Sometimes less is more. Angel hair in olive oil with tomatoes, garlic, olives, and sweet basil.

Back at it again. Missed 3 holes last year. Hope to close them all out this year.

Yep

You lost me at “no badge”...

You’re kidding, right? Not even going to bother answering the poll...

In 30 years, technology in all golf clubs has improved significantly. Equally important, shaft technology has improved with many more options available than ever before. The 130 gram, stiff, steel shafts that we played 30 years ago, aren’t necessarily what we need/want these days... If you can afford it, I absolutely recommend beginning the search for a complete new set of clubs.

By “b” you mean that she’ll enthusiastically watch football instead of wanting to go shopping or drag me to yet another farmers market, but insists that I play golf with my golf buddies, rather than joining other couples in the hack fest that defines the weekly 9-hole couples league? Is this a trick question?

No. As has been said, unless it’s for everyone, it would be a bifurcation of the rules which I genuinely don’t expect. I could understand a condition of competition implemented on the tours, but not a bifurcation of the rules themselves. Doing so for everyone would make a hard game even harder for many amateurs, especially newer players, the very group they’re trying to attract.

I think I would’ve headed to the bar early!

No. A “stroke” is not a “swing”... From the definitions in The Rules... Stroke The forward movement of the club made to strike the ball. But a stroke has not been made if the player: • Decides during the downswing not to strike the ball and avoids doing so by deliberately stopping the clubhead before it reaches the ball or, if unable to stop, by deliberately missing the ball.

You should really try playing golf sometime. It’s a fun game!

Seared lamb lollipops with fingerling potatoes, haricot vert and roasted onion with balsamic glaze.

Looks great! I have a buddy who has had a Camp Chef pellet smoker for 2 years now and loves it. Extremely versatile and easy to use.

I have just as much fun playing by the rules, as not. Hell, probably more...

Nice! Olinger can get around the table!
