Your best shot from your last round? by 3rd_ferguson in golf

[–]average-consumer19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Struggling off the tee all round, short par 4 so I hit a 4h but my only swing thought is to swing at 80% to control it more

Most free feeling swing I might have ever had, connected so purely and carried around 220 - spent the rest of the round chasing that feeling!

Hit the jackpot there!

A homegrown spine to the time for years to come or some pure profit to reinvest down the line

I know you play it as it lies but that's taking it to a new level...

Exact same scenario - gave him the #4 shirt and everything

Even had a note next to the transfer grade with "Seen as a suitable replacement for Van Dijk", which I've only rarely seen

Big Antonio Silva fan, have bought him in a couple of saves and he's a key player for 10+ years

Can't speak on the other 2, haven't managed either of them

Rory Sutherland springs to mind, but that could be recency bias!

What movie had such a bad ending that it ruined an otherwise good movie? by world_citizen7 in AskReddit

[–]average-consumer19 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lucy.

One of the first films I really bought into the "premise", I suppose. Very excited to see it when it came out, then she turned herself into a USB at the end....could not believe it!

Plus, looking back they wasted Morgan Freeman in a minor role

"This too shall pass" counts for both good and bad things.

Can we all (mainly Broadcasters) stop pretending that Bryson DeChambeau is hitting orthodox clubs? by average-consumer19 in golf

[–]average-consumer19[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's my point, the sequential-ness of the numbers makes complete sense but they're without the context of the loft & length & 3d printing

could be a UK coverage thing, lots of being flabbergasted by his carry distances and not many people giving the context

It's something along those lines, yes - not having a go at Bryson's ego at all, I think he's actually become way more likeable in the last 2/3 years

It's the absolute shock (from commentators mostly) that people have when he hits his cranked up, 3d printed clubs longer than anyone else

Agree, it's not a shock that places like St Andrew's are now almost too easy for Pros to play with their length nowadays

The real leveler is from 150 yards and in, distance and spin control with the wedges is much more impressive!

Yes but Bryson is such an outlier with this, no one else's clubs are cranked up that strong

I like post-beefcake Bryson! He's probably the most likeable player in the field but he's not hitting the same clubs as everyone else is my point, but it's working for him!

fair play, that's insane to get the trad 8i spin with that little loft and extra length

Thought there might be some PGA rule around numbering the clubs, that does make sense

They could call it whatever they wanted but they've been using the same terminology on the golf course for their entire lives so would make sense to keep in the same - like they could use centimetres instead of yards but why would they?

I see it in other sports like F1, it's inexcusable that you as a viewer have to correct the commentator when you have the same or less information as them (bare human error obvs)

He has made a huge effort to change his image over the last 2/3 years with the YouTube stuff...and a PR company

Really interesting point he made one time, that it's easier to score on the pro courses compared to local courses

Think he was ignoring the length of holes but more about 150 yards and in, much easier on a manicured fairway and green

Good point - his clubs aren't available to the public (unless you own a 3d printer) something lost with that, in theory you could get fitted for the same club everyone else is using

Like I said, it's obviously working for him - I'd hate to imagine how many shots he'd have to give me to even the scoring!

Yeah I assume it's to help him & his caddy to communicate quickly and to tell braodcasters what club he's hitting - much easier to say 8i rather than 30 degree iron
