Golf Questions Answered…Part Dos!

More Q & A that will undoubtably hurt your golf game…

After receiving such positive feedback from my previous post “Golf Questions Answered…The Golfstinks.com Way.” It’s only right that I continue to help my fellow hacks with a follow-up and answer more of your questions. I’m so glad that my vast knowledge is coming in handy once again.

Let’s get it on!

Q: What degree wedge should I play with?
A: You should really avoid playing with wedges at any degree…mild, moderate or severe. They are intrusive, uncomfortable and can cause chafing. Thank you Caddyshack 2…

Q: What’s the best hybrid?
A: That’s kind of a subjective question. The best thing is to figure out how much you want to spend and then take one out for a test drive. I’m liking the effort to go green man.

Q: I just got into an argument with a buddy of mine over this: Is it illegal to pick up your ball, clean it and replace it while on the fairway?
A: Dude, hell yeah it’s illegal! Ummm, hello? I believe that’s called public indecency. Scrub the fellas in the privacy of your own home please.

Q: Would you recommend a Medicus?
A: No, I would recommend a doctor-us. Roman empire-era medical practices are a little barbaric. Stupidus questionus.

Q: How can I tell if my shaft is stiff enough?
A: Well, your shot distance and club head speed will dictate where you need to be. Your golf pro would be better suited to help with that. Or…ask your significant other ;).

That wraps up round 2. I hope you all found this to be a nice learning experience. Thanks again for the support and I’m looking forward to round 3!

Hit’em long…yell FORE!

Golf, You & Friggin’ Murphy’s Law

January 30, 2010 | By Pete Girotto | 2 Comments

Who is this Murphy guy? Try to find out the origin of this “law.” It seems like it’s been covered up by the government or some secret organization. No one really knows how it became an adage, it just did. The most common belief ties into some highly classified government project testing rockets back in the late 40’s and 50’s. Well, whatever, whoever or wherever this came from, I’ll tell you what, it doesn’t affect any other sport as much as golf.

The following are some examples of how Murphy’s Law is truly embedded in golf.
1. All balls from the same sleeve have a very tight bond with each other and will follow one another into the woods.
2. Waiting for the group ahead of you on the green to clear because “you can reach” is also a silent invitation for all those around to watch as your approach shot becomes shots…because you can reach.
3. Speaking of approaches, a divot only gets replaced properly after a great approach shot.
4. The ball you find just off the fairway that is right where you just smashed a monster drive ends up not being yours.
5. Your golf clubs have their own weather system. When it’s hot up by the driver…yep, it’s cold down by the wedges. Hey, it’s a system that has to balance itself.
6. When you finally make the green on 9; that 40 foot putt can be made blindfolded and with the sand trap rake.
7. Four letter words, except for golf, will be utilized quite excessively once the glove has been put on.
8. Only when you are shooting your best round ever will the air horn blow to warn of a storm.
9. Amnesia is quite common with the others in your foursome when counting their strokes.
10. Those that are not as good or lack any skill in golf will feel it’s their duty to give swing advice.
What can you do? We still go out there and play regardless. Hit’em straight!
