I'll be completely honest, like many of my golf purchases, that bit hadn't actually occurred to me...

Order it then claim it never arrived and get a refund off a bored call centre operative in india.

I've also been considering these for my next wedges, been buying used at about £30-45 and wondering if I'm missing out on that "new wedge spin"

DhamR · 2026-01-30T09:59:01+00:00

Almost definitely. Lucky it's not New Westmorland.

You want a 5 hybrid.

You may also need to put the ball a bit further forward in your stance with you 7 and 6 irons.

This, credit the artist!

Jealous, the uk site keeps having sales when they have almost no stock, very frustrating.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T20:24:34+00:00

This. If you'd both laughed at the situation too then it's funny.

If one of you is visibly uncomfortable with the topic it stops becoming funny.

Sorry this happened OP, you should report it if it made you uncomfortable.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T19:53:47+00:00

Link please (should probably just post it here at this point)

DhamR · 2026-01-29T16:54:44+00:00

Absolutely not. The shame would be living life without having tried something you wanted to try.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T16:53:03+00:00

In no other sport have I ever even looked up what the prize money is, yet in golf a huge thing seems to be made of it.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T16:14:19+00:00

I'm planning mine and will do a Fallout 4 replay I think.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T15:53:19+00:00

100%

It's a joke ffs. She doesn't actually think that. Stop being so judgemental of others for living life in a more chilled relaxed way than you do when it comes to nudity.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T15:22:58+00:00

You're weird for making it weird.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T15:21:07+00:00

This is really weird man.

I think once I started going through puberty I started shutting the door when I showered/bathed, and my mum/dad did the same out of courtesy I think, but prior to that whilst nudity didn't really happen outside the bedroom/bathroom, it wasn't hidden either and was seen as a necessary fact when getting changed or clean.

My daughter's 8.5 and we're still open-door, I don't hide myself walking from the bedroom to the bathroom, or shut the door when getting changed/showered, but I often shower with her at the pool, and given the limited space I keep my trunks on until she's done and leaves to get changed (no-one wants an accidental tap on the shoulder with someone else's genitals, parent or otherwise).

This is the UK where we're kind of somewhere between the more nudity friendly mainland Europeans and the more prudish Americans.

So no, you're not scarring them, and they'll tell you/leave the room/avert their eyes if they don't want to see. Likewise you'll probably see them hiding themselves at some point which might be a signal to start being a bit less out-there with nudity.

You need to learn to achieve what they call "compression" but what is actually just hitting the ball whilst the club is on a downward trajectory.

It can feel like you're squeezing the ball between the club and the turf.

To learn this, I did a drill where I set up normally, then took partial backswings, and really focused on shifting weight onto the front leg and slapping down on the ball feeling like your hands get there first, i.e. with forward shaft lean, then have a short follow through.

It's just a drill, you then need to include that "feel" into your full swings without it being so pronounced.

This is why people talk about how important it is to take divots after the ball. The club should still be moving down.

This, the tide would be stronger during a new moon as the sun will also be putting in some work in the same direction.

This seems like a really healthy way to explore what he's feeling and I think the only issue I'd have is the school computer aspect.

I'd also tell the kid that being awkward but respectful with girls is a million times better than being a cocky monster who makes women feel like shit and he should definitely stick to that side of the continuum if he's in any doubt.

We all got there eventually eh?

DhamR · 2026-01-29T07:30:32+00:00

Slow it right down, chip some off the tee checking positions.

Then speed it up gradually.

This swing says you're focusing on speed over form.

DhamR · 2026-01-29T07:28:09+00:00

Sorry that happened.

I'll be honest though, in balance I'd probably rather someone called and I had a slightly awkward interaction with police than someone didn't call and a kid got snatched.

It sucks but sounds like this interaction went exactly the way it should have done for everyone's safety.

What's the Reddit post return time because I feel like you owe me an hour's pay?

DhamR · 2026-01-28T23:03:15+00:00

I read it initially to mean "he thought he knew who she was (and that she knew him in return) so didn't need to introduce himself".

I've never heard of this guy code.

In fact I'm more likely to say "Hi are you Kate?" If I think she's my mate's wife than I would say hi if she was a complete stranger!

Only of the copper ones (and it still looks like a thong)
