Hey Weave, go ahead and cheat. Almost everyone does. And that was my point. And those who disputed that point are looking like idiots on this thread. And if you would like to continue looking like an idiot keep disputing my point.


K bro.

Unlike you, I've played with a multitude of people from this board, so I'm not worried about what they think about me. They know I don't cheat.

Glad to hear it. Hope you break 70 next week. Allow me to tell you a true story about Richard.

Richard was a truck driver. He was unloading a bunch of GM cars from his rig when one of them rolled over his leg. He almost died. During a year of rehab people kept giving him golf balls telling him that he would some day play golf again.

He was a big guy.. about 6-4, 250. At age 66 I met him in the gym after he had gone through extensive rehab. I invited him to play golf with me.

He had a huge settlement with the insurance company and bought a new truck and a new set of Ping Golf Clubs that he ordered from their office in Arizona.

Richard had some simple rules...If you hit the ball in the rough, it doesn't count. Because he had 1,000 balls from gifts during his rehab.

If your putt was within 3 feet of the hole it was a gimme.

I played strict rules and it offended him. I wouldn't argue with him because of what he had gone through.

On our last round (3 years ago) he shot an 88 at Querbes in Shreveport. He had never broken 90 in his life. He gave me the score card and asked me to sign it. I did.

By strict rules Richard shot a 110.

My mom loves to watch TV golf and has never stepped on a course in her life. OTOH I am not a fan of golf, either as spectator or participant.

I could say "It's cheating." But instead...


Translation: You're the dude holding shite up!

I bet you plumb-bob 2 footers for your 4th putts too.
