Why do so many relatively good golfers take a single slot tee time with just whatever the club has available. I tend to sign up as 2 ( wish I had a reliable 4) and we often get some random guy, with varying ability, personality etc. Sometimes they just play their own game quietly, sometimes they're much better and we struggle to keep up. Or in one case we had the too serious golfer getting angry at every imperfect shot. Why don't these people have any golf friends? In any case I don't enjoy being teamed up randomly and the experience encourages me to get a regular 4-some together.

Yes. And as a minimalist (I don't use the glove either) I like saving time from car to cart. Maybe if I was a better golfer I'd care but it's just one less thing to worry about...

Yes it's a double-edged sword.I think the ideal would be a wife/girl-friend that SOMETIMES plays. I've seen couples that look like they always partner on the course. I think it changes the dynamic - and not in a great way.

Thank you!

I knew that but didn't want to appear like some kind of wine snob LOL

Same here . Must nice to worry about them wearing out ! 😁

I get it now! Maybe swing the orange whip!

It's an interesting piece of golfer self analysis - yet still somehow confusing. I get you are not sure if you should practice with old driver before taking the new driver out. But not sure I understand, or even agree with your clearing the pallet metaphor. Come on it makes some sense....

Totally a campaign - might as well be tweets from @McDonalds our @SouthWestAir. Just look at the number of recent replies with clever videos and snarky comments. I'd much prefer his own content. At least Ian Poulter does his own (so much so he'll fight with the public).

I was at best ball event last week and it was my turn to putt from about 12'. I talked jokingly through the putt , pretending to be a sports announcer. It was the only birdie I made that day. You may be on to something.

Good post and an interesting idea about talking through your own shot.

I see your point And you know what? If you want to play with historic old clubs I most golfers would think that was cool. And it's still cheap enough. I can probably find a twilight round for $25 in San Diego. That's not expensive for 4.5 hours.

It's always weird when the OP leaves an initial post then never returns.

Never ? I don't do this intentionally. My point is those that get all bent out of shape as if they're putting in the US Open need to face reality of their amateur status.
