Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

According to Barstool Sports and their rumor mill, Rory called off his engagement because he was banging another chick on a glass table and it shattered, cutting her up pretty badly and giving him a bunch of scratches. Supposedly, that's why he wore long sleeves during the BMW the next week. I guess he realized he couldn't be banging whores on the side without consequences.
Nice.
In fairness, he seems to play better when he's banging whores and not locked down. [Reply]
No sport has gotten a bigger pass on the impropriety of their players more than golf. The history of the tour is essentially a history of barnstorming, alcoholic womanizers.
Please. These women are major jock sniffers. You can go out on the Web.com tournaments and see young chicks in sundresses following the players around. They view them as future meal tickets. And any "marriage" you break up wasn't a real marriage anyway if the woman is looking to drop her clothes off and spread her legs for another man. Those aren't wives, they're called whores. [Reply]

I actually a agree with a lot of what you're saying.
If these guys were in cubicle farms, I doubt the following women would use them as a meat shield, let alone let them plow with impunity.

I was just at the Web last weekend. There were some girls - not a ton but they were there - following the guys in short skirts and smiling a lot. Either they were their girlfriends traveling with them to sunny Leawood KS (lol) or they were sniffers.

I dunno, Donald is a handsome guy with a Northwestern education and millions in the bank. If he can't pull nobody can. Amy Mickelson & Amanda Duf are legit wives who married their guys early. But skeezers like Mrs Mahan and Elin Nordegren were nothing but sniffers and gold diggers. [Reply]

This is a timely discussion as one guy in our golfing foursome is dealing with his wife's affair. With a guy at their church to top it off. Like the DJ and Arnie stories, the guy is talking about the other man constantly and what a prick he was. No matter how often we tie it back to his own wife's behavior, it goes right back to the "other man".
Men can't deal with their wives cheating and it's easier to blame it on a devious poon-hound. Because no man wants to admit there's something his own wife found lacking in himself.
This guy even went so far as to say he wants to keep his marriage alive because he doesn't want his daughters to think badly of their mother. Worried about the mother's reputation at a time like this is the last thing I'd be thinking. Insanity. [Reply]

For example:
I know everyone hates Jim Rome, but he says it best with "You don't know these guys."
I'm still kinda floored that Peyton Manning is semi-notorious for banging chicks in every NFL city and his wife tacitly approving of said shenanigans. [Reply]
I've lowered my index from 21 to 14 since March. My goal at the beginning of the year was to break 90, and I've done it 9 times including a career low 80.
The last two rounds have been a dumpster fire though. 92 and 99. I was so frustrated today I started hitting 3W off the tee regardless of the length of the hole. Started to play a bit better.
Anyone ever thought of benching the driver for good? [Reply]

Before I had a TEE, I never had a three wood I hit well enough for it to be an option, save for when I was younger and a complete hacker and hit a Yonex 4 wood off of almost every tee.
I probably shouldn't hit a driver at the course where I play, simply because it only gets me into trouble. On a 370 yard Par 4, what's the difference between hitting a pitching wedge or lob wedge?
Two questions: 1) what is your driver, and 2) what is your issue with it off the tee?
Also, if you've only broken 90 nine times this year, a 92 isn't necessarily a dumpster fire, even though it is infuriating.
Shit, I've gone 38-48 so many times I should file for a patent on it.
My first thought is that you should track down a thriver, like the old Hi-Bore that was 13-15* or the Cobra Long Tom and change the shaft out in the POS.
Also, since you aren't the tallest guy in the world (no offense intended), maybe just put a 43" shaft in your driver. [Reply]
When things are bad, I hit sweeping hooks with the driver.
I just picked up a TEE XCG6 3-wood and I nuke the piss out of it. Thinking of ditching the driver and picking up one of their 11.5 models.
Shortening the shaft in the driver is pointless, I'm already only 10 yards or so short with 3W. Hell, an 11.5 might be longer for me than driver. [Reply]
If you struggle with hitting fairway woods, get yourself a Tour Edge Exotics XCG6.
I hit a few three woods and a five wood better than anything in my life today. Forgiving and ridiculously hot. Stupid easy off the deck, and an absolute cannon off the tee. [Reply]
