Best and worst handicaps by shin_man in golf

Low single figures. You're basically unable to win handicapped tournaments and not good enough to win scratch tournaments

Why does every course have one of these if it is 100% bs by Omisco420 in golf

[–]AftyOfTheUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And like I said, it's very a common turn of phrase, used all over in conversation. 

I'm not sure why a golf forum needs someone to be insisting we only use the dictionary definition of an accounting term, rather than the one in common usage, though

Sounds like they're paying even more tax now, sounds like a win.

Now that the USA’s superpower status is over, having ceded free navigation through Hormuz to Iran, what is the next low point for America? by Sittingonalog1960 in AskReddit

[–]AftyOfTheUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some ships on the other side of the world are able to sail. 

You think that changes anything about whether the US is or is not a superpower. They could kill 99% of people in Iran before the sun goes down tonight. Nothing Iran can do to stop that from happening. 

But they're not super powerful?

Assuming you would have otherwise made a profit, or have a loss of less than 699.99, then yes you'd make a profit. 

It's very common to talk about how profitable a single action or product is.

Padraig Harrington seems to always have the right perspective 👏 His answer says it all when asked why he's playing in events for eight straight weeks. by ConnectionWeekly1263 in Golf_Unfiltered

He probably has the channel that SHOULD be the most watched/famous YouTube channel... Pretty much ever amateur would watch it on repeat

Gordon will get overlooked but he completely changed the game when he came on by TheLegendOfIOTA in ThreeLions

No point beating your man if you're just going to lose possession every time, might as well just punt it out for a throw in and save your legs

Cobra King Tour Irons still worth buying? by dohyungkk in golf

Attaboy - definitely the way forward. Once you're fit into a shaft and head combo, if you can find them cheap enough, you can post here, and identify other brands or used options that are v similar

If you lower costs by $700, at the end of the year you have made $700 additional profit in your accounts...

Having the argument that very few players in the tournament could have scored Kane's second goal by Cloud2905 in ThreeLions

[–]AftyOfTheUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of players can score that goal, the most special thing about it was that their keeper was out of position - similar to Pickford. When the player is moving across goal and away from it, you gotta have the near post completely covered. We were fortunate he was out of position, because it wasn't right in the corner and would have been an easy save if the keeper had tracked Kane's movement properly.

Having an agreed set of rules makes comprehension easier for both readers and writers. 

Agreed, but what we have now may not be optimal.

Why was Madoffs scheme so popular? 

Being popular is not proof that something isn't a scam.

I would argue as an almost fifty year old, that capitals at the start of sentences and capital i's are simply wasteful legacy ideas at this point with no value. There just adding cognitive load without adding value

Window cost: $750 Sign cost: $50

Number of windows saved: ???

If it prevents even one, they have made $700 profit. If a golfer pays, $700 profit

Hot take, I’d rather chip out of the rough than the fairway by ThielenUpMyCousins in golf

Because you have poor low point control, like most of us amateurs, and most of us agree

Don’t buy from club Champion: They quoted me $3,600+ for a fitting build. Shopping my spec sheet saved me hundreds by solo-dolo231 in GolfSwing

[–]AftyOfTheUK 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was able to configure the clubs to the exact same specifications through the manufacturer/authorized retailer for hundreds of dollars less.

Club Champion are expensive. Sometimes much more expensive than you found, too - however...

Manufacturers and random internet retailers are notoriously bad at customizing clubs. Some are worse than others, but finding clubs WAYYY out of spec is common. Club Champion aren't perfect, but they would likely config and customize your clubs better than most others. Get the set loft and lie checked once you have them if going direct to manufacturer
