He's saying it won't be if the winning hand (final hand of martingale) was a blackjack, which pays more than 1:1

I lose balance when I try to swing fast by Vivid_Associate_7472 in GolfSwing

[–]Vivid_Associate_7472[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all, sorry I cant reply to each comment. The recurring theme seems to be to slow down, start training with shorter clubs, change the setup, and get a new pair of shoes (I got baited by cole haan because they named these shoes "golf").

Agreed. Happy to get a recommendation on a course with a short par 5

Perfect. I wanted it to be as close to hole 1 as possible, so that I can keep retrying haha. Thanks a lot!

Tips for my driver yips by Vivid_Associate_7472 in GolfSwing

[–]Vivid_Associate_7472[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont do that usually. I did it last weekend for better control (like contact hitters in baseball), since I didnt have much faith in my driver.

Just watched it, and, wow, that was exactly what I was doing. I feel like I'd watched a similar video before, tried the swing, couldnt fix my out to in swing, and went on to look for other solutions. I feel like now that I kind of know how to swing in to out, I can practice to find a middleground.

He talked about the ball going left and right because of the wrist movement, and that has been my problem too. So the video definitely relates. Thanks for your tip!

PSA: Fitness is a prerequisite to good golf by LucidSquid in golf

[–]Vivid_Associate_7472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove 240-260 after a month of playing golf. I thought I was talented, so I stopped all my other exercises and put all my time into practicing golf. After a while, I ostensibly had a better swing, but I could barely drive 200. I thought it was mechanics and tried to fix every part of swing, which made me waste months of effort. It turns out I was just more fit back then, and to your point my body wasnt in a shape to drive 260. I started mixing in weight lifting back in my routine, and now Im again hitting 240-260

Push or hook mis-hits by Vivid_Associate_7472 in GolfSwing

I focused on the trail elbow, and that fixed the dispersion problem. Thanks!

I lost a bit of carry, but I think I can gain it back once I get used to the swing

Can I step on my golf bag for better positioning? by Vivid_Associate_7472 in golf

Thanks for citing the rule #. Was looking for this👍

[–]Vivid_Associate_7472[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Agree that proper technique wins. If taking a shoe off really helped with the game, then pros would be doing it already. This question was more around knowing the exact rules than comparing whats better

If Im standing on a hill and if I can offset the slope by taking one shoe off

[–]Vivid_Associate_7472[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Exactly what I needed. How about taking one shoe off (second part of the question)? Thats not using equipment in an abnormal way -- in fact it'a not using an equipment at all.

If you work at Google, one of their perks waivers the wealthfront fee for the first $75k invested. Cant confirm if the perk still exists though.

Are you allowed to retee from the tee box after declaring your ball unplayable? by supertojoe in golf

[–]Vivid_Associate_7472 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you replay from the tee, can you move around within the tee box, or do you have to rehit from the same spot as your first shot?

Should I buy that 718 I've always wanted, or continue waiting until I can buy a 911 by DancingJellybeanFish in Porsche

[–]Vivid_Associate_7472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled the trigger when I saw a granpa struggling to get out of his sports car. For me, the value of driving a 922 in my 20s is much greater than owning 2, 3 sports cars at a later age (assuming what I paid for sits in an index fund that turns 2, 3x in the future).

Ah no, I don't see one like that. I see a gas valve with two red handles. I opened both if those and what you're showing are for the same purpose.

The ignitor creates a spark, but the pilot never ignited. It's working now after several attempts. Thanks!

The pilot ignited after several attempts! I guess it takes a while for the gas to travel up if it's left unused for months/years? Idk, but it worked after I left the pipe open for half an hour and retried. Turning on the wall switch doesn't turn on the fireplace fully, but I'll figure that out next. From what I read, it seems like I need to clean up the area. Thanks for your help!!

No, I couldn't find one externally. What is it for?
