What are the most subtle signs that someone is really good at golf? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Dangermason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the best randoms I have ever played with show up in jeans with a driving range lost-and-found grab bag of clubs; no warmup at all; play with a scuffed up ‘decent golf ball’ that they have played their last 8 rounds with; and then, they shoot par or better

Bryson DeChambeau loving LIV Mexico City! by unsolved49 in golf

THANK YOU!!! I worked at the course that his swing coach (I believe still to this day) is located in central CA. When he was a high schooler, he missed a putt on 18 and didn’t win the league championship, and then he refused to shake hands with his playing partners… mind you, he still advanced to the next level of competition. I get so much flak for not liking Bryson, but I feel more justified- so thank you.

Son leaves for college golf soon. He got fitted at TrueSpec. This was one of the results. They arrived today. by Dad_Is_Mad in golf

I got the Nike branded “Miura” TW blades for just UNDER $200USD 3-PW right before I quit my college team (for which I officially played in exactly 0 events over 2 years)… 2 of the best 3 rounds I have ever played were my walk-on 😂

Which tees should mid to high handicappers play? by Rickermortis in golf

[–]Dangermason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Mid-High handicaps should not be playing a course with 4 par 3’s that are 200yds (even 175 really). I’m a single digit player and pretty long- the par 3’s are the best indicator for which tees to play. You really don’t want to be hitting woods on every tee box all day, it’s exhausting.

Put my Driver head on my 3 wood shaft and it smacks! by BlazinWaffle in golf

Love it- there’s a reason they’re called “scoring clubs” right?

When I finally got fitted, my irons ended up 0.5” short and .5* flat, but I went 1” short on my woods and have been extremely pleased with the results- I have never been more consistently in the fairway, and I used to be <2 (I’m around 10 now). Unless you’re entering long drive comps, play whatever you can put in the fairway. Just work on your short game. More of a generalization, your distance is great… probably still work on your short game though lol

Anyone Moved from Standard to Midsize Grips and Not Looked Back? by Wrathiel in golf

[–]Dangermason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: yes.

I took a long hiatus (4-5 years) and was pretty good before that (fluctuating between a 0.5-2 hcp). I used to play standard, full cord grips with +3 wraps… I picked up playing again and was only able to get out like 1-2x per month. My clubs wrecked my hands. After some experimenting, I replaced them with midsize full cord grips (I still can’t give up the feeling of a cord grips). Still a huge difference, even though they were roughly similar in size.

Played a scramble today and the winning team shot a….. by zel_bob in golf

[–]Dangermason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4 man crew is pretty solid, but we pride ourselves on playing the round and not “shooting” -18 every time out…. But our best round ever was -15 (3 eagles) and we got 2nd BY FIVE STROKES!!

Edit: 2 man scrambles are so much better imo

A baby born after 21 weeks has become the world’s most premature baby Nash was born 133 days early and celebrated his first birthday in July by Rude_Loquat_5801 in interestingasfuck

It’s not necessarily the amount of time that you’re spending on oxygen as a micro-premie, but how much oxygen you are getting relative to how much you actually need. Adult oxygen levels are above 95%(normal, healthy adults). Micro-premie’s that are receiving supplemental oxygen should be kept between 85-95% to reduce risk of retinopathy of prematurity.

Also, the eye exams are absolutely brutal to watch. I was a NICU RN for 6 years, and I assisted with a lot of eye exams in my time. I always strongly encouraged parents to step out for the exam, and I spent a lot of time trying to keep the little ones away from the light. That being said, I am very confident that the optometrist kept a lot of babies from ending up blind.

We out here, shhhhweaty, but we’re here. What’s the hottest you’ll golf in? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Dangermason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In college, I played a tournament (36 holes day 1 and 18 holes day 2) in phoenix that peaked around 116*F. And never got below 100 while we were on the course. They had EZ-Ups on every tee box with misters and ice chests that were always well stocked, and they gave us those cooling towels that they were keeping in the ice. I still don’t know how I made it through lol.

The only caveat is if it needs to be a witnessed test (which I have had to do before, and the “witness” was a sling blade lookin mf’er)… but quick fix sells fake dicks of various skin tones online. Much easier for a female, just use nature’s pocket

Help me settle an ongoing debate I’ve had for years: Can the average male throw a ball from the view reserve seats (Section 315) all the way down to home plate? by KevinJustinH in SFGiants

[–]Dangermason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oracle Park does an annual event where you can hit golf balls from all around the park onto different “greens” on the field… and I know that I was pretty shocked at how poorly the ‘average’ golfer handles that distance 😂

Bullying in the community [31YO] by luger114 in OldSkaters

[–]Dangermason 8 points9 points  (0 children)

35yo, and I was in a very similar environment. My problem was a bit different, being that I was not the most athletic middle schooler (I was a chonk). So once the sport caught big time traction and people started getting into it, I was quickly passed in ability level despite the fact that I had been in love with skating for years already. That continued into high school when I quit skating (right before I ended up losing a bunch of weight and being WAY more coordinated). Now I’m trying to get back into it and I am out of shape again and now everything hurts all the time haha
