Scotty Cameron is a status symbol. LAB is a close second.

Stack and Tilt can be a great swing model for amateur players who have less time to practice and play.

Tiger Woods was a shitty person and gets too much love from media/fans despite his past actions.

Just go out and have fun. Most people go out and act like they’re gonna go pro someday, it’s just a game.

You don’t need the latest and greatest equipment to be good or enjoy the game.

The USGA rule around taking relief should never be extended to taking relief from a divot
IllStructure3517
Amateurs should use shorter drivers to make hitting the center of the club face easier. Longer shafts decrease accuracy and distance when you can’t find the center of the face consistently.

Gimmes are fine in any casual/weekend round with the boys.

If you can’t break 120 you should be practicing on the range not playing the course.

Bryson DeChambeau is a pussy.

Golf is a stupid game but I enjoy the pain

Fitting is overrated for most players. It just gets them to spend a ton more money chasing differences like one degree of launch angle but the way they deliver the club to the ball is far more inconsistent than the changes between clubs they’re being fitted for.

Driving is more important than putting.
because if 3 putts is bad and 2 putts is acceptable (1 stroke differential) – losing a ball off drive (+2 penalty) or spraying it somewhere that requires a punch out or drop (eg water hazard) are always equally if not worst than 3 putts

You must play out of the divots in the fairway

Can’t reach the greens in regulation so I’m moving up on the tees

You don’t need a lob wedge (and it may even be harming your game)

Your handicap should determine the tees you play. Newbies determined on “Playing the tips” is ruining the pace of play.
CatzRCrazy
Regardless of your age/gender, play whatever tees consistently give you short iron approach shots. Golf is way more fun when you’re hitting 8 irons and wedges onto greens instead of coming up short w/ a 5 iron or hybrid.
Cathouse1986
I love playing golf but completely avoid the social aspect because I cannot stand all the golf bros.

Distance is overrated
tomisme
While on the green unless your ball is in someone’s line you should be marking, cleaning, and immediately replacing. I can’t stand when people wait for their partners to putt before even placing their ball. Huge reason for slow play.

It’s a pitch repair tool not divot repair tool.

Singles/duos should have the right of way over foursomes if the course isn’t packed

50, 54, and 58 degree wedges will be the standard soon

Gimme’s should be banned.

You aren’t good enough to be that mad.
We all get frustrated or disappointed in a poor shot here or there, but people who get visibly mad on the golf course and ruin the mood are always the dudes who never practice and have no real expectation of playing good golf.
Most people might agree, but the person who I’m describing will blow their top over a comment like this.

Unless you need to fly over something, chipping off the green with a putter is your high percentage play.

That YouTube golf is more fun to watch than the LIV tour or PGA tour. The exception being majors.

Fast play is just as disruptive as slow play.

Lateral hazard is how most people play out of bounds and is totally fine for casual rounds. Even for handicap tracking purposes, playing like this will make your cap more of an apples to apples comparison with most golfers than playing OB properly.
The only time anyone should care about counting OB by the rules is in a tournament setting or a competitive round.
reginalduk
Pro golfers should play a standard tournament ball.
Yolo_Swaggins_Yeet
Play your distances, I shamelessly hit my driver and 3 wood on long par 3s when I need to
Get some laughs, then I’m the one laughing when I’m the only one on the green 🤷🏻♂️

Bifurcate the equipment between amateur and professional, especially off the tee. While its impressive to watch Rory send one 340 yards over a dog leg, it defeats the purpose of how a lot of courses were designed.

They are called the forward tees. Not the “ladies” tees. They don’t need to be gendered. Especially when the flags are color coded the same. No one says a red flag is a “ladies flag”
ghostofkozi
If you aren’t paid to play or in a tournament, you shouldn’t care about the rules other than keeping a basic score
Thank god for Costco because all these golf apparel companies are driving up the cost of the sport. $100+ for a polo? Get fucked, it’s a polo. And all the golf-bro drop ship brands are awful and obnoxious
UnkleLester
No one should throw clubs..especially 20+ handicaps! I play maybe 3-5 times a year and I suck! I’ll never throw a club for chunking a ball every hole
SnazzyStooge
Golf is supposed to be fun, it’s a game. If I’m not enjoying a hole, I’ll pick up my ball. If I don’t feel like playing a hole, I’ll skip it. If I want to hit a mulligan or improve my lie or kick out into the fairway, I will. My score means nothing, it’s all about the experience of enjoying the course.

I’m not trying to play 18 holes in 3 hours. I get not wanting to play 6 hour rounds either, but the idea that “ready golf” has to equate to “speed golf” is ridiculous. If I’m paying $75 for a round, I want to enjoy it.
Golf course is my happy place. Break from work, family, kids, life. I always try to play at an appropriate pace, but some people are just ridiculous.

While most of us have no business playing from the tips, after that – mind your business. Playing from the blues vs the whites doesn’t slow anyone’s play significantly – especially on a busy course. If you’re in that big of a hurry, that’s your problem.

Taking off your glove doesnt give you “more feel” on the greens. All of you are full of shit
WackTheHorld
A putter is just a weight on the end of a shaft. Paying more than $150 for a putter is a waste of money.
