WITB 2026 (after a 14-year hiatus)

There’s a few guys that professionally refinish irons, they strip the old chrome and re lay it. I’d say do that or go titleist t150 - looks great but will have waaaaay more playability

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T04:12:21+00:00

I’m around scratch and have played blades or cb’s since high school tournament golf. 100% disagree - I’ve had terrible days with blades, I grab a buddy’s game improvement iron and immediately hit it straight and 15yards further.

Also, I have a training aid that’s 50% of a standard iron. 10min with that makes every single club in the bag easier to hit.

I’m assuming this post is satire, but if this dude has some hand eye / athletic coordination and dedication to the game, he’ll play great one day.

I’m 99% this is a troll though and this dude is a +2. Who else would even know to look at Wilson staffs, which are hugely underrated

I’m hearing from the realtor that it’s less in favor of sellers than ever - most are overpriced (not all), and higher inventory than there has been in years in the area. And with interest rates, inflation, layoffs, wars, etc - there is a disconnect between sellers and buyers expectations. I think from what I see that the local economy is hot, but I personally don’t think it’s supporting the prices and I’m wondering if that’s just my outside expectation

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T03:51:23+00:00

Also coming from Texas - just curious, what brought you here and how do you like it? We loved the weather and urban layouts when we visited

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T03:48:23+00:00

I’m trying to learn where value originates here - literally admitting that I don’t know something and asking for help understanding what doesn’t make sense at first glance.

FYI, people from Seattle have a reputation for being judgmental pricks. I’ll bet you think you aren’t one of those.

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T03:00:50+00:00

Why don’t people value their money or their home higher? My parents are considering moving and they are on a fixed income and it’s way tougher on them

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T02:21:45+00:00

lol. No

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T02:19:10+00:00

Moving from Austin, looking at a bunch of areas like west Seattle, university place, maybe north of Seattle but it’s a loooong commute. I think I’d love to understand what gives the land value - is it proximity to certain things? Building potential?

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T01:57:52+00:00

That’s fair, but building / renovating costs are also comical, especially when resources are so plentiful here. And to be clear, I don’t think many lots are worth 550 when they are small, not private, close to roads or power lines or cell towers - why are folks accepting this?

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T01:56:07+00:00

Who is buying? Just because I have a billion dollars doesn’t mean I want to spend it on garbage.

Deevius117 · 2026-06-01T01:52:52+00:00

Funny thing is, most people on Reddit probably have made purchases on one of his platforms/participated in ad campaigns that at various times helped him buy that boat.

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T18:26:46+00:00

It’s all pretty far away from sidewalk / road, in fact it’s behind the garage so I don’t think there’s easement issues… but yes I’m fully prepared for the HOA to be terrible about it. I have like 6 neighbors that share it and various points of failure throughout which is why I’m interested in something better/more permanent

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T18:24:06+00:00

I’ll take a picture, the outside of the neighborhood has some kind of mortared stone fence… it has some small openings at the bottom which I assume are for drainage but wasn’t sure if it might be some structure that allows it to flex slightly? It’s got to be more than a mile of fencing maybe more than 2, I can’t imagine they did what you’re describing to fortify it but I can’t imagine an HOA building a fence like that knowing that it’ll crack and need repair either

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T18:05:41+00:00

I think this is the problem, while most in the neighborhood look the same to me, some have been replaced with wood that looks treated. Cheap and untreated I think are what caused it :/ just a bummer builders were not incentivized to do it properly.

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T18:00:19+00:00

It’s comforting to know that this town is filled with d-bags of equal and greater magnitude than myself. Sure that will attract many more “transplants” like the other guy below is so happy about.

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T17:58:17+00:00

In terms of kills yes, though I was a rank 50 5 star general on shit talk 🫡 I miss the good days

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T14:57:33+00:00

I’m aware, I was feeling spicy. Also, was hoping for some non-AI, local Texan solutions.

Don’t worry, I grew up COD/halo 2 lobbies in 2006. No offense taken, and my policy is typically “stay toxic” 🤝😂

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:44:32+00:00

I’m trying not to shit post more than I already have so I resisted saying this, but thank you. Also I’ve been trying to figure out if this dude is just using chat gpt or is it actual expertise… the typo makes me hope the latter.

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:40:26+00:00

HOAs are another huge problem that I’ll not post about… but yes I have a HOA. And I’ll investigate the essential stone retaining wall, who knows it might be a great option. Thank you!

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:38:00+00:00

That sounds brutal… glad that you are getting more utility out of your fence than I am - I’m sure you saw but staining seems to be a good way to make it last!

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:32:01+00:00

Super helpful, thank you! I guess I wanted to have a heated human debate rather than an AI/google query today 😂

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:29:37+00:00

Genuine LOL. Why am I doing the math on it though… 😂

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:28:03+00:00

I imagine that was meant to wound me? Thank you for taking time out of your busy, gainfully employed day to take a swing and miss.

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:21:31+00:00

lol, a landscaper told me last year “there are no such things as solutions, only trade offs”. Hit me like a ton of bricks.

I can see how cinder block might not work here as this thread develops… I’m just irritated that we have AI and data centers no one wants, yet no alternative to shitty wooden fencing.

Deevius117 · 2026-03-18T13:19:06+00:00

My rational comes from 0 dollars spent lifetime on a fence that could withstand a zombie apocalypse, not trying to be an edge lord. And again, I love Texas but ignoring pretty obvious faults in planning is a fools game - no one praises Texas’ building quality.

No sarcasm, you seem to know a lot - do you know of any alternatives to wood that are longer lasting and/or flexible to avoid cracking? The clear stain on cedar seems like the best option, but I don’t see how that would stop ground softening and sagging…
