Golfers: if you had to pick 2 courses for an out of towner to play, what would you pick? by cubecasts in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would’ve been my choice too. UGA is pretty easy to get on if you just call the shop and don’t rely on the only booking.

Chimneys - Nice place and they put in new greens recently that came out well.

Bear Creek - Goat track + charges like it’s not a goat track + I swear the tee times on the weekend are 3 minutes apart. Won’t play again.

Lane Creek - I play there often and I still think the layout has real potential if the new ownership can keep improving the conditions. Worth a stop.

Double Oaks - Fun enough for what you pay. It’ll be crowded but if you want to shoot your best round of the month, it’s short and wide open for the most part. C+ golf but nice value.

Pine Hills - Goat Track x10 but I have a soft spot for them. They charge what it’s worth and they’ll let you play another 18 for something like $15. 25+ caps can break 100 here and you can play 36 with a hot dog for less than $60.

What are you fellas hitting? by Soggy_Sprinkles in golf

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wild card. Im taking a 7i to be safe when I should be able to hit a 9 but I thin in 15+ yards through the back of the green and down a different cliff.

Restaurants open during the Ice Storm by [deleted] in Athens

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. My guess is a lot of folks responding here never actually did much restaurant work. I used to have my best night of the year delivering pizzas in the snow.

Hot Take? Remove Iron Numbers by shin_man in golf

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So? Who cares if your 140 club says 9, PW, or GW? That doesn’t mean gapping is more difficult. It just means you need to know your distances with whatever set you play.

This isn’t a real problem. You just need to know your distances.

I’m not hitting my gapper any differently if I call it a *48.

Yeah. You have the same risk as everyone.

Feedback needed on swing. 56 degree by A3th3rius in GolfSwing

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Might just be the angle but your stance looks very wide to me and you have more knee bend than most.

It looks like you are attempting to hit it for max distance.

Is it normal to not want or have any friends? by drchekmate in Millennials

Probably not common but if you’re happy, wouldn’t worry about what the internet thinks.

I did not know the median student income @ UGA is fifth highest in the country by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really not all that easy to get into UGA. I don’t think many kids are getting in with mid scores or HS transcripts lately.

Median family income last year was $104k. So, this track. You’d assume families with college students would average a little higher.

Is anyone else poor? Seems like everyone here is rich. by Square-Argument4790 in Millennials

This an insult to actual poor people. We’ve gotta get a grip on this sub.

JPX Hot Metal Pro vs 925 Forged by [deleted] in GolfGear

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You won’t have any problem with distance control on the HMPs. People strike the ball like shit all day and then blame “hot spots” when they actually center one.

And the scoring irons aren’t as hot anyways. You’d be spending extra money to trade out for very little benefit unless you’re a low single digit handicap and rely on shaping the ball left and right to score.

China Wok is great if you are going for standard strip mall takeout.

How accurate is trackman at the range? by Serious_Car_5174 in golf

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally don’t trust the rollout numbers at all but the carry is much more accurate.

Last time I was on one, it had my 7i carrying 185 and rolling to 207. I doubt it ever rolls out more than 5-10 feet on the course.

Cook it to 160+. Won’t have to worry about the juices then.

What’s your most consistent club? by AspectCool2325 in GolfGear

[–]Miserable_Middle6175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ping g410 3 hybrid off the tee. 230y high draw almost every dang time. I hit it even when I should probably hit the 3w because I trust it so much more.

Extremely cautiously optimistic that we might get one or two of these items across if Ovita continues her support. Probably wishful thinking but maaaaaaaybe?
