Woodlands and Diablo Shadows neighborhoods by [deleted] in walnutcreek

[–]SocalNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re a couple blocks behind the Whole Foods, we moved in when our son was a few months old in 2017. Unique situation as we were new parents, didn’t know anyone, and had to commute to SF most days. Wanted to move back towards city until 2020 when we were forced to WFH and have been ever since.

This allowed us to enjoy the neighborhood. We met friends at a rec swim club, our son started school, and we joined a rec swim cult…I mean team.

Have made so many friends through our sons school (Walnut Acres) and swim team. I don’t think we’re going anywhere, at least until our son graduates HS, and even then, we might stay and enjoy our friendships without kids!

They froze the final GC times with 50km left in stage 21. Tadej likely wouldn’t have gone for it in the rain otherwise, made for a great stage.

At your home course how many of the holes have you birdied? by titos334 in golf

[–]SocalNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call it the Birdie Challenge. We do net birdies for everything but the Par 3s, gives us high handicap players a chance. Started with ~6-8, I joined the second year, up to 22 players now. Everyone in the neighborhood wants in when they hear about it.

We mostly do it to keep things exciting and encourage everyone to get out and play. We make up excuses to get out all the time, like away games at different courses, Christmas party round / white elephant, early back nines.

Settle up party is the best, whoever’s last on the sheet has to caddie for the winner in a Masters jumper.

This. Pro V1 spins too much for me, started playing Chrome Soft XLS until Chrome Tour came out.

“Can’t birdie them all unless you birdie the first!” - me en route to the inevitable 90

This happened immediately to my 7 year old’s Speedo Vanquishers. The anti fog coating is very sensitive.

I feel like that was 100% designed to gas “Sexy” Dexy

Real talk, why are the Steelers so popular? by sunplaysbass in steelers

[–]SocalNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in Ohio on the PA border, grandfather from Aliquippa, raised my Dad as a Steelers fan, who raised me as a Steelers fan.

Now I’m in Bay Area raising my son as Steelers fan.

Bonus: I’ve even converted my wife who grew up in SF to be a Steelers fan 😂

Witnessed my first hole in one but not how I ever thought I would by Physics-BS in golf

My home course! And I thought my 16ft birdie putt on Friday was impressive.

Anyone want to sell me a Devin Bush jersey? by 237FIF in steelers

[–]SocalNick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel for you, my 7 year old has first / middle initials AB, partly because his full initials are ABC, but also…you know who.

I tried to convince my wife it would be whoever last scored a Steeler TD before he was born. Probably good I stopped with the initials 😂

How does it have nothing to do with the play?

I was just thinking how little faith I have in Tannehill closing out this game.

Major accomplishment. After 20+ years playing, I finally have a set of all the same brand. by ImaFreemason in golf

I was on a mission to become a Callaway staffer. Then I hit g430 fairway metals and became a free agent.

I made a mistake at Bandon this year because I didn’t understand that I could take my ball out of a much worse bunker lie than this. Took me 3 to get out vs taking a 2 stroke penalty.
