That is a drivable green. I have seen others shoot at the green while people are on it!

Of course no one exits the green by walking back into the fairway!

Haha, I kind of figured the locals would know the course and hole I was talking about. :-$

One note on the driveable par 4. The last thing we need is even more people waiting for groups to clear the green/fairway because they're ridiculous fantasy shot can reach because they think that's g

This is a perfect example of yet another thing players need to learn- maintain a presence on the course at all times, don't have everyone vacate the hole to look for their balls and wait to shoot, som

If someone drives up on you just put their ball in the hole, works as long as the club has a bar. Just kidding

The other day I was playing and I pulled a shot badly toward an adjacent hole. One of the players there was in the rough between the two holes, probably closer to our fairway than his own. I could see as the ball was in the air that it was not going to hit him but it was pretty close and it missed him by about 10 yards. In an instance like that, I chose not to yell "fore" because I knew he was not going to get hit and I didn't want him panicking and running toward the ball. As I walked up, He was livid and bitched at me for not yelling "fore". I explained my motive but it didn't help. He said that if he ran into the ball, so be it, and it scared the you-know-what out of him when it zipped past.

I still would do the same thing. The last thing I wanted to do was hit him.

In these instances, I always yell, "fore," to let them know a ball is coming near them.  Even if I think the ball isn't going to hit them, I could be wrong so I'd rather they do what they feel is appropriate when they hear someone yelling, "fore."  Also, people can be irrational and if they think I didn't follow proper protocol by letting them know my ball was coming near them, and they're irrational or crazy, who knows what it might escalate to.

I call "fore" in that situation, too.   Here's the thing.   Almost everyone I know don't start running when they hear "fore."  Some will turn around to look, others will duck, etc...  but I haven't seen anyone start running.   However, I have seen many golfers who get pissed when you don't call "fore."    You also don't know how the ball is going to bounce.  It can hit a sprinkler in weird way and bounce into someone unexpectedly.   Call "fore" when in doubt.  That's what I do.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
