Yup. It's the lack of self awareness that's frustrating...

The definition of tee off is the first shot on a golf hole. You can use any club - including a putter.

The link is to an interesting video of pros using a putter to tee off on a 200 yard hole. These guys are good!!

Finally!! I agree 100%. Once I realized that it was better LIVING here “six” months and hibernating when the birds are here, my blood pressure dropped to normal. Joined the fitness center in the winter.

I honestly thought the thread was a wind-up.
But so many taking it seriously. I'm wrong again!

No but if you ever get it figured out take the solution to the roads. Countless drivers have the same issue. lol Rather funny actually as I referenced this very same thing just a few days ago.

We’re you in a rush to go somewhere? When I went to a putting course I didn’t play if it was Pack with people, just like I do when I go to a restaurant. If I don’t want to wait I leave & hopefully I’ll come back when play is slow. What’s your hurry, most of us are retired!
