Ketchup on hot dogs is the only way.


You can stop making ketchup and I would be fine with that.

Sauerkraut, onions, and spicy mustard for my hot dogs.

That was a great thread. Maybe some of us need to search before making similar topics. Being a weight lifter isn’t really a huge sports movement like golf. Nor does it require amazing dexterity and coordination. Basically you lift all day long and eat super healthy. Than just let nature take its course. Where playing golf at the highest levels is just a gift that only an extremely small group can understand. Those guys and gals are really that talented. And would probably succeed at many other sports activities as well. Now for high caps like me it’s not so much an athletic sport. It’s more survival and hoping that weeks tip will at least last a few holes. Boy would I love too have a pros game for at least 9 holes. Experiencing what they feel on every shot

Maybe he's referring to actually lifting of weights where there likely aren't as many guys who are benching a lot of weight.  However, that's only me trying to find any justification for this guy.  

I would say that the exact opposite is true from what I've seen on tour and even in the college ranks at the bigger D1 programs.  Fitness is a HUGE part of their programs and daily routines.  Maybe you don't want to trade bodies with them, but I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't want a body like a Brooks Koepka, who basically looks like a Mens Fitness model. 

Give me a break

Guys like the late Rich Piana, Bradley Martin, Kai Greene, Sadik Hadzovic and the list goes on and on of pro lifters. These guys are about bulk and mass. Where as a pro golfer is about functional core muscles. Sure, the look isn’t as impressive as the list of studs above. But I assure you that it is perfect for a game like golf. It’s about precision and repetition. If your looking for natural bulk  or power lifter  show looks. You will never find this on any golf tour. But you will find many in great cardio yoga driven builds. This isn’t a sport about 55 dumbbell curls and 300 lbs bench press. It’s about medicine ball / lunges / cable and elastic band workouts
Having a back that one can use as a movie screen isnt golf. Or needed for playing the level these guys do. The lifters have a look that works great on a beach. But won’t be very effective on a golf course 

Well stated

It’s common on all forums of any type.The original op’s drop a topic and you never hear from them again.Almost as bad as the people that never flush the toilet after they do their thing.

Mr Kopeka must have read this thread and got angered. He is currently -7 and lapping the field at the PGA

That's brilliant! Koepka's caddy makes a post on Koepka's favorite golf forum (MGS) under a fake name (Edveed) talking about golfers being wusses.. Koepka reads the post, gets all fired up and wins the Championship.. Caddy gets 10%. Well played sir!

Not looking to start a conflict but immediately posts a topic that will definitely start a conflict. LOL

Look, I'm not one you'd call athletic in terms of my physique, but I can tell you as someone who's played a lot of sports growing up and done them all at very high levels, golf was by far the hardest sport I ever learned how to play. Athleticism doesn't make a good golfer. It can help but it's not the be all end all.

And why should that even matter? If you're capable of playing on tour, who gives a hoot what your physique is? Plus there's more than a few examples of guys playing on tour who would be considered athletes at any level and that didn't stop the Johnny Millers of the world from criticizing them for getting too jacked.

It's a pointless argument to make. Golf isn't a sport that demands the perfect physique. That should be celebrated because it means anyone can make it to the professional level regardless if they're 350lbs or 150lbs. It doesn't matter. If you're good at golf, you're good at golf. Period.

I understand where you're going here. I have a friend who is not weak, but smaller than the rest of us. He may not be as "strong" as the rest of us, but he can and will occasionally hit the ball farther than us. And the reason I believe is his technique is slightly better than ours sometimes.
