Ever need an excuse to getaway for a day on the course? It's a beautiful day, your stuck at work or home, feeling the need to go play. What reason could you tell your boss, or your spouse, or anyone if it matters. Maybe you just need an excuse to "Go Play"

Here's my excuse, I golf every day that ends in a 'y’.

What yours?

To boss:  Hey want to go get 9 in real quick?

If I don't play, I'll lose my membership.

Coach (me) to player, "Hey, what percentage of putts left short never go in?"  Player, "Coach, 100% of putts left short never go in."  Coach (me), "Exactly."  Player, "Coach what percentage of putts that go long never go in."  LOL!

I'm lucky - my wife really gets me.  She knows that if I don't get to spend at least a little time doing things like golf or fishing, I get pretty grumpy/depressed.  It totally happens, too . .it's not even an excuse.  I'm also lucky in that I'm self employed . .but, honestly, I don't let myself play hooky as much as some other bosses I've had, lol.

In the last couple of years, I haven't had time to do more than take a handful of lessons and practice at the range but my youngest is 2 and a half now and starting to be a bit less needy . .so my golfing future is looking bright.  6 rounds in 2016!

Actually the only excuse I use or need to go golf is for health reasons. (exercise) Plus at this point in my life I can do just about anything I want, when I want.  :banana:

My excuse at work - I am taking 1/2 day off.    After 12/31/15 this year, no more excuses.  I quit (my job that is).

My excuse at home - Honey, let's go.   It's time.

I am lucky in that I don't need any excuse to play. However, stupid deadlines gets in my way sometimes.

This is not an excuse in m opinion but a legit reason, and I have even my wife convinced.. A mind-body involved activity can keep brain regressive disorders/diseases at later stages in life at bay. Now she actually encourages me to get out there if I haven't been out in a couple of weeks...  god forbid if my brain regresses even more.

Really, get out there and keep your brain fluffed and spruced.

Luckily, just like Patch, I don't need an excuse.  I just go play when I want to play.  :beer:

Golf helps me stay young.   The exercise is good for me!   

 

I really don't need an excuse though.

I tell my wife "either I go play golf or I stay home watching the Golf Channel". The response is "go play golf" (she hates the Golf Channel)

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
