Fighting a losing battle there buddy. Its a semi-professional sport for some of these guys.
A qualifyng tournament on now for a brand new course and the cut line is at -12 !!!!!
12 UNDER FFS. I thoought I did pretty well scorig PAR and thought should get me a spot but now not so sure thats reality.
The game to those that chastise you is for everyone, not just you guys who spend every waking moment on it. The game is for everyone !!! Everyone including those who play one game a day or every couple days, maybe a few on the weekends. Why are they not entitled to be successful as well ? Becasue the game wont let them be if they dont dedicate themselves to mastering it. The hack golfers cant stay hacks the game wont let them.
So it makes them into higher level players but one's that can never compete against these guys who obviously have tamed the game. Its no diffeent to professional card players. There are people willing to play for money and those that aren't.
Maybe we need to work out which side of the fence a player belong ?
Maybe we need to be thinking laterally and provide the hackers a club golf environment ?
One with trophies and free golf balls but not credits.Yes yes club environments can do that but its up to the club to provide the dollars to put up the golfballs as prizes. Tournament entries such as Opens etc are free to enter but offer great prizes.
Maybe that would keep those who want to make some credits or dough or whatever out of the game on their side of the fence where they can compete with likeminded and talented individuals. And us occassional hacks can fart around and have a chance to win something if nothing but some SD balls and kudois
Just a thought
