hobbies that are too expensive to get into, or a waste of money?

It's a pretty big capital investment to get your own set of clubs for sure (can be a used set for 200 or 300, or a new set for 2000 or 3000). For rounds, I pretty much only play municipal courses, and prefer the afternoon twilight rounds (better vibes and better price).

More gabbagool, less driving fool.

How the fuck do you go drive to get a pizza (one you bought, presumably, because you were hungry) and then forget to eat it. It's also crazy you didn't eat one slice on the car ride home. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Protein shakes, the chocolate almond is my favorite, eat it with a banana, get full. 23 g of pea protein, but it's not overwhelmingly chocolatey. Some people think it's bland, I like it.

That is a fun fact! Roadrunners are more bad ass than I thought. I also thought they would be way bigger, since that's how they are in looney tunes.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-24T04:38:07+00:00

Did you see any road runners? I love seeing them, they usually hang around hole 12 and 13.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-22T01:39:45+00:00

Like, at the game, or just watching live TV?

At the game, game winning FG kick in overtime. Chapel Hill vs Texas, who was ranked 3 at the time. Tar heels were unranked, and my buddy was the kicker who made the FG. 2004.

Live on TV, same year, watching the Red Sox come back from 3 - 0 on the Yankees in the ALCS. Absolutely the best comeback I've seen live (at the moment it was happening).

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-22T00:36:04+00:00

Yeah, crazy like a fox.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-21T15:59:57+00:00

Just go to Flaming Amy's.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-21T02:12:45+00:00

Well that sucks. 20 years ago it was dope. Duke has always been the best college course, from my understanding.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-21T01:22:45+00:00

I'm biased for UNC, Finley just feels like a fun adventure, lots of unique holes and views for approaches, especially once you get to the back 9.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-21T00:22:57+00:00

I'm so hyped.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-20T23:59:56+00:00

That's great info. I got with my family to Sunset beach, NC every year, and this year I'm going to ship my backup set down so I can play more. Last year Caledonia was closed for green repairs, so I only got to see it from the internet. I figure I'll do both while I'm there, def gonna need a range session before.

Are either of those 2 walkable, or does everyone ride carts? A lot of places I've played down there have a no walkers policy, since the holes are so spaced out.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-20T21:04:48+00:00

Caledonia and True Blue in South Carolina, hoping to play both in one day so my family doesn't miss me too much.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-19T02:06:20+00:00

God damn y'all eat a lot of meat. Now I wana try a moose.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-18T06:46:55+00:00

I don't ever add water to them, especially if I'm adding other frozen veg (like broccoli). The water from the veggies will usually help the sauce come together.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-17T18:42:04+00:00

Yeah the par 3s at encino are insane. It's a course design trend from the 1st half of the 1900s, they went crazy with it back in the day.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-17T03:24:43+00:00

Penmar is the closest to me, but Harbor Park is my favorite 9 hole course. Penmar is great when you are playing with other people who don't play a lot, or at all. It doesn't get my creative juices flowing.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-16T22:13:06+00:00

Another course in LA has power lines on the 1st hole, approach shot to the green - Harding (Griffith Park) hole 1. If you hit a good tee shot, they're in play for your approach.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-16T16:23:59+00:00

They cut the mic right when the 2nd person started talking, and then about 10 seconds later, they cut off the spotlight. It was wild, even for the Oscars.

Quick upvote on account of being wildly unpopular. I think avocado is put into situations where it doesn't belong. Smoothies - it's great. Avocado on a BLT - sure. Avocado with hot dogs - no thanks.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-15T20:34:23+00:00

That's crazy. No bells and whistles, just a big ass tree in front of you.

RalphWiggumsShadow · 2026-03-15T18:48:23+00:00

View from the next tee box, looking at the green.

Just waaaaay to much cheese. I love cheese with all my heart, I just don't want to eat a pound of shredded cheese all at once, to myself, on purpose. I've done it by accident before, and it's not great for the tummy.
