    So, he’s suggesting that golf should always be played without brains?
    No, I haven’t looked at the reference, but I’ve seen such claims previously.
    Every shot should be assessed on its merits.

    e.g. hero shot: If the hero shot won’t get on the green, but another 100 up the fairway puts you within one to the green, never go the hero shot because there’s no possible benefit but lots of danger. On the other hand, if the hero shot has a chance and you’re playing par and a hit out means it will take you at least two to get there, there’s no point playing safe for a guaranteed loss. In match play, you can be in a comparatively equivalent dilemma.
    Always go for the middle of the green? How big is the green, where’s trouble, where’s the pin? At least put it within two putts.

    Know what’s possible, for you and don’t needlessly give away shots.

    ATM, going to the supermarket and back is the only permitted trip. Golf courses are still closed.

    You guys do realise that Wonder Woman is on tv on Wed, a bit later ?

    For those who don’t prefer blokes.

    VHS broken?

    Oh yeah, it’s old. But she and her fellow Amazonians haven’t aged a day.

    I do have a VHS player somewhere – it was my mother’s, and a collection of tapes. Although the only one I can remember without doing a search is Jane Fonda’s workout.

    I attended granddaughter’s birthday party via zoom last weekend.
    Set myself up with my tablet computer attached to a tripod in front of my recliner. It all worked fine until I found that the tablet doesn’t have a bloody microphone! Doh!

    Yes Mads, I’m interested. But I’ll use a phone instead.

    Is this a young OB?

    You got the “young” bit correct at least 😛

    He doesn’t look much younger. But I haven’t looked in the mirror for some time.

    What about the over the hill types?

    Check in your mirror!

    Again? It won’t have improved at all, surely?

    Have you shaved now OB?

    Not for years, except for a bit of trimming.

    My handicap hasn’t moved…..since the last update. (Not sure if that’s good or bad???) 😉

    We might need a state election to get things moving again.

    and yes gang mowers had been used

    And sadly swing is still self farking isolating….. grrrrrr

    At least you can still go out and have a swing.

    Perhaps I should take a golf club to the supermarket to help with social distancing?
