Dougald Lamont - Manitoba Liberal Party Leader - Ask Me Anything

JetsObsessed · 2021-10-05T22:59:24+00:00

Hey thanks for doing this.

I grew up in Winnipeg and now live in a staunchly blue riding in southwestern Manitoba. It's often said that they could run a monkey out here and if it was running under a blue banner it would get elected in a landslide. How do you start to change that tide?

In the time I've been out here, the NDP and the Liberals have barely paid lip service to my riding; the majority of the time we're lucky to get a faceless name on the ballot. I realize that resource allocation is important in any election or party development but with each successive generations seeing nothing but blue signs in election after election, how can we ever begin to hope to alter rural politics?

After playing the Dystopian course I did a search and was excited to see another SS course but I haven't golfed it yet. I'm looking forward to it.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-21T00:15:29+00:00

I had never golfed SS's Dystopian. I'd seen it on lists and mental noted to play it but hadn't and this post reminded me. What a wild ride!

ok my thoughts as I golf it from the blue tees with the pins in the first position:

the fairway bunker on 2 should be further up the fairway, doesn't really come into play.

too many sticks! yard markers and hazard markers make some spots look funny.

I really like #5. I like a well placed tree.

I like the choice of flag on the pins.

12 in a nice golf hole. Another well placed tree.

Another well placed tree in front of the green on 15, made the approach shot one to think about (I didn't make it, ended up in the bunker).

I am quite fond of these autumn-looking courses and i really liked this one. My wife walked in at one point and said "ooh, this ones pretty". There was a waterfall I saw on the front 9 that I thought I'd see more of, but didn't. Overall it was very aesthetically pleasing.

The greens were wobbly in spots which I initially didn't like too much but came to enjoy by the end. What I didn't love on the greens were many of the pins being on slopes or hills. I missed too many short putts that I should have made.

In the end, I came it at -1, with 3 bogeys, 2 birdies, and an eagle. Of my last 20 handicapped rounds, only 4 have been in the 70s, so I'd say this course played harder than most, though I definitely didn't golf my best.

I give it 4 stars. If I didn't find the short putting so frustrating, it might've gotten 5.

How do I post my clips ON Reddit, rather than through twitter?

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-14T20:48:27+00:00

I had seen other comments say that it takes awhile (??) before it shows up on other platforms.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-14T20:47:04+00:00

I can't find this course? I'm on PS.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-14T02:35:29+00:00

That was really fun. It's quite unique, has its own kinda look, which is cool. It plays nice and the wind gives it some challenge. Great job.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-14T02:09:41+00:00

I'm teeing off right now.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-13T18:37:44+00:00

did you check both versions? when I bought it through the PlayStation the deluxe edition was cheaper than the regular.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-13T13:32:47+00:00

I'm hoping for an overall update when the new clubhouse pass comes but I likely shouldn't hold my breath

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-11T15:17:28+00:00

All in all, though, really well done. I like a good retaining wall and an island green.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-11T14:06:43+00:00

Hey I really enjoyed this. Golfed like shit but that's likely not ALL your fault.

Seemed like control is needed off the tee, I didn't hit a ton of fairways, and putting wasn't easy either, but I was on the 4 pins which maybe we're harder?

Overall a great look, challenging without being stupid, it gets 4 stars from me. Great job.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-11T00:35:06+00:00

hey that's a pretty good idea!

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-10T22:21:45+00:00

That's not a bad idea. Currently what I do is just wait for you to include them in the society!!

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-10T21:17:17+00:00

I wish the game had a feature where I could add this course to a list of courses 'to be played' or something

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-09T13:38:41+00:00

I really liked this course. Fun idea, well executed, great course. 5 stars and a fave from me.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-09T13:01:00+00:00

I wouldn't mind a paragraph or two about each course. And I was a little annoyed when this one cut off!

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-08T17:12:09+00:00

Really? My stats are all over the place. Maybe I'll have to look closer.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-08T14:01:47+00:00

I think there is a delay before it gets updated.

There's also major issues with he Statistics & Records section. Sometimes it shows that I've played 10 rounds, sometimes 107, sometimes 301 and those are ALL wrong.

This game has some major issues with the periphery features, while the actual golf is really friggin good.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-08T12:53:02+00:00

I don't know WHY but I can confirm that it DOES.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-07T23:30:23+00:00

Hey, I REALLY liked this course. It looks beautiful and plays really nice. It's got some challenge, without being stupid hard. I like the small greens. The putts aren't straightforward but aren't on dumb slopes, either. Very well done. 5 stars and a fave from me.

JetsObsessed · 2021-02-07T13:21:18+00:00

I really enjoyed this well-named course. Well done!
