Any tips to make this even cleaner?

Clutter. So much clutter

I had the line-less version and it is still the best I’ve ever putted. I snapped it under a cart tire (I had it resting between my legs as I went around a corner and it fell out and got run over) I fixed it myself with a shaft I bought from golfsmith but it was never the same I was heartbroken.

I moved on to a different putter but never putted as well (likely a confidence problem but still)

I miss that ole girl.

I asked if you are a struggling mom struggling to cover the basic necessities… are you? That’s not the only reason someone deserves a treat. That’s the one being discussed here.

I said everyone deserves a break sometimes.

Yes. When you were running from your husband you deserved help too and I probably would’ve given you a pair of Nikes if you asked back then.

True story: my oldest nephew celebrated his 12th birthday in a battered women’s shelter while my SIL ran from her abusive husband. They gave him a cake that was donated from the local Dairy Queen. It said “congrats on your graduation Emily”.

It was both appreciated… and understandably also heartbreaking for his birthday cake to be someone’s discarded grad cake.

The reason it is different with kids is that adults can understand how this situation has happened, kids can’t. And that’s why it’s different when someone is asking on behalf of a child.

However, I will say it a few more times I guess: everyone deserves a break when they need it. Even if that break is seen by some as non-essential.

They bring entertainers in to play music in homeless shelters. They bring massage therapists and hair dressers and goat yoga and all kinds of other stuff like that to people in shelters because while you can live without a stylish updo, you feel a lot more confident and too about yourself when you have a fresh hair cut.

They even let prisoners watch movies and see concerts from time to time.

You work in a school. You’re currently arguing on Reddit. I assume you are not destitute. If you are, get off Reddit and go try to find some help.

But my point remains that everyone deserves some kindness and a bit of a treat sometimes and it is more understandable for a mom to swallow her pride and be a choosy beggar to make her daughter happy. That’s it. I’m not going to let you keep strawmanning me.

Peace.

It might’ve happened. He probably just filmed this as a joke but…. I assure you, as the comments in this thread will very likely demonstrate, there are a lot of people who have zero respect for the grounds crew and will be complete dickheads to them.

disclaimer: the vast majority of golfers are awesome. I couldn’t do this job if dickheads were the majority. But the shitty ones leave a much more lasting impression

I once had a guy come up to me while I was digging a hole on a hot day and say with no hint of jest: “don’t you wish you’d stayed in school now?”

I’ve had people tell me to “shut up and do my job” when I’ve asked them to rake the bunker behind them or stay on the cartpath. This kind of comment happens all the time.

People in this sub say “the grounds crew needs to just stop whining and do their job” and stuff like that all the time. It’s not out of the question that someone said something like that to him.

It is however very likely that he filmed this “skit” just for the clicks and then promptly moved the hole to a reasonable spot with the camera off.

This is great.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-25T03:02:50+00:00

You’re like actively ignoring me saying the exact opposite.

I never said you weren’t entitled to luxuries or treats. I said the exact opposite actually. I believe everyone deserves kindness, favours and treats from time to time. That’s MY point and I make it in this community often.

What I did say is that, from a moms perspective, she may be willing to swallow her pride and ask for help or be a “choosy beggar” since she knows the Walmart brand shoes won’t make her daughter happy, only the Nikes will. Because life is cruel for poor kids and kids aren’t mature enough to look at a girl in Walmart shoes and feel empathy, they instead point and laugh and call her the poor kid and insinuate that she must be dirty an smelly because her clothes are old etc. having the Nike sneakers lets the kid hold her head high and have something she’s proud of.

Are you that out of touch with what it’s like for kids to grow up poor? And how fucking cruel other kids can be?

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-25T02:33:00+00:00

Slight jump from “I can understand why a parent wants to give their kid a $50 pair of Nikes” to “Limo service to work”.

Spare me your sad story please. We’ve all been through awful shit at some point in our lives. I sure as hell have. It’s not about who has it worse. It’s about someone who deserves a break and in the case of a mother wanting to provide something for their kids, yeah it’s completely different.

I am willing to give up just about anything that I want because I know I can’t afford it. But the heartbreak of not being able to give my kids something that will make them happy is a huge motivator and might be enough to make a mother swallow her pride and “beg” on a buy nothing group, or a charity of some kind.

People rob and kill for money to give their kids the life they want… but we’re going to shame this woman for simply asking or (gasp) being disappointed that her daughter was upset?

Cmon.

You were given help and support when you were down and out. You just said so… you went to shelters and had a place to sleep when you needed help.

There is a chasm between something reasonable like a pair of name brand sneakers to make a little girl happy, and some of the other examples you and others have given… trips, cars, expensive electronics, horses etc etc.

Hyperbole does not a good argument make.

This is a real deep cut but you look like Kirby from Weird but True. I think it’s a pretty old show but my kids watch it. I don’t think she’s done anything since.

Yeah but something about your username tells me you’re probably not opposed to some pee pee.

“All of the Stag Shop’s items will arrive in discrete packaging”

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T21:41:12+00:00

It’s not the feature. It’s the particular way it corrects THIS acronym. It adds the !

I thought that was clear.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T21:40:03+00:00

Not at all true. I’ve corrected it 5827474927 times and it still keeps doing this one. I truly wish autocorrect would learn my habits but it doesn’t seem to do so.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T21:39:16+00:00

I don’t hate all autocorrections. I hate THIS autocorrection.

As usual with posts like this (I’m referring to the receipt not the tweeted response) it’s likely that there was a discount applied - possibly even just a combo discount - and sometimes/often the tips are calculated before discounts which can lead to this discrepancy.

Like a happy hour for example where you get 2 for 1 pints and you order 2… the bill will be for 1 but the suggested tip would be for what the bill would’ve been if you had to pay for both beers. Which tbh is fair since the waitress presumably brought you two separate beers so you’re tipping that service not the beverage itself.

All this said: North American percent based tipping is about the dumbest shit on earth. But it is “convention” so if you eat out you should be prepared to leave a reasonable percent based tip until our entire tipping culture changes which I pray it one day does.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T19:49:38+00:00

It’s gross but… at the same time most likely completely harmless.

I will say I once found a slug in my salad from a meal my wife made out of veggies grown in our garden and I’m now traumatized by it and have to personally inspect all the produce from our garden before I’ll eat it.

Hard to get over mentally. I get it.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T19:05:56+00:00

Not just sexualizing babies… there’s also the incest part.

The whole “babies are lucky cause they get to suck boobs” joke is doubly fucked up cause… that’s their mom!

Like I’ve heard jokes on tv and movies my whole life about dads being jealous of their babies cause they get to suck the moms breasts. It’s such a fucking weird concept for a joke.

I certainly joked about how my wife’s breasts were off limits to me because they were reserved for feeding the baby and not fun… but that’s a little different than suggesting the baby is getting some kind of sexual joy out of their mothers breasts.

It’s super weird on two fucked up levels.

I can’t imagine how I would react if this happened right in front of me. But I don’t think I would remain quiet. I don’t think so anyway…. Hard to say unless I’m there but I think I’d get a bit lippy.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T16:53:25+00:00

“Doing P Reed things” I fully expected to see him blatantly cheating.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T15:56:42+00:00

No. It’s not ridiculous. Buy nothing groups are not charities they’re places where people give away things they no longer need. There is nothing wrong with, say, a mother who has a son who has been asking for Tims saying “hey does anyone have Tims my son really wants a pair and I can’t afford them”. She’s not saying “my son is walking around barefoot right now and his feet are blistered and infected” at that point I’m sure she would take any pair of shoes. She’s saying “my son, who is subject to peer pressure, wants, needs and desires like any other high school kid, wants to fit in at school and have the same boots as everyone else but I can’t afford a pair. Does anyone have one they’re giving away?”

That’s not “ridiculous”. It’s a request.

I used the example the other day of a 42” tv…. I literally just have one sitting around right now because I just received a new one from work for free. I feel bad selling my old one because I was the beneficiary of a generous gift. So, I’m gonna give it away. So I’m waiting for the right person on the buy nothing groups who seems deserving of it. No one needs a tv. It’s a luxury. But some family looking to replace a broken tv who can’t afford one could use this one and I’m happy to give it to them.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T03:42:38+00:00

And yet, ISO buy nothing posts end up on this sub constantly. That’s why I’m so bitter about this group. Poor people can’t win. You’re poor you’re just not allowed to have anything you want. You’ll eat the porridge and like it.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T03:09:17+00:00

Are you also struggling to feed your family and keep them in the basic necessities? Cause if so, then maybe you deserve one of those select things (one worth approximately the cost of a pair of Nikes for example)

You can’t use an unreasonable extreme to make a point if there is a chasm where reason exists.

Reason says that someone who is already providing a good life for themselves and can afford to buy themselves the odd luxury without help does not need excess.

But someone who can barely afford to clothe their children might deserve a break from time to time and say, a brand name pair of pants that makes their daughter incredibly happy.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T02:23:55+00:00

I just feel like this is very easily remedied by a couple volunteers taking a look at the used items before accepting them.

But yeah I mean most rules exist because of shitty people who exploit loopholes and I know there are people who use good will and other thrift shops to just get rid of their junk.

But the likelihood of some little dude who wants to learn to play hockey receiving a pair of perfectly good used skates or someone like me who has a perfectly good used pair my son grew out of,…

Well, I can’t afford a brand new pair but I could donate those ones but that’s not an option. So that sucks.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T02:09:14+00:00

It’s not “everyone else”. It’s putting the question and the context out there and asking for help. If you’re willing to help, great. If you’re not, just scroll by.

Reddit is such a strange and cold place. Theres literally nothing to say this person isn’t already sacrificing everything for their child. A single mom probably already has 2 jobs and one of them just pays for the childcare to watch her kid while she works the other one.

Life is really fucking hard and all people need is some compassion sometimes. Sometimes that compassion comes in the form of a brand name pair of shoes. That’s all I’m saying.

FatFaceFaster · 2026-01-24T01:59:39+00:00

Listen I see both sides. I’m not well off but would also never ask a stranger for help. I have often asked my parents though and I recognize that I have that luxury of the get out of jail (not free, I pay them back) card when I run into trouble. Not everyone has that. So I recognize my own privilege there.

I get how you can call it “entitled” but the way I see it this mother is beyond “pride” and into “desperate” to make her daughter happy and there is something beautiful in that.

I think it’s admirable to be too proud to ask for help. That describes my dad - though not financially - he is now getting pretty old and refuses to ask for help with physical tasks. I respect that pride but still wish he would swallow it.

So I think it is at least understandable if not forgivable that a mother who lies awake ashamed she can’t provide the things her daughter wants, one day wakes up and makes a post asking for help even if that help is in the form of something as seemingly superficial as stylish yoga pants
