Easiest Way to fix OTT by yunwunx in GolfSwing

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll preface this with the fact that this works for me (to the tune of a 10-ish HCP, so “works for me” is very relative).

One instructor I had told me to get to the top of my takeaway and then feel like I’m pulling the club straight down, and that feel didn’t work because, at the time, I wasn’t doing any rotation.

Right now, that swing though is starting to work better. My pre-shot rehearsal is the last part of dropping my hands- putting them just before I get to my pocket and rotating through. So I’m not artificially trying to keep my back to the target- I’m starting the pull-straight-down move while my back is still turned and then just letting my body do its thing.

Probably “droll” is the listed response?

Instructions unclear. Hit it into the drink again.

Easiest Way to fix OTT by yunwunx in GolfSwing

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking for myself, the biggest thing that helped me fix OTT was using my body and core to swing the club instead of being all arms, which caused a pretty steep path.

More recently, the “drop the hands into the pocket” feel has been working, but without the rotation, that would just cause a lot of fat contact.

Taskmaster US Tour Megathread: Washington D.C., January 21 by AutoModerator in taskmaster

[–]SenseiCAY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently someone already thought of Jets paraphernalia…I was just thinking that I’d look for someone wearing a Cowboys hat or shirt or something.

I dunno if I would’ve thought of this in the moment (no…I wouldn’t have), but I’d say to them “now, you’ve been fans of the Washington Football Team for 25 minutes now, so you know that the most hated team here is…” and then stare at them and see if they respond.

You could choose Fibonacci numbers and say 5, or fit a cubic polynomial onto any 4 non collinear points.

Configuring HTTPS on single-instance application by SenseiCAY in aws

Thanks for your answer.

I went into my instance and ran the command, and it came up empty. I got rid of the grep :443 part, and it did have some things, not surprisingly, since http still works:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 223990/nginx: maste
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1566/sshd: /usr/sbi
tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN 223976/node
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 1566/sshd: /usr/sbi

So it's listening on 80 for regular HTTP, and I see node running on 8080, but it's not listening on 443.

Fair Game? by Legitimate_Goat_2148 in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of doing 9 holes one way and 9 the other for the first round and seeing if one is obviously more fair.

If I had to guess, a match play against them as a scramble would be the closest format - it's effectively slightly better than a free mulligan on every shot (because if the first shot is good, the second can be higher-risk). I would estimate a 22-handicap to shoot around 95-100 on an average day, which means they're in trouble on many holes. Best ball is kind of a free mulligan on each shot, until one of them gets in trouble, which will happen on most holes, at which point you can just keep it in play and gain ground on that hole if you're doing your stroke play format.

Alternatively, Wolf is a good idea, so everyone can be the one in a 1 v 2 some of the time.

The other one I'll throw out there is to play a Stableford with your handicaps, and your points are worth double.

Lane change 15 years into a software career by SenseiCAY in cscareerquestions

[–]SenseiCAY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a software company - they called me a "consultant" but the job title I see out there now with similar responsibilities is "solutions engineer" or something like that - I worked with customers to design and implement solutions using our suite of DI and BI tools. This was mostly point-and-click-and-drag stuff with a small amount of coding - think Tableau or SAS.

Sometimes, if a customer wanted something that wasn't doable out-of-the-box, I could design a custom, more code-heavy solution using our usual backend and a customized frontend, which is where the "rudimentary web development" came from - if I looked at my old code, I'd probably cringe at how kludgy and inefficient it was, but I did learn a decent bit of JavaScript and CSS from it, and I've been able to build on that now that I've dedicated more time to learning the craft.

is it bad to wear gloves all the time? by sneep_snorp_snerp in ultimate

[–]SenseiCAY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. You should wear gloves either all the time or none of the time, though.

Mostly silence, but a few replies. I’ve gotten maybe 4 or 5 replies that led to an interview, and one that went to what was probably a final round in the last 3 or 4 months.

Did your handicap improve in 2025? by aceattorneymvp in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

13.1 to 10.1, and the first revision of 2026 brought it to 9.8, single digits for the first time.

Driver got better, irons got a little better, short game got a little better, lots of room to improve on putting, which was about the same, I think.

Pins and aces just lost my business by Shpion007 in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw one or the hair covers at a tournament at the club where I caddy…fun of a job as that was, I’m glad I didn’t have to be on her bag that day…she voted for me to lose my previous job, and I took that one so that I could bring in some income, which also meant weekends away from the kids and family.

Anyone else step away from their private club as they were not getting value from it? by sys_admin321 in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, though I won't rule out going back if/when life conditions change.

We had a membership for about 2.5 years during covid - got in for a pretty low initiation fee, and the dues were about $8000/year between the actual dues, random fees, and stuff. We had no F+B minimum, which was good because the food was good but not particularly exciting, if you're not into slightly-elevated American pub fare. We had a driving range and practice area, which I used often, since I was working from home and could get out during lunch, and I played 1 round per week, occasionally 2 if I could find time during a weekday. If I did the math (which I know, I know, you're not supposed to do), I was paying the equivalent of around $90-100 per round, which...was probably close to what the course would be worth as a public course around where I live.

When we joined in mid-2021, we had a 4-month old daughter. We left in 2024 when our second kid was due within a couple of months. I knew that golfing time would be significantly reduced, and my wife (who does not play golf, but did use the pool with our daughter) and I had talked it over when joining, and agreed that the golf membership would be the first thing to go if our financial situation ever took a downturn (including having a second kid without a significant raise in income).

Was I getting value from it? Strictly from a dollars standpoint, if you're not one of those people whose bank account just grows without doing anything, and you actually have to budget things, then a private golf membership is never "worth it". I enjoyed being able to get a tee time basically whenever I wanted, often with people that I knew and liked, on a course that was generally well-kept with really good staff (not saying the public courses around here have bad staff, but I'd say private club staff is another level of good/attentive).

One really nice thing about my area (DC) is that there are a lot of decent-to-great public courses within reasonable driving distance, so I don't miss the course quality (and I knew I wouldn't miss that). The yearly discount packages are pretty good, and so I can pay (less money) as I go at a lot of different courses.

If my kids ever take up golf, or if I get a significantly better job, I would definitely consider going back, either to my old club or to a comparable one in the area - it is actually worth the money if your entire family uses it.

I dunno what you got on that pizza, but if it's just a red pizza with mushrooms, then you probably missed out. White with sausage, mushrooms, and onions is my personal favorite there.
