless he points it at me.  Then I'll pull out my gun and shoot him.

A. Bad things happen in "tranquil" places all the time. That's how this thread actually came to be. B. You have the absolute right to decide if, when, and where you legally carry. To "roll your eyes" and refer to someone as a "scaredy cat" because they choose to do so somewhere where you choose not to, is arrogant hypocrisy at its worst.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
