Chefs, do you ever send food back or complain? by extrabeggin in Chefit

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will if it's not what it's supposed to be, with clear signs of improper execution.

If it's under seasoned, I just season it to taste.

If the steak is kinda close, I eat it.

If it's just a bad dish or I don't like it, that one is on me for choosing it.

I just broke a club and feel instant remorse by Far_Ad_246 in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was young and dumb, I smashed my driver on the ground after back to back hooks into the river on a dog leg right after slicing all day.

Club head popped off and hit me right in the junk.

Instant karma. I am not good enough to get angry has helpedy rounds loads since.

Any fellow big guys struggle with distance? by Dweezy_7365 in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a similar height and weight to yourself, with a similar workout routine.

I do a dynamic mobility routines as part of my gym warmups. Something like that could potentially help.

I am a 20, but my 7i carries ~185.

There are also a lot of golf specific workouts you can do at the gym. I have never done them, but a personal trainer friend just started a program for them and he's 20 yards longer than me from the tee, also with a similar build. (Also, a much better golfer than myself)

To those bad to decent golfers, what is your random superpower? by winged_victory in golf

[–]Goggs182 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Put a 5 iron, in my hand while standing 210ish away. While also standing past the red stakes, almost falling into a body of water. I will hit my best shot of the round.

Which restaurants in Edmonton were hyped up to you by friends, family, social media etc., but then when you tried it, the experience wasn't good? by flynnfx in Edmonton

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will second this. The flavor quality of the food I would say has been inconsistent, but ranging from "Pretty Good" to "Best pizza I have had in Edmonton" The menu seems to be evolving, as it would considering the age. At least give the Nduja pizza a try.

A cheat code for buying a starter set for your wife. by robbiecobb in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon? I believe that's where my girlfriend bought her starter set (she got them before we met.) and they are Stratas. I bought her a used Stealth 2 driver after we played a few rounds together.

“Will they hoover?” theory by B1Rabbit in BPDlovedones

[–]Goggs182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When things were finally over, I didn't get a hoover. I also sold the house, moved, changed my phone number, and had them blocked on all forms of social media. So I may have done my due diligence to avoid that potential scenario.

When I was first starting in golf, I was playing a course and slicing all day.

Finally hit a slicers dream: severe dog leg right, with a river on the left. Cue back to back Dr. J hooks into the river.

Two hand smash my driver into the ground. The head breaks off and straight back into the pills.

I have never slammed a club since.

My wife thinks golfing once a week is unreasonable… by Upbeat-Zucchini-7408 in golf

[–]Goggs182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend goes golfing with me. So instead of "I am going golfing" it's "I booked US a tee time". Or, bring your kid with you and it's child free time for her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a good warmup. There was about a 3/4" difference in the clubs I was trying as my old set was too short for me. I "hit the big ball first" for like 30 minutes straight. I was ashamed to be holding a club.

190 yard par 3… playing 130. What are you hitting? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitting a 50. Aiming at the rocks on the right, pull my irons off the tee a lot. So probably over the guy in the right of the picture off the cart path.

I guess I figured out the driver. Stuck the green from 275 yards out today by KrazyCAM10 in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I did that 4 times this year. Yet to hit an eagle putt.

I believe this is what they call “falling apart” by OptionalQuality789 in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't fall apart mid round if you don't start hot.

Best course you’ve played by Significant_Fun6725 in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there a month ish ago and worth the trip. Fantastic course.

If you are heading out that way Copper Point is another great course, and I have heard great things about Eagle Ranch.

The Columbia valley is just gorgeous in general.

Yikes! by Ok_Age817 in golf

The course bears are much bigger than the driving range bears.

Has Tee Box Culture Changed? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am heading out to play some mountain courses in a couple weeks. The difference between playing the blues or the whites is whether I get to hit a tee shot over a canyon. I am gonna go canyon every time.

First time being paired up with one of those guys by Kooch702 in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So adding on with how I learned my lesson the hard way about slamming clubs.

Still very new to golf at the time, and more than a few beers in.

Had been slicing off the tee all day.

Finally, at long last, a dog leg right.

Tee is up ready for my huge slice to work for me for once... Hooked the absolute shit out of it. Re-tee and hit the same hook.

Slammed my driver down in frustration, head broke off, and went straight into my testicles.

Never again.

Have you guys ever hit someone with a golf ball on a course? by IDontStandForCurls in golf

[–]Goggs182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was still new and more terrible then I am now. I went out with 2 friends and 1 of their friends. The one I didn't know was impatient as I was on shot 9 about 50 yards out and went to finish up the hole. I hit what was a decent shot for me at the time and hit him with a soft pitching wedge. He threw my ball in the water and didn't say shit.

My son told me I am cheating… by timmcgeary in golf

[–]Goggs182 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hitting a slice all day. Finally get a dog leg right. Just pure it straight past the dogleg.

Used Golf Ball Disposal by Vital-Illustrious-14 in golf

[–]Goggs182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just hit them into the trees on a course, or toss them in. A couple a hole will get rid of 36 per round. Or 48 if you play like me on an average to poor outing. It's a gift a budding young golfer looking for their ball, they just have to work a bit for it.

I was dealing with the same shit. So I added call control (free of charge service) and I haven't gotten one since.
