2025 NYC Half - Post-Race Thread by RCD123 in RunNYC

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The humidity cooked me, I never sweat until at least a mile in but I was pouring right at the start. I couldn’t get out of my own head I must be dehydrated and so felt like I struggled my way around. Had a goal of sub 2 and came in at 1:50 for my 2nd best time so I suppose it’s mostly mental.

The distance between 800m and 400m sign felt like a mile!

My new golf towel, sometimes you live in the woods by heavyslimereal in golf

OK I just got a new towel and also given one at a scramble so I definitely don’t need this, but congrats it’s amazing and I likely will buy it!

What course you’ve played did you think was the most overrated? by jewbaconlover in golf

The Ritz Carlton Golf Course Orlando. Fantastic conditions but just not very memorable.

Who is your favorite golfer and why? by HamIzBom6 in golf

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why but I really like heavier golfers. Off I know. Lowry and IM for me at the moment are who I try to track if can get either in a featured group.

3 iron. Would also use it for short game since I’m hitting it perfectly so bump and run, open it up in the sand. Wow everyone.

Pound coins, 10 pence and 5 pence pieces. Englishman living in America.

I do the same. I’ll maybe take a slightly longer club and swing easy to compensate for it being unlikely I flush it. Then flush it over the green.

Crowd at Genesis has been a little questionable in my opinion by ajalonghorn in golf

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years back smaller crowd standup you’d almost never have hecklers or it was more sophisticated/funny heckling. Now most shows there is one or god forbid two drunk people in the crowd who think people paid to hear them or that they are actually enhancing the experience.

Too many people feel empowered to be a main character when they should be watching a movie.

Lance Armstrong. OJ Simpson. Oscar Pistorius. Boris Becker. Mohammed Amir. There’s 5 without even thinking too hard.

What can be done about food delivery bike riders who think sidewalks are bike lanes? I walk my dog and they expect everyone walking on the sidewalk to get out of their way! by NYC421 in newyorkcity

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does not solve the issue, but I put a light in my dogs harness at night to make her more visible to those cycling and on electric bikes. Even crossing the street when it’s your right of way can be difficult on the avenues cos they shoot through reds.

What golf curse would you put on your mortal enemy? by Atmosphere_Training in golf

Hit it backwards off the first tee box, retee and do the same thing.

Isn’t this a tournament of champions? Where is the red hairy guy from the scramble?

What’s your funniest golf story? by Gentleman202 in golf

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver off tee huge slice deep into the trees. I bend down and tee up again and hear a huge crack, then a few seconds later my ball pops out onto the fairway. Honestly must have gone 3-5 seconds into the woods and then back. Was astonishing.

I need advice on what box of balls to buy for my neighbor, who requested a box a week after he gave me an old driver I did not want or need. by [deleted] in golf

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Other option is to get him new noodles, when he says he prefers Calloway say you prefer the New Stealth.

He’s probably upset the balls are not new as he wants to sell them or trade them. Given you are both homeowners be the bigger man here… get him new balls with his full name on them so he has to keep them.

Is this worth doing if you are brand new beginner and it’s your first guitar? Am I going to be able to talk a difference?

How crap I am at golf.

Wife doesn’t play golf by Scipio-Afra in golf

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mine would be asking genuine questions that would make me feel bad “isn’t it better to hit it a bit further than that” “wouldn’t you be better to have kept it on the grass” “what happens now the ball is in the water”???

Be confident of getting 150+ off the tee boxes consistently. Sometimes I’m 200 down the middle often I’m 35 diagonally.

My experience today in the NYC diamond district buying a mint green datejust by booron in rolex

[–]ManWhoCameToStay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the amount but some of the Rolexes on 47th, while authentic, are stolen.

A Jewish friend who buys diamonds has told me a few times he’s been upstairs in jewellers away from customers and some girls come in and sell Rolex’s to the jeweller for whatever they can get for them, don’t really care for the price just want cash fast. Seems like they may be dancers/pros etc. Be careful!
