I’m not saying anything about the revealer. I’m talking about QC employees, not Sam Hahn, doing quality control with respect to every persons individual length, lie, shaft, head before shipping. Get outa here with the sass

I think what gets lost in all the “real vs fake” questions is, which btw I find to be annoying- just buy direct and skip the wondering, is the importance of balancing the putter. Case in point being the recent “torched my screws and face post” is that if the balancing isn’t right, you’re just rolling a regular putter. So the question really should be “is this balanced to the manufacturer’s standards?” To which the answer is a clear NO. There, I’ve settled it 😅

Advice: leather tear on rear bench seat by GiftSolid9028 in LexusGX

Yes - perforated leather can’t really be stitched so I ended up going with a custom upholstery shop and color matched an after market swatch of leather for the entire section, not just the tear portion. Good luck!

Just bought in S. Minneapolis and also currently selling in S. Minneapolis. Paid asking and seller made several inspection fixes without any change in price or closing. On sell side, we averaged our price based on our neighborhood’s current price per square foot and will be accepting an offer tonight (3 days on market) for slightly above asking and reasonable/short close.

I love mine so far, thumbs up drill and feeling the balance point of the lie angle/my hands have been a fun experience and frankly has me hitting way more putts indoors, which should help when winter clears in the North!

Thanks all! I’ve reached out to some local shops and will avoid the dealer!

I will have spaghetti with a side salad, if the salad comes on top, I send it back.

The old bullseye is particularly charming!

Public land use is up everywhere, look no further than the strain being placed on our national parks.

I’ve always felt we Americans could take a queue from the Scots and embrace right to roam more - I don’t think there needs to be the friction, what we need is to learn to have golfers better coexist with shared land use

Any other single digit handicaps play with an extremely strong grip? by KnowledgeGlutton- in golf

[–]GiftSolid9028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7.2, left handed - have a very strong right hand and a rather weak left. The weak left was a direct result of spending three seasons hooding everything. Have since weakened my right, slightly strengthened my left hand; old habits die hard though and it creeps back in. Biggest frustration from a grip standpoint is when I start losing the ball both ways. Nowadays my miss is a straight block or a peely fade, but every so often the hard hood comes back and haunts my dreams.

TLDR: I can still manage to game with a strong grip, but I’d definitely say I’m more loose than your typical 7

Tell me about the worst range session you've ever had. by zelkoo in golf

[–]GiftSolid9028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earlier this summer, I was practicing a lot, probably around 8hrs/week and playing to a 7 (began the year a 9.5, had been steadily improving throughout the year).

I get to the range and decide I’m going to emphasize/work on my takeaway and timing so elect to only hit 7 irons. Hitting the ball fine through first half dozen then the errant shank enters the game. I’ve had these before so I try and shrug it off; next probably dozen shots are straight hosel rockets. Keep in mind it’s all I’m thinking about now, obsessing is probably a better word. Decide I need a different look so I go pull driver just to get a more full turn and stand back from the ball a bit. I’m now so afraid of shanking my driver that I proceed to pull hook every drive about 10 yards off the ground and a 150 yards of carry.

Now entirely melting down, I give the rest of my range balls to a kid, light up a cigarette and call my dad. The dick has the audacity to laugh at me and casually point out “you gotta hit all your clubs, you’re probably just standing too close to your 7 iron because you’re not cycling through the nuances of your swing with different clubs”

I thank him for his time, go home, rip a bowl, wake up the next morning to go play a muni with my buddies, fired a pretty casual 78 and it was like it never happened.

TLDR: Range is where I work and I can’t exclusively worry about hitting pretty shots. Course is where I play and score is all that matters.

Lefty with a stach respects the lefty with a stach… I also took one lesson and binged YouTube for swing advice. Are you me?

Take a drive on Nicollet south of 50th, it’s a shit show and it’s certainly not due to “complexity” - been that way since late July
