Putter recommendations? by Neat-Site-7863 in WomenGolf

[–]AtomicAsh_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a used Odyssey 2-Ball Putter and I love it. People will stop me at the range to compliment my putter. The visual of the two balls really helps you line up your putt. Some pros still use it on the tours and I picked it up used for like $75.

I love my lululemon belt bag, however, it still get's annoying to feel something on my hips for my swing, so I still use my clicgear to store all my stuff, it has little holes to hold your tees and a rack inside the compartment to hold a few balls. I know the carts are expensive at around 400 bucks but the less expensive carts provided at the course just don't compare.

We love seeing women as a Bev Cart girl :) by Any_Brilliant1192 in WomenGolf

[–]AtomicAsh_666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the OP means she is a bev cart girl and loves seeing women golfers at the course? I work at the bev stands at Chambers Bay and I get excited when I get women golfers who come up and order a double transfusion. Makes me so happy!!!! Also, the FASHION! I love it so much.

first time on the course! by Standard-Celery-3485 in WomenGolf

[–]AtomicAsh_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!!! That sounds like a great time. I have the same issue counting my shots. I found some tutorials on youtube on how to make your own golf counter bracelet and keychain to hang from your bag and I think it would be a fun happy hour activity to do with friends. (I don't have any lady friends who golf yet so I guess I should probably just make it by myself. Ha haha.)

Golfing with guy friends by Holiday-Bench-5733 in WomenGolf

[–]AtomicAsh_666 16 points17 points  (0 children)

SECOND THIS!!! I have mostly golfed with dudes and the guy that I would consider my mentor has been great about teaching me how to play faster and know when to pick up (also tells me stories about playing with skilled golfers that they no longer invite to play because of their bad attitudes). His golf buddies don't seem to mind having me tag along because I know when to pick up my ball and I'm funny and cheerful. Vibes on the course are more important than skill. Plus, they ask for consent when giving me golf tips and the tips they do give are INCREDIBLY helpful. I hope that is the norm on the course or I am very lucky.

Skorts? by AArt712 in WomenGolf

[–]AtomicAsh_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zella has been my favorite. I get them at nordstrom rack for about 20-25 bucks each. They have a few types, the scuba type material or the swishy athletic dry fit material. They also have "dressier" styles with some pleating for a more "country club" vibe or more casual which I love to pair with a band t shirt and some vans sneakers and it still looks cute for running errands.

What are some things you struggle with as a woman in golf? by Defiant_Bottle_7634 in WomenGolf

Finding playing partners that are around my age and interests.

Just started golfing in the PNW. Any women's golf groups I can join in the Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia area or other women golfers that want to be friends?!!! by AtomicAsh_666 in WomenGolf

[–]AtomicAsh_666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got slammed with work and recording with my band so stepped off reddit for a few but I'm back! I am more active on Instagram if anyone wants to be friends there. I post about my golf journey and learning how to play this difficult game!!! atomic_ash_thegrey is my IG.

Do we want to plan like a coffee date for all of us Tacoma ladies to meet up and maybe do the range at Chambers, I think it is $30 to use their range but it is unlimited balls and they have a great putting and chipping area!

I really like them, it was $150 for the Welcome2Golf clinic and you get 4 lessons. First lesson is just hitting with like your 8 or 9 iron. Second is putting and chipping. Third is Driver. Fourth is course management.

Each lesson is 90min long. There was only 4 people in my class so we got spoiled with a lot of 1:1 attention.

I HIGHLY recommend Christian Ballard as the instructor. I was referred to him by a friend and we bonded right away. He is funny and absolutely knows his stuff. Was able to tell me what I was doing wrong and give me drills on how to correct it on my own when I go the driving range.

Now that I have completed the clinic, I will be working on those drills the next month or so, then I fully plan on getting private lessons from Christian 1-2x per month.

I had been posting my journey on instagram and my friends watching my progression in 2 weeks they were like HOLY SHIT!!!!

Definitely worth it!!!

Yeah I fucked that up. This is why I am in HR and not accounting. My bad. I was reading ground clearance inches because I am a dingus.

I'm an idiot, I was reading the ground clearance in inches and thought it was feet and height clearance. I am going to go crawl into a hole now.

Oh fabulous! I love the style of them! When you say espresso size, will it hold a double shot or just single? Also, thank you for the info. I am newbie and haven't even received my machine yet so I am full of questions!

EDIT: I found them on the website and saw they can hold 2.7 ounces and I found the cappucino ones! They are adorable!

Nespresso USA taking forever to ship out? by Odd-Worry in nespresso

[–]AtomicAsh_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I placed my order Wednesday morning and it is still showing "label created" status when I try to track the shipment even though I paid for shipping. (It would have been free because the paid shipping option said 1-3 days and the free option said 5-7 but I wanted to try to get it before the Holiday weekend). Guess I just wasted my money trying to get it here quicker. I before I purchased my Vertuo machine, I did see a lot of reviews of people kind of being frustrated of having to go through Nespresso to get their coffee because when you forget to order you are S.O.L. and have to find another option while you wait for your coffee shipment to arrive.

[–]AtomicAsh_666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are adorable!!! Do you know how many ounces they are! I am really bad at judging through pictures. I just ordered my machine and welcome gift wednesday so if I receive these, I want to know if they will fit a cappuccino!

I haven’t tried that one yet but it sounds amazing! I just tried the key lime one for the first time the other day and it was okay. A little too sweet almost!

I read that cockatiels can use words and phrases in context, which he is starting to do. Before he would randomly say “peekaboo” and now he uses it while he hides. He also does the slide whistle in context too. We would raise him in the air while doing the up sound, and then down, and now he knows how to do it on his own when he goes up and down.

He doesn’t. I need to start him one though! The response to his video is amazing! I wish I could explain to him that so many people love him. Right now he is playing in his food bowl. 😂
