  1. LMAO. I'd rather ask Zach's loop, Damon Green) for an autograph....Green is a really good golfer in his own right....he did some USGA USSO qualifying...I'm too lazy to search some results. Sorry....but ya....some if not many threads can at time steer off in another direction. I'll try to limit my future 'hate' comments to only 3 more.😁
  2. Yup...even before the below incident, I never cared for Zach. I'm at the Tuesday practice rd at the 2015 USO. No fans really around....Zach is walking from the green to the next tee....an old guy with a flag is standing there with a Sharpie in hand behind the ropes....Zach walks by the guy....looks at him and gives him a smug and fake smile and thumbs up and keeps walking. Ya....a pro doesn't own a fan anything....but the time and effort Zach spent in the above...he could have simply signed the guy's flag and carried on.
  3. Hmmmm...I've played golf for 52 years....can't say I've met a 17 cap who hits CONSTANT STRAIGHT BOMBS.....I'm kinda thinking if one's swing is so tuned in to hit a driver like this.... then it generally should translate to other clubs too....therefore one would not be a 17 cap because their swing is consistent to hit the ball well and and also score well too. But because you seem to already the golf 'basics' figured out...I think you'll be ok...just sayin.😁
  4. PGA JT, Fleetwood, Rose, Im, Matsuyama, Fowler, FIGJAM LPGA Jin Young Ko, Minjee Lee, Shibuno, Charley Hull, Hye Jin Choi, Angel Yin, Munoz, Lydia Ko, In Gee Chun, Hee Young Park Just to name a few Who do you like?
  5. This....
  6. WTF???.....LMAO
  7. If you want to view a course's profitability you want to look at their income statement vs. their balance sheet. A private company likely won't let you view their financial statements. You might be able to obtain financial info on a muni....likely from city hall and likely a good reason why you want to see this info. All golf courses are unique and will have different financial viability....a muni likely runs at higher variable costs alone from higher staff wages and benefits perspective. Many courses run at low margins.
  8. So if you never had instruction what do you think your cap would be? What was your cap before you met your current instructor?
  9. I believe the SIM Max is a neutral driver.....if you want help promoting a draw you should have bought either: 1) SIM driver and move the weight towards the heel 2) SIM MAX D driver....it's more draw bias as it's designed with more CG and weight towards the heel. But no driver is going to fix a leak or slice. But you believe that once one has the golf basics down....one not need lessons....so I'm confident you'll figure your swing issues out on your own to consistently draw the ball...especially as a 17 cap.😁 It's easier to hit a draw with a draw biased driver.
  10. Yup, it must be a scam.😁 Unless you made a typo.....your cap is 17.6...so you generally struggle to break 90. I've seen your list of instructors...quite impressive.....so it seems like you've spent $1000's and many years obtaining instruction without much, if any, progress. Please tell me your cap is a typo.
  11. I know you try/claim to be the forum's FUNNY BOY But Kudos....Candidate for Post of the Year!....LMAO.
  12. Looks like no penalty and the infraction falls under the Anna Nordqvist Rule.😁...2017 USWO and the cameraman handed Brittany Lang her 1st major. Rahm should thank Anna....a fellow Sun Devil. Did everyone see Rahm's wife's wedding ring?....YUGE and I assume near flawless too.
  13. I like Finau....I guess I've not followed him closely.....never knew he was a CHOKER....and he's been choking on Sunday too. BUT Rambo is choking a bit too...though the conditions are really tough...would Rahm be choking more if he didn't have a large lead? The greens are baked out...though they've already started to tear them up even before the event has ended....obviously Muirfield must be financially ok...considering the cost of reno's. DLIII is BRUTAL and BORING as a commentator
  14. If money was not a barrier....yes take lessons from a qualified instructor.....but not any instructor as it could take from 3-10 different instructors to find one that one has confidence in to get one to their golf goal(s). Can someone teach themselves to get better?...absolutely...assuming they have the natural talent...but it will take them longer and also pick up some bad habits that are hard to break without the guidance of proper instruction. But if one isn't committed to put in the time to take that instruction to get better then one will minimize their chances to getting better and scoring well. That saddest thing I see quite often out here is that a child is taking lesson from an instructor....only to have the parent (who I have never seen hit a golf ball nor likely ever played golf) tell there child what to do at the range in the absence of that instructor....I LMAO when I see this...but don't say anything because it's none of my business...unless that parent is being abusive to the kid...then I'll step in...though that has never happened yet.....though I have heard at the range I frequent....the cops called in for an abusive dad that he and his child were not longer welcome at the range or course. Everyone has different goals...if a 22 cap would be happy as a 15 cap...and if money was a barrier....I'd say...ya try to teach yourself and shave those 7 cap strokes....if that 22 cap wanted to be a 7 cap...then I'd say try to find the money for proper instruction or find a 'competent' golfer you trust who is willing to spend the time to aid you...but that might be a lot of time commitment and patience from a friend....especially if one has minimal natural talent to improve quickly. If one has the ability to be a 'good' golfer...it doesn't take long to figure it out early on if they will become a good golfer......there are many golfers who have played golf for decades and will never be a good golfer either because of lack of talent, time and desired..... or all 3..
  15. If your son's goal is to score well....IMO....then you should start playing more stroke play matches where he's needs to learn ALL strokes matter...it will also help him to consistently focus more because ALL strokes matter.
  16. I'm 59....have played golf for 52 years...and the last 43 years as a single cap....as low as 4.8. My dad a 7 cap taught me how to play golf as a kid.....though some of the stuff he suggested was not correct.....I've never had a lesson from a qualified instructor.
  17. Poulter is a whiny Pink Shirt b*tch...lol. Cheatin Top 5/Captain America is so full of himself....it's great to laugh at him...so I like him because he's entertaining with his nonsense. Lexi is SUPER nice and a really approachable young lady....but there have been some situations where I can see some who don't care for her. I think Lexi suffers from depression....she's admitted seeking counselling for help. Brandel is Brandel....full of hot air.....again...good for a laugh and entertainment. Miller LUVS himself and his 63 at Oakmont....but IMO...one of the better TV golf analyst.
  18. I was goofing around with another putter yesterday....thinking it might be my gamer....NOPE....fatted a putt 10 ft on a 20 ft putt...DUH. Again...more things we have in common....UGH....lol. I'm also a MENTAL MIDGET like you...practice pitch & chips are good...just can't bring it to REAL golf on the course.....chunks and skulls.....someone shoot me.😁 My wife has a cheap chipper..but I can't get to work magic...so it is gone after I demo it after 1 rd...ad I don't want to lose another club in the bag with a chipper. I use to sometimes chip with a hybrid but sometimes I get hot shots off the explosive face.
  19. I've never seen the 1st 4 play golf....I'm surprised you have the Big Thai on the list...why?....I would have thought him as really friendly....nit surprised about Mrs. Doubtfire....he seems like a grumpy guy. I like Laura...but yes....she can be a bit standoffish. In 2012, I was looking forward to meet and watch a fellow countrywoman Shanshan play golf....I gotta support the Great People of China.😁. I'm a BANANA and can only speak a few words of Mandarin and Cantonese. I bought some Chinese White Rabbit candies to snack on and was going to give Shanshan a bag of White Rabbit candies. I said a few words in Chinese to her...I guess she thought I was a Chinese POSER...who could blame her...... and I didn't think she was overly friendly with the fans....I was shocked considering how jovial she is on TV....but some LPGA pros know when the cameras are rolling and act all bubble gum, cotton candy and pink ribbons when on TV, etc...e.g. Wie and Creamer. So I kept the candies instead and shared them with other spectators....lol.....to heck with you Shanshan. But the NEXT big STAR from China is Muni He....LMAO......Muni use to live in Vancouver....and a member at Swaneset....a course I often play in the summer time.....here she is in the below video at 12.....never knew who she was. Look at my recent comment about Feng.
  20. ......
  21. You and I have a lot in common.😁 I also don't like Seve...nor Bubba, Bryson, .... I can tolerate Cry baby Spieth. I also don't like Player, Zach J, Jimmy Walker, Tom Watson....I know there are others.😁😁 On the LPGA I don't like Wie, Creamer, Stacy, Christina Kim, Kerr
  22. Welcome. I thought one has to demonstrate a certain level of handicap to play the Old Course???....is it also a requirement for the other courses at St. Andrews too? I know it's one man's opinion....I never would have not guessed Lawrie to be arrogant....in a way not surprised at The Mechanic. But, let's face it....quite a few people who excel in their career are some what arrogant....they know they are good.
  23. Hi Ace I went to the hospital 2 weeks ago at 7pm for an ultrasound....the place was dead...minimal people walking around...the place was spotless.....our Vancouver convention center was converted to a 300 hospital way back in March that has never been used in case other hospitals are overwhelmed. Hopefully your husband need not be pulled into the ER/ICU. Most of the Covid deaths here are from LTC's. Basically all restaurants here are dead...all have 50% capacity regulations...many courses the F&B facilities are limited or closed. Except for the stupid protests here....not much crowding here....lots of Covid protocols in place here. Dr. Bonnie Henry is viewed now as a hero/celebrity up here. Covid in the US is out of control...it should not be that way. Work on your swing and chipping at home...you'll be scratch soon!
  24. OK...I thought it previously said 2019. So would you agree that pro golfers don't identify themselves with a cap.
