2. picking up a towel.
3.thinking about lifting a bag of concrete.

The reason the majors today are "majors" is because Arnold Palmer said they were.
So, there's no body that invents a major, the best golfers in the world need only agree.
Personally, I would prefer a 5th major that globe trots a bit over the PGA or some other stationary tournament.

Crazy sooo play the us open masters PGA and British Open in China..
Just can’t stop stupid
Dave Lettieri@golfinklings
It’s amazing that people will say this, which is a reasonable opinion, and then suggest that it’s not the R&A that should bring its major to Australia. Which of the 4 organizations that runs a major maintains jurisdiction in Australia?
English
@SHistorians @andrewjcarr29 That's what the English do- if they like something from Scotland or Wales (or Ireland or Canada...), it becomes "British"
English
@andrewjcarr29 I have a unproven theory that calling it the “British Open” a term that started after Vardon and Taylor started as part of UK centric thinking.
English
If you are excited about the Open, or you are a person who still says “British Open” and hate to get admonished for it.
Take a minute to read our SOCIETY Newsletter where we share the history of the title “The British Open.” It’s easy to blame Americans for the use, but as the article shows…it’s not all our fault.
FYI Scottish newspapers were calling it the British Open only 2 years after the first American Newspaper did in 1900.
FYI - it is “the Open,” but we shine a light on the looked down upon name- all in good fun!
(As an aside Americans didn’t invent the word “soccer” either…when someone gets mad at you for using the word soccer, remind them it’s a British Term not an American one)

Have to let your playing partners know how to pay you after you beat them. Incredible move.

Get a bagel with a top pocket (Sun Mountain has a good magnet clasped one) and get in the habit of that being the only place the rangefinder is put.
You're going to your bag anyway...

Lost my 2nd range finder this year. (It was a cheaper one because I knew it was inevitable) Before I buy this next one has anyone found anything beyond being a better adult that keeps you from losing them?

@cpgjosh @BigSwingTempo Once a year, I'll will play a worst ball with myself (only 2 balls- three is a lot of work!)
It really helps focus.

@BigSwingTempo Ways to improve score (imho) in order:
- Play a round with your coach
- Play a round by yourself, use 3 balls & play best ball
- Driving range with coach
- Play a round with randos
- Driving range by yourself
English
Should a golfer trying to improve their scores practice on the range more, or play more rounds?
I’m trying to find the right balance between the range and playing.
English
@BigSwingTempo Play rounds of golf, you can't learn to score on the range.
Use the range to work on specific issues you find on the course.
English
Want to raise your handicap (legitimately)?
Play these golf courses at 6400 and hit driver all day.
And hit provisionals when you hit it in the trees.

Just shot a 78 which counts as a 8.0 diff. Noone will ever understand how difficult northeast courses with trees are lol.
English
@eighteenholes18 Yeah, the old words are more fun.
So most golfers still use them.
The rules never included "it's in the drink" to connote a ball having come to rest in the wettest penalty area, a glaring oversight by the R&A.
English
Fun fact: After more than 250 years in the Rules of Golf, the word "hazard" disappeared in 2019. Golfers still use it every day, but officially there are now only bunkers and penalty areas. The term "hazard" no longer exists in the Rules. ⛳📖

@keepmovin2020 Not a fan of the cut fee, im willing to buy your cigars, but im not paying you to enjoy my own cigars.

@jamierkennedy @ChrisGotterup I would not call that unorthodox, many good putters use that technique.
English
Among the many unorthodox things that @ChrisGotterup does.
Sits his putter toe on the ground with the heel raised.
(For what it's worth, he holed this)

@CarsleyGolf This reminded me of a ball I found 2 years ago on a cart path in Florida (no, the picture is not distorted 🤣):

@cpgjosh Nah bro but what if someone wears an untucked polo at a muni???

I understand the #shrinkthegame idea, and even agree with it to some extent.
I don’t understand the hysteria from the X Golf gatekeeper crowd.
75% of beginners fail to commit to golf. Golf doesn’t need your gatekeeping, it’s difficulty is the gatekeeping. Chill out.

@OwenGregorian As the Allman brothers so aptly stated "Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before"

Nobody their age does the things we used to do with and in cars.

Yet another friend with a child turning 16 next week. Hasn’t gotten a learner’s permit. Zero interest in a driver’s license. I keep hearing this same story. What’s WRONG with these kids?!?! On my 16th birthday, my mom took me out of school to take my driving test. Same for everyone I knew. Even if you couldn’t afford your own car, you could beg the use of the family station wagon occasionally. Freedom. Independence. Heck, privacy on a date! Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?
