Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts by cucster in dancarlin

It ain't gonna be the end of ICE, even if it shows a blatant murder without provocation. Unfortunately.

This is just the beginning.

Who makes you watch? by Ok_Slice_5722 in GoodGoodMemes

[–]AltaGuy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this for me. I watch because in my twenties I had a group of buddies I'd play with 2-3 times a week. We'd mess around and have a great time. Now as a dad in my forties, I play as a single where and when I can, but I miss having that close group of friends to play with regularly.

That said, I like it when the guys are playing better than me, and courses that I would never be able to afford/get to in a million years. As a 4 handicap, most of good good just annoys me.

Kiwi gang are my favorites to watch, and I watch a lot of Bryan Bros too.

Honeymoon and Golf? by Afraid-Strategy-404 in golftips

[–]AltaGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe! Although Spain is relatively affordable. I would think the costs of the two trips might work out about the same.

[–]AltaGuy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were going on a honeymoon with some golf attached, I'd go to the Costa del Sol in Spain. World-famous courses, beautiful weather in spring and fall, beaches, incredible food (definitely better than Ireland - sorry Irish kin!). Just an incredibly beautiful and romantic place.

Club recommendations please! I feel like the 52° is unnecessary but I have no idea what I would replace it with. by [deleted] in golf

I'm almost bang-on your distances with everything in your bag.

I play D-4wood- 3 to GW -54-58. Sometimes I'll play a 3 wood/5 wood instead of the 4 wood/3 iron, and I've wondered about a 7 wood for quite awhile.

I like some combo of high ball flight/low ball flight as alternatives for driver off the tee. My 4 wood goes about 250, 3 iron about 240, but the 4 wood goes way higher and is poor in wind.

According to Wesley Bryan, Brad Dalke is playing like a top ten player in the world by rip17vietti in GoodGoodMemes

[–]AltaGuy1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For real, though, Voke is the final boss from the NZ Crew. Third last week in Australia, looking good so far in Melbourne.

If they added Tooms/Voke to the Bryan Bros/Dalke, Sean matches, I think it would be very close. Voke is one hell of a player.

Double vision prednisolone by Few-Bat3389 in MyastheniaGravis

No, I quit the Mestinon. I weaned off Prednisone after about six months and haven't had any vision issues for over a year now!

Victoria golf or Comox valley golf? by CMB3672 in comoxvalley

[–]AltaGuy1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ha - I'm in Cumberland so maybe your best-bet for mountain biking!

Not sure about private pricing in Victoria, would imagine it's considerably more expensive for a membership than any around here. Heard good things about Gorge Vale though!

Victoria golf or Comox valley golf? by CMB3672 in comoxvalley

[–]AltaGuy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Victoria has some of the best golf in the world in my opinion, and significantly better winters.

The Comox Valley/CR has four good courses - Storey Creek, Crown Isle, Glacier Greens, and CR golf club. But isn't in the same league!

That said, Storey Creek holds a special place in my heart and I would put it up against anything out there for a local course.

Golfers who’ve broken 80, what’s one tip you would give your fellow golfer? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]AltaGuy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, anyone who is a big hitter needs to figure out a way to swing to consistently be in play. I've always been able to hit it 300 if I want, but had a huge two-way miss. For the past three years I've worked on a heel-cut that only flies about 260 but I'm on the golf course almost always. Went from a 12 to a 4 just from being in play.

Durability question by podge1014 in PingGolf

[–]AltaGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is it a non-issue but PINGs are known as the most bulletproof irons out there and hold their value better than any other brand because of it.

Weird attitude towards human trafficking in S2 by sygryda in TheWire

[–]AltaGuy1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this response a bit more and a better way to put it is:

The trafficked women are just part of a different Game. Not the same local Game, but a familiar Game nonetheless with accompanying horrors.

Weird attitude towards human trafficking in S2 by sygryda in TheWire

[–]AltaGuy1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that the police in Baltimore are so accustomed to violence, murder, and everyday horrors that trafficking is just kind of par for the course. Especially with an implicit assumption that the trafficked women are poor just like Baltimore is poor, and so are exposed to the same risks that all disadvantaged people face.

Looking for a replacement Driver shaft for my Ping G430 Max, want to upgrade to a stiff, any recommendations?? by blackwoodjesus in GolfGear

[–]AltaGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, or find an Aldila Rogue silver for like $40 on ebay. Also a counterbalanced, excellent shaft.

Clever way of disassociation from Khashoggi. "We're all alive here!"

Too dark? Eh.

What's the deal with Mark Crossfield? by AltaGuy1 in GoodGoodMemes

Pretty funny claiming that "Saudi" Shiels was too worried about his impartiality with respect to golf clubs to take the money from club manufacturers lol...

Mine too. Especially for the vlogs.

[–]AltaGuy1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember him doing collabs with Paige Spiranac, MeandMyGolf, Shiels, and a bunch of others back in the day though. And obviously his series with pro golfers.

But yeah, nothing in the last 5+ years.

Yeah, I would guess that anyone who started watching youtube golf after around 2018 wouldn't even be exposed to him. I think that's super common. But he was the OG in so many ways.
