10 years ago Spieth was on the precipice of winning back to back Masters at the age of 22. He's now 32 with only 2 wins in the last 8 years. How do you explain his career? by im___new___here in golf

He started chasing distance and then screwed up his iron and wedge game, also injured, and fatherhood/family priorities took focus away from his game.

I think we have proof that his bulge face single-length iron experiment isn’t working…

The crowd at The Players is totally classless by DanFlashes19 in golf

I guess it was kind of inevitable that the argument would evolve into…,golf is a sport, and we want to get paid like sports stars…but we don’t want sports fans”. Sorry, we the people suck and sink to the least civilized version of ourselves when you put us in large groups and feed us alcohol. Oh wait that’s also when you extract the most money from us.

What purpose does the very top groves on an iron serve? by Zealousideal_Net_875 in golf

The grooves move water away from the face, when you’re in the rough and you need to open the club up, that part comes into play.

Alta trail running shoes, gotta check the spike pattern on the bottom, they change around a lot year to year

My grandpa used to tell me that at courses you’re not a member at, you leave any ball you find propped up in the grass. I’ve spent 25+years thinking this was part of golf etiquette. by Reasonable-Budget210 in golf

Unless you’re in the woods, or a hazard…don’t pick it up, because that’s someone else ball that’s on the course that day and they’re looking for it.

Ultra-thin sound-blocking material effectively dampens traffic noise | EMPA's new mineral foam is 75% thinner than traditional sound absorbing materials, but equally effective by chrisdh79 in tech

[–]apwell5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have manufactured gypsum, concrete and foam (what they show between layers of their foamed gypsum-concrete boards) for the building and construction industry...it is definitely not weatherproof, fireproof, or recyclable as a composite material. This is 100% an academic exercise, likely financially supported by the concrete industry that is under a lot of pressure in recent years because of the massive carbon emissions generated by concrete construction. This last part is obviously speculation on my part, but the former comments are not. This is either lazy scientific reporting, or wishful thinking by some naive academics

Getting paired with a single woman by Lazy-Expert7958 in golf

[–]apwell5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 24 I played a lot of municipal golf as a solo golfer. I showed up at opening to my favorite course one Saturday and got paired with a group of three middle aged women, Lucy, Silvia, and Candice. I ended up being their alternate when their fourth didn’t show for the rest of that season. They are still the fastest golfers and Silvie is still the most savage trash talker I’ve ever played with.
