We have a guy who went to the FBI in Alaska and said that voices in his head were telling him to join ISIS. He buys a 1-way ticket (which are supposed to be highly scrutinized post 9-11) and checks a gun and ammo. There were plenty of warning signs here, but I would argue that things like this will continue to happen in 1 form or another. Instead of metal detectors, we could really use mental detectors.

No need for those. :whistle:

If I could find a way to easily scan brain activity to indicate that someone is about to go on a killing spree, I could be a gazillionaire.

Yeah, but even if you had such a device, it would require people to act on the information. Clearly, that was one of the main issues that allowed this to happen, lack of action by people who already knew something was wrong with this man.

But all we would see in our own heads with a scan is visions of golf courses and the occasional random thought about beer and football.:-P

Information and news moves much faster now. It is both good and bad IMO. Good in that we hear about issues faster. Bad in that anger and outrage slow down rational attempts with come up with good solutions. And before we can start working on it, a new news outrage comes up.

We aren't going to solve the violence debate in this thread. Everyone is frustrated when we see these things happen. The very, very difficult question to answer is 'how do we change things to reduce violence?'.

You forgot about chicken wings and the ladies who bring them to the table. ;-)

You're right on about the news.

so in the instance of the movie theatre, yes you should foot the bill for the metal detectors and security, it should of been done instaneously and quickly, why? because there is no other option! 

in the case of the airport should you immediately change the protocol for transporting weapons and ammo? yes you should because you have no other option

 

 

Is there "no other option" simply because you say that?

    • Played 9 yesterday at Rowley Country Club. Played a scramble format with my brother as my teammate and shot a 40 together. Wasn't good enough to beat my friends but had a great time. Had a decent few shots highlighted by a 174 yard 4 iron to 8 feet. Missed the birdie of course lol. 18 at Pease today. 
    • Some great stories here. I'm more inclined to remember good wedge or iron shots than putts. Here's a few that stand out in recent memory.  #17 at Elizabeth Manor (my home course): Last year at Schaubach Cup. It is the toughest par 4 on the course. Long, uphill, OB on both sides, a large bunker guarding majority of front, another lining the right and a steep fall off on the back. Par is always a great score here. Needed a two putt to go in to flight playoffs. Good drive and a decent 7 iron put me on the green but left a long meandering 45 feet carrom putt with green rolled out to 12 on stimp. All but guaranteed a 3 putt for anyone who knows my poor distance control. This one felt good right from the second I walked up. Saw the six-ish break, and executed almost perfect speed and line for the best tap-in I've ever had. We made the playoffs and lost on the second hole eventually but damn that putt felt good! #14 at EM:  North-South (Ryder cup knock off with our sister course Williamsburg GC). This was one of those 30 footers where you putt up a ridge and let it fall off. Higher you hit, more it breaks. Anyway, read both line and speed perfectly aaaannndd executed to drop it from the side door. Demoralized the opponents and soon after shut the door on them the next hole. They had a chance until then. I had felt like I had turned the corner on match play prowess earlier last year.  #17 Stoneliegh, Round Hill This one was with @DaveP043. A 25 footer from a high shelf to a low shelf, where the putt required to be placed just at the right pace up to the precipice of the upper shelf for it takes the slope to anywhere close to the hole. Had been putting decent all day on fairly difficult greens. Dave gave me a good line and spot to nudge it up to. I took and executed for a birdie! Made it even sweeter since I had just birdied #16. #5 at the 6-hole Par-3 course at Belmont, Richmond: Was having a bit of fun with @iacas. Had a match going with him for a soda. Had to make par from 5 feet to tie him going into the 6th and final hole. The greens had heavy aeration holes so it wasn't exactly a skill test. Anyway, I pushed a nervy stroke for the ball to rim out half an inch away from the hole. On most normal the ball stays out, but lo and behold the large aeration hole cut on the edge of the hole comes to my aid and tilts the ball back in the hole!  I don't know what was more satisfying, the putt or the look of annoyance/disgust on @iacas's face at the ensuing run off celebratory dance. 😂. He managed to save face by beating me by a stroke on the last hole but man that was a fun day!
    • Its not. They are just giving an example in a situation say if cant reach it. Example, You have 230 to the center of the green, you cant hit a club you have that far, so you whip out a 3/5 wood or whatever, but you have to hit it soft because there is trouble in front of the green, a bunker or water. A full swing would land you in the trouble. You want to lay up as close to the green as you can. So you aren't hitting a full shot with that club so for distance tracking you can make that shot a provisional and it wont affect the distance stats.
