Golf for most of us is a recreational sport. I have no problem drinking a beer or two while playing with friends, and family. A person recreates to have fun, and to relax from the tougher issues in life. If a little relaxaion, before stupidity sets in, effects one's handicap, then so be it. Myself, I shoot the same scores with, or with out a couple of beers

What I do have a problem with are players who over do it, or use illegal substances that impair their ability to drive a vehicle after a round. That, or cause other players problem during a round. Their golf handicap is a non issue as far as I am concerned. It's the danger they cause others that is my concern. 

Well said, for 99% of us, golf is a way to release stress and enjoy oneself. Unless competing on the professional level, what one puts in one's body shouldn't matter for handicaps. Driving under the influence is of course another story.

    • Wow that was disingenuous. Like, let’s ignore that golfers actually rotate. It isn’t all side bend. Has incorrect or excessive side bend hurt golfers sure. In no way are golfers taught to just fling their hips towards the target. To basically claim it’s him versus this evil golf instruction industry is just disingenuous.

    • I'm starting to move with some speed and confidence. Carried the fairway bunker 225 yards out on the 17th yesterday fairly comfortably. I don't think it was a one off drive either. Pretty much back to game speed. On another note it doesn't seem like my pelvis is nearly as thrusty compared to a this time last year. I hope I'm judging that correctly. It's an ongoing battle.
