@RaphaelEivots On the other hand, scar tissue is a sign of a battle fought, a wound created, and healed. We are all scarred physically, mentally, and metaphorically. God is our healer, inside and out.

Scar tissue prevents healing

Maybe I'm bad at golf because I can't hear the course/hole ask me questions

@DivotDoctrine My heart wants Rose, my head says Cam Young. I could see Scheffler going lights out, I could see Rory hanging on. One thing for sure - Augusta is gonna hurt someone and reward someone else. Will be a great final round!

Well we have ourselves a shootout for the green jacket tomorrow, who is winning?

@MMGOLFSTUDIOS By left, if you mean right, I agree.

EVERYTHING goes in the left pocket. (Everything is divot tool, 1 tee, coin)

@MidwestGolfJake Our good friend Mr. Brauer is the master of the drivable 4. Still, I'm having hard actually reaching them as well.

@RoyClark381 Yup, that's about perfect. I like 1-2 reachable 5s and one reachable 4. Sadly most courses reachable 4 plays 310 or do. So it's not reachable.

Watching the ANWA was a good reality check for those of us (i.e. most of us) with swing speeds 100 mph or less. These are the yardages the 4 par 5s played at the ANWA today. -Hole 2 (Pink Dogwood): 515 yards -Hole 8 (Yellow Jasmine): 480 yards -Hole 13 (Azalea): 455 yards -Hole 15 (Firethorn): 475 yards For the vast majority of golfers, these are the distances par 5s need to be to be reached in 2 shots. While we're at it, a driveable par 4 for the vast majority of golfers is 260 yards or less. I know this is X where everyone hits it 330. But if you're following me, you know I don't hit it that far. The best thing for my game has been being realistic about my distances and playing tees that are challenging yet still give me a chance to take a few shots on.

@KipHenley I carry an old water bottle with tap water for mine

Hate a dirty golf towel. I won’t even dip em in a creek.

@Neely1751 Hahahaha, I understand the thought. One reason I only use black for clubs

@RoyClark381 The first time my wife saw my towel when I brought it in the house to wash, she looked concerned because it had “that” look. I asked, what’s wrong and she asked, did you have an accident? No, Why? It looks like poop stains all over your towel. The rest is history!!!

Do any other golfers wash their towel after every round?

@KipHenley We have the definitive answer here! Thanks for weighing in Uncle Kip!!

@RoyClark381 🖐️

Appetizers

@colinarmi Finding folks handle their towels in many different ways

@RoyClark381 You’re supposed to wash that thing? I maybe do once every other month

@GaryLongtin Like to keep it clean. Tons of clay around. It's like mud glue.

@RoyClark381 What? Why?

@CrumblingDad Mate! That's how you grow mushrooms!

@DivotDoctrine 🤣🤣 Yes! Have to let them know when they are following company culture!

@RoyClark381 Yep, might give my putter in timeout and bring back the ex for a round

I can't putt to save my life

@DivotDoctrine I get that. It's like the 2-way miss. Everything feels wrong and it's hard to stay positive when that happens. I used to chase swing changes after those days, but now I chalk it up to body being off and reset.

@RoyClark381 Both and it mentally demoralized me by the 12th hole lol

@zagnut That's my motivation. I also clean clubs after every round.

@RoyClark381 Well I do believe in buying nice things and taking care of them so it’s a bit of a slip up there.

@zagnut No right way, I just see a bunch of dirty ones in pics. Made me think.

@RoyClark381 No and I should clean it more.

@CrumblingDad When I take too long off (like now), I remember how easy leg days are and jump back in.

@zagnut I support this. How do we eliminate golf products made by non-golfers?

@RoyClark381 My instinct is we have to undermine it and flood this market with actually useful things. But I’m not sure that exists.

I believe there’s a cottage industry (possible conspiracy) of golf related crap that no golfer would EVER buy, but is targeted at women with a husband/boyfriend/kid that “is obsessed with golf” and looks like something “he’ll get a kick out of”. 🤣

@Golfingbrock Shrink trees and Earth rotation!!

@RoyClark381 Hate when the trees rotate into my line

Confession: sometimes I rush my read and don’t even account for the lunar cycle, tide levels, barometric pressure, axial tilt, or tectonic plate drift. Basically putting blind out there.
