That's it!
The acceptable number of practice swings backed by science (opinion):
5+ → straight to jail🔏
2–3 → feels reasonable
0 → deranged lunatic who somehow stripes it every time 😶🌫️
Am I crazy or is this a reach?
Like when Harley-Davidson tried selling perfume
Or Colgate launched frozen lasagna
Or Bic made disposable underwear
Or Zippo rolled out women’s perfume
Or Cheetos opened a pop-up restaurant
Excited to bring our high-performance DNA to a brand-new venture: McLaren Golf. Combining world class engineering minds with leading golf-industry experts, we will offer beautifully designed equipment, developed to deliver precision and excellence on the golf course. Looking forward to this! 🏌🏼⛳️
It seems like people would prefer if golf was a dying game and they could be a distraught martyr⚔️
I'm sorry it's not the same culture from the 1920's.
The game is more popular and diverse than ever.

How the golf cart destroyed American golf culture:
Disclaimer: I play in carts sometimes. This isn’t “You suck if you play in a golf cart”.
Public golf culture in the USA has a lot of problems. And imo the golf cart was what changed the game.
In the UK and Australia, golf is seen as a healthy social hobby. It’s a nature walk while hitting a golf ball and then a beer with friends afterwards.
In America, it’s mocked. A lazy man’s game. Driving around getting smashed. It’s slow and often tense. It’s like sitting in traffic.
How did the golf cart hurt the game?
Takes away the health benefits
Horrible for the turf
Makes expensive and ugly cart paths mandatory
Allows for more drinking, most don’t want to get drunk while walking
Takes away the natural high
Allows for bad golf course design
Almost all of the great private golf clubs in the USA are walking only or highly encourage walking. This isn’t a coincidence. Golf is simply a walking game. It’s better for all involved. (With exemption for the handicapped.)
As American golf evolves, thankfully we are seeing a move back to walking courses. The Park in Florida mandates walking in the mornings. Bandon Dunes and Sand Valley are walking only. And golfers are buying in!
I learned playing cart golf as an adult. Walking 18 holes seemed like a chore.
But once you start walking, you get it. And it becomes easier and easier and then becomes what you crave. The walk.
Yes in Texas or Florida summers, carts will be used. Yes at mountain and some desert courses they are needed.
But for a normal parkland course, we need to eschew the cart. It’s better for the game and for everyone who plays it.
For all the cart golfers, give it a try if your course is walkable. It’s better in all ways.
