Most a**h**** forget how many times they hit the ball. 🤨 The brain hasn't gone as quickly as the body yet, but yeah some guys do conveniently "forget" how to do math out on the course. 🤔 Honestly the part that pisses me off the most is slow play. Guys all checking out each other's upcoming putt on the green (like it'll make any difference) when the fairways and tee box are filled with folks waiting to hit a ball. 🤬🤬 1
TheBrownBear Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Golf is a great escape/diversion for many alcoholics/drug addicts. I know Alice Cooper also says that golf saved his life. 1

Dawkins said about Allen that he could have gone pro in just about any sport with the right coaching. Still pretty amazing that Poyer got so good without lessons. Yeah, his athleticism probably helps a lot. But even the greatest athletes struggle with golf, given how counter intuitive and highly mechanical it is. I think Poyer probably has an elite “sports IQ” more than anything. I had the good fortune of playing golf with a lot of NFL Players at charity events over the years. I think the athleticism only gets you so far. Some of these guys play many times per week (the retired ones), and they are 20 handicappers, at best, and hitting your bad slices and worm burners, etc. 1

I know Alice Cooper also says that golf saved his life. Lawrence Taylor said the same thing as well. Golf really is a great compromise for people with addictive personalities. It can become a replacement vice for people who struggle with drugs and alcohol. Even for me personally, to a lesser extreme, but when I was coming off my harder partying years, golf kind've became my replacement "fix" 2

Some people can just do $%^& the rest of us can’t. I know a couple guys like that. “What’s so hard about this?” I’ve never punched them, but I thought about it. 🤷♀️ I am ALL FOR whatever leads to a healthy and happy life for him.

Not the least of which, is that he’s now a person of faith. I’m not judging anyone who doesn’t believe, but I know it has helped Alice out.
eball Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Very happy Poyer got his life back on track. For a professional athlete I’m not at all surprised to see him get his handicap down that quickly. Golf is all about muscle memory and focus. Think too much and you’re doomed. An athlete conditioned to be disciplined can handle that.

Makes me feel like less of a nut when a successful, good looking dude like Poyer literally goes through the same thing I do. It just proves how alcoholism (and drug addiction) can touch anyone, anywhere. 1 1
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 When the core of this team wins a SB, Lorax will have lots of equity in that despite not being on the field. 1 1
