Only one member jad22(much respect to you sir) said anything about the cards being listed too cheap.

You can call BS all you want, but there are people who will do the right thing. The OP did not get screwed by anyone, if anything he was the one trying to do the screwing, as you so eloquently put it. You have a good day now.

Well if nothing else is accomplished in this thread we at least managed to get Ben to laugh out loud.

in situations like this, i always use golf's number 1 and 2 rules, keeping in mind it's a gentleman's game:

1. always use the rules to your advantage.
2. if something isn't up to par, penalize yourself.


sounds like your ball was on the cart path, you took your club length but didn't take full relief leaving your back heel touching the cart path.

you're the only one w/ the score card here.

the ultimate question: you gonna mark it a 4 or a 6?

If the course has a maximum score for a hole that's what I put. Because I'm probably over it anyway.

That's why I'd simply hit it off the cart path. That would be really great compared to where it usually ends up.

nothing states ya cant play it off the cart path, it's actually a shorter walk.

penalty only occurs if you elect to take relief but your shoe still touches the path.


fore!

Mark thanks for the kindness.

Look yall. I lost my temper. Happens. I'm keeping it out of the threads from now on.

Cheers

At least there was no staged hair pulling, eye gouging and fake body parts.

I would have never known that.

My one round was well over 100 for the 9 hole course. And totally bizarre. The couple guys who joined my friend and I thought I was putting one over on them at first. The first two holes had a very nice curve to the right, exactly where I usually hit the ball. Second hole the tee shot lands behind a shrub. As they're explaining my options for moving it out I said "I'll just rev up and hit it through there" Which somehow worked
The third however bent to the left and their suspicions were dashed as I hit a few hopelessly into the woods.
the highlights?
5th, a LONG hole and I lifted my head so the tee shot went about 10 feet. Passed on being allowed to do it over and when asked said I'd hit it hard - it would go into the woods and hopefully hit a tree and bounce forward. Which actually happened!
A couple holes later the ball ended up on a little bit of grass at the side of a gully just before the green . Easy right? Wrong, put about 6-7 into the water including one I chased because I was really low on balls by then.
Lost one in some high grass and searched with no luck.
Next hole was the opposite direction and I hit another into the same patch of grass. Found the first ball and asked " so what do I do if I found the ball I lost on the last hole? " By then the answer was "Just play it!"

So pretty much a total disaster except I had a lot of fun.

I have no clue what the overwhelming majority of the posts are talking about or referencing, but I enjoyed them.

Some Lil Wayne lyrics come to mind:

"And you could take that to the bank and deposit that
Put your two cents in, and get a dollar back"

"About all of the money that done came and went
About the two cents I ain’t never spent"

"Be dead before I be dead broke
Still burn money, my bread toast
**** it, if you got it spend it ***
But just keep your two pennies ***"

i'll let the pictures do the talking

At least my "fake card making self" uses my knowledge to help fellow collectors and not take advantage of them.

You are correct there are some great people in this hobby that do the right thing. Notice I how gave a fellow member a shout out for doing the right thing in my post. Thank you I will have a good day and wish you one also.

[KCRfan1]

Ben, I know you're a good guy in the hobby when your transactions list " too many names to remember " !

[Laxcat]

Hmmm.... So now not only I am greedy, I "fought over the card" and apparently am trying to rip everyone off and intentionally doing harm to the hobby?


You very obviously don't know me. I have done many transactions on here and I would say I pay quite strongly.

And yes, you make fake cards. Are you denying that? You want to talk about harm to the hobby....

Please post any info you have on me trying to screw anybody with a fake card in the last 20 years. I will give you till this time tomorrow to try to find any. After you don't I expect an apology for your slander. What you will find is me trying to stop people from being screwed by people selling fake and altered cards.

[Laxcat]

Please state where I said you sold them. I'll give you until tomorrow to find it. And I believe it would be libel anyway. Is this considered print? You make them. They get out. Period.
Get off your high horse.

Matt has helped me w/my Brooks collection so I appreciate the deal he extended to me (just as a note of appreciation).

As for the horror story... If we're in the hobby long enough we'll have some negative transactions or interact w/not so friendly individuals, but this, in my view, is really not that bad in the scheme of things...

I like that - STFU !!!
