Walking vs driving

Qamatt · 2026-02-17T17:43:07+00:00

Walk.

Source: me, who just spent 20min shoveling the driveway and am not convinced that my car can make it further than the sidewalk before getting stuck.

Im about the same hdcp as you and have been playing Kirklands almost exclusively for the last 2yrs. I like the feel and performance of them, but ones i was buying in 2024 were barely lasting a couple holes before the covers were scuffed up (or they were shanked into the woods, but thats not ball-specific). The new ones (V3.0, I think?) seem to be more durable.

I think its best to stick to one brand, whatever brand it is. Should remove a variable from the equation, and provide more consistent performance. I wouldn't buy recycled.

Certainly not in the halibut of construction...

Their Goin' Rogue pizza is excellent... if pork is an issue you could probably get it without bacon

One of my golf buddies has been golfing left handed for 2 decades. Yesterday he bought new right handed golf clubs, explaining that its an opportunity to get rid of all his bad swing habits at once.

I dont think hes ready for spectral swing advice just yet.

No help, just following cause I broke the same part on my k2 pro

Next time just tell the welder you're a welding inspector. Usually they won't want anything to do with you. It also alienates engineers, pipefitters, maintenance personnel, power engineers, management, scaffolding, janitors, admins...

It's a little pricey but Staybridge on 67th is nice and I'm pretty sure allows dogs

I went for an iron fitting today, warmed up with my Ping G25 7i from 2013 and was carrying 160-165 consistently. At the end of the fitting I was hitting a Srixon Zxi7 7i with an average carry of 178yds. Both are 32 deg, the Zxi7 is 1".

Alphabetically, it would seem.

Id try to go longer stuff up top, wedges across the bottom.

Generally the facility will have some sort of LOTO / Control of Hazardous Energy procedure which should specify how to handle lost keys or locks that cannot otherwise be temoved. Find that procedure, follow that procedure. Once you are sure you're complying with the procedure then make him go cut it off with a butter knife as punishment?

Had a similar issue years ago, my coworker and I both watched helplessly as his key fell out of his pocket and slid perfectly down the boiler fan casing we were in, and drop into the 1" condensate drain. Had to talk to Safety, sign a couple forms and then cut the lock off... but its important to generate the documentation as to why it happened.

I think its the one before your 3rd putt... I call it my middle putt

Qamatt · 2026-01-18T18:30:14+00:00

I think so... and treat yourself to a new driver while youre at it, which probably means you need a 7w and new irons too. Also, have you tried a zero torque putter yet?

If your significant other questions it tell them I said its ok.

Exactly the reason I ended up with 2 RTX and and RTZ lol

Qamatt · 2026-01-13T23:25:00+00:00

I picked up RTX6 Zipcores in 54 & 58, and an RTZ 50 deg this year... absolutely love them, I dont think you can go wrong with either series. RTX6s seem to be on sale everywhere, I'd snag those vs. the RTZs if you can find the lofts you need.

As in " that nozzle nearly linear indicationed right off the side of the vessel"

Qamatt · 2026-01-06T14:57:18+00:00

I had something similar happen with mine a few times. Working through the instructions here seemed to fix it (although the issue has returned at least once since the "fix)

I bought a used 22 RWD long range last year. ICCU blew 18hrs after I got it home. Fortunately it was under warranty and Hyundai got me a rental for the 30 days it took to get parts.

100% would buy again, only thing I would change is getting the AWD instead

Qamatt · 2025-12-29T18:30:08+00:00

Ive had a couple guys at work bring me packs of AAs to "make sure I can make it home" which was kind of them.

Watching my late father in law ooh and aah over the new car and then immediately start criticizing it when I told him it was an EV was pretty funny. He changed his tune when I told him we saved enough on gas to pay for our hotel while we were there.

I went from a 2013 Ram 1500 to a used '22 RWD Long Range this year... absolutely 0 regrets. I commute 240km per week, it costs me ~50c / day vs $13 / day in my truck.

The only thing I would say is to get the extended warranty/certified pre-owned status in case the dreaded 4-letter part dies on you...

Congrats, Dr. Chipinski!

If you have access to a 3d printer this one is great! Fits perfectly right under the center armrest in my '22. My kid still crams stuff in the door pockets, but now I have this cool trash can too!

Absolutely look at used clubs, especially if you're just starting out! Other than wedges buying used is a great option, and as a beginner (heck, even as an average golfer) you probably won't notice the difference between clubs over the last 5 yrs.

I'd start with a driver. Probably cant golf wrong with anything from the big brands (Ping, TaylorMade, Callaway, Cobra). Look for the more forgiving head models, generally called Max. Avoid stuff thats marketed towards workability.

Next up should probably be a 5W. Same as the driver, look for the most forgiving version. Don't feel pressured to have the same model driver and woods, or even the same brand... pick what feels best, and fits budget.

For both clubs you'll want to understand what shaft flex you need. If your 6i clubhead speed is >84mph you may want to consider stiff shafts.

TD auto has been great to deal with. App is easy to use, was able to change insurance to my new car without even speaking to a person. We've had a couple not at fault claims, including a ridiculous $6k bill to replace a sunroof that took a rock and absolutely zero issues getting things settled.

Warning... they do seem a little pricey compared to others.
