This is for NON-POLITICAL wedge issues, so no pitting allowed.
Some that have recently been discussed:
*Whether booking travel is a joy or a nightmare
*Whether a zero inbox (or Messages) policy or a laissez-faire approach is preferable
For discussion, I'll add the following:
*Whether the toilet paper roll's open end should be over or under.
Feel free to add your own non-political wedge issues. As to the foregoing three, I say:
1.) Don't particularly like it, even though I have a s-ton of points and live in one of the most advantageous hub cities for travel.
2.) I'm a laissez-faire guy. Doesn't bother me.
3.) Over, obvs.
-
- booking travel is a joy; there's nothing better
- keeping inbox clean is a fool's errand.
- toilet paper is supposed to roll over the top; under is insanity.
- toilet seat and lid should always be closed when not in use. why would you ever want that hole to be open?
- what on earth are you doing with your car windows up when it's 75 and sunny? do you hate your life?
-
Did not realize I was so closely aligned with mocat when it comes to wedge issues. ESP the toilet lid stuff.
Here’s my wedge issue:
Pitching, sand, gap. Change my mind (you won’t)

Wait a sec, are you saying you use a gap wedge out of a sand trap or what? If so, do you at least open the face fully?

I’m saying in your bag there should be wedges three, no more no less. And those wedges should be P,S and G. Oh you have a 60 degree? Hit a lot of flop shots do ya, tiger? GTFOOMF with that baloney

Beach vs Mountains

Bucket explain yourself. You can’t just throw a chaos grenade and leave
-
Full golf bag is driver, 5, 7,9, pitching wedge, putter. The rest of the room in your bag is room that should be filled with unsanctioned beer and rum.
Beach vs mountains is a toughie. Really depends on the beach. I rough ridin' hate full beaches.
Travel planning is awful. I am always worried that I am not picking the perfect beach and might end up on a full beach.
-
Related to TP:
Bidet vs dirty asses.
My take is if you were to get some mud on your hand(top of hand where all the little hairs are) would you wipe that off with a dry paper towel and consider it clean? Now imagine the mud is crap.

yeah i found this one wedge in lost and found when i worked at blue hills CC (apologies if you are a member missing a lefty titleist vokey 52 degree) and it is irl magic for me.
what's your wedge de choix?
-
Your approach to “lost and found.”
-
Pitching wedge between 75-125 yards and a 56 degree wedge for everything else.
PW is also used when I'm deep in the crap after driving my ball way out of bounds but find it and just need to make solid contact to get it back on the fairway.

I realized after that post I don't even have a toilet paper holder in my bathroom so the toilet paper goes on the tank or vanity. My last place didn't have a TP holder either but I at least installed one. My politics on this matter seems to be that TP shouldn't go in a holder.

Winter vs. Summer is a hot topic with the cat brethren I follow on twitter.

Your approach to “lost and found.”
that was a whole discussion among the cc employees. there are always dozens of clubs in lost & found. it was deemed ethical to claim anything left at the end of a season when the course shuts down.

woods: 1,3,5
irons: 4-9
wedges: P, G(49deg), 56, 60
hybrids: GTFO i'm not 75 years old good grief!
The 60 degree was a boondoggle b/c I was drunk with power during my fitting the guy brought over the 60 and i was like lol and he was like just give it a try and i nutted every single swing so i was like okay fine

Some that have recently been discussed:

One of the greatest joys

Inbox zero by end of week

Just college apartment it and on the back of the bowl. jk over the top.

I think the 60 degree is the single best club for anyone that isn’t near a scratch golfer. Thing is like a cheat code.

I didn’t know they even made cargo shorts anymore. Are they 5 inch inseam now?

I don't own any cargo shorts, because I'm a white-shoed officer of the court. But I understand the argument that they have utility. As Frank Lloyd Wright said, "Form and function are one."

I feel like we might finally be getting to the issues ITT that actually matter.
-
I have a pair of cargo shorts that are probably approaching 20 years old and utilize them about once a year when I remember to wear them when I go fishing.
-
I can't imagine wearing khaki shorts without the extra bulk pockets.
I even have a cargo swimsuit :Rusty:
-
I refuse to wear short shorts so I keep rocking the cargo shorts.
Are all cargo shorts wearers anti short shorts, too, or is that just me? Not all of my shorts are cargo shorts, fwiw.
-

If I'm in a situation where I need that many pockets I'm probably in a situation where I would strongly prefer wearing pants.
Maybe a wedge issue, but I don't understand how people can wear shorts in dusty or grimey work environments. Like, a farm for example.

What are ya’ll cargo short wearing dudes putting in your pockets? 99% of my life is lived with phone/wallet/keys.
-
Nothing most of the time

I don’t currently have cargo shorts but cargo pockets were absolutely BITB for phone and wallet when I did have them.

Do not wear in public. Strictly for mowing and work around the house, like what mich described.

My headphones case, a paper towel(allergy season and still a dad), and that is about this. When I had small kids though, those things were like a Batman utility belt.

Used to have some back when a phone would fit in the 5th pocket. Now, not for me, but do your thing.
-
There are shorts and pants that have the utility of cargo but without the floppy pocket and a narrower cut. Check out Kuhl pants or Eddie Bauer guide pro shorts. But if you guys say those are cargo, then I’m firmly pro cargo. When hiking or traveling or whatever, I want my stuff securely zipped up.
Mountain over beach obviously. And we’ve had this discussion in the travel or VQ THREAD. Beaches on a mountain lake are primo.

question for the cargo shorts wearers:
do you guys always order the latest generation pocket hose or just stick with the one you have? Obviously I assume you have a pocket hose for every hose bibb at your home

I wore them when I worked in the field because they were v handy. I don't even own a pair of jeans now, so not really my jam.

How often do you wash jeans? Casual ones that haven’t suffered a spill. 1-3 times a year.

I used to wear jeans a couple of times before washing them but I pretty much wash them after wearing them once, now. I also only wear jeans a couple times a year.

depends on how much sweat I get on them, sometimes one and done. Usually every 5-10 wears or so. I just wear levis so no biggie.

When attempting to make plans with a friend, is it acceptable to just say “hey are you free tomorrow night?” Or do you need to specify why you’re asking? “Hey are you free tomorrow? Wanted to go check out that new tapas place”
Feel free to answer from the POV of either the asker or the askee

I would go with the second as it provides more context.
Maybe I have plans tomorrow night but I do want to check out that tapas place and now I know you're interested as well.
-
In my younger days I’d probably be equally fine with either. Now if someone asks whether I’m free, my knee jerk response is “not sure, what did you have in mind?”
-
Yes, I saw a funny tweet that was something to the effect of “do I have plans later? Bruh I’m going to need some more information before I answer that”
But I could see the Friendship Purist argument of it shouldn’t matter what the activity is, you either want to hang out with them or you don’t

What if your friend was planning to jump off a cliff tomorrow night? Huh?!
But seriously, whether I'm free is truly dependent on the ask.
-
If you ask if I'm free without context the answer will always be "maybe"

A true "friendship purist" would not expect a friend to hang out unconditionally or without context

Guess this one wasn’t quite the wedge issue I thought it would be

I don’t recall a guy ever asking me if I was free without stating what for.

To screen peek: (v) the act of peeking at a stranger's electronic screen, e.g., phone, computer, etc., when utilizing common carriers such as planes, trains, or public transportation.
Are you a screen peeker? I'm not, myself. I follow the Golden Rule and adhere to the social compact, so as not to intrude in others' privacy in such a manner.
Come at me, voyeurs. :comehere:
