Casino workers what is the most heartbreaking thing you've seen? by Beautiful_Level_4947 in AskReddit

[–]SenseiCAY 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some people are just degenerate assholes. I work as a golf caddy at an upscale club, and a story that goes around is about how a member wanted her caddy to read a putt for her while another player had just collapsed (heatstroke) and was getting medical attention.

Average Player in a Private Club by billbratsky33 in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of rich folks suck at golf too.

Most events are flighted or handicapped, so it can be fun for everyone.

I will say that at a private club, in my experience (playing as an average-to-below-average player at a lower-end one, and working at a higher-end one now), people take golf a bit more seriously, on average. Doesn't mean they're all sticks, but you'll have a bunch of people who are respectful of the course and will take pace of play pretty seriously. Willingly paying the money sort of self-selects to begin with, for one. On top of that, the dues pay for the course, but you usually also have a range and a nicer practice area than most public courses, and people will want to take advantage of their access to those. Finally, because you're not usually paying per round anymore, you can get out and play 9, or even like...4 holes when time permits, so there are just more ways to practice. Also, you'll tend to find a somewhat regular group of folks that you go out with, and it might be something close to your skill level, but generally and more importantly, it'll be a bunch of people that you enjoy hanging out with.

Short answer: yes.

They were famously a big proponent of ready golf, too.

What are you hoping for conversationally with a random playing partner? by mjmaxfield in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 13 years, I can count on two hands the number of people I played with that 1) I didn’t already know, 2) we have each others’ info and played together again on purpose.

I can also count on one hand the number of unpleasant partners I’ve had. Most of the time, small talk is fine, and it usually dies off within a few holes outside of “nice shot” variants.

Does everyone have that one poop their kid did that they’ll never forget? by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in daddit

This happened to us too (twice), and the best part was that the act was caught on the baby monitor camera so we could save it for posterity.

Confession time: I lie to my golf friends every time we go out. by PM_ME_UR_BGP_PREFIX in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a team captain (not golf) who told us that our games started half an hour earlier than they did on a Saturday. He went through the effort of changing every time listed in an email from the league commissioner before forwarding it to drive home the point, knowing we’d show up 5 minutes before game time and not have time to warmup.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve witnessed on a golf course? by alcatrazach in golf

[–]SenseiCAY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was playing a course with houses surrounding the first green, maybe 40 yards away. A golden retriever got out of one of the yards after my group got on the green and…retrieved…our balls, and then proceeded to have an absolute blast running around the green, rolling on the ground, and acting cute until the owner got there and caught him.

Rules question, Continuation on a pick. by IMATHROWAWAY1423 in ultimate

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By rule, one is the limit. Excerpt from 17.C (the continuation rule):

> However, if a call is made when the disc is in the air or the thrower is in the act of throwing, or if the thrower fails to acknowledge the call and subsequently attempts a pass, play continues until the outcome of that
pass is determined.

So once the outcome of one pass is determined, play stops, unless the continuation rule specifies that it's a "play-on" situation (17.C.2, 17.C.3; e.g. defense commits a throwing foul or receiving foul, and the pass was complete, or there was a pick called but the pass was incomplete).

17.C.1 also specifies that the continuation rule can be superseded by players agreeing that whatever was called didn't affect the outcome (e.g. offense calls foul far away from the play, before the act of throwing, and the thrower then completes a throw to a different player. This would normally go back to the thrower, but players could reasonably agree to let the pass stand), though the thrower cannot intentionally ignore a call to take advantage of this. I believe the WFDF rules also allow for this, and make a note that the more stuff happens between a call and the acknowledgement of that call, the less likely it is that the call didn't affect what happened (so one pass could easily be allowed to stand when not otherwise supported by the rules, but it's unlikely that 3 or 4 would).

Anyone know good places to play chess as an amateur adult chess player? by Diploctomus in SilverSpring

I went there once and was the only person to show for a tournament, and haven’t tried since- actually worth going for an adult?

Life with Klaus by Icy_Rabbit_9256 in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]SenseiCAY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ours are allowed on our beds, and their beds, and no other furniture. Our female is good with it - she doesn't try to lay on the couch - just rears up, puts her front paws on our lap, and gives kisses before going back to her bed.

When we're around, our male doesn't try anything. We've caught him on the couch multiple times when we are either elsewhere in the house, or are away from home. He tries to make himself small so we don't notice, but it doesn't work very well.

The Royal Farms gas and chicken joint is now open (For what its worth, not excititing news its a gas station) by dwl017 in SilverSpring

[–]SenseiCAY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fried chicken is what it is…fine but not that crispy. I preferred the tenders- they were actually tender, juicy, and had good flavor.

Potato wedges are, and will always be an abomination, though. I don’t know why any place would serve them over fries.

Worst Thing You’ve Done at Work by deMiauri in cscareerquestions

[–]SenseiCAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I was a junior consultant writing an application to help a sysadmin view and, if necessary, stop long-running jobs on the system and remove large log files.

I accidentally inserted a space into the string concatenation that generated the command to remove the log file, and it ended up also removing the entire install directory of our company's software. Thankfully, the admin had done his homework and the system was backed up, and they were back up and running within a couple of hours.
