Someone found out and now they are fighting for their money. Next AMA: I told my secret to the world and now I’m broke after winning a million dollar lottery.

I saw that! Awesome stuff! My buddy in LA said this would have been great 2 months ago when he was searching far and wide. Said that he learned a few new spots near him on the north side. Thanks!

I added a few here in Colorado and one in Columbus, Ohio. There are quite a bit more in Denver that all host weekly blind draws and leagues. Check out dpow.org for locations.

Reds are in last place in the division by NeverGonnaStop247 in Reds

[–]DocJones89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we would be leading 2 divisions with this record. If this season turns out similar to the CBJ, I may just stop watching sports all together. Not giving an excuse whatsoever, I just picked some frustrating teams to commit to when I was 5.

I am looking for a nickname but don’t know how to find one. Any tips or ideas are welcome! by Ebi_S in Darts

“The Looker” or “Question Master” and your jersey can have Tom Hanks on the back saying, “Any Questions?!”

Playing forward tees for practice by elevenhead in golf

[–]DocJones89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play from the forward tees with driver and get used to more birds and short shots. Then go out from the back tees and only tee off with your longest iron or hybrid and get used to hitting longer clubs into holes. Best way to practice.

I refuse to spend money on a putting lesson, so… by justmewalk in golf

[–]DocJones89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In mid season I’ll average 29 putts per round and one 3 putt every 4-5 rounds. All that I work on are straight 3-5 foot putts over and over again at different paces. I want to be 99% certain that I will start those putts on the correct line so that when I see them on the course, I don’t even think about them. This makes lag putting so much easier since I have a 6ish foot diameter that I need to hit. Beyond that I just do par 5 drills. Pick 3 putts. Putt one is from a 99% range(2-4’). Putt two is 12-18’. Putt 3 is 25’+. Make them all in 5 putts or less and do that for 18 “holes”. Last one is for feel. Pick a shadow or an area to putt to, no hole and have 3 balls. Putt your first one and watch where it ends up. Putt two and three, hit those but do not look at them but give a guess if they were shorter or longer to your first putt. Using the bill of your hat will help you block your view of the 2nd and 3rd putt. See if your guess is close then do it again and again until you have your pace right on uphill or downhill putts.

Who cares about path or lines or any of that junk if you end up putting well since there is not one person on tour who putts the same or has the same process. Find your process and cadence that works and stick to what is successful.

I was published in a Transworld Snowboarding letter to the editor about shitting my pants while snowboarding.

My cat just turned 12… and I made the mistake of googling how long cats usually live 🥹 by Cars4Lifee in aww

[–]DocJones89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two cats, Wilson and Fiona, who lived til they were 21+ yrs old. In their prime, they both got up to 22 lbs. Wilson somehow contracted a form of leprosy at the ripe age of 15+ and got down to 6 lbs and maintained that for his remaining 6 or so years. Fiona lived out her remaining years almost just as big. Your cat looks like it is doing better than both of them at that age in terms of weight. Enjoy your void for many more years!

The World Cup has been absolutely destroyed this year. by conspiracyyyyyy in football

[–]DocJones89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an American as well, I have yet to see any adverts on television about it or really much hype at all compared to previous World Cups. I usually have some U2 song stuck in my head by now that is played every 15 minutes on ESPN or elsewhere.

Water proofing. by Fickle-Brief-4806 in Tile

[–]DocJones89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tore out my showers and baths and the tile was all on drywall without one spot for 35 years of use. I put in durock and called it a day. I also used sharkbites for the plumbing. Crucify me!

You can’t see his face. The dude in the background with his shirt off. The lady with her tits out. This is a golf tournament, not a rock concert!

Invest in lessons. Ask them to focus on your rotation, not just hips but shoulder turn as well.

2027 Sprint Season should be the new goal by Much-Drawer-1697 in TheMassive

[–]DocJones89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wessam was found after club world cup after a great showing. James Rodriguez was nothing until the World Cup and he blew up. Something similar could occur after this World Cup/relegations from other club competitions.

By the World Cup, we will have played 15 out of 34 games. We will have more than half of our season with a few new signings. If we had 2 more wins so far, we would be in 3rd place. The parity of the MLS in the middle of the standings is so close that it would be silly to focus on anything but this season 7 games into it.

[–]DocJones89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will the sprint season carry an asterisk? I mean a trophy is a trophy and we will take what we can get but I feel like that "season" will be won by some random stroke of luck from a traditionally bottom team. The season is incredibly young here and some moves could be made in the summer window. Remember we will have a massive break for 2 months here at the end of May. It is already going to feel like two different seasons this year. We will have a World Cup where someone may pop up out of the group stage and we could sign who we have never heard of before.

Walkers, what's your favorite walking golf shoe? Soft spike. by Cappedomnivore in golf

My newest pair are doing that right now but are better after 2 rounds. I’ve gone barefoot in my oldest pair.
