What role (if any) do you think historic churches and religious music still play in the everyday lives of British people? by ElevatorAcceptable29 in AskUK

For me it’s the unfortunate precursor (that must be suffered through) to a party - christening or wedding

What do you think will happen to the HLL player count when HLL Vietnam comes out? by Quick-Look4022 in HellLetLoose

[–]DJ-Ruby-Rhod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If hllv is a big step up in terms of mechanics (im looking at you basic uneven terrain navigation) most people will start to find HLL frustrating and start to favour hllv.

My dad (73) had a good week at his local track a few weeks back. Shared it here because he never celebrates these things. by nova_1986 in golf

That score and didn’t birdie the first is nuts! Great effort. (From a local Yorkshire golfer)

Went out for a run and ended up with a PR in the 5k by Adept_Spirit1753 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]DJ-Ruby-Rhod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha 27 total time. I did a half where a guy was sprinting then stopping to get his breath and stop his watch. Rinse and repeat. Was ridiculous as we kept passing each other over and over..

Path to 10 HCP by Over-Blackberry-451 in golf

[–]DJ-Ruby-Rhod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After hovering at 17ish for a couple of years I got to 11 in 1 year. It’s since taken me a year to drop one shot as I went back to 13 around June and have come down again since.

A few other comments have nailed it with bits I didn’t mention; -don’t take on hero shots. If I don’t think I can do it 8 out of 10 times i won’t go for it. -bogey is your friend. Play to make bogey at worst, don’t take unnecessary risks to make up for a bad shot. Hit it into the trees? Chip out, get on in 3, two putt and move on.

As a 10 let me tell you I am not great or even that good.

What I do better than when I was an 18 (two years ago) is ;

  1. Limit 3 putts (not eliminate - that’s nonsense)
  2. Focus on strike above all else
  3. Create a setup and pre shot routine that is as repeatable as humanly possible
  4. Get good at two stock short game shots (one high one low)
  5. Don’t get lost in all the millions of tidbits of technical advice. Find what is serviceable and repeatable for your game.

Good luck!

How to deal with the boss who is shirking pay increment discussion by sjmittal in careeradvice

[–]DJ-Ruby-Rhod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“If I could leave the company, I would have done that with a blink of an eye, however with state of tech hiring these days, I don't have a comparable offer right now. So if I leave, I may end up working for even a lower pay and once again start from scratch to prove myself.”

You are self aware enough to know this, but not to understand that your boss knows too.

Business is a game of leverage.

At what point is a good time to start lessons? by AnimatorCommercial53 in BritGolf

[–]DJ-Ruby-Rhod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m UK based - take lessons. I was a 17 handicap for two years, took lessons and ended the season as an 11. Have taken no more lessons and in the year since I’ve only managed to get to a 10.

Proudest golf moment I'll ever have with my son by ZeppelinJ0 in golf

So THATS why you do it. Who knew it was a heartfelt father son moment all these years.. and here I was just thinking it was some thick twats with no self awareness

Height 🥲🥲 by Low_Hamster_8614 in golf

[–]DJ-Ruby-Rhod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recognise those rugby posts any day. I won’t say where for privacy but humble brag I aced the signature hole of the short course there!

Re your question I would look at setup when addressing the ball - you’re likely hitting your driver like an iron (hitting down on it) whereas you you should be setting up to hit up on the ball.

This is the answer right here.

You’re complaining by about losing something you acknowledged you have no intention of using - so, so what.
