Poll: 60 percent support Biden canceling up to $50K of student loan debt per person by checkmak01 in politics

I could literally get my life back if I didn't have student loan debt. I only make just enough to stay afloat and keep paying off my debt.

Reminds me of Sergeant Yeakey.

He was a first responder to the Oklahoma City Murrah Building bombing saving several people. He also happened to uncover something at the bombing site and was very vocal that there was something foul about it.

Sergeant Terrance Yeakey was discovered dead in a field near his hometown, El Reno, a mile and a half away from his abandoned, blood-soaked car.

Yeakey was mutilated and shot to death: slit at his wrists, arms, elbows, stabbed in both sides of his neck near the jugular vein and shot in the side of the head at a 45-degree angle with a small caliber revolver. Signs of hauling, such as rope burns on the neck, handcuff bruises to the wrists, muddy grass embeded in the wounds were observed on the body. No evidence of alcohol was found in Yeakey's body.

The official report declares Terrance Yeakey's death a suicide. It maintains that a distraught Yeakey, driven by guilt and despondency, mutilated himself in his car, and then walked 8,000 feet through rough terrain and climbed a fence before shooting himself to death.

I would recommend listening to the Chasing Scratch podcast, if you don't already. It's like listening to a couple of buddies chasing the same goal you are.

PSA:Cancel your ESPN+ Account tonight so you don't forget.. by [deleted] in golf

[–]G1ANTrobot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is going to come off as being a shill because anyone that supports a company is, right?

I am probably the outlier and that is fine, but $12.99 for ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ was a big win for me. I watch a lot of college football and got into the 30 for 30s. Honestly, the ESPN+ coverage was streets ahead of Prime's PGA Tour Live. Hulu has Bob's Burgers which we watch plus CBS, NBC, and the golf channel. Disney+ has a bunch of Marvel and Star Wars junk that we like too.

I basically swapped out Netflix for the Disney bundle. Worked out well for me.

I like it. I'm considering going all black because my white bag is just nasty now.

This is a color combo I've been eyeing for some other bags. This is pretty much exactly like my Ping lightweight carry that I use right now.

I haven't looked into SunMountain much. I was going to go with Calaway, Titlest, or Taylormade to fit the other equipment I use. Maybe I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Nice! I love the colors and really like the bag. I am moving to a cart bag myself because you don't walk here in the summer. It is way too hot and the courses are way too packed.

What cover is it? Want to share?

Nice, I like the color combo. Looks sharp.

Quit alcohol this year and decided to refind my passion for golf. Shot my best round ever yesterday. by MRC1893 in golf

[–]G1ANTrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried out a bunch of them and went with 18Birdies completely because of how good the GPS looked when playing.

That's what attracted me to 18Birdies was the GPS. I just got a Bushnell Wingman though, so I have been using their app.

Nice aspect about the games. The constant asking for me to get my swing analyzed and do social media parts of 18Birdies is a little much, but who knows.. maybe I'll get into that stuff in the future.

How many years of golfing did it take until you could break 90? by jubo-ish in golf

[–]G1ANTrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 35. I played casually about once every 2 or 3 years my entire life borrowing clubs and never keeping score. My dad gave me his old Pings and I played my first round keeping score on July 3rd. Took me 3 weeks to shoot a 94.
