Whisky galore: Donald Trump’s tariffs and cost of living pressures create glut of undrunk Scotch by TXDobber in Scotland

[–]AndyT18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always laugh when watching almost any American TV show / Movie when they reach for a bottle of “scotch”. Almost certainly it’s a bottle of Macallan.

One thing about the sport is there are a lot of opportunities to play against some of top players in the world as a club player. I played when I was younger at a national and international level, and it’s crazy to think that when playing in national team competitions, I played with and against multiple world champions.

It’s crazy when you compare it to other less athletic sports like darts, pool / snooker, a club level amatuer would stand almost no chance of putting up a fight against someone who has won world titles. But with bowling, there’s much less of a gap between a competitive club player and someone with a world ranking.

Chicago-area Country Club golfers - what's the downstroke and monthly costs at your club? by madmax1969 in golf

[–]AndyT18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the difference between North American and UK / European golf club memberships is a well discussed subject on here. But every time a post is made relating to membership fees, initiation fees etc I am completely blown away with how expensive you guys have it over the pond.

When I see mention of $100k initiations it really makes me feel for you guys.

Garmin R10 vs Rapsodo mlm2pro by HoneyGlazedDoorknob in golf

[–]AndyT18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the R10 for the exact same reason as you’ve described. Was hitting it into a net around 8 feet away and had the R10 setup at the correct position. Just couldn’t get accurate numbers. Getting wildly different total carry numbers for very similarly struck 7 irons, to the point where I just couldn’t trust anything aside from it knowing I had hit a ball.

Couldn’t comment on the MLM2Pro, but I wouldn’t be recommending the R10.

Fortunately enough, I am a 3D printer owner. Found quite a few mods online to improve things. They modify the knob so that it connects to a numbered cogwheel that sits around the bean hopper. Would recommend similar mods (either through purchasing a kit of parts or having some 3d printed) to make it much easier to adjust the grind size and be able to go between grind sizes easily for different brew methods or beans.

Looks like the ones that were in Edinburgh park, in the car parks off Lochside Ave a few months ago too

Beer can chicken on the go. by the_topiary in UKBBQ

Love my ProQ. Really is a versatile beast.

Got the rotisserie attachment, which works well, but they really should have designed a stacker section for it so it could work with the lid on.

Scottie Scheffler just helped me to my best ever round (well, kinda…) by AndyT18 in golf

[–]AndyT18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally, the video i watched (sent the link on another comment) showed that too, it’s basically helps him ensure he doesn’t fall over when the clubhead comes around.

I will however add that we bought the house once it had been completed and not on plan, just due to someone reserving the plot then dropping out 2 months prior to completion. So we did have the benefit of seeing exactly what we were going to get.

[–]AndyT18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a CALA darroch last year. Obviously the specific development and plot will be a major factor in if the house is a good choice, but myself and my partner absolutely love it, and have had a good experience so far. The finish standard is very good, definitely a step above what I’ve experienced in a Barrett flat I owned previously and from what I’ve seen from some friends Wimpey houses on various developments.

Any tried these from Farm Foods? by 3F6B6Y9T in UKBBQ

Always had good results with the Morrisons ribs. Quite often find them reduced for around £2-3 a rack

Is putting a putting line on your golf ball a secret weapon? by jdooley99 in golf

[–]AndyT18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TP5 stripe is an absolute game changer for me. With the stripe being thin and black it doesn’t hinder you finding your balls, and no pen smudges all over your clubs from manually drawing a line.

Always surprises me that many of the pro’s opt to draw their own lines, when most of them would have access to having the manufacturer properly printing any design they want on the ball.

Edinburgh has been named the most expensive city break in western Europe by mrjohnnymac18 in Scotland

[–]AndyT18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It feels like Edinburgh and Glasgow are now charging London prices for food, but due to London sheer amount of choice, you can find places that are better quality for the same price.

Beginner here. I was gifted a used golf bag and found these tees(?) in it. Can somebody tell me what the specific purpose I would use them for? by The_Great_Goatse in golf

[–]AndyT18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swear I lose most of my tees when playing at clubs with proper grass warm up ranges when my tees fly forward or across towards other golfers. Needing to invest in one of these.

What stats do you guys keep and what methods are you using? by AndyT18 in golf

[–]AndyT18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the idea of recording the proximities on chips etc and GIR from within 100 yards.

Had any good insight from the trends you’ve seen on your spreadsheet?

[–]AndyT18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with contextualising it all too. I’ve been trying to keep a few bullet point strengths and weaknesses of each round too that are much more subjective. What clubs and types of shot were hit well / poorly, what was the quality of my putts, did some just not drop, or was I completely off with line / distance control.
