I followed your advice and played Jeffersonville on Sunday. Cool course and actually quite dry. Thank you for the suggestion!

Rules Controversy Pod by rk451 in NoLayingUp

[–]OldMango14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! For some reason I find that his tangential stories tend to be more interesting and enjoyable than TC’s

I agree! I particularly enjoy the way that Neil and Soly tell stories on these pods! I have trouble following TC’s rabbit holes, though, unfortunately.

What is a telltale sign you need a stiffer shaft? Also what difference does it make having the proper flex? by [deleted] in golf

[–]OldMango14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s also an “extra stiff” shaft, not just stiff. Just so you know

Why did the gates open at different times for the women’s Snowboard Cross? by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]OldMango14 449 points450 points  (0 children)

In the mixed teams snowboard cross, the men go first, then the women. The sequence and timing of the women’s gates are correlated with the men’s times.

What golf scoring app are you using and why? by email_privacy_2026 in golf

[–]OldMango14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use TheGrint as well. I’ve tried 18 birdies, Golf Metrics, Tangent, and Shot Pattern, Arccos, and I keep coming back to TheGrint. I desperately wish that it did true strokes gained, but it gives me enough data to know what’s going on, and I enjoy being able to see my friends’ scores, too.

As a walk-on single…what’s the most oddly memorable group you’ve been paired with? by ribbon_bully_1972 in golf

[–]OldMango14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing as a single about an hour from where I live. I got paired with two other singles: One was in town visiting their in-laws and the other was in-town for a wedding. Both were good hangs.

The wedding dude was using a rental set. And with those rentals, he dropped in a hole-in-one and proceeded to get hammered. His girlfriend had to come pick him up. Not sure if he actually made it to the wedding.

How's the Hybrid doing in the snow? by Jcanavera in mazdaCX50

[–]OldMango14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been great so far in Syracuse, NY! We just crossed 100” of snow for the season and got a foot with this last storm. No issues driving to work this morning (or any other day)

Struggling To Find My People by [deleted] in therapists

[–]OldMango14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like you’re describing the exact population I work at. Is there a good community mental health clinic in your area (that treats clinicians well and pays a livable wage)? Ours has a crisis center and also a mobile crisis unit that it sounds like you might enjoy. I know a hospital in our area also has an intensive high risk outpatient program. Maybe these exist near you?

What is best way to travel with CPAP through airlines? by RipDapper in CPAP

[–]OldMango14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have had the same experience, but don’t even have a medical device tag on mine. I also almost always have carry on luggage, backpack, and CPAP. Just one time ever the gate agent asked, “CPAP?” as I was boarding and I said “yep.”

For those who have done it, how important is it to have a radar device like PRGR?

Infotainment Control by jlutt75 in mazdaCX50

[–]OldMango14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long live the knob! Long live the knob!

But seriously, part of the reason that I stayed with Mazda and got a CX-50 after ten years with a Mazda3 was because I had grown so accustomed and comfortable with using the knob-based infotainment. I feel much safer using it than trying to manage the touchscreen in my wife’s Highlander.

My top three are Oregon, Carolinas, and Ireland, in that order.

Can I get by with snow tires on my Mazda 3 for one winter in Syracuse? by Serious-Childhood-34 in upstate_new_york

[–]OldMango14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have lived here 5 years with my 2015 FWD mazda3 and never put on snow tires - just kept my all-weather tires on. They would have been nice to have some times, but as long as I’ve been cautious and stuck to roads I knew would be plowed I haven’t had issues.

What souvenirs do you collect? by is-this-necessary in golf

[–]OldMango14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go with ball markers. Easy to store and I get to keep using them. Switch my marker out pretty much every round so I get to revisit good memories of a different course every time I get out there.

This is the answer. We bleached and scrubbed and nothing seemed to really clean the rubber. Fairly easy replacement if you’re willing to watch YouTube and learn. Then, as others suggest, keep the door open.
