What looked unfathomable years ago now looks like an appealing option if required to wear a mask.

yeah, I still wont wear a mask, but I have since purchased a few similar neck gaiters for other outdoor sports and activities such as hunting or backpacking. To me, if it is cold enough to have to wear one of those, I am not golfing. haha.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s strange when people talk about themselves in the third person? Yeah, yeah, I know it was copied & pasted, but it still looks weird.
Thanks for another fun and engaging episode guys. Will finally find out in 2 hours what kind of measures are in place at my course for post shelter in place rounds after 2 months of closure. Rail on iron head covers all you want but I will still use them and offer no apologies for doing so. ?

Gotcha, but either way, I was just saying that I figured he didn’t personally refer to himself in the 3rd person even though it looked that way.
On another note… a built in system to post for me? I need to start working on that, I guess. ;):cool:

I took some microbiology classes in college. One of my professors would do a “top 10 microbiological reasons to never go to Africa” every couple weeks. I learned then that in Africa everything from lions to flesh eating viruses is trying to kill you.. o_Oo_O

Something fishy
“…he beat Angelo Faux by six strokes to claim the crown.”
[ATTACH type=”full”]8943354[/ATTACH]
that’s what I like to call the golf being played with only a putter.
faux golf. May as well be a frisbee.
i mean he played the “D” bracket which in my area guys in the D bracket shoot 110, actually that division is usually handicapped and they get strokes.
so did he play the whole 18 holes with a putter? maybe he did and he knew he could win, which in return is a slap in the face for the D bracket guys and not cool.
imo i thought the whole thing was bush league…
ahhhhh did he get pops to shoot the 84?
Great listen covering a lot of topics. I think the COVIDIAN tips for playing golf have just gone off course. Wash your hands and dont share stuff. I did have a buddy pick up a ball and toss it back to me. I feel like it was fine, caught it in the towel and wiped it off. We talked about not picking up random broken tees on par 3s. Which is crazy as tees are what like 10cents a piece yet always use a broken one. :unsure::unsure:o_O. Also the guy doesnt like buying balls and wanted me to pick up a random golf ball(I have tons so I didnt want it) he made a comment how it wasnt good enough for me. I said its all yours, free with a hefty dose of COVID.
Where should I send these?

Nah in my opinion it’s an insult to the game regardless of the club. Do it on your own time, not in a tournament.

I don’t think there’s an exact number, but less clubs equals worse gapping and less opportunity to score, so going in with fewer than 14 clubs shows you’re not taking it seriously. I’d say first off you need a putter and a driving club (wood). Additionally, at a minimum I’ll say a hybrid/long iron, mid iron, short iron, and wedge. So 6 minimum. But even then I’d say that’s too few, so probably add another hybrid, a couple irons and a wedge to the mix.
[USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] and [USER=58068]@HipCheck[/USER]
Here is the overview of the course the “putter guy” played. I’ve not played this course, but know a few that have. there is not much elevation change so its rather flat and open course. there are some forced carries off the tee, but not after that. As for “brown out fairways” this is course is kept in ok condition, but remember this is Arizona and this year has been hot early so courses are rapidly falling out of prime season and transitioning to the summer bake out.
The high end course are watering enough that good golf still is out there, but this course is a casino resort course, so they could be really hurting for revenue during the Covid19 shutdown.

Maybe the guy had been having trouble with his irons and wedges (sh@nk!ng everything maybe) and it carried over to his confidence in his woods and hybrids, too. Maybe he felt that day, his best chance was to use the putter only.
