9.5 handicap after playing only for a year, and with no lessons? That’s seriously nuts.

Really depends how often you are playing….

 

I'd be doing 6 rounds a week if my wife was a nightmare.

It is, but it certainly helps to be a world-class athlete as well.  By hole 13-14 (no cart) I'm usually like "How many holes do we have left??"  🤪

Poyer clearly attacked the game with some serious determination - glad it helped him out so much!!!

Same my friend. I’m lucky to get out one day a weekend… I can only imagine having 7 months of work off. I’d be playing 36 on a daily basis….

 

Of course playing that much means you are financially independent.  That in and of itself helps too......

Golf actually makes me drink.

 

The 18th hole bar traditions say that you're not alone.

I kind of had that thought when I read golf was a place where he could "Be myself, have my own thoughts":

      "you mean, as opposed to echoing Rachel's?"

Also credits Lorax for helping him get his life straight 

 

Not surprised by Lorax still being a positive influence beyond retirement nor that poyer is gifted at yet another sport (for anyone not aware, he was drafted to MLB)

 

Props to Poyer on getting sober. Hope he has the structure in place to maintain it...

 

As far as Lorax goes, not surprised he was there for a teammate. 

 

I think the loss of his leadership and intensity was more significant to the overall performance of the D last year than we realize.

I think all these NFL guys are exceptional athletes.  Remember Poyer was drafted in MLB as well. 

 

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.

Damn...I thought it was serious when I heard a chick say last night a DJ saved my life...

 

I mean that's awesome golf helped him get his life in order...but I have one question to ask.

 

Can he do it in the mix?  Ha! I thought not!

At least you forget how many holes left to play.  Most a**h**** forget how many times they hit the ball. 🤨

For players who retire with team (i.e. Wood, Lorax, Kyle) they should be offered assistant positions during playoffs and then when we win Superbowl they can get their rings.
