Really Enjoying Golf…

Time for a little grass on the greens?
Time for a little grass on the greens?

Well, it’s been an interesting week so far. I would like to thank our readers for commenting on my post last week about making golf more enjoyable. In particular there are a couple that stuck out. For the first one, we’ll move on over to the Twitterverse and…well…see tweet below.

@golfstinks all u need to do is include a pitch n puff to your bag, check it out @ http://t.co/tq6dHPxLRf

How could I have gone all this time without a Pitch-n-puff? A solid brass tee! Talk about indestructible…wait, what? Oh, so you don’t actually use it to tee up a golf ball? It’s for what? Ooooohhhhh, I see. In that case, if your “golfing” with a pitch-n-puff in Colorado or Washington state you should be fine.

Next up, and boy am I excited about this, I received a voice mail from one of our readers, who just happens to be the one and only John Daly, stating how he likes to enjoy himself on the course. We’ve taken the liberty and transcribed the message below so everyone can read it, check it out.

“…Woo hoo! You golfstinkin’  motherf***ers are all right! When I’m on the course with my buds we really like to crack into a 30 pack and a fifth of…S**t, I don’t know…alcohol! It don’t f***in’ matter cuz we enjoying ourselves! And then we bust a couple lines…”

Oh dear, I think we’ve heard enough. Good to see Mr. Daly hasn’t forgotten how to enjoy himself. I guess the most important thing we can take from all of this is that you too should enjoy yourself on the course. However you think fit…But we’re not bailing you out.

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!

Disclaimer: Golfstinks.com does not condone nor condemn any of the stuff mentioned above…we’re like Switzerland. Also, John Daly never called and left a message. But if he did, I’m guessing that is what it would’ve sounded like.

Golf’s Virtual Sticks And Stones

July 29, 2011 | By Pete Girotto | 2 Comments

Composure as defined by the dictionary means “the state of being calm and in control of oneself.”

As a pro golfer, composure should be a part of your mental and physical being. Nothing bothers me more than someone who has been blessed with success but acts like a 3rd grader.

Recently, Rory McIlroy and golf analyst/commentator Jay Townsend got into a heated little tit for tat via Twitter. Apparently, McIlroy’s round at the Irish Open wasn’t up to par (sorry). Before I get into it, here’s what went down:

Townsend tweeted “McIlroy’s course management was shocking…” “It was some of the worst I have ever seen beyond -10 boys’ golf competition,”

McIlroy retaliated with “Shut up…you’re a commentator and failed golfer, your opinion means nothing.”

What the f$#@ is wrong with you two?!?! First of all, a tweet argument is just as bad as a text fight with your significant other…fexting if you will. Secondly, you are professionals and represent a select few that can play golf or commentate on it to earn a living. And a substantial living at that.

The only reason I’m writing about this is because golf doesn’t need any negative attention. Like it or not Rory, you are role model now to a lot of kids. I understand you are still young but if you are big enough to win the US Open, you should be big enough to act like a champion.

Just my $0.02…

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
