I know a lot of people who cannot play golf with cart path only, including myself sometimes. I was OK Saturday, but some other days I would not have been able to play.
I know a lot of men are not playing men's day now, because the courses are saying golf cart path only too much.
Just venting my feelings. Don't think the courses care though, because they are busy now.

Everything is a compromise and nothing is perfect. In the winter the grass is not growing so it is more subject to wear. At the same time we are invaded by people escaping real winter.

We all need to find our own answers. We are all older today than we were yesterday. Your doctor tells you you shouldn't that is sort of a dare as to how you will.

Compassion for others? Truth many years ago I was on a New York City subway. I had a seat, I was tired and I was carrying a lot of stuff. I saw a young clearly pregnant lady and offered her my seat. She laced me up and down for being a male chauvinist pig. Sort of like asking people if their dog is friendly.

It is sad that some people look at people with CAPs as inconveniences instead of celebrating the fact they can still get out and enjoy a game they love.

I play once a week with a good friend who has a CAP card. I feel his pain and admire his ability to continue to play golf. 10 years ago he could play better and score lower than most golfers on the course. Give our fellow golfers a break…

Yah, as you roll up to the starter shack in your wheel chair.

Ever get the idea that all golf courses in TV, are bitching grounds for old grumpy adults?

Yes, that’s our goal, but I guess not everyone is as good a golfer as you.
