Which Accessories Identify You As A Hacker?

[Forged4ever]

Bro, and I'm not trying to be cute but I consider you one of the Old Guard and a foundation bedrock and "member/owner"

 

Me?

 

I'm a Johnny come lately visitor, however me bein me, well, sometimes I can't just shut my mouth and let somethin lay, lol, hence, my initial response.

 

Your worst posts top my best as do quite a few others here, though that's ok, I don't have to be right, I don't have to "win," and I sure the hell don't have anything to prove here however the one area that I've never been real good at stayin on the sidelines for and I've never taken a backseat in, or shotgun or wing for that matter, and that is if I witness someone belittling, insulting or trying to bully someone .

 

You strike me the same way-

 

This is the only reason that I even responded to your post because if I had thought that anyone was attempting to belittle or stigmatize someone else, well my tone and posts would have been very different indeed, lol. I've never really figured out why I can "turn the other cheek" if someone attempts to criticize or belittle me however I go apes*** if I witness it being done to someone else-

 

I just chalk it up to another one of my issues, lol

 

Regarding the surgeons, that's great that they are obviously, "Back Niners," because they are even rarer than their Professional skills make them, and I'm guessing your CoS Bud is either a General Surgeon, CardioVascular or Neuro(Possibly Ortho though not likely), and normally the BNers from those specialties are balls to the wall, and their "God Complex" doesn't stop at the hospital, as the last thing that the guys I know give a s*** about are protecting their hands, within reason of course(besides, they all have multi-million dollar disability insurance policies, lmao). A lot of surgeons shake with a softer grip, and it's not that macho bulls***, they just have "light" fingers and hands. They feel that they are invincible, in about any area or subject that one brings up outside of medicine or their specialty, their tone of certainty far exceeds their actual knowledge, though good luck tellin em that, lol

 

The vast vast majorities' feeling of invincibility goes to their outside life, activities and health, so your Guys are indeed rare birds-

 

Be that as it may, I always benefit from your posts even when we might not share the same side of the table-

 

You're a Gentleman!

 

Stay Well Bro and have a Great Season and Year ahead :)

 

My Best,

RP

 

Same to you... Oh, I'd say the number of likes aside your name tell the bigger story. I can only aspire. :drinks: I wish you well.

HaHa, na Bro, I'm Easyyy's 2nd cousin twice removed, so he let's me play with the count :)

 

Have a nice weekend!

 

My Best,

Richard

Run the other way if you see a dude wearing these, especially if they're mint:

 

Bonus points if he's rocking white crew socks and shorts. Double bonus for black crew socks.

 

The kiltie is the giveaway. Give Dad his shoes back.

Now there's a proper golf shoe! Lol

[Frankensteins Monster]

Not an accessory per se. Wearing your glove from the car.

And never taking it off, not in the pro shop, not in the bathroom....

[BIG STU]

Ok, first, Madison took me to the local RW&Blue(think a nicer Goodwill) and let me just say that I came directly from the hospital and was higher than a kite....

 

This is the longest friggin ball retriever I've ever seen and I'm not kidding, it had to be 20-25', which, if ya think about it, whether ya go 25' out and down, or just 25' down, what are the odds of scoopin a ball with that at full extension?

 

Ok, Maddie said that I gave it wayyyyyy too much thought but for $2.99, I thought it was a steal, lol

 

The KISS hat was for MadGolfer but Maddie said that I was walkin home if I didn't put it back-

 

Women ;)

 

Ya gotta believe me, I didn't used to be this effed up :)

 

Fairways & Greens My Friends,

RP

Off topic some but here goes. You think you are effed up you ought to have seen me back in the racing days. i used to wear a different Rock and Roll T-Shirt to every race I mean Ozzy stuff and the like and this was in the middle of the "Bible Belt" Redneck country and me with long hair and hanging around with an Episcopal priest in the middle of Southern Baptist country to boot. The minis were no different either me with the ponytail. Then I was known as Hippie Stu or Ponytail Stu.Heck my wife would have bought me the KISS hat then and there and i would have played golf in it too right now!

LMAO, this is frickin incredible, lmao

 

I have forever(and it's a black FJ rain glove), lmao

 

And I can putt my a** off, and most other peeps' too :)

 

Bearing in mind that 98% of the peeps out there plantin a tee can't break 100 and most take their glove off, well what's that tell ya, lmao

 

Yea, and they put em in their back right pocket, thumb folded inward, lmao....

 

I Love this Friggin Game!!!!!!!!!

 

God Bless Bros :)

We see them all the time. There are particular accessories that low-handicappers would never use, and that if you have them you are likely a hacker. These are the accessories that first come to mind.

 

plastic golf tubes

large plastic iron head covers

two gloves

stroke counter

 

Any others?

HaHa. I thought I was a full-on hacker, but I don't have a stroke counter, so I guess I'm not all the way there until I get one.

 

Actually, my iron headcovers are neoprene and I only keep them on in the SUV so that I don't have to listen to the heads rattling against each other while I'm driving. I only wear two gloves at the driving range because I've been beating the heck out of my hands. I only have tubes in my vintage bag. Keeps the clubs lined up and looking good.

 

I'm still a hacker though ...

Excellent vintage set there. I have never seen you post on the Classic Golf and Golfers Forum though. there are a bunch of us that play vintage

[BIG STU]

LOL! My full persimmon set has about 3/4 of all that stuff complete with the aluminum rake style ball retriever! I love the looks and chuckles I get on the first tee when I pull up with my vintage red Wilson Staff bag with FG-17's in tubes and Persimmon woods and then commence the beat down!

I get some of the same chuckles when I pull up with my vintage Macgregor mini staff bag 1962 CF-4000s and various persimmon woods but sans the ball retriever and tubes. I do not play vintage all the time but my regular front line clubs are in my signature and they are not far from vintage

Man back in the day I could not stand those flaps as we called them I would cut mine off a brand new pair of shoes with a razor blade

I bust 'em out occasionally, but I've still got a lot of work to do with my "modern" set. I do feel really fortunate to have run across them, especially considering that I have all of $110 in what you see plus the Strata Bloc woods that were originally purchased with the set and the old canvas and leather Burton bag they were in (it's falling apart).

Who knows, some guys come to the course looking like a tour player with the equipment to match and "THEN" they take the first swing "FORE!!!!", and then you have the other side of the coin, guys come in very humble and not too spectacularly dressed with older equipment then go out and shoot 70, so I never tend to speculate on anyone, I know some guys are very opinionated about others and then they get surprised..

 

A guy I got paired with wearing overalls, no shirt, no shoes shot 66 with old callaway steelheads last week.

[jacksongp22]

I dont understand the club cleaning brush, what do you guys use to clean your grooves in between shots?

"No shoes" ?...............I presume you mean no golf specific shoes............

 

Or was he barefoot with overalls on. If so thats some achievement.

[Shilgy]

A towel-that I have hanging from a clip on my back pocket lol. :taunt:

[Gautama]

Have to say the surest sign you're a hacker is paying attention to what's in everyone else's bag and feeling somehow redeemed when they "get stuff wrong."

 

If that's you, something's not right and you may need help - maybe start by getting checked out for "low T." :cheesy:

[sevenfourate]

I use someone else's brush when they aren't looking.

 

All of the benefits. None of the stigma :cheesy:

So funny Richard. That is me on the green. Folded thumb underneath. Every time, no exceptions, for 30 years. I can't hit water from a boat either.

 

Love your posts.

[cristphoto]

My typical answer to personality type questions is simply respect the game and others on the course. If you fix your divots and ball marks, rake traps, and keep pace, use whatever equipment you want. I like to focus on my own game and not worry about others. I learned this years ago from playing in tournaments when every now and then I'd be paired with an opponent that tried to win by using gamesmanship.

I find if I hang my towel off my left side it helps to balance out my bead counter hanging off the right side.

 

This then leaves my back pocket open for my iron headcover!

Ha HA use a tee and I still use wooden tees too :taunt:

[ArkJag]

Poker chip ball markers (sorry guys, but it's true)

Expensive divot tools

You are funny. A guy I play with hovers around a 1-2 hcp and uses plastic iron covers. Stop judging people by looks. You aren't better than anyone else, regardless of your accessories.

[awarren82]

Rangefinder

[Babalooie]

Brush tees

Big plastic ball markers

Any surlyn covered ball under $20/dozen

Those ball stencils

Suction cup putter grip

A 7 wood

 

I'm guilty of all of these at one time or another
