9 hole rates are commonplace here in western NY state. I don't know any course that has 18 hole rates only. Some courses may restrict 9 hole bookings to after 10AM or 11AM on weekends.

No reason to be condescending. I'll try and answer in the most polite way I can. Fact is your personal work experience is irrelevant to the discussion so I have no idea why you think that's relevant. Your personal health situation is only one data point and is in no way necessarily reflective of the mean. It is well established that the more force/weight applied to a moving joint experiences the more wear. This is applicable to any moving joint, be it biological or man-made. That's why knee replacement is one of the most common surgeries. Not all bodies are cre

Agreed. The Extra force on the knees is one reason enough alone. The incremental calorie burn or cardio from carrying is minimal. Walking is the key. If you want more then go to the gym, buy a bike, do targeted exercise etc.

Scottsdale is nice now but you can keep it May through Oct. Here in the NE there's nothing like playing after work on a summer day at 75-80 degrees and it doesn't get dark till almost 9:30. I'd wilt if I tried to do that in Scottsdale

Gear like Arcteryx for example have long arms as they are designed for climbing and reaching. If you have an REI or ski shop or similar you may want to go there and check out the options. Maybe something like this https://www.rei.com/product/145599/arcteryx-beta-sl-hybrid-jacket-mens?CAWELAID=120217890006138403&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=113169085578&CATCI=pla-60741809445&cm_mmc=PLA_Google|21700000001700551_1455990023|92700058337757874|BA|71700000074512915&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-OeBBhDiARIsADyBcE7qb_5_7-RN7hM_w69qTGoSFCkIBXIppfryhvfu5DO4UJT-1hqHNOcaAmZ5EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#product-r

Pretty much describes the North East US as well. Often golf weather doesn't start to gain any type of reliability until late April and even then it can be too cold and crappy to play. Regardless the ground is always soft.

Yup Dr. Oz is a Quack

Yes...I look at him every day in the mirror

Exactely @Holy Moses! Hey @FakeClubPro, what's the deal with all the confused responses today? You've been using that a lot in response to some clear and objective posts.

What do you mean "everyone talking drug use has been proven wrong already" Reported 8 Minutes ago : "Sheriff Alex Villanueva earlier said there was no immediate sign of impairment. No attempt to draw blood from Woods was made at the scene. Villanueva said that his condition and signs of being under the influence of narcotics, alcohol or medicine would be the subject of an investigation. No surprise because these tests can take days and weeks.

Hey Ferg is this Phil's fault?

Good post. On a separate note it's quite funny that an MD uses the screen name Duct Tape... Patch me up Doc

Oh my! I haven't checked WRX nor any news this afternoon and now this!!! Thank God he survived and it didn't involve any other people or vehicles. Could have been so much worse.
