People are strange.  But before the Internet, you had to go to bus stations at strange times to really experience the crazy.  The Internet is basically a bus station where every hour is the "crazy hour."  Case in point:

Obviously that guy has never been hit in the scrotum by a golf ball. That, most definitely, changes stuff.

This forum has made me forget how uncivil and crazy arrogant the rest of the Internet can be.

My hope for mankind is that some day we're all educated and understand things the way David does.

Haters and trolls.  The world is full of 'em.  You know what doesn't exist?  The lake on the left side of #17.  Or at least that's what I tell myself before I tee off.

Did you hear that?  It was my head exploding.

Not that people hate golf but that people actively hate it to the point that, apropos of nothing, they post their hatred online.   But thanks for the link, I can't stop smiling at the idea of it!

That could be another thread " how to clean up exploding golfers heads on the fairway." Would that tool count as one of the 14? Or it could become another tool like a ball retriever.

Yeah...that's nice. I eliminated my facebook (obviously similar "social media") page a couple months ago? Found myself saddened when I got a glimpse into the minds of some I've known for many years and seeing how screwed up they really are.

Edited by HitAndGiggle

Custom fit RBZ irons. Taylormade RBZ driver. Some crappy old high-bounce Macgregor wedge and an even older Mizuno 5 wood. Haven't settled on a ball yet - still looking. Decades of football, weightlifting and boxing came together to create the world's worst golfer. I'm slowly correcting that now.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
