I have the opposite problem. I have a pin head. Every hat I wear has to be adjusted to almost as small as it will go. It looks ridiculous. Therefore, I dislike hats. Unfortunately, I'm follically challenged so, going hatless on a golf course is a no no. Those of you with 'normal' size noggins are blessed.

Music on the Golf Course?
silver & black replied to Ron Folkinga's topic in Breaking News and Debate
I don't care one way or the other. Personally, I don't bother with it. It's just another thing to have to contend with.... changing stations/skipping songs because you don't like what's playing, up down the volume, etc.... I'd much rather just concentrate on screwing up the round without help. If music bothers you so much that you can't play because of it.... maybe you should take up Tennis.... they frown on any outside noise as much as golfers do. -
My dad always told me.... blow on it, rub some dirt on it and go play.

Just plain, natural wood tees. I bought a bad of 500 that I've been using for the last 3 years.

Get out the oil can Tin Man.

I always use a glove. I never take it off until the round is over. I've tried putting without it, but it just feels strange not to have it on..... and I don't putt any better or worse either way.
-
I always grab two for putting practice. No particular reason.

This is me these days. I use my 54* for almost every shot around the green. Sometimes I use my 50* for a few shots farther away that need to roll out a bit more. Other than that, I should take the 58* out of the bag.... nothing good ever comes of using it .

Is Golf's Dress Code Outdated?
silver & black replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Breaking News and Debate
I play in jeans exclusively (clean, no rips, of course) during early Spring and in the Fall. All other times are shorts (not cut offs). -
Do what you want. Makes no difference to me. I drink, so I'm not about to get on a soap box. Personally, I won't take anything into my lungs on purpose, other than air...lol. I watched too many people I cared about die from smoking. My father died a very slow death from COPD, mother, uncle, father and mother in law, aunts... lung cancer. I'll just stick to beating up my liver... lol.

There is still a lot of affordable golf in Ohio. Some of my favorite courses are no longer affordable... for me. I haven't played my favorite in 5 years because of the increase in greens fees. I'm sure $75.00 isn't a lot to some of you, but it is a substsntial amount to me.
-
Me too...lol. It only takes a couple of weeks of mowing what seems like at least every other day in the Spring to kill any thought of actually caring about my lawn. Then, there is the matter of mulch, tree and shrub trimming....................... I'd starve as a Landscaper...
-
I'm probably the odd guy on here... I hate lawn work... all of it. I love when my lawn turns brown in July and August so I don't have to mow every other day.

Planned 2030 Golf Ball Rollback
silver & black replied to PMookie's topic in Breaking News and Debate
They don't allow aluminum bats because MLB players are far superior to high school and college players. Aluminum bats produce too much speed off the bat in the hands of a MLB player. They are deemed too dangerous to be used... especially for pitchers that have to duck in a millisecond from a line drive at them. I'm pretty sure that no driver or ball is dangerous to other players on the course. MLB has curbed everything as it stands.... they didn't roll back anything. Golf should do the same. Again... just my .02. -
Planned 2030 Golf Ball Rollback
silver & black replied to PMookie's topic in Breaking News and Debate
Most of the advance in distance over the last 20 years is due to advancement in training/workout/nutrition.... so. yes.... advancement in athleticism. You need look no further than Bryson for proof of what advanced nutrition and workout specific routine/s can/does make.... it aint the ball. Equipment really hasn't changed all that much in 20 years (I know others will argue that) except for materials used and weight locations. Again.... I fail to see the reason/purpose for this roll back, at least for the stated reason/s. Being the conspiracy guy I tend to be (I trust no power entity) I believe there is a much more sinister...lol reason behind this. Anyone can feel free to flame me over my opinion.... I have thick skin... and I still think you all rock! -

Planned 2030 Golf Ball Rollback
silver & black replied to PMookie's topic in Breaking News and Debate
Okay, if that is true.... does 15 yards keep courses from being over powered? Does 15 yards ensure the integrity of the game is upheld? These guys can hit any iron from 5 on down with extreme accuracy and distance control. What did/does taking 15 yards away accomplish... other than using a bit more club? I still don't understand what this is really all about.... well, I have my opinion on what it's really all about, but that isn't this discussion. Bottom line: 15 or even 20 yards is negligable to the pros who are really just that good. This roll back doesn't accomplish anything, other than.............................. a different discussion. -
Planned 2030 Golf Ball Rollback
silver & black replied to PMookie's topic in Breaking News and Debate
I agree, I will not notice a 4 yard difference in distance. I just don't understand what the RB's are trying to achieve with this piddling amount of lost yardage. How will that "save" golf and the historic courses and preserve the integrity of the game? Again.... this is a solution looking for a problem, IMO. What am I missing that you and others seem to be privy to? -
Planned 2030 Golf Ball Rollback
silver & black replied to PMookie's topic in Breaking News and Debate
What good will chasing distance do if distance is no longer allowed? If they get the ball to where the distance is right now, what was the point of the roll back? Is the end game to get us all the way back to wound balls and hickory shafts? I'm just not getting what they are trying to achieve. The simplest thing to do would be to just let things be as they are. I will continue to play no matter what, so anything I think really doesn't matter...lol. I have nothing aginst electric cars, but neither they nor the country is ready for mass use of them. We'll just let this one alone. -
I never had a doubt as to which tour he would sign with. I'm sure he was/is compensated well. I know if I were a pro golfer, I would opt for the money. But.... having struggled quite bit in my life, probably sways my opinion on it.

I won't be watching... only because even though I'm retired, I still work every day, so Monday is out for me.
