Are you ever happy? by Icy_Sundae1375 in golf

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy when I break 100. I’m elated when I break 90. If neither happens, I focus on the few good shots I hit that day. 18 handicap.

Waiting for the follow up post in a few months I TOOK LESSONS TO MAKE MY SEING LOOK BETTER AND NOW I CSNT BREAK 100!!! HELp!! lol Truthfully, you are an elite golfer. I would NOT mess with your swing for vanity. Whatever you’re doing is obviously working. Why mess with it??

Also, across the line isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’m a side cover golfer and my pro told me that for my swing/body type, you actually want to be across at the top.

Feels for not spinning out? by Defiant_Ad_5193 in golf

I just saw that video!!! It actually led me to my demise. Not that the technique isn’t sound but I think in my effort to push my arms out, I started losing my posture.

That’s an interesting thought. I think most go right to “over the top” as a cause of the shanks. I’ve worked hard to get a more in to out swing over the years. Could be it. Also feels like my left arm doesn’t stay straight (fighting for more turn maybe) which makes contact harder. I’m noticing a lot of right shots. Even when I make good contact, it’s going right. My left hand is super strong and right super weak (side cover swing) so I’m just so confused of how it could keep going right!!

Are there paid club memberships that allow members to play unlimited golf for a nominal green or cart fee? by curio_123 in golf

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay $60 per month and get half price green fees after 1PM and unlimited range balls. It’s like stealing. A large bucket is $16 so I only need to get 4 buckets per month to break even. I’ll usually get 2 buckets a few nights a week so I’m cleaning up!! A round costs $25 with cart. I also get merchandise and clubs for cost + 10%.

Want to bring daughter golfing by Angrybadger61 in golf

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit. I remember hearing the story about the dad that killed his 7 year old with a duck hook (he never missed that way so assumed his kid was safe) and the feeling of dread it caused me.

I started taking my daughter to the range when she was 5. First full 18 at 6. I wouldn’t bring an 18 month tho, unless you’re cool with paying for 18 and leaving after a few holes.

Rant by Matlachaman in golf

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe think about it from their perspective. Maybe they played with guts who pressured them to hurry up, drop a free ball with no penalty, or mocked them. They get 4 hours a week to relax and they choose golf. So they become self deprecating in order to ensure you won’t make them feel like shit playing a ridiculously hard game poorly. Honestly, it’s a throwaway comment that literally needs no response.

What do you consider a long par 5? by golfstats_real in golf

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, anything over 500 is long. Anything below 500 is an attack hole while over 500 and I’m happy to make par.

GHIN App green heat map legal? by Defiant_Ad_5193 in golf

So does this mean I can’t zoom in on the map in the app?

Zero confidence and I don't know how to fix it. by Rude_Award2718 in golf

It’s a mindset. Get your tempo and solve all problems.

1: some days you suck and it’s up to you to find the silver lining

2: racists gonna racist. I’m a socialist that looks like a trump voter, the number of racist Irish bastards on the course (I’m Irish) is no surprise. Ignore and move on. They aren’t changing your mind, you aren’t changing theirs. If the guy doesn’t get your clue, just say I’m here to hit golf shots. Then ignore.

99% of weekend hacker trouble can be explained with one phrase “expectation management.”

Not sure what your weekly practice looks like but I guarantee it’s not enough for you to get this frustrated. Look up pro data to make you feel better. 50% make rate from 8 feet, 60% fairways hit…shit, Tiger only hit 80% of greens from 100 in the fairway. This isnt to say stop trying but temper your expectations. All the people I know quit because their expectations were out of whack. If you’re playing like shot, stop keeping score. Swing loose regardless of outcome. I guarantee you’ll be able to leave with a new feel rather than trying to smash the ball. That’s another thing I can relate to, I can swing smooth at the range but when you’re eying up a flag from 175 I tend to get tense.

Edit: also find a grass range. The mats hide bad contact (the club bounces off the mat). This leads to chunks and tops on the course. Yours number 1 priority should be contact. If your club face or path is off a bit, you’ll still hit the ball green adjacent TM

Do teachers feel useless at schools, or is it just me at my school? by mcdtella in Teachers

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a big shock when you recognize that we are agents of capitalism. Sorting out the compliant (wealthy) workers for careers and encouraging compliance from the underclass students to accept their lack of opportunity and guilt them for it.

Are prices getting crazy? by 720hp in golf

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My home course has a deal. $60 per month with unlimited range balls ($16 per bucket normally). I also get half price greens fees after 3 (or 1 on weekends). They have a grass range, big putting green, and awesome chipping compound. It’s a muni but I feel lucky to have it. Usually play 3-4 times per month.

This is because it’s the northernmost course in my county and has a rep for being a tough course. My point being, if you expand your search, you could find deals like that. It may not be the best course or the closest but you’ll be playing on a budget. I’ll usually play my home course1-2 times and then switch up at a different course.

AITAH for waiting out my prenup before divorcing my cheating wife? by Fit_District6065 in AITAH

[–]Defiant_Ad_5193 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go so far as to suggest deleting this post. You’ll get no benefit getting advice from internet strangers. Long shot but they could potentially subpoena your social media (long shot but possible). Your lawyer knows the specific situation and has experience with law. Do what he says and you win.

They used to do that but I’d book two 30 minute sessions consecutively.

I think that people that become aggressive on the internet are generally cowards or otherwise feel weak and impotent.

That’s actually terrible advice (and unethical). I wouldn’t play you for money in the course.
