Good Lord Louisiana is so trashy thinking this is a bad thing. You do realize when you get out of the southeast, life doesn’t center around getting drunk don’t you?

That’s a nationwide statistic pointing out drinking is down nationwide you idiot.

And yes, I do think high school kids drinking less is a bad thing not a good thing, not because I think high school kids should all be getting drunk but because I think high school kids should be spending time together having fun

But are they drinking?

The 10yr olds? :lol:

They’re not THAT cool
I’ve been a teacher for the last 15 years and I’ve had a first row seat to the collapse of kids ability to socialize with each other and have fun. A stat came out that 40% of high school graduates this year have never tried alcohol. Which isn’t a sign that high school kids are being more careful, it’s a sign that high school kids don’t know how to have fun and socialize.

Anyway, I think the generation below them is going to be OK. I see kids under 12 outside everywhere, riding those electric bikes and trying to kill themselves, fishing, running around unsupervised, just being kids. Likewise, the younger kids are so much more social in school now, so many more obnoxious boys and gossip girls who get in trouble because all they wanna do is have fun with their friends. In my mind, these are great qualities and a hopeful sign that maybe the kids are going to be all right.

Do you have any idea on how old of a ping prodi g driver I can buy and still get the new tech? I know I am being a cheap arse, but I still don’t like the thought of buying my 7 year-old a $250 club.

US Kids sells everything individually on their website, they have a TOUR SERIES driver that is pretty good. Not terribly expensive. All US Kids is fit by height.

Cool thanks!

How tall is your son? Mine is 10 and a little over 5ft. I bought him one of those Snake Eyes kid sets and the driver is perfect for him.

He’s only 7, he’s 4’5”

He doesn’t need a new set his irons fit him fine but I’ve seen the snake eyes they look good
How is the Prodi G? I saw a bunch of those online I’ve never even heard of them

Junior golf driver help

Posted by Tiger1242 on 5/21/26 at 7:26 am
My 7 yr old son is getting obsessed with golf, he wants to go to the driving range at the club all the time, plate 9 holes with me (teeing off from 100-125 yds), he loves it.

He’s got US-kids clubs that are fine and wedges/3wood that are the right size for him. His driver however is too small and it’s old. I want to get him a new driver, I know how much a good driver can help your game and how much he would LOVE having one. But I also am not looking to spend $500 on a 7yr olds driver…

Anyone know where I can get a good used kids driver that isn’t going to bankrupt me?

Those 30-50 yard wedge shots are freaking hard bro don’t beat yourself up.

Screw the stat guys that say statistically you’re better from 30yds than 80 yds. That may be true on well struck shots, but I’m twice as likely to chunk or skull it from 30…
Guys he took off the hoodie, the national crisis is over
I think it’s the color of it or material, just looks like a crappy old baseball hoodie, the other guys look more presentable

Bc you don’t like him?

I like Jon Rahm :dunno:
Hoodies on their own don’t bother me at all. His just looks especially bad to me for some reason
They’ve come out with some golf clothes that are more comfortable and casual but still look the part overall. Hell I’ve even played a few rounds in joggers on public courses, I’m not a golf dress code warrior…

That being said, Jon Rahm is at the PGA Championship straight up in a grey hoodie that looks like something I’d wear to walk my dog in the morning.

Couldn’t find a picture but watch this video at the 0:25 mark.

Some people need a good ostracizing

This is actually pretty much the point I’m trying to make and maybe didn’t explain it well.

We can be an accepting society while still ostracizing freaks and judging people who are crazy or make insane choices
Not sure how this post will be taken but here it goes.

I agree that society had some issues with equality and access in the past and like the idea of fixing those issues, people should be able to be whatever without being ostracized or whatever.

At the same time we have way overcorrected. People who are different shouldn’t be told or promoted that they aren’t different, different is fine, but it’s still different. Society is so soft today and we are teaching people that they should want to be different and celebrate that which isn’t a good thing.

Basically what I’m saying is IMO society needs to get to a point that it’s fine to be different, live your life and be yourself, at the same time people should know that choosing to be different means certain things will be harder for you and some people might judge you, if you’re okay with that, go for it.

I’m trying to remember. I feel like I said it every day in elementary school and maybe stopped in Middle School?
quote:

These chicks are completely innocent and trapped. Let’s face it and be fair, when in high school if anyone had a mid OT5 or above teacher we were constantly hitting on her or had bets if anyone could ‘get up in that’.

I lost a bet to my football teammates trying to ease up in the new English teacher. Flirted with her constantly, but she resisted.

Teachers aren’t ’taking advantage’ they are falling victim unless it’s less than an OT5 and middle school type shite.

This is a crazy take
Hot take: golf tournaments are so much more fun to watch when this is the case.

The masters in 2023 when they went off in 3somes off of both tees was crazy good TV
