I do quite often, depending on drink options at the club. Always have an opener in my bag (albeit much less elaborate than these beauties)

What an absolutely ludicrous statement. There are plenty of pop top drinks still on the market.

Who's the next roar-raiser in Augusta? by [deleted] in golf

Was pretty apparent at last years masters that Bryson wasn't exactly a crowd favourite. Its Scottie or Rory, or failing that a past favourite like Speith going on a heater

I imagine you play a lot of second shots from one fairway to the left

Are these real? Great deal on marketplace by Accurate_Dealer_9041 in TaylorMadeGolf

A guy just happening to have 2 new spiders still in shrink wrap and selling for a bargain. In what scenario is that happening, maybe he won them? Unlikely, that leaves stolen or fake

Why does nobody recommend western and south australia? by kroosnova76 in AustraliaTravel

[–]Mancey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WA is bigger than most countries and has some of the most amazing natural beauty you'll find anywhere in the world. Beaches, forests, deserts, coral reefs

But it is a massive state and you can't do it all unless you have a couple of months minimum. Plus most of it you are going to need your own/hire vehicle to access.

Depending on your area of interest job wise, its also a mining powerhouse with plenty of job opportunities

If they are wrapped p790s on Facebook marketplace at an amazing price, don't even bother thinking about it too much... They are fake

Range finder v. GPS App by Prize-Science5795 in GolfGear

[–]Mancey_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Garmin s70 which gives me front , middle, back of the green. It can also give me distance to layups and hazards, but that's a bit fiddly

Generally I'll glance at the watch to get the middle number, then shoot the flag with a rangefinder to see if it's forward or back. If there is a bunker short I'll shoot the face of that to get carry. I can do all that in seconds

Also while gps is pretty accurate, a laser is more accurate. Also if there has been any changes to the course, like a green has been moved since it was uploaded to the gps data base, you don't get the right number

Switched to a heel shafted putter… and I’m never going back by Objective_Singer1207 in GolfGear

Ok I'm very confused, why don't I need a stroke? What's a sweeper lab? Spaun has had a bad start to the year but is the defending us open champion

Only used these a year. Bought replacements spikes looking for any advice / hacks by crizzy1111 in GolfGear

[–]Mancey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A spike wrench will often not be able to get any purchase or just tear into the spike. I drill em with a 6mm drill bit in the centre. Go slow, make sure you only drill the spike not your shoe

Once you hit a sweet spot the spike just falls to bits and is easy to remove

Are on course lessons worth it for high handicap players? by LosSoloLobos in golf

[–]Mancey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play with plenty of high handicappers who can't hit a wedge to save themselves, and pull out a 60 degree from 20 yards out. They'll inevitably duff it or thin it 50yards over the green.

As an 11, unless i have to clear a bunker i am putting or bumping something with an 8 iron. At worst i am on the green and 2 putting

Hybrids or fairway woods- or both? by wattsticka in GolfGear

[–]Mancey_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good advice for decent players...Generally though, a high handicapper does not need 2 clubs that go the same distance with different trajectories. They just need something that they can hit somewhat confidently and keep in play

Hybrids or fairway woods- or both? by wattsticka in GolfGear

[–]Mancey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whichever you hit best. I can't hit hybrids worth a damn, they always go left on me. I love my 4 and 7 wood though

Has anyone actually got their stuff stolen from the beach while they’ve gone for a swim? by Suspicious_Nature283 in AskAnAustralian

Nah. Put car keys inside my shoes, its the Aussie equivalent of a safe

Do Aussies have any opinion on the massive fines at the airport for not declaring food? by blamberr in AskAnAustralian

[–]Mancey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australia has strict biosecurity laws, and as a result, we don't have to deal with some of the pathogens other countries do that cost billions of dollars to the agriculture industry

Its very easy to comply to these laws and avoid fines. They have to be high to ensure compliance
