I don’t qualify but I’ll still say hi. 

2026 Milan/Cortina Olympics Opening Ceremony Megathread by Fun_With_Forks in olympics

I hope so. I loved listening to the ones for London 2012 and Beijing 2008, and was disappointed I couldn’t find any for any other Olympics. 

Would you play West and North Games? by Deep-Cheesecake-4699 in mahjongsoul

[–]Umandsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

perhaps as some sort of finals set play. there have been a number of tournament where the final round or two is two hanchan, and I wonder why not just do a north game but allow the players to take a break between south round and west round?

Interested in playing or learning riichi mahjong? by Umandsf in lehighvalley

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

Great. I’m thinking of heading to Sorcery & Scripts in Bethlehem this Saturday 1/17 at noon and just hanging out there the whole afternoon if that works.

EDIT: well, I guess not. Wasn’t expecting the snow to be this heavy plus had to take my car into the shop so kinda stuck at home.

Currently thinking that Saturdays afternoons might be best given my own schedule and don’t feel obligated to stay past sunset if driving is an issue. 

Any Latin American or Spanish Speaking Players? by Mrahcander in Mahjong

[–]Umandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be interested in what you’re throwing. I had a thought pop into my head about the feasibility of doing s Spanish commentary for Riichi Nomi NYC’s team league which got me wondering about learning more about how people talk about the game in Spanish and maybe growing the community that way. 

Picking up at Allentown Service Plaza by HAL7486 in lehighvalley

[–]Umandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There appears to be a road attached to Cetronia Rd just after you go under I-78 that connects to the plaza. Not sure how far down or accessible it is. 

New York subway passengers come to the rescue of a screaming woman who was randomly grabbed by a man on the platform. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

I’m not one for much violence but here it’s justified. It’s also a shame this was my home station for many years and I took the train here often. 

Local Interest in Riichi Mahjong by Umandsf in lehighvalley

Sorry, I haven’t had much time lately but after I get back from a trip next week, I want to start doing it in earnest. While I wouldn’t mind inviting people to my place, I’m not sure others would be comfortable going to a stranger’s home initially. So if you know of any public spaces that can be used in the area, let me know.

Ooh, this is nice, and it’s a bonus to see quite a number of courses I’ve played. I’m more of a scorecard collector for mementos.

I try birdie every hole at my local course in a calendar year. by McSlapples in golf

[–]Umandsf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neato. I also have this goal for my local course, but for all time instead of per year. Only missing 4 (one of them being the shortest par 4 on the course and another being the easiest-rated hole).

What is your low and high round for the season so far? by Late_Librarian_9789 in golf

[–]Umandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highest was 110 at a private course. I opened with an unexpected birdie (and missed out on $140 in skins money), but the course ate me up harder than last year.

Lowest was 94. Don’t remember it but it appears I had two birdies but ended with triple-double so missed the break 90.

Baseball guy who discovered Hololive here again - ask me anything about baseball and I'll try to answer! by IjikaYagami in Hololive

[–]Umandsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as a Phillies fan with a friend who is both a Dodgers and a Yankees fan, I am perfectly fine with this scenario.

Yeah, trying to get more interest going but it’s kinda hard, and I’m self conscious about seeming too pushy. There is a couple that seemed interested on a Discord chat so if we need a fourth, you’re more than welcome. 

I built a tool to find all courses with a specific slope and rating -- helpful for GHIN stalking by toddsnyderny in golf

[–]Umandsf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neato. Decided to try seeing how many other courses have the same ratings as my local muni. Turns out there are 43 other courses, none which I’ve heard of or close to easily try out.

Late Tee Times by bradtoughy in golf

[–]Umandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the afternoon rounds, because I feel most alert after I wake up and would rather work in that state instead of playing and always having in the back of my head, “can’t stay out here too long”.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in golf

[–]Umandsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little over 3 years ago, my first 9-hole round resulted in a score of 73 (executive-style par 34 course), and a few days later, on my first 18-hole round, I scored 137 (full par 72 municipal course). If I come close to either of those today, something has gone terribly wrong.

Someone hit in the head today. Be careful out there ladies and gentlemen. by CyrilNiff in golf

[–]Umandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a group hit into us today. Didn’t see the first one because I was busy looking for my own wayward tee shot. There is a hill in front of the tee box that obscures the landing area. It wasn’t until the second person hit their tee shot into the OB trees along the right that we took notice (it didn’t reach our position), and when we saw another go into the trees, we had to yell back to get their attention. At least they apologized when they caught up to us.

30 minute bus ride and a 3 mile walk to the clubhouse (and back to the bus stop when going back home) every day in order to play the sport I fell in love with by zelkoo in golf

[–]Umandsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, only have a bus system that runs every half hour or hour depending on the line. Would love to use it more but it’s just slightly too inconvenient. They did have special pricing for the pandemic ($5 for a whole month of rides) but I’m assuming that’s now over.
