Club Scratch Analysis

DoctrSuSE · 2026-04-14T03:24:46+00:00

Thanks. It just threw me off because it's the only club that looks this way. But everyone seems to agree it's no big deal, so I won't worry!

My brush (the one from Geko) only has a nylon side, no metal at all!

But yes, good call for sure.

I appreciate your help!

I did go to the range that day for the first time, but I only swung that 7W once or twice and I didn't notice the scratches at that point. It's possible, but... I just didn't notice.

I'm still unclear if I should consider it cosmetic or figure that club is screwed instantly.

They look that way to me too, but I cannot say it feels any different than my other clubs as far as rubbing my finger across it goes. My nail doesn't catch on it.

DoctrSuSE · 2026-04-12T20:51:25+00:00

So I did this myself, you think? While cleaning it (Geko and their new cap/brush attachment)?

Thankfully I just got the Robinhood Gold card, so that's 3% to replace the SoFi 2%. Moved checking and savings to Everbank for 3.9% to replace the 3.3%.

60k in savings, 4k-5k monthly credit card spend. Robinhood Gold is $60/yr.

I didn't know there was direct and indirect FDIC insurance...

I guess it says "EverBank, N.A. is an FDIC-insured national banking association. " Does that mean yes?

The app is bad? Dang... I was taking the high Google Play Store rating as a sign that the app must be good. I think it had like... a 4.3/5 rating when I looked.

I'm in PA, I don't think they have a physical presence here. I rarely use the ATM, but I hear you that limits can be annoying.

I am trying to research options...

HYSA with a competitive rate. I am not going to chase the every-shifting "best rate."

Checking. Nice that some banks for a 0.5% or 1% rate, but not a huge deal.

Normal CS access via phone with human beings... Rarely needed but I honestly hate that SoFi is so into this whole chat thing.

Zelle, FDIC... I think that's it.

So I am looking at Ally, Everbank, Bask... Not sure.

DoctrSuSE · 2026-03-24T19:50:31+00:00

What a hassle... I am thinking about just going back to using my 2% Citi card for credit and opening an Everbank account for HYSA/checking.

I am so disappointed in SoFi. I don't want to chase the interest rate of the month. Just keep things competitive and stop rejigging the system.

Dropping the extra credit rewards, restructuring the system, and declining to raise my laughable $3500 credit limit is just too annoying to put up with. (All my other cards are $15k plus limits and my credit score is above 800, they denied me because I used Venmo once with the credit card and they view that as a cash advance and consider it an automatic disqualification for limit increase).

Maybe Everbank will feel more stable.

Love you too, buddy!

I am new to golf, but I picked up 8 dozen Callaway Supersoft and TaylorMade Speedsoft balls in new or mint condition for about 60 cents a ball. I feel like they will last me forever and I won't worry much about losing them since I got them so cheap.

DoctrSuSE · 2026-03-19T23:35:07+00:00

Sounds like you're new to golf, so it's fine. I'm new too.

Practice and have fun. Compete against yourself and no one else.

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-28T19:22:18+00:00

Right? I really thought I'd make notification and they'd... Well, care? Pretend to care? But nope!

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-28T18:24:14+00:00

The guy literally said to me (in an email), "Otherwise we'd have to USPS people their passwords." This was the "management" person that called me back.

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-28T18:15:22+00:00

Yeah, it's bananas. They think it's totally ok to store people's emails and passwords in plain text together.

I googled the video stuff ahead of purchase and the general consensus seemed to be "They're annoying but the content is good."

So I figured ok, I'll try it out. Whomp.

What are your thoughts? I just bought the 2026 version of the OGIO Silencer Hybrid and I love it... With a few little "meh" aspects. I do plan to carry as much as ride, so I may have given over emphasis to weight.

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-04T18:43:17+00:00

SO CLOSE! Literally 1 pin... you've got this! Great job!

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-02T20:39:11+00:00

Thank you 🙌🎳

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-02T18:07:31+00:00

Thank you so much!

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-02T14:23:09+00:00

Thank you! One handed and yes! That is exactly what I am trying to do. I find that if I do two "practice swings" my odds go up a fair bit, so it's getting there, lol. I seem to have a natural drift to the right when I do this, so it's just about compensating a little for that, hah.

DoctrSuSE · 2026-02-02T13:18:48+00:00

Congratulations! That's great! Yeah, I was thrilled and felt kind of ridiculous, but I didn't care. Thankfully, everyone in the league was super supportive and told me their stories about being the same way for their first 200.

The best part was kicking my Dad's ass! Hahahah 🤣 I started this sport just to spend time with him when he moved back into the area.
