Blame Pete Dye.

You wouldn't be the first golfer to damn him to hell.

His little beauty in Youngstown (Avalon Lakes) has caused me quite a few headaches from hitting shots that are just slightly off and ending up in more trouble than I needed to be in.

Never argue GOLF with Ihslep for gods sake...don't you know he's on the OSU club golf team?

Don't understand your reasoning for this post.


Have I posted anything golf related that doesn't make sense or wasn't relevant to the topic at hand (for your simple mind, besides the Reds stuff)?

It's not like I'm posting on here how good I claim to be (which, for the record, isn't anything world beating), or arguing for the sake of arguing.

So again, what are you trying to say?

This...plus the fact only a total douche bag would ever brag about being on the Club golf team. Being on the actual Golf team is marginally douchey but the being on the Club team is full-on flagrantly douche.

When have I ever bragged about being on the club golf team?

sorry man...but at least you can chuckle at yourself. As I'm sure you'll attest to, the Golfin' Buckeyes aint exactly pullin down the babes on the coolness scale. And guys on the Club team who also happen to be in Student Radio might as well walk around campus with a huge "Kick Me" sign taped to their back.

Don't sell yourself short cc, you're a tremendous douche.

I don't see the problem with being on a college golf team, whether it's Club or not.

I agree with that, but I would assume these players don't pay much attention to rules sheets that are passed out anyway.

Actually, Nick Watney said exactly that in one of his interviews after the round. Basically saying they are handed a new rules sheet each week and no one really pays attention to them.


And I am really surprised at the amount of so called sports experts who are saying they had no idea that you can not ground your club in a bunker. That is one of the first rules I was ever taught when I started playing golf. And it was by some random guy at the range who told myself and 2 of my friends to draw a line in the sand 2-3 inches behind the ball in a greenside bunker and just hit through the line. But of course it was followed by you are not allowed to do this on the course and never touch your club to the sand in the bunker.
