Why golf club btw? If this were a bat, I'd say your chances are much higher, but a golf club is such an odd weapon choice. | ||

and i don't think It would be that hard to nail the wolf in the head. i can nail a baseball with a bat, which is smaller than a wolf head and moving much faster - AND not connected to a body. and I think that the blow might kill the wolf. that is a lot of force over a small area. but I definitely wouldn't be confident about it. but I don't think it would keep coming after me. | ||

Though when TeamLiquid brought Manifesto home I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So where there two of, there was two of us in the wolf pack.. I was alone first in the pack and then Manifesto joined in later. And six months ago when Manifesto introduced me to the rest of MiR, I thought, “Wait a second could it be?”. And now I know for sure.. I just added more guys to my wolf pack. Four+ of us wolves, running around the internet together in TeamLiquid; looking for progamers and playing Starcraft. So tonight, I make a toast! Finally someone talking some sense in this thread. Seriously where do people come up with this stuff? | ||

Let me set a little more strict paramaters... the wolf is intent on killing you and will not retreat until you are dead. You are on a golf course, are a good yardage away, and aware the wolf is going to try to kill you; giving you ample time to prepare for a swing. **SINGLE WOLF** no pack. ** Using an iron not a wood (a little more sturdy and shorter allowing the whole club to at least have some sort of power behind it)** Also the word confidently seems to edge any normal person to say no so he worded it in his favor... Im not going to grab a golf club and go wolf hunting. Im making a point that a melee armed person could beat a single wolf and that it doesnt escape the realm of possibility. Also option B is a 10x worse idea IMO. Sorry bro. I think most sane people in here would agree that you stand little chance against a wolf if you have a golf club -- although there is still a chance, of course. So it really depends on what you actually think you'll be able to do, and if you can bet on making that same decision when the time comes. The problem I have with swining the club, is that it would be nearly impossible to time the swing being as you don't know when this 35 mph wolf is going to pounce. And of course the biggest problem -- being rushed at by a rabid animal known to tear animals to pieces -- are you that sure you'll be cool headed enough to time a swing with a golf club? Or will you, perhaps by instinct, do the "oh shit get away from me stance" and defend your vitals, take the fight to the ground, and go from there (I agree running is dumb, I just put it up there as an option). Now will you have a better chance on the ground? Hell if I know, you'll probably die. But I'd personally defend myself as opposed to putting my life into the hands of a near impossible clean hit from a golf club. And don't try to criticize my poll when it describes exactly what you were thinking when this argument started -- you were cocky as hell, you were positive you'd kill a wolf if int he situation. Which is why you're argument was in no way practical, as it was actually a situation where you would actually die 8/10 times. So when your chances are 20% or less, don't talk like you know what you're doing. And at the end of the day, 95% people would shit their pants and try to block the initial pounce with the golf club, as opposed to lining up for a home run swing. sorry bro | ||

trying to run away from a wolf is an idiotic choice unless there's something very close by to climb up on that a wolf would not be able to traverse I do not think me using a golf club as a barrier will do much to a 95 pound object running 40 mph straight at me. so I hope to god I make solid contact with the club and injure the wolf enough so that the wolf considers me a poor decision to continue attacking. otherwise, I pray I end up at the wolf's back and controlling it's neck, although in all likelihood it would probably manage to spin around and I'd end up on my back facing a whole lot of wolf teeth | ||

With this rationale, I think I would go for the crippling blow with the bottom of my foot to the animal's jaw. I would use the golf club to either delay the charge or to incapacitate the wolf after the kick. | ||

So if it came right down to it; Gratz on winning your rhetorically advantageous poll. On the other hand it seems alot of people agree option A is your best shot (based soley on this forum the number exceeds your assumed 5%) so your secondary argument was a bit of a bust. (if based on the poll and forum responses you chose to utilize) | ||
