My handicap rant is always the same: EVERYONE is a Democrat (or a socialist..;-) when it comes to golf...;-)
- especially country club members in financial services who, after waxing on about the efficiencies of "free markets", then shamelessly ask their opponents to "give them strokes" so that they may be better able to compete on a fairer footing...;-)
- Just because I work harder at my game, just because I work harder at my own physical fitness, why do you feel I must GIVE YOU some of my strokes so that you can compete with me?
- "Stroke redistribution" is nothing more than gifting the less-talented and the less-motivated golfers who could spend more time practicing, more time exercising, yet instead choose to receive charity from others gladly so that they may endeavor to save $5-$20.
I get it, i understand it.
I just ask that you be consistent in your views or receive the "hypocrite tag".....
Maybe if these golfers did not receive such gifts from others, they would seek to "pull themselves up" and learn to better themselves so they, too, need not rely on "the system" to make them competitive....
