Maybe you should fantasize about a world where attorneys are actually productive members of society, instead of the leeches you are in reality.
The best post you’ve ever written.

I’ve heard about that. I thought it was apocryphal but you’re confirming it now. Interesting. I’ve also heard of another golf course somewhere in SE Asia (Singapore, perhaps?) where one of the fairways is in between two runways at an airport, or right along one or something like that. Does anyone know about this? -b
Response:
I guess the wedges are the heaviest, but of course they are shorter and bring you closer to your adversary. The driver, if given a full swing would be the fastest moving, but would require you to be a considerable distance at the start. What would be the club of choice?
I’d go for the putter, with the butt end, it could put quite a dent in someone’s head and offer a smaller clubhead for the adversary to grab, take away and beat the crap out of me. Thumbs down on the woods as you’re likely to have head covers on ‘em. Fairway woods are a good second choice as they’re heavy. . . I suppose one of those Ben Hogan standup putters would be ideal. . .

Y’know, I’m also thinking now that there might be a market for a product which is an amalgam of brass knuckles and divot-repair-tool. You hang it on the bag or your belt with a quick-release mechanism similar to a carabiner and you have a good melee weapon. Hmmmm…. Also – the other day I was chatting with Kevin Timm (bought his rangefinder – review to follow) about hauling clubs on a motorcycle. While the four-club bags with a strap are handy, I’m thinking that an enterprising golfer with access to some angle iron, some brackets and a little ingenuity could rig up a nice bag that would attach or mount to saddlebags or a pillion, depending on the bike. BMW riders would eat this up… -b

<snip weapons stuff Well, Larry beat me to it with the Momentus thing. So, I’d either use the 12-gauge Mossberg I keep in the umbrella slot, or possibly the MP-5 which has since replaced my spare set of shoes in the bag. However, as Dallas is rated as such a high-crime city, we’ve taken to mounting M60’s on the carts for defense, and the beer girls have become quite adept at ranging in mortar fire with a radio and map. And they say golf isn’t violent.

Response:
I always enjoy reading your posts and replies; we all need a good laugh now and then. Uh oh, the bloated attorney is having violent fantasies about teenagers. Right, all government attorneys are bloated; we make so much money serving the public we don’t know what to do with all. Hell, we serve all of the public, even the dredges of society like your pitiful self. I never got my ass kicked in the first grade, and it wouldn’t have been by someone like you. All of the mental cretins, like yourself, were kept pretty much segregated from the rest of the students . . . as it should be. Maybe you should fantasize about a world where attorneys are actually productive members of society, instead of the leeches you are in reality.
Maybe you should fantasize about a world where misfits like yourself can all live together and not have to mingle with the normal people. Wait a minute, are there still leper colonies? You really are a sick bastard, and you ought to put yourself out of the misery you obviously dwell in.

That’s one good reason to always carry a 1 iron! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -I was walking through a park on my way to the course when I came across a few rowdy teenagers. Nothing happened, and they didn’t bother me. However, as I was approching them I wondered what I would do if set upon.

Suppose you had to reach into your bag and pull out a club to use in self defense, which would be the best club?

If you are menaced by a poisonous snake or other dangerous wildlife, then if you have a 1-Iron, then use it. If you have a 2-Iron, then use it. If you have a 3-Iron, then use it. That’s about all they’re good for. Cheers, Loren

Response:
Uh oh, the bloated attorney is having violent fantasies about teenagers. I’ll bet it goes all the way back to the 1st grade, when someone like me kicked your ass for the first time. Seek help, counselor. Oh, and by the way, you’d get one awkward swing at those teens before they beat the livin’ shit out of you, and shoved each club up your ass individually. Maybe you should fantasize about a world where attorneys are actually productive members of society, instead of the leeches you are in reality.

Any club in the bag would do the trick, so I’d go by cost and ease of replacement. For instance, I’d shy away from using a $500 driver or a $200 putter (if indeed I had either). In my case, I’d probably go with lob wedge. I shouldn’t be carrying one anyway.
