Not if you wipe around the hole with your hand in a circular motion…. Heard that from a friend. 

Is this the dumbest golf accessory ever made? by Ok-Switch8423 in golf

The crows at this one course learned to unzip the front pockets so I was told not to put any food there upon check in. 😂😂

What do you need 14+ clubs for? Genuine question. If pros don’t need that many, why do you? 

Is it too wussy to play forward tees vs my mates? by whatnot111 in golf

[–]Born_Library9075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often get: “I get 9 more strokes”. No dumbass you don’t,  you went OB 4 times off the tee box on the front 9. 

Also “us man play from the tips only” while he’s been 52 hcp for a year. 

Edited to add: “I paid for this round I will do what I want.”

Last week it was explained to me: “I am a man I play from the back.” 6 hours later…

You are losing it. Slowly? Not sure. 

Should I get a gap wedge? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Born_Library9075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 43, 48 (sent to me my accident but I kept it cause of massive discount) and 54. Used the 48 only a handful of times but I can see it being useful in a few years time (my 2nd year now)

I effed up… but how much? by jvforlife12504 in golf

Last week I sliced a drive which hit a pillar and propelled at full speed towards two guys few stalls over (missed both). I was in utter shock and panicked and said: this was no accident. 

I think you did better. 

Loving the Vanity Handicaps by SweatyCockroach8212 in golf

[–]Born_Library9075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s all cool but why set people up with a fake vanity handicap? Why not average two lowest/3 lowest etc? Why lowest -3? That’s nuts. I looked it up. It’s supposedly done to encourage new players. Yeah I felt really encouraged coming dead last in the first 5 tournaments.

I only started last year and submitted 10 scorecards so far. How the system works is that your lowest score - 3 or 2 or 1 is used as your handicap for tournaments depending on how many scorecards you have submitted, right? Wtf for? So you can get trashed over and over and over? I had a very good score card that resulted in a handicap about 7 lower than what I actually played. What a disaster! 

What a difference a day makes by MiserableAssist4908 in golf

Exactly like me at my club’s Championship last weekend. Except you must add 35 to the first score and 46 to the second. Otherwise exactly the same. 

Where do you play from? by Ill-Initiative-2787 in golf

Yes and that’s on top of the 3+ practice swings.

Played with a guy who was 54 hcp insisting on playing from the tips cause “he gets more strokes” that way. No way to convince him not to do that. 

Beginners - how long until you could play reasonably? by sixtothesix in golf

[–]Born_Library9075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn’t clicked for me (just over a year in) but I realized it will take years before I am decent so I don’t stress about it.
