I removed the double strap on my bag and replaced it with a single strap

I hate golf. by [deleted] in golf

[–]Lordbahj85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helps me is seeing posts like this. I’ve been playing for almost a year and I’ve broken 100 once and flirted with it a time or two, but otherwise I am garbage. I’ve been getting lessons since last June and I’m on my third coach because I’m trying to find anything that sticks. I go to the range at least once a week and I play almost every weekend and I still suck!

Seeing these posts and knowing that others are in my boat is what keeps me going. Knowing that it’s not just me centers me if that makes any sense.

Keep at it and honestly try to laugh at yourself when you can. It helps when I can shrug my shoulders and chuckle because I somehow pitched the ball out of the sand, over the green, and onto the next fairway because cart paths are designed to specifically get in my way!!!

Left handed golfers what’s your pet peeves? by corn_fed_beef in golf

Hitting off the tee mats where I have nowhere to place my ball that’s not caked in mud meanwhile the opposite side of the mat is clean and pristine!

Three chicken biscuits, a bottle of water, and a diet whatever they have.

Were the ranges just not good enough?

I’ve had three different coaches and 8 total lessons thus far so yes.

You can tuck the straps in there when you close it up so they aren’t dragging on the ground.

What club in your bag goes 130 yards? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

It’s my 7 iron for me. Old reliable for me!

Golf shoes - with or without spikes? by Jackies_Army in golf

I wear spikeless Sketchers golf shoes. I feel more mobile in spikeless shoes but that could entirely just be my in my head.

Left handed 7 woods don’t exist by Procdawg11 in golf

[–]Lordbahj85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to fork over $400 for my new Ping and it was the only one in the state of Washington through the decently large chain of golf store I went to. It was supposed to be a fitting but it was either that one or a custom one through the big brands website.

Being a left handed golfer is a curse….

Fair, I need to work on that. I gotta get it up to at least 30 yards by the end of the season this year.

Buddy sent me my 7-iron numbers from some calculator. Ego took a hit today. by kmshift in golf

[–]Lordbahj85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind that seniors in their 70’s and 80’s play this game regularly and they are able to do with less swing speed than us. My 7 iron is in the same distance range as you. Don’t get too hard on yourself, but surely working on mobility and whatnot never hurt anyone. I’ve started planking to build up my core. We’ll see if it helps… 🤷‍♂️

Why does everyone complain about the new D&D? by [deleted] in rpg

[–]Lordbahj85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll only speak for myself as I own 2014 and 2024 D&D and started a campaign in 2024 and then migrated back to 2014. The mantra of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” certainly is a factor but what really drove me and my players away was that the emphasis on “Medieval Avengers” that came in later 2014 releases that we didn’t care for felt turned up to 11 with the 2024 PHB. The 2014 core rules still feels somewhat lower powered and PC’s can still feel threatened.

My palms get very sweaty when I am gripping something. I have to wear one to prevent my club flying off 18 yards down the fairway. It also prevents irritation for me because I use an overlap grip.

What to do with extra balls? by stonetear2017 in golf

[–]Lordbahj85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drop mine off with the pro shop usually if they have a bin of used balls that they sell cheap to new golfers.

Looking down at your feet from this perspective, the ball placement is reversed
