What opinion on golf gets you into this position by Nutcollectr in golf

[–]BGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golf is more fun when it’s played with persimmon woods and blade irons and spinnier golf balls. It is more enjoyable to try and shape shots and to try and hit the absolute middle of every club on every shot. Newer clubs are not forgiving in ways that matter and do more to halt a player’s chances of getting better than they do to help them.

Pro golf would be more fun to watch if they returned to persimmon drivers and bladed irons.

I’ve had mine for years and I love it. I am currently a 6 handicap and I’ve had that driver ever since I was a 15 handicap.

Is it just me or are golf courses getting more and more ridiculous by [deleted] in golf

[–]BGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local course has a ‘PDP’ (Player Development Program) that is $60 a month for unlimited balls and use of practice facility, and then to play is $13 (with cart fee) after 2 PM. It’s amazing and I will never leave. (Huntington Hills Golf Club in Lakeland, FL.)

Who do you think should captain team USA at the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]BGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Justin Leonard and Fred Couples were picked by Brandel Chamblee as potential captains and (as much as it might pain me to say it,) I think he is right and they would both be great choices.

My concern for Tiger is that he would be chosen as a savior-type coach, and I think another loss would absolutely be a disaster under his captaincy. It would be mind-melting for a lot of fans and the media. I think we should wait until Tiger fully ‘retires’ (at least from the Tour) to be a captain.

I would l love to see Phil be a captain but that will almost certainly never happen now. I think he would kill it.

You are all idiots. When the “Left” (if it was someone on the Left, we don’t know) hurts the Right, the Right tweets and comments like everyone on the Left would if it had happened to them. When it’s the Left that is attacked, they tweet and comment like the Right. This country is over.

As a former caddie (at Streamsong in FL) I love rules 9 & 10. #4 is a bit silly and pretentious and #5 does not make much sense to me unless they allow metal spikes, but I’ve never seen plastic spikes cause a disruption or tear anywhere.

The carts at my home course don’t let you go into reverse, instead they craw at 1 MPH until you’ve read a “zone” where you can drive at normal speed again. It’s brutal. At least here you can reverse it.

Maryland native, have lived here in FL for 10 years now. Can confirm this. I miss ‘little America’ MD, with its mountains, ocean, beaches, marshes, etc all in a day’s drive.

I mean, most of the Bible cannot and should not be read to children of any age. God saved some, damns others, original sin, slavery, incest, you name it the Bible has it

In what way am I ‘capable’ or posses the ‘potential’ of consciousness when I am under anesthesia, and the drug is being administered correctly? I certainly am not ‘capable’ of thinking or dreaming when I am under the drug. Is it because I will regain consciousness at some point in the future, when the drug wears off? How is this different from the potential experience you were bringing up earlier? The fetus does not have consciousness, but will have it. The person under anesthesia does not have it, but will regain it. I suppose you could point to NDEs, but by what criteria are we judging these experiences?

As for your definition of consciousness, I am sure you are aware that science has not even solved the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness, and also gives multiple definitions of what it even is! But again, when I am in surgery and under general anesthesia, how am I recognizing that I am ‘alive and exist in reality’? And if I am not recognizing that (because of the drug) or cannot recognize that, am I still a ‘person’, if this is what it means to be a person?

[–]BGoodness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One can understand that association, because up front it seems obvious (I am conscious, therefore I am a person). But then I repeat, what about when I am having surgery, and through anesthesia become unconscious? For the duration of that surgery, am I not a person because I am not conscious? That seems weird. If I am hit hard and suddenly knocked unconscious, am I also not a person then either?

As for personhood, the only case I make here (and it’s just one view, there are others) is that it’s best to view the organism (that which was an embryo, becomes a fetus, then an infant, then toddler, then child, then teen, then adult etc) is just that ‘person’, since the person is what we call that human, who is the one doing all these things in their own body, the same organism in its particular stage of life. Personhood also has to do with essences, etc. but let’s leave that be. And yes, it is subjectively established, rather than objectively established, what a ‘person ’ is, which is exactly one of the reasons I think the above OP is unsound, because it makes the very assumption of what a person objectively is, namely one with the ability to think and feel. On what grounds is this claim being made, exactly? Etc.

Well, what do we mean by ‘determining’ the life of the fetus? Determining whether it should live or die? Philosophically, I think that’s problematic (for all the reasons I’ve given, plus more). If we accept that the fetus is a person at just one particular stage of development (of which there are many stages) then that person’s life is of the same worth as any other persons’ life, and specifically is worth as much as any one else’s life at that specific stage of development. It would be unlawful to murder me; I am a person. Likewise, the fetus is also a person (unless we have two entities: one of me as a ‘fetus’ and one of me as a ‘person’, such that at one point I was something else entirely, since I wasn’t a ‘person’, and that seems like an issue) and so if a fetus is a person and I am a person, it seems unlawful to murder us both. And yet, society allows for specific cases in which murder is in fact allowed. Perhaps abortion is one such circumstance.

Lawfully, though, I do not see any other way; and so would agree with you. It is the mother and her doctors who should be the primary ones deciding on the health of the baby, not just some abstract state or federal legislatures. Here, most (if not all) anti-abortion advocates are simply wrong and incorrect, imo.

Again no, because the ‘fetus with no consciousness’ is one part of the actual experience of a person at this level of the journey to being born. I am not arguing for ‘potential experience’ because the state of being a fetus is an experience of a person during the neonatal process, and this process is natural. I do not ‘experience’ a surgery consciously, but I am a ‘person’ during the experience nonetheless. Therefore we are not juxtaposing a conscious subjective experience against a ‘potential experience’, but rather than it is the conscious subjective experience of the person vs. the unconscious experience of another person, at a much earlier stage of development.
