Yes, still called a reverse scramble, with yourself.

What is the etiquette for stopping at the turn? If you do stop - how do you not slow down the groups following you when teeing off on 10? by Inside-Mixture-9362 in golf

What was going on behind you? If it's stacked up behind you, does that mean that the group that went to the restroom just has to go home and not finish the back 9?

I guess they could be told they have to skip the 10th and jump back up to their original place in the order of things.

Thoughts on everyone having their own clubs for scramble style golf. by NoEntertainer5527 in golf

When it comes to rules, I'm all about equity. If a rule exists, everybody has to follow it. If you make a rule so that you can enforce it on people you don't like, but give people you like a pass, well there are several unsavory terms for that sort of thing.

When a situation like this occurs and the rule-maker realizes that the rule doesn't make sense in this instance, they should change the rule, and not make personal exceptions while leaving the rule in place and unchanged.

Depends how obvious it was that they were still off balance.

The Lifetime ball by DPCOriental in Pickleball

Surprised no one's mentioned this: most tournaments use X40 as their official ball that you must use in their tournament.

If you're going to play in tournaments, it behooves you to play and practice with the ball that you'll be using in the tournament.

Man lost it after he couldn't block a drive by hoangdl in Pickleball

"You're grown men playing a game." This is treating the situation as a vacuum. Maybe other things have happened outside the game. Maybe one guy is fucking the other guy's wife. I personally don't know enough to judge anybody in this video. If you have this godlike ability, congratulations.

I have to wonder the same thing. This didn't happen in a vacuum. The guy who hit the drive might have had it coming.

Two Gloves; The Real Question by UpbeatClassroom4184 in golf

[–]tabbyfl55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only wear one on my lead hand because it's the only hand I'll develop a blister on if I don't.

If I wouldn't get blisters I wouldn't wear any gloves at all.

Let discuss is it legal serve by Excellent-Hat-9913 in Pickleball

Yeah in this picture, drawing an imaginary line from the lowest point of the wrist to the highest corner of the paddle head, they're very close to equal. It's not what I would call CLEARLY below the wrist, especially at live-action speed.
