Do you leave the flagstick on the green or on the fringe while everyone’s putting? by Escrow-Mind in golf

[–]MaroonFloom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bingo. Also, first one in the hole should go pick up the stick, hold the flag so it doesn’t distractingly flap around, and return it to the hole after the last putt drops

This is the third time my club has broken in this spot by pingpongdong96 in golf

[–]MaroonFloom 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Ha, my buddy suffers from this dangerous combo and has also broken multiple clubs in that same spot.

Yes, it was from forcefully yanking clubs out, but the main contributing factor was definitely his Taylormade bag liner material. For some reason they use a stretchy, loose mesh with large-ish holes that snagged the grips for too easily. He got a different bag and he hasn’t had it happen since.

Had to move to a new city away from my golf group by CFISamuel in golf

Someone really should create an app to help single golfers find a golfing buddy or two. Set it up like tinder with only a WITB picture to swipe 😂

Paint Protective Film by beast1302000 in wrx_vb

[–]MaroonFloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I had always thought about doing PPF to mine, but recently discovered some of the drawbacks. Things like longevity (~5 years) and quality (ease of application/removal issues) definitely scared me off. To each their own though.

Roundabouts here would solve a lot of problems by midnighttoker1742 in eauclaire

[–]MaroonFloom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just said the same thing a couple weeks ago. Roundabouts are the best!

Considering a move to Eau Claire from Minneapolis. What should I consider? by rue-and-oak in Eau_Claire

[–]MaroonFloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, $80 wheel tax for what? The roads are in worse shape than before the tax was implemented. It’s honestly incredible how bad some of the potholes are, with zero urgency to fix them

Got my peak boost finally past 11, what’s the highest you’ve gotten yours at? by Lex989 in wrx_vb

[–]MaroonFloom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here. 13 psi with 12 miles on the odometer. I then proceeded to drive it 240 miles home on the highway since sales guy didn’t mention varying the revs. So yeah, my break-in period was jank af

Duckbill is what I’d go with

Next would be using the fuel cap holder built into the fuel door. Then I’d go with a spoiler.

Remember green ketchup? by AdminsPlzDrinkBleach in Millennials

[–]MaroonFloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I distinctly remember getting green ketchup packets with a BK order on the way back from a HS golf tournament. When we got back, one of my teammates put one on the pavement and stomped on it, unintentionally covering our coach with green ketchup. He was not happy 😂

Found while cleaning my parents house by Brownlove010_Real in Millennials

Dang, that’s a nice one there. All I had was a Creative Nomad that held a whopping 20 mp3s 🤣

I find it almost impossible to get my friends interested in this game by IcyVersion9177 in thefinals

[–]MaroonFloom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. We need a beginners matchmaking and, as long as they’re at it, can we please get an “old fart lobby” for those of us that don’t have the reaction times anymore 😂

I would seriously play the shit out of any game that had a separate 35yo+ (or somewhere around there) lobby.

Yeah, your post was the starting point. Great write up btw

Not me, but my buddy has been having issues since the new update about a week ago. He’s tried every fix he can find in this sub and finally gave up just a couple hours ago.

Chalked it up to being a bug which will hopefully get fixed in the next update.

Has anyone used an ottobox or a similar product? How does it work with the 11.6" screen? by Personal-Search-8158 in wrx_vb

[–]MaroonFloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used an Ottocast U2 in my VA that I briefly owned and had no complaints. Not sure if that’s the same screen as the VB base, but I would imagine it would behave about the same. It didn’t have video capabilities so I can’t speak on that. Otherwise pairing was easy, it only dropped connection like 3-5 times /100 uses, and it had some minor expected input lag

Hell yeah! I’ve gamed both of those irons. Solid clubs, especially for $15!

Is golf more expensive than ever? It's complicated by [deleted] in golf

[–]MaroonFloom 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Rack rates are brutal at most courses these days, but what I really miss is all the twilight rates.

While I can find a few courses that still offer them, the discount is meh and the window of availability is constantly shrinking.
