What is the single worst common on-course breach of etiquette?
JerryTimes replied to bkuehn1952's topic in Golf Talk
For me it's walking in the line of a putt. Accidents can happen, and an I'm sorry resolves it for me. Noise is a close second. -
For me it's any shot with my wedges. Whether in the sand or just a short chip from less than 50 yards, I seem to not get under the ball well when on the course.

While I'm sure this isn't the most unusual thing in the world (having someone grab your ball), I was out one day, drove the ball down the middle of the fairway and while walking to the ball a guy from the hole to my left is walking to my ball. He picks it up and starts to walk away, I yell to him and catch up to him to tell him that it's my ball which I marked with my initials. He's goes on to tell that it's his and to leave him alone, so I show him another ball that I had that was marked the same as the other. He throws a couple profanities at me and walks away, so I just figured it wasn't worth the argument. Next hole the ranger confronts me about it and after getting my side of the story tells me that I was in the wrong. Couldn't believe it.

Which One of These Foods Would You Give Up For Life.....
JerryTimes replied to mvmac's topic in The Grill Room
I'd go with the chicken wings.... I love wings but I find that so many places have bad ones. -
Trump is an idiot at times but he did nothing and said nothing wrong here. He was speaking of illegal immigrants which in turn instantly makes them criminals. He never said a single negative thing about legal immigrants and from what I know never called anyone a racist name. Actions speak louder than words and as long as someone's opinion is just that and isn't acted on, I don't think they should be punished.

1960-70s Clubs with 1970s balls...
JerryTimes replied to onthehunt526's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I just played around with a set of Gorman clubs last week. It took about 50 balls at the range until I finally started hitting anything well and straight. The weight of the clubs made me struggle. -
A friend of mine has a couple Warrior wedges. They are just average beginner clubs. I don't get how Warrior stays in business.

What is it that you find different between the old ones and new? -
Is the Golf Equipment Business one big scam?
JerryTimes replied to Rick Martin's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Went to Carls Golfland, they have everything. New clubs, used, and clearance. I wanted something new that would last me for years so I bought a clearance set. They were 25% off and I've had them four years. -
I thought this was a joke....

I like him, he seems to be pretty down to earth and doesn't try to please anyone but himself. He appears to be a family man and I like the fact that his swing is his own.

I read this and thought that while it isn't good to be beat by the marker, he's +3 for the tournament and is tied for 26th. Surely he's not in good position to win, but this story makes it sounds like he's +10 or something.

So if you don't want to burn your favorite course down, hit it in the fairway..... Check

Ever hit anyone (or anything living) with a golf ball?
JerryTimes replied to Mobey's topic in Golf Talk
I had a guy come up to me once saying that I almost hit him, funny thing is that I didn't hit any stray shots that could have come anywhere near another person that day. -
Anchored Putters Rules Change (Effective January 1, 2016)
JerryTimes replied to mvmac's topic in Rules of Golf
I'm saying that I think it would help. I've recorded my swing, and often when I putt I'm moving the putter away from me. It's something that I have to learn to not do, and I'm assuming that if I had an anchored putter I would probably not do that so much. It's an assumption. -
Anchored Putters Rules Change (Effective January 1, 2016)
JerryTimes replied to mvmac's topic in Rules of Golf
Wrong, I know that a lesson or five would help, but I'm saying that an anchored putter would also probably help some people with the issue that I have. I personally won't buy an anchored putter (not because of the rule change) because I want to learn how to putt 'properly'. I push the ball right, which is a swing flaw in my case. I'm lining the ball up properly when I practice but when I'm putting I'm not properly swinging the putter, and I'm moving it away from my body, I'm ASSUMING :) that an anchored putter would help that flaw a little. -

Obviously. I guess you don't get my point. -
Anchored Putters Rules Change (Effective January 1, 2016)
JerryTimes replied to mvmac's topic in Rules of Golf
Maybe not every round, but my putting is quite bad. I probably three putt on average 7 holes a round and I rarely make just one putt. I have an awful tendency to push the ball right and have not been able to correct it. I'm sure an anchored putter would help. Probably at least 3-5 a round. Maybe ten was pushing it a little. -
Anchored Putters Rules Change (Effective January 1, 2016)
JerryTimes replied to mvmac's topic in Rules of Golf
My view of this rule has changed since it was introduced. A first I was all for it , now I feel that it should only apply to the pros. I am not a good golfer by any means, a round in the 90s means I had a good day. But my poor putting easily adds 5-10 strokes to my game. (Lack of time to practice). If an anchored putter could do that for me (which I think is very possible) then I could shoot in the high 80s occasionally. Amateurs should be able to use it, pros shouldn't. Just an opinion. -
Titleist 910 3 wood ALWAYS slicing ?
JerryTimes replied to BigDStars187's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Do you slice your drives too? Also, and my apologies if I'm not saying this correctly but when you are coming in contact with the ball, how does your balance feel? I was having an issue when swinging my three wood on the fairway, I was trying to overpower my shot and my weight would be on my back foot. I'd be off balance and slice it. I started letting the club do the work and I've stopped slicing.
