Dude, I worked in SSA disability for awhile. I know my candidate pool is biased towards the worst, but don't get a back surgery unless there's something traumatic that requires it, or you are in dire pain 24/7 and have exhausted all other options.
Usually pain free. Today I did a hike with about 4500 ft. of vertical and the mobility scooters in the grocery store were shamelessly batting their eyes at me. "Come on, baby, just take me for a ride. You might like it." In the lower left hand corner of your screen (scroll all the way to the bottom) there should be a drop down box. Does it say "The Idiot Board v1.3 (no avatars)"? If so, click on it and switch it to the normal 1.3 version. I added the no avatars version for people who wanted to browse at work.
Adults will never outgrow being able to drive around little vehicles, we can’t resist at the opportunity. It’s why 75% of people golf— because the carts are so much fun to drive around and injure your friends with.
I feel like golfing with a cart is, like, the worst possible way to enjoy a golf cart. The drives between holes are short, you can't do anything too reckless lest you damage the course, if you change your mind on a club you either need to have brought them with you or walk back to the cart, and so much time is spent walking to and from the cart instead of straight to the next spot. I'm not really a big golfer so maybe I just haven't spent enough time on shit municipal courses where you can drive the cart anywhere? Push carts are universally better. Fight me. I used to work some event circuits and that is a fun use of a golf cart. No restrictions on where you go, finding hills to jump them off was practically a job requirement, and after hours we'd figure out how to remove the speed limiters. Richard Gere browses this place in his off hours.
I have never had an issue with cart pathing. The club I play has a GPS that tells you the distance to the pin and is slightly faster than most carts. I just wish the caddies were less retarded.
I was on the golf team in high-school for a couple of years, playing in the mountains and foothills of NC. We had to walk and carry our bags. What a crappy way to enjoy a game, and push carts make only slightly less crappy. I went back to baseball my final years, it took less physical effort! Where the hell do you even carry the beer cooler? I like drinking on a golf course. If a game of golf happens to break out, I'll join and play.
I know, right? Walking in the mountains on a nice day sucks so much. Maybe you drink more than me. I can fit a six pack of cans in the bottom of my golf bag with a cold pack. I definitely do not need more than 6 beers during the course of a golf game.
I'm actually mostly sober, only drinking about five times a year. I just finished a 12 pack of Wicked Weed that I bought last fall. The golf course is one exception where I'll pound beers like a frat boy, as long as I have a DD. Six beers might work for nine holes, or half a golf. I don't really play that often, anymore.
As a casual golfer, I love the fact that other people are willing to shit the bed while driving a powerful vehicle for my entertainment. Because I certainly never fucked around like this:
Yeah I get it. My town has all roundabouts and no stop lights. It's better insofar as people know roundabout etiquette, which people absolutely do not.
That is the first thing i make sure i have packed. I am a complete bag of smashed assholes if i don't get even one shitty nights sleep with my cpap machine.
The first time, they can be a little confusing until you figure out where to look. Confident drivers whiz around them fast and you gotta gas it to get in there sometimes. The next big city over that I visit maybe 6 times a year has 3 of them on my path to Costco. The first time I experienced them, I was so baffled after I got out of the last one once that I blew through a stop sign. I'm shocked I didn't cause an accident. I'm good now, but I was once THAT person.
I got myself a new belt. One with a ratcheting buckle. This thing is awesome. No more large, adjustments based on the holes in the leather. If I need to let out only a 1/4" after a trip to the Mexican restaurant, I can do it. Love this thing.
