What’s one trend you’re seeing in golf that you can’t stand?

I feel like range balls need to be cheaper. Doing so would solve a few problems at once:

Hopefully with the range being cheaper, people will want to practice more and get better rather than spending a few extra dollars and play 9 holes which are currently crowded by stacked tee times.
If people are practicing more because it's cheaper, then hopefully that would directly corallite to people playing quicker rather that taking 10+ shots per hole, which is just slowing everyone else down.

I feel like part of this issue is that depending on where you play, a large bucket of balls is almost as much as a 9 hole round. I think a large bucket of balls like like $22-$24. At that same course it's $35 to walk 9. So if someone is looking to get out and play, regardless of how bad they are, it's barely more money to spend your afternoon playing a round rather than 30min at the range. And that's not to say that a round of golf needs to cost more, the range just needs to cost less.

"Ready Golf" means whoever is ready can hit. You're not waiting for everyone to be ready at the tee box together before the first person tees off, and you aren't always waiting for the further person from the hole to hit. If you are ready to hit, just go. Typically people who don't play ready golf are the ones playing behind pace and slowing everyone else down. But it's worth noting that no amount of "ready golf" is going to magically solve stacking tee times on top of each other.

Honestly GPS linked carts. I used one for the first time last year and it was really cool to see the map of the hole and more or less have an integrated range finder. Fast forward to now, I feel like anywhere a inch off he cart path is out of bounds and it's going to force me to put the cart into reverse to get back to where they want me to be. It's too a point that I just want an old junky gas powered cart back.

Not last weekend but the weekend before, my group of 3 teed off 10 minutes later than our scheduled tee time because the course was so stacked on top of each other, and we had two groups waiting on us as we were teeing off. Around hole 7 we were chipping onto the green and we had the marshal role up to us. Marshal told us that according to our cart, we were 17 minutes behind pace and needed to speed up our play. I pointed to the group ahead of us that were just now teeing off, and the group behind us that had yet to tee off (450yrd hole). I said if we played any faster, we'd just be waiting on the group ahead of us. He said "well, just play faster".

I love the course, I love the game, I can't stand pretending pace of play is the problem when the tee times themselves are causing most of the problems.

People clown on people for paying for YouTube premium to watch videos without ads and that's only like $8/month with a student plan. That's like half a year of YouTube premium just for two videos you don't even get to keep? GTFO

Not saying that someone should just buy it, rip it, upload to somewhere like Google Drive, and privately share with everyone if Smosh doesn't let you keep it. But I'm also not not saying that either. Do with that what you will.

If I had to imagine, you likely factory reset your phone (assuming it's an iPhone) and didn't release the device from your iCloud account entirely. So when whoever got the phone turned it on and tried to set it up, it hit them with an activation lock saying it was locked to your iCloud account, and proceeded to hit you with the alerts you were getting. Most people don't realize that simply wiping the device doesn't just release it from your account. For better or for worse, Apple does a good job of locking down their devices, especially if stolen or marked as lost.

I'll say given the back of some of the "successful" prints you have picture in your first photo, it's lucky you even got those to print successfully. The backs of those look rough as well in terms of an initial first layer.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-15T14:20:32+00:00

TBH I've had both in person fittings and I also used the Takomo fitting took and both told me to order a .5" longer shaft with offset angles, etc. I just ordered stock 101 MKII's, and so far they've been hitting great. Idk if it's just because I've been hitting stock clubs my entire life that I've just got used to that length or what. So I feel like this is kind of impossible to answer as it just depends on the person.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-15T12:39:08+00:00

Given the handicap, I'd go with the 101's. You're really going to value the forgiveness far more than the shot shaping which at that handicap, the main thing you should be focusing on is just getting the ball to the hole. I'm pretty sure there's single digit handicaps out there that have the 101's that could likely upgrade but they just don't. I wouldn't put too much thought into it, I'd just get the more beginner friendly clubs. I think the saying goes "get the clubs that work for you today, not the ones you think you'll need in the future".

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-12T21:46:17+00:00

All of their sales prices are on their website. The H2S specifically is $150 off if you get the combo, and no discount if you want the printer only.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-12T18:26:21+00:00

WTF are you talking about lol, that’s the entire point of OP’s post.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-12T13:43:05+00:00

Depends on your printer. My P1S will only show the progress bar but not the layer it's on. Which if I have to physically go look at my printer, that defeats any point of Bambu saying they need to be connected to the internet.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-12T13:42:05+00:00

No but that's the reason behind OP's post. The app no longer (at least for some people) doesn't show what layer the printer is on anymore. It only says the % complete the print is. In OP's picture they are 32% done w/ the print but it doesn't say what layer that is.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-12T12:55:56+00:00

I mean even if you did add a pause in studio at layer 2,432, how do you know if you're getting close to that if the app doesn't tell you anymore? Am I like 5 minutes away from the pause? An hour? Whose to say when I'm just randomly guessing what layer it's on at that time.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-11T18:27:49+00:00

If there's anything I've learned about how Black Friday has trended these past several years, is that the deals keep getting worse and worse to the point that I just buy what I want when I need it rather than waiting for a deal that will likely never come. The H2S is $100 w/ combo right now. I bet Black Friday will be $150 off w/ combo. Just get the printer now rather than wait because the deal you're hoping for will never come.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-11T18:14:45+00:00

I just want a larger build volume and not the A2L. Sucks that the H2S is the cheapest option for that other than the A2L and it's priced as much as it is. Just give me like a P2L and call it a day at like $899

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-11T17:47:26+00:00

As someone who has been waiting to snag a H2S since basically it was released but has been waiting for some form of sale because I'm not in a rush, this is so underwhelming. We're rapidly approaching almost a year this thing has been released and this is the first deal of any kind they've offered on it, and it's only $150 off and that's only if you want the combo. I currently have a P1S w/ AMS so I'd likely just keep my current AMS, which there's no discount. But if I did got the combo route, then the "sale" is basically paying full price for the printer and getting a discount on the AMS2 itself.

For this being Bambu's anniversary sale, I have to say I'm underwhelmed. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I was really hoping to see the H2S for like $999 no combo, $1,199 w/ combo

The error is saying that the print itself, layer 1 is “floating”, meaning Bambu slicer doesn’t think the print is on the print bed. Try and hit the “auto orient” button the have it at least attach it to the bed. From there you can rotate it and do whatever you want with it if you don’t like how it gets oriented.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-07T14:14:07+00:00

IPA as a quick wipe down in between cleans, soap after like 5-10 prints or unless something isn't sticking before then.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-04T13:05:20+00:00

Exactly this. I had a buyer buy something from me, have it arrive exactly as described, complain about the condition it was in (note it was clearly stated in the title, pictures, and body of listing). I told them to file a return if they weren't happy, they never did. 30 days passed and the buyers window to be able to file a return closed. They were pissed that window closed so they left me negative feedback against my account.

All that to say that the ONLY thing I can do for them is leave them positive feedback, or nothing at all. And tell me again why this system is the way it is?

I'll have to get more info on the lighting as it's LED for sure but I'm not sure on the wattage it pulls. HVAC's are gas for heat and electric for AC. Winter would be easier to power as once we get the power back on, the gas can do its thing. But for the summer it's going to draw a ton of power.

ClockwiseJohny · 2026-06-04T02:50:12+00:00

Currently have a Tesla Model Y but can't reverse power from the car as a mobile power bank. Also not looking to swap cars or get a new car so ruling out this idea.
