Tiger Woods wins 3 Espy's

ahh but that swing has been ingrained over years of practice...

EVERY swing is different no matter how many times you've practiced. the lie is different, the wind, the hole location, the air temp (affects ball flight), . . . there are a myriad of variables that are different for EVERY swing/putt. Since you don't play seriously this may be hard to grasp.



mx that split decision can not be practiced and ingrained.

So if they can't practice, why do they ride when their not racing? Don't they practice hour upon hour so they CAN make these split decisions?

Yes but like basketball, etc it is muscle memory and you practice differnt lies, etc.

Yes you do practice for hours if you can...but you can not practice coming off a jump and having 4 guys piled up on the landing...you can practice Augusta, hole 4 from the right side 5 yards into the rough with a cross wind.

Much easier to practice variables for a golf shot then for a live race.
 
Since you don't play seriously -correction, I used to play seriously and now I don't play at all!

It's too bad you quit golf, was it because you got tired of whipping Tiger or all of the fat out of shape guys at the club whipping you?

No it was because I took up water skiing. I'd rather spend 2 hours on the water then on the course...and I couldn't afford sledding, skiing and golf.

ohh and to many self righteous guys on the course.

Last time I played my brother nutted a 7 iron from behing a hill, blind shot. Wanted to just get up and out, ended up hitting onto the green...never hit a 7 that far or good. I yelled Four and they guy on the green got pissed a threw by bros ball into the woods. I told my bro and we played my ball to the green and asked the guy if he had seen the ball...He says Nope so i called him on it and he freaked out and yelled at us about rules and respect and courtesy...We told him it was a freak luck shot and I kindly pointed out that I yelled four...he just got more pissed so we played ahead and I haven't been back since. Way to many guys like that, or guys who would get pissed if I was struggling when I started(on like a thursday morning) or if you had a new player with who held them up...even were dicks when you let them play through.

Just a simple fact that for me the dicks out numbered the friendly golfers and I have yet to run into a dick hole of a skier.

That's too bad you had a few bad experiances. I've ran into people like that too, but you just have to blow them off. There's dicks in everything you do. You'll get in skiing too, just give it time. For us amatures, golf's a way to get away from the wife, drink some beer, and let off some steem by hitting a ball. RLG sent me a text today, saying he's on his way to the golf course to play a round. lol!

Get hit by a golf ball and lets see how pissed you would be, or how pissed you would be when one gets close. I've been hit and it hurts like hell. That was just in the leg. You hit someone in the chest or head and death is not at all unlikely.
 
If the airplane would have been a fat golfer, would it have still left the conveyor belt?:rolleyes:
 
honestly if your under 200 yards and hittin a 7 iron you wait till after they leave green unless you chipping it out. anybody that has golfed more than once plans for best shot. i have been hit into and thrown balls back because it is rude you plan for the best shot you ever hit and if its remotely possible that you might come close to them you wait

never said it was under 200 and he had never hit one like that, and never thought he would. You seem to be perpetuating why I quit.

Oh and that NFL lineman plays for maybe 60 seconds maybe, more like 30 and then rests for 2 minutes...I think you wanted to use maybe a hockey player as your example.
 
xrated I read Ping's artical and I am trying to find it on line to past or link it. He hit the nail on the head with that one:beer;
