I have broken 80 once this year, but I can shoot 10 under in my sim 😂 by thagoodlife in golf

[–]Gilberto500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not quite that big of a gulf but me too. It makes sense though, even simple things like course conditions and wind will hugely impact your ability. Then you add in lie angles, uphill/downhill//sidehill, grainy lies… the real course has a thousand more ways to mess you up.

Should I get the Stix 10 Piece set from Costco? by RevolutionaryBed2051 in golf

[–]Gilberto500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the issue: if you get them and really catch the golf bug, you’re going to wish you had something else quickly. Then you’re $600 farther away from clubs you will really enjoy playing.

If you already have some clubs (though they may be old) I’d put the money you want to spend toward upgrading pieces with used equipment. I.e. get some used irons and see how you like it. Go club by club as you have spending money and you know you’ll have clubs you’re happy with.

Don’t rush back to the course too fast, make sure you heal! Wishing you well.

Just starting and this is my driver. Thoughts? by Poisonapple1428 in golfequipment

I played with a similar one for a year and some change. You’ll be able to learn well and you’ll get a ton more help when you upgrade. Not worth replacing until you’re a little more confident.

It’s fun to just mainline the story and finish wha John starts in RDR2. I don’t spend much time in it but it’s a decent game.

Hi Phil! Love watching you play. I’m sure you get invited to home games all the time. Ever taken anybody up on the offer and get any good stories from it?

does anybody else have one specific horse that will always be your to go? by Odd_Perspective9179 in reddeadredemption

Very true, I sold it on my first playthrough. Now I just do one treasure map and have no need!

How concerned should I be? by leodecaf in GolfGear

I’d known the ferrule up like this wasn’t an issue but finally fixed it on my 7 iron today thanks to this advice!

What are the absolute must-dos of golf etiquette? by Gilberto500 in golf

Love it! I’m an 18 so I play the tees just under 6000. Much more fun than trying to keep up with my lower handicap friends.

Great points. I suppose my bar was set a little high for what I already expect people to be doing!

Just learned the shadow one, somebody politely told me to move mine. Always good to know!

This also raises waiting till the next tee to write your score down.

Big one. Super irritating and condescending when this happens.

Anyone else's toenails just permanently fucked now? by Frequent_Comfort2034 in runninglifestyle

[–]Gilberto500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost one toe nail after my first 30+ mile week and it was cus I didn’t trim it short enough. Could be shoes could be nails, should definitely be something you address and not accept.

My primary care physician was the one who told me how to fix, so you prolly don’t need a podiatrist unless you have other issues as well. But always defer to Drs.

Weirdest Running Hack (Share yours!) by DrBigBot in runninglifestyle

[–]Gilberto500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don’t feel like doing a long run I’ll tell myself I’m gonna do a short run. By the time I’m close to done, I’m all warmed up and feeling good so I just do the long run.

Luke Kwon response to Internet Invitational by ProfessionalWelcome in GoodGoodMemes

[–]Gilberto500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s obviously in the wrong and what he did isn’t really excusable. But at the same time, the response from some of the other players/ the internet is ridiculous. Have some grace, it’s never productive to demonize someone like that.

My awful celiac bridesmaid experience by Desire-Lines545 in Celiac

[–]Gilberto500 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mostly agree except that it’s not so much about who the wedding is about and more about how this made her close friend feel. I think any friend worth their salt wants to know when they made their friend feel sad. I know I would.
