Have you ever been wrong about anything?

[Tim Martin]

"Vibe" can be douchy or sincere. The elite don't know what they mean by it, but they mean that it makes them more trendworthy on social media. True vibe is the humble, the authentic, the sincere, the worthwhile, the enduring ... unless you say it has that it has a sh!tty vibe.


Jumped back on this thread this morning, and surprised to see folks reach out to me. Thank you for that, my Valentines!


-I know that I'm a little bit important, but I like to beat myself up for giggles.


-Pietro Cannon-Ball Shooter, from the Healthy Mountain, I consider being incorrect a part of the work-in-progress process. I don't suspect that I will concern myself. I once told a perfectionist friend/lover/parole officer/insurrectionist that I was not afraid of failure, as I had failed many a time. She dreaded imperfection, and often bailed on opportunities. We all live our own lives.


-There are many flavors/hues of incorrection/incorrectness/incorrectitude ... Unless my incerrection/insurrection causes bodily or emotional harm to someone, I do not lose sleep nor turn myself in to the authorities.

Can anyone translate this?

General:

• Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett are funny, unto themselves.
• Cars are for long-term ownership, last 15 -20 years
• Video games are harmless fun.
• KISS, particularly Gene Simmons, were cool.
• That Nixon was as low as it would get, in your pick of public departments.

Golf:

• That any good golfers hit a natural draw, and I should try to artificially emulate them.
• That blind shots are routine, acceptable, the norm even.
• That TPC architecture would still be ruling both TV and common golf.
• Drop Shot 3s are sound, should be more of 'em.
• That true winter golf, to temporary greens in winter climes, is at all satisfying.
• That a round of golf, at any public place, would cost over $100. PB was $50 in 1982, when I formulated this wrongness

Yes, many, many things. The most recent?


That we should add a "like" button here. SORRY!!!!

Thought about this at length. No, I’ve never been wrong about anything. Especially golf related.

No apologies needed, I still think its a terrific idea.  I don't understand the irrational dislike of the idea, especially when it would mean far less new posts to wade thru when people feel the need to +1!!

Being wrong is common. Being uninformed and wrong is...wrong.


I’ve been involved (as a committee member) in a lot of decision making regarding course maintenance/renovation issues. It took many months to learn about the architectural and agronomic and design issues. I can honestly opine that I’ve never been wrong when I helped sell the membership in these situations. Despite the quarrelsome conversations, almost every vocal dissenter liked the changes upon reflection the following season.


I would judge this as the members finding that the experts were right. I was just the conduit.

...
The ground game and feel was something I dealt with every day. The thrill of the forced carry over water was not.

Reminds me of one of my friends who a few here have played with. Playing at Rancho San Marcos he was lecturing me about the thrill of the forced carry while he failed three times in a row, and hit his fourth so far right that he missed the pond altogether.

I will never change my opinion of ponds that have been created on golf courses to provide "challenge".

Garland-I’ll take a creek or stream over a man made pond every time.

Exactly. As I have posted on here many times, I seldom if ever attempt to hit near a water hazard. Often times my shot does not conform to my intention. A creek or stream more likely than not will be missed. A pond more likely than not will be hit. So, I prefer the chance at a recovery shot, than a near certain penalty and a drop where I can within the rules find as advantageous spot as possible to play the next shot from. My favorite example of over use of ponds is the Monarch Dunes par 3 course. Many holes have forced carries over ponds, others do not. Those that do not often have very interesting recovery shot possibilities. Those that do ... well let's just say I can't hit a recovery from a watery grave.
