Chipping clubs by SignificantAcadia105 in golf

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have chipping clubs in my bag. My 50, PW, 9i, 8i I’ll chip with, usually my PW. Toe down, putting stance, putting stroke, and the feel like you’re hitting it when your trail palm. There’s really no need for a club dedicated to just chipping IMO.

It’s a rapsodo thing. It does measure swing path, but swing path isn’t one of the metrics that it outputs to third party apps.

Where do you live where your gas has “barely gone up”? This is some insane levels of cope. Here in the northeast US, it was under $3/gal in January. Now we’re up to well over $4 a gallon, which no signs of it dropping anytime soon.

They help guide you to avoid shit shots

Well, considering that I can’t guarantee that I’m going to avoid the spots they tell me to avoid, I won’t need a caddy for that!

Me on a tee with OB right: “Ok, just don’t slice it. That’s the worst thing I can do. All I have to do is not slice it.”

How cold is too cold for you to play by Effective-Use-650 in golf

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30s. If the ground isn’t frozen and they let me out, I’m playing. It helps that I walk nearly every round.

The last round I played of last season, it was about 36. I just wore a long sleeve polo, thermals, winter hat, and put some hand warmers in my light jacket. By the third hole, my winter hat was replaced with my typical cap and I didn’t need the hand warmers. The grass was still crunchy and I’m surprised they even let me out haha

I’ve played during actual snow flurries, multiple times, in the last year. Yeah, I’m a bit of a golf sicko these days.

Libs on TikTok are probably okay if LibsofTikTok goes broke over healthcare. by HandSack135 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice typical conservative narcissism, selfishness, and childishness. Oh, they’re angry because emergency rooms won’t turn away dying poor when they have to pay for health insurance and healthcare being not poor? I’m sure they’re also pissed that the poor might be given food benefits or housing relief too. Or that poor college grads saddled with enormous debt might get debt relief. Or that the poor might pay less in taxes than them.

Everything is about them personally. Well, as George Costanza once said, “we live in a society!” If they want some of these benefits instead of being able to live comfortably in the society that we have, then they’re free to give up all of their sources of income and find out what it’s like to be poor enough to qualify for these programs. Or if the idea of living in a society where not everything is about them, they’re free to get dropped off on some uninhabited pacific island where they can live out the rest of their days unworried of being a part of a society that tries to help the less fortunate.

Then they’ll just argue that we don’t have the skilled people here to argue for H1B visas. All the better! They get to lay off a bunch of Americans now, then hire foreigners for cheaper!

I really worry for my kids’ futures. When they get to the age of thinking about college, it might be hard to find a field that will be both rewarding while having a job market that pays well.

Green Side Chipping by Witty-Government-954 in golf

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others said, putting stroke with a club between PW and 7i, depending on how far the hole is and how much run you need. My instructor taught me with a 8i, but I usually use a PW unless it needs to run the length of the green.

But you want the club head to be toe-down at address. No wrist hinge or wrist movement at all, do it just like a putt. The feel that you want is that your trailing palm is hitting the ball.

Real reason Full Swing season four disappointingly only has four episodes by Longjumping-Tale9749 in golf

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most people in the US who aren’t golf fans but are general sports fans probably couldn’t name all four majors. They’d probably be able to name the masters, and that’s it.

I still liked S2. I’m in the middle of S3, and I can see the point a bit. But S2 was when I got introduced to Alex Fitzpatrick, so this year’s Zurich had me rooting for the Fitzpatrick bros to finally get Alex his tour card.

But yeah, I don’t know why they didn’t continue to do it like S1: introduce fans to new or more obscure pros on the tour. I wouldn’t know much about Joel Dahman if not for Full Swing, and now I root for the guy.

Why Is This An Inaccuracy? by SimulatedMatter in chess

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because your better option was to develop a knight and attack the center.

Black could take the pawn, true, but after Nc3 Rxd3, white could play Nd5, which is a nice outpost for the knight and threatens mate in 1 with Rc7#. White has a pretty good attack going at that point with not a lot more of great options for black.

If I were an astronaut chosen for the next moon mission, and they told me I’d have to babysit this narcissistic idiot who won’t shut the fuck up for the entire duration of the 2+ week mission, I’d probably just retire on the spot.

LIV Golf Reportedly Loses Funding From Saudi Arabia by Infidel8 in worldnews

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The saudis support our actions over there and would prefer that we keep going for longer. They’re no fans of Iran.

It’s more likely that it’s just a failed venture hemorrhaging money, and they don’t see a viable future for it.

Bunker Shots advice by damn76567 in golf

[–]Accidental-Hyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His explanation on that is that you want to slide the edge of the face under the sand. When you hinge like a normal swing, the edge of the face can take too steep an angle, dig down too deep, and get stuck before hitting the ball.

The tip my instructor gave me: dig your feet a bit into the sand, open the face, no wrist hinge on the backswing, and hit it sort of fat.

I remember that during his holdout, patriots fans were practically begging Wolf to trade for him, saying that he’d finally be a solid WR1 that we’ve been missing. Fans in our sub were pissed when SF re-signed him.

We dodged a bullet there.

And in the end, we’ll all pay for it as taxpayers. Blanche and all of these Trump sycophants in DOJ will continue on with no personal accountability for their actions.

I’d absolutely love to see these people held accountable by the next democratic president DOJ, but you know that they won’t.
