For non golf use off the course I have a couple pairs from Jacques Marie Mage, two pairs from Dita out of Japan and 2 pairs of Tom Ford which are made by Dita.
The Jacques Marie Mage and Tom Ford are acetate frames and Dita are metal frames with tungsten nose pieces.

Just finishing on promo vinyl for the 4th side of Fleetwood Mac in Chicago.  Peter Green along with bluesmen such as Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Shakey Horton and others.
The sound quality of the vinyl is the icing on the cake.  

After 3 years of no golf I have gone to the driving range a few times the last couple of weeks.
Have always been poor with the driver and today started to straighten out with the club.  Hopefully this will carry over when I start playing.

What I do not understand are all the people who have a handicap.  If you are moving your ball then your score and handicap is not correct.
 

So fundamentally change the concept of golf and play it al it lies. No thanks. But if one wants to do that they can either under the current rules for preferred lies or just play for fun, don’t keep a handicap and pick what rules to follow and what not, even make up rules if they choose

Considering they made rule changes a few years back that as I stated in the distance thread were actually good updates and were one of their few wins, if there was a way to write the rule that could be easily applied by all golfers and rules officials they probably would have done it considering as Dave pointed out they have looked at the rule. 
 
Its been asked several times in all the threads for anyone supporting relief from a divot to write the clean and concise rule, to date nobody has because it’s impossible to state when a divot is no longer a divot that gets relief that everyone looking at it would agree. But it also gets away from the principle of play the ball as it lies. Once you get into divot relief and the debate over what is or isn’t a divot or what was a divot or some other abnormality with the ground you end up in what equates to preferred lies and that gets away from the principle of play it as it lies.
In the game of golf you have to take the good with the bad. Just as I pointed out with the flag stick scenario. Or we can use a sprinkler head. Hit a good shot it hits the sprinkler head and ends up in a bad lie or depending on the course out of play in a hazard or on, while someone else hits it and gets a good bounce. I’ll say it again there’s nothing fair in life or golf. 
 

There is nothing fair in life or golf. Two golfers can hit the same tree and get two different results. That’s not fair but there’s nothing one can do about it.
its not fair one golfer can hit the ball farther than another. Its not fair that one golfer is a better putter than another.
its not fair that two golfers can hit the same flagstick and one could get the ball to go in and the other has their ball kick across the green.
Whats fair in golf is that we all play under the same rules and that there is confidence those keeping handicaps are playing by the same rules as the rest of those keeping handicaps. The rules are applied fairly for all golfers.
One has to accept the good and the bad. If someone wants perfect lies they can play in a simulator. The game of golf is meant to play the ball as it lies, good or bad
 One doesn’t have to play from a divot, they can declare it unplayable and move it within the rules of golf .
Lastly the number of times a golfer find themselves in a divot is very small. I can’t remember then last time I was in a divot

Well, for me this is an easy one. And perhaps admittedly speaks to my golf mental health.
I never play in tournaments or for money (some charity scrambles for the cause). In my experience of 30 yrs, there are just too many of these people around. It’s not why I play or what draws me to the game.
I find that if you’re so consumed by saying you won the 14th flight of your club championship and you need to “cheat” to do it, then I don’t need to play with you. I’ve been in rounds where a player in my group is admittedly massaging his index for an upcoming trip with lots of money on the line. When one plays 4-5 rounds a week, it’s pretty easy to move the needle +/- 3-5 points. That’s too much mental hopscotch for me.
In fact, I recently figured out how much more I enjoy the game since I stopped posting scores about 4 yrs ago. I know what I shoot and I play for my own personal expectations.
 

Hit golf balls into a net in my basement today for the first time in 3 years.

Picked up another JLindeberg golf polo as well as two G Fore polos.  Also picked up another Dormie driver head cover from my course to use on my back up set go clubs.
