I prefer the more direct and factually accurate approach of "stop being a lazy pudendum and start practicing."

right on.

Which is followed by them going to the driving range and slicing 200 balls in a row.

LL,

I'd recommend spreading your lessons out more, and not taking more than 1 hour at a time.

I'd say you should practice once or twice after each lesson, then take another one.

Day 1: Lesson
Day 2: Practice
Day 3: Practice
Day 4: Lesson
Day 5: Practice
Day 6: Practice

repeat

Also, practice doesn't have to be slamming balls at the range. Practice after the first lesson might be just getting used to the proper grip and setup, and even backswing. Or whatever.

Thats just terrible. Was he JV, like for most tournaments we played the JV kids had a 10-stroke-per-hole limit. There was a kid from another town that we faced in tournaments often who was legit horrible, I mean with the 10-stroke rule I only remember him breaking 170 one time. Unfathomable to me.

I went from shooting well over 100 soph yr to breaking 100 easily and coming close to breaking 80 a couple times Jr yr to shooting 75-85 Sr year. It took a ton of work to do that in essentially 2.5 years. Sucky thing is that I played the best golf of my life the summer after my senior year, got down to scratch-ish, shot a 68...should've started playing the game earlier I guess. Nowadays I'm probably a coinflip to break 82 in my estimation. Struggling off the tee, short game is terrible

Seeing a guy that tall and skinny play golf is probably quite humorous.

this seems like a good approach.

I played golf with a 7 feet tall, 50 year old man once. Awkward swing but was slamming 320+ drives (fairly) consistently down the fairway.

are we still eggblogging? cuz i had an egg

the king of all eggs:

Eggs benedict is OK but Egg Shan tastes so much better.

I never liked the definition of insanity expression, mainly because the stupids interpret it as "never try anything more than once".

There was no such thing as JV golf in Georgia so varsity had a pretty wide range of talent. No 10 stroke rule or anything like that ever. Played everything by the rules. He asked to not play the next two weeks of matches and we spent some serious time working on his game for a couple hours each night after practice and got to the mid 60s in two weeks time. Took him another year to go from mid 60s to mid 50s though.

I peaked sometime between the summer after freshman year and summer after sophmore year. I had been out of baseball for 2 years by then and hadn't started driving (which resulted in a lot more pickup basketball and time wasting with friends in lieu of the golf course). I was pretty consistently shooting 39-41 every single tourney or practice round. I have still never shot even or better on 9 holes and have never broken 79 (despite shooting 4 straight 79s at one point) or had an eagle in my life.

Larry, take the time to watch these videos that show some fundamental concepts. These helped me immensely when I was in your spot several years ago.

loool the 10 shot rule was so clutch, on par fives some of the kids may as well have not even teed off

Brag: Had smoked burgers off one of these yesterday
Beat: They were from a freezer pak

Additional beat: Somehow I wound up changing the oil on their jetski while I was there.

Acceptable behavior calibration question:
How bad would it be for me to bring my own hamburger meat to a casual get together like that? These people are already aware I'm a dick and food snob but seem to like me anyway. Not a big fan of wife eating frozen beef patties from a box, but I like getting her out with company.

Somehow I'm getting a feeling that *the same thing hosts are offering, only better* crosses some sort of ettiquite line in a way that bringing steaks would not.

Unless you propose to the hosts that you'll bring the meat for the cookout (and you have enough for everyone) then yeah don't do that.

so Clark took tons of crap in ATF for banning Debeers and turns out he was Vyse after the most recent revelation when tuq banned yourbrainonporn?

Clark GOAT

Even if you're not trying to be douchebag here it's going to come off that way.

"Oh wow this meat is much better than host's!"

"Hey host why don't you get meat like this??"

I brought my own Omaha Steaks to a BBQ yesterday. I didn't GAF.

I think bringing your own is fine is you bring enough to share

I do declare, Clark is the moast best mod there is!

I run into the same issue. When I have people over, I go with quality > quantity as far as food provided when I host, but most of my friends choose the opposite.

Frozen preformed burger patties are just the nut worst, especially because they're prob more expensive than buying 80/20 in bulk.

Just seems like such a ****ing waste of a Big Green Egg! Honestly I just don't understand southerners relationship with beef at all. They eat a lot of it, but it's like they just want to get it over with and avoid tasting it or something.
