   Anyone spitting on any putting surface should be hung from the nearest tree or shot on the spot! Neither has to be fatal but just painful enough for them to never want to spit again. I personally find that one of the most disgusting things we see on a golf course.

   Played baseball well into my forties. Never chewed or felt the need to have a big wad of gum in my mouth. I have never understood the need to spit all the time. I still play a form of baseball modified for the beach. Fortunately, no more base running. Just hitting into a prescribed court and defense. The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club puts on the World Championship Over-the Line-Tournament every summer. We are currently competing in the Cadaver division for players 60 and over. If I can make it to the Mummy division, 70 and over, we will actually be able to wear gloves. That should cut down on the broken or jammed fingers! Very rare to see players spitting and we have over 1200 3 player teams. Since we play in the sand, I guess you would not notice the spitting.
   
   If you can't legally hang or shoot the spitters on a golf green, they should be immediately disqualified from further play!

   Cannot verify the truth in this story but one of my regular Saturday and Sunday group was a offensive co-ordinator for over 35 years with stops at Texas, Texas A&M, Miss State, LSU, UT, Vandy & Fla. One year many years while at Vandy they upset Tenn at the end of the year. A prominent alum of the school and a member at Augusta flew the entire coaching staff the following Sunday to play there. Someone on the staff was observed spitting a nice load of tobacco juice on a green by the superintendent at the time. He was politely reminded if it happened again the entire group would be removed from the golf course. All truth, embelishment or whatever it makes for a nice story.

   Although tobacco juice/spit is disgusting, is anyone else seeing sunflower seed shells on their greens?

   We see sunflower seeds nearly daily! Don't understand that one either. What is the need to chew sunflower seeds while golfing?

   We had a tournament about a month ago that had 4 cases of sunflower seeds donated to them for the goody bags. I saw these cases and promptly picked them up and hid them in my bosses office. My boss hadn't seen them until I brought them into his office and agreed 100% that was the right move. Donated them to a local softball league our bar managers husband plays in. The only sunflower shells I want on my greens are the sunflower ash fertilizer......if I used it.

   In my younger days I was invited to play golf with two bosses and a Japanese businessman. I rode with the businessman. On the first fairway one of the bosses loaded up with Beechnut and a few minutes later spit out a steam. The businessman was thoroughly offended and asked if it bothered me. I told him, "If they get it on the green it bothers me." Three holes later my boss missed and got a little on the green. As he was addressing his putt the businessman poked him in the back, pointed at me and said, "You know HE does not like it when you do that!"

    Once as a young superintendent I puked from the greens mower, luckily I was in transport mode between greens.

    Charlie that is totally acceptable. Could have been a day after a night of drinking with Lincoln I'm sure.

    One of my guys, the day after the staff party, was walk mowing greens. The urge came over him halfway through a stripe. He calmly took one hand off the mower, pulled open the top of his tee shirt, tilted his head forward and barfed. Not a drop on the green. Continued cutting the remaining five greens without missing a beat.
    He won the "Day After Party Dedication Award" that year

    Next year you should get your guys uniform shirts with pockets. That way he wouldn't have to take a shower.
