out of curiosity, if anyone happens to know, has anyone playing with an exemption ever won?

[Skuzzy]

Nicely put Golfer.

I agree 100%.  Oh,..I don't need that exemption.  I would not walk onto a course with a pager or cell phone.  I hate those things as much as you do.  Only emergency personnel should be allowed to carry those onto a course.

I pull my own bag around.  Won't play on a 'cart only' course.  I like the walk, and it gives me a bit of time to think about that next shot.

I am no where near a pro golfer.   I caddied for my Dad when I was growing up.


Like I have said, once you are on the tee, the sex of the player is irrelevant.

[Sandman]

...and because you mentioned sex.

Golf is like sex. You don't have to be any good at it to enjoy it.

True Sandman


Hmmm,..that feels wrong on soooo many levels.

[Sandman]

It becomes easier over time... just repeat after me:

"You're right, Sandman."

..and continue until the feeling of unease has passed.

[Hangtime]

Golf is not a sport.

correct.  it's only a hobby. that phrase could also be golfs mantra.

And, they call it 'golf' because the other 4 letter swear words were already taken.

OTOH, women do have a function to perform in golf..

A guy stood over his tee shot for what seemed an eternity; looking up, looking down, measuring the distance, figuring the wind direction and speed. He was driving his partner nuts. Finally his exasperated partner says, "What's taking so long? Hit the blasted ball!"

The guy answers, "My wife is up there watching me from the clubhouse. I want to make this a perfect shot."

"Forget it, man. You don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of hitting her from here!"

.. as targets.

 Got my first golf clubs ever for christmas, I haven't been to a driving range yet (never played at all) but am hoping to play at this years con.

 Just wear hard hats...it'll all be fine.

[Golfer]

Anybody else takes mine.

Low Net wins...any takers?  

Entry Fee....$100,000

-edit- Hitech, I'll play you for "pink slips"  I win, I get your RV8, You win, you get my...um...car!  sight unseen in both cases

[Kanth]

Golfer seriously if you play near me, you may end up with a handicap.

 I'm not the most graceful person ever, then add a long metal stick with a lobe at the end and there's bound to be trouble.

Putting more than anything else determines how well one will do in a game.
What's that old saying? "Drive for show, putt for dough."

[Golfer]

I once won a junior tournament while hitting 2 fairways, one of which wasnt the hole i was on, so statistics show i hit only one fairway.  I did however, hit 14 greens in regulation (including the "accidental" fairway hole) while posting 68.   In the words of the second place finisher (also in my group, hitting many more fairways than I) "i hit it in the funk"  

Still remember that day...it was HOT.


Anyways...yes...the greens are where you score and around the greens is where you save your score.  (my words when it comes to short game)
