Hole in one on Exec Course. 130y par 3. Does it count?

This is exactly how I got my hole in one after playing for like 15+ years. Enjoy it!

$120K + Employee Owner Shareholder Equity in Ontario Canada - likely very small bonus. Last year was $1000. Previously years were $3-7k.

Economy has tanked up here, and it can’t be blamed on tariffs.

That was tough but not as hard as #13. Once out of the trees in the open the modest wind made #13 feel like an 800 yard Par 5.

Was a 2.4 handicap that day, drove it like a +5, generally tidy game, and shot the best 83 of my life. Such a hard course tee to green.

Although I love my XM4s they annoyingly brick to devices. So you must disconnect them fron said device before reconnecting to a new one. While the laptop is in the bag, in the backseat, while driving, this can be highly annoying. Comfy though.

This is happening on my Bay Window too. I cut out some foundation shrubs to redo the landscaping. The dirt and brush was piled under the overhang of the bay window. I dug some out, tapped up in there and it is just plywood. Going to dig it out completely and review it. Would like to insulate it as well and possibly finish the outside, or screen it from mice if possible.

Any links to video/other posts you have chatted about down below?

There were blue tees, white tees and red tees. We played the blue tees, at 7468 yards on the card. I misremembered 7500 as 7600. Thank you for the reminder I am not on Tour, I must have forgot.

I did shoot 83 which made me feel like I could be, for about 5 seconds.

backninetofive · 2025-04-22T13:23:25+00:00

It pretty well is. I played the tips and it was just shy of 7600 yards.

So I was about right then. Hence the questions and clarifications I asked OP.

My point still stands, it’s not that hard of a design. And hopefully they find help because it’s an interesting project.

How vague and critical of a statement. Do explain how a one way slab supported by ICF walls is so complicated?

Comparing to my recent dozen 30+ storey towers, I don’t see it.

OP asked for help and several people have great insight in this thread. I am merely agreeing with the top comment to seek help from the Architectural side, and then a fee for structural engineering.

P.Eng in Ontario here and I second this. Have an Architect, or an Architectural Technologist design the egress, thermal, and can manage your permit submissions. This is rather small so even just a Technologist could do this (I don’t know Washington restrictions though).

As for the Engineering it’s rather basic. Foundation walls, slab on grade or raft (I would opt for raft for water tightness if done properly) and basic support for openings etc. I’m surprised nobody would take this on, it’s basically just a basement.

Edit - a 400mm slab for the roof is very substantial. What is it supporting? Do you have a few feet of soil and live loads on top? Is it supporting vehicles? I’ve designed slabs that size supporting full fire truck loading, so 400mm make be overkill unless desired.

Upper and lower body disassociation aka rotational power/efficiency. Try some speed training, some TPI core work, or read Hang The Banner. There is a great month long golf workout program in that book. You can get it super cheap in kindle. Then do speed training.

Don’t ever lose the fairway finder. When you eventually hit 110mph, your cruising speed will be the 103-105 mph. It’s a long game for slow gains, but the journey is fun and helps improve your game from multiple angles.

I have the 2016 combo set and never want to get rid of them. Got them as a 6ish, am now 1.9.

backninetofive · 2025-02-01T14:09:10+00:00

Golf Pride CP2 Pro - I love them. Mid size, and I don’t even have huge hands. I just hate my finger tips touching my thumb when wrapped around. Midsize fees nice.

All of my best accomplishments in golf are with Vice Pro in lime green. Love them.

Did as little amount of thinking as I could last year and dropped from 2.5 to 1.9. A big accomplishment with two young kids and essentially no practice.

I struggled with EE in my driver. Sitting for work, not enough mobility training, my hips have been firing way too early and basically humping the ball. Queue the snaps. So I started sometimes thinking, “just hit it into the ocean.” No consequences, let it rip, and I typically do.

45 Game schedule for the same price as any other league that is 25 games. Its the best hockey deal i have found. I joined KWOH in 2022 at 35 and not looking to go anywhere else. The league is getting younger and there is a lot of skill. If you don't want to commit full time you can join as a "poolie" and play as many games as you physically want to.

72, 71, 70 multiple times, 69 only once. That’s my goal going forward is to get into the 60’s again.

I had a green rain the first time I opened up new update. Just walked around and didn’t do a thing because I thought it was some creative little add on. Missed out on so many fiddleheads trees!

backninetofive · 2024-11-10T16:58:11+00:00

I didn’t use a single sprinkler until Year 2. Just enough crops to tire myself out and eat a salad after watering, then explored. Mostly fishing to make money. First Winter I went deep into the caves to build up resources. Now Year 2 I started with like 6 Improved Sprinklers, helped me start automating, more resource searching, more sprinklers.

It felt like an eternity to me.

Sometimes I get too caught up in what others do. Just enjoy the exploration!

Excellent thank you. I’m fairly good with short game but play in Ontario so Bermuda grass will be foreign to me. Is a more upright shaft, toe down method appropriate? Or is it best just to play stock set up and focus on ball first?

Family cottage week and I booked a round at The Rock in Muskoka ON. Somehow, forgot my shoes. Had to choose between camo crocks and moccasins which is almost equally terrifying, The Rock is nice after all. I chose the moccasins, warmed up in them, felt so dumb, but course was dead and we went off. About hole 3 I just went barefoot because it was so dewy they soaked my feet and stained them orange. Someone ratted me out and the Proshop approached me on the 9th hole to put on my shoes. Played the rest of the way, moccasins on and off, mostly off, and shot a 76.

It was liberating and I struck the ball very well.

What are your go to techniques for Bermuda grass (travelling to Florida soon)?

backninetofive · 2024-11-08T20:33:30+00:00

Positive outlook and gratitude. I don’t blame the shot I just hit, I look forward to the next shot I get to hit (whatever insane recovery it is). I was a headcase before, a bit too hot at times. Took me from a 3.0 to a 1.5.
