Dear shane,

In the event of mass zombie outbreak on the golf course, which club would be the best to keep, and is picking off zombies at long distance acceptable practise?

Yours gratefully

Robbie

Once again, either an iron or a wedge is your best bet, due to the ease of swinging.

If you have the accuracy to pick off a zombie, GO FOR IT. Just make sure your bag is stocked with spare golfballs.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #51 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 09:50 »

You'd probably want to carry some spare clubs then, since you'll be breakin zombie skulls with 'em

valley_parade · « **Reply #52 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 09:51 »

If you don't carry hybrid irons, you should have six irons and two or three wedges to work with.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #53 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 09:53 »

Still, I mean there's probably a legion of zombies to break your clubs on

valley_parade · « **Reply #54 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 09:56 »

Of course, if they get to other golfers first, you can steal THEIR clubs.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #55 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 10:08 »

Yeah but you can't really be sure that their corpses will be accessible. It's better to be overprepared than underprepared (are those words?)

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #56 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 10:55 »

Shane, sadly i would have to disagree with the wedges idea as the ball will likely go too high too cause the real damage from a shot.
Instead, i recommend learning to hit a low drive with a driver as then the ball may even bounce back to you and you can use it again.

I would use them but apparently not, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

valley_parade · « **Reply #57 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 10:55 »

I meant using wedges to hit zombies in the head with, Rob.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #58 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 11:09 »

Oh, in that case a lob wedge is in fact the club of choice if you are brave enough to get within ~3 arms lengths of the zombies as they are hella sharp when you turn them sideways.

Alternatively, a bladed set of clubs are pretty sharp as is and a 3 iron is long enough to stand further away from the zombies and still cause major damage. [see below for examples]

Lob wedge, note the sharp edge.

Bladed irons, sharp edged again but longer shaft for greater safety when dealing with zombies [more difficult to use for real golf though].

valley_parade · « **Reply #59 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 11:23 »

I find the lob wedge is usually the handiest club in my bag.

Then again I'm great with my wedges, to the point where I'm sometimes drafted into captain and crew tournaments for my short-game prowess.

Shane,

Is it a fashion faux pas to wear a tennis skirt on the golf course?

xoxo,
Elizabeth

P.S. I'm a girl.

P.P.S. It might not be argyle.

P.P.P.S. How about on the frisbee golf course?

Liz · « **Reply #61 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 13:02 »

Oh my god. Chicagocon idea. Frisbee golf in your most ridiculous golf gear! Argyle and flat caps all around!

Shane,

A cousin of mine has managed to not only hit a drive straight up (and have it hit him on the head), but also slice a ball so bad that it bounced off a tee marker and almost hit everyone in the group. Is there any hope for his game?

Also how much am I allowed to laugh at him about this?

Unless you use a 2-iron (you crazy idiot, why not just take a shovel head instead) you actually should have 7: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

SilentJ · « **Reply #64 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 19:31 »

I have eight, because I do, in fact, have a 2-iron. (yeah it is a pretty awful club)

What is an unacceptable amount to drink on the golf course if drinking with people with no regard for the consequences of their actions?

"I'd like to birdie your hole."

"I'll use my wood on this one."

"I promise you I won't bogey on your course."

"I won't leave any divets on your green." (I... I don't know if this one works.)

I think you know the answer.

Liz, wouldn't it be more accurate to say "I won't birdie on your course"? 'Cause see, bogey is one shot above par, meaning you finished later then you were expected to. If you birdie, you're finishing early.

I guess some of the professional female golfers wear skirts. I don't see a problem with it.

What the fuck is ridiculous about a flat cap? I'd wear mine on a daily basis if I hadn't left it at Jon's during Bostoncon.

I've done the latter. Judging by my group's reaction, you can mock him for the next three holes.

As long as you don't flip the golf cart, Brett. Drink as much as you want.

Or, if you are a woman: "I keep my green trimmed. Want to inspect it?"

Patrick · « **Reply #73 on:** 04 Mar 2009, 12:38 »

I'd launch something white in one of your 18 holes.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #74 on:** 04 Mar 2009, 14:08 »

Actually it's really launching near the holes, not in them

Patrick · « **Reply #75 on:** 05 Mar 2009, 00:27 »

You know, in actual golf, it's better my way. Otherwise, you're spot on.

A mulligan is a do-over.

valley_parade · « **Reply #79 on:** 06 Mar 2009, 08:06 »

With a group of friends, not taking anything seriously. Just go have fun and have a few drinks during your round. Then retire to the clubhouse for some tasty foods and more drinks.

So which is the one where you land the ball so close to the hole you don't have to hit it and just get to drop it in?
