OT: Golf 2.0

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

There is literally 0 evidence golf is dangerous at all.

It's complete bullshit. I share an office with 2 people for nearly 8 hours a day, I have to still do that but I can't be outside with people anywhere.

The logic is complete bullshit and it's why so many people just choose not to listen.

Yep, along with telling kids they can’t play outdoor sports, this is complete BS. It’s incredible they can sit there and say all this with a straight face. Public trust is hovering pretty much near zero as these clowns just keep making shit up as they go along, in some desperate attempt to make it look like they know what they’re doing.


Edit, oh and let’s not forget, as we’ve been told multiple times by Pallister and Roussin....it’s all our fault.

I own businesses in Dallas, Houston, and Miami and its shocking how much different the approach has been by the elected officials and the citizens of those cities compared to Canada (Manitoba, and Ontario).

And after that 8 hour shift you can go stand in line at Costco / Walmart and shop with hundredes of strangers.

I have/had? my first round of the season scheduled with a friend for Sunday. Guess all is changing now. Just asking for a different friend - If they tee off alone and then get delayed by mother nature calling and their friend catches up them at the second hole and he doesn't wait for the first friend to tee off and clear the fairway (well, the rough/woods) before the second friend tees off and they are walking down the fairway 8 feet apart to their respective balls during their respective SEPARATE individual rounds....are the courses going to be taking pictures with spy cameras to send to the government to come get me - er, I mean my friend??

Another BS rule
I can’t golf at a distance with buddies but my wife can sit on a transit bus for 45 minutes in an enclosed area with multiple strangers every day.... yeah makes perfect sense to me

_________________________________________________

When is enough is enough of all this bull shit ?? How long are the people going to allow governments and officials who are getting paid full time, to shut down and close down businesses ?? This whole Virus thing has gotten way out of hand -- way, way out of hand.

How far can people and businesses be pushed to their limits before we start to see demonstrations, and some rioting maybe ?? I hope we do, and I hope politicians get the message. I'd love to attend a Giant "mask burning" party -- it would make my day.

Why even have a Vaccine, if it's not going to be respected as a cure ?? It's time to move on and get lives and businesses back to normal. I would have hated to be a kid, and brought up to think my fellow man, and women were all "diseased" and that I should wear a bloody mask, and not shake hands with friends etc. Governments are sending the wrong message to people, and it's time something happened.

I was listening to this guy from Norway, and he was saying masks have always been voluntary, and everyone is OK there, and he can't understand the way our western societies have shut down ? - I agree.

As Eyeseeing says here -- his wife can sit in an enclosed bus ?? so why would they allow that ?? My Barber owns a little Hair Shop, and has endured some very financially hard times. Also as Jets 31 says, his golf club lost huge money -- like $ 800,000, and climbing. Why are we allowing this to happen ??

When will the people finally say -- "we've had enough" -- no more masks, no more social distancing etc -- people have been vaccinated, and this game must STOP. I'm all for putting an end to this.

Remember the no politics rule, guys. I understand the frustration, but keep the commenting on the right line of that.

I said it the last time this topic came up, but I'm 99% sure that banning golf at this point is much more of a "Well, if we ban fun for others, golfers shouldn't have fun either" than based on any kind of scientific studies showing that outdoor transmission among groups of <=4 is through the roof.

Hopefully you're only locked out until Wednesday!

Yes, we know. Miss that other thread for these items....but yes. Get back to thinking about a big game 2 WITH PLD, and not the world of chaos and confusion and contradictions.

Did Karl Marx play golf... ?

Che and Fidel did...

Golf us dangerous to my liver as well as anyone standing near the tee box when I'm ready to tee off

Don't tempt them to suspend things that are dangerous for the livers of HFJets please.

Nice to see Canadian Cory Connors with the first round lead at the PGA Championship but then he said he's a huge Leafs fan after his round.

Mickelson one stroke lead over Koepka after third round. Final round will be be interesting to say the least

Yep. “Don’t worry. It’ll only be a week.” - March 15, 2020.

Are you saying "short and sharp" wasn't? LOL.

Some golf courses won't make it through this for sure. I've been talking to the pro and vice president of our course and we lost 800,000 dollars last year alone just by not having weddings and tournaments . Now this year no weddings , tournaments and we now can only golf in singles or same households , this is not going to be good.

The crazy thing is, even though it's bad for some people (i.e. the golf course owners), it's not like that 800,000$ disappeared. That disposable income was likely spent online to the coffers of some huge corporation like Amazon. Meanwhile people in the service industry who live on the margins suffer.

I am not coming over the top as much anymore. Back to the target people... Keep your back to the target

Heading out to Mars with Mrs. Eye today!
Built in excuse got 12 stitches in my right shoulder Friday so am playing off the forward tees and will take it easy.
Will see how it holds up.

Ok I’ll bite, how does one end up with 12 stitches in their shoulder?

A routine removal of cyst.
It’s in a good spot so I want to test it out with a easy swing day

mini golf would be an easy swing day

He really has been playing extremely well. Unfortunately it's Phil, so he might just be a couple of errand tee shots away from losing that lead.

 

[ps241]

Only got to the range one day this past week. Have to get back to 3 this week. I am going to embrace some practice in a light rain if need be.

Hope you guys are getting in rounds.

I might be adding in a Tuesday game some weeks (provisions willing). I have had the same work out partner for 23 years and we are thinking of taking our act to the links.

Played Friday, 37 front and was doing decent on the back 9 and then it started raining, finished double, double, par , bogey. God i hate playing in rain, tough to keep the hands dry and i don't really care for those rain gloves. Hope the restrictions are lifted for Wednesday.

I don't watch much golf but it would be really cool if Mickelson can get the win.
