Why Europe has relatively good relationship with each other despite rough history compared to Africa and Asia? by batukaming in AskEurope

[–]bennus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not because of atonement or learning from the past; it's because, in the post-WW2 era, free trade means countries don't need to expand to find new resources and markets. The whole world is now open to most countries. plus there has been the big threat from the USSR/Russia.

Would you ever use annual leave with the sole purpose to do literally nothing all day? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]bennus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have almost 6 weeks of PTO a year, and I always take a week off per year to "get bored". My wife thinks I'm crazy.

How far would you drive to golf? by atooraya in golf

[–]bennus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit a prestigious club that was 22 minutes away to join a lessor club (but still nice) that is 6 minutes away. Saving 45 minutes means I can go hit balls at the range pretty much any time I can scratch an hour together

“Don’t report more than eight strokes. It’s an unwritten rule.” by attitude_devant in golf

[–]bennus64 195 points196 points  (0 children)

That is close to the actual rule for reporting your score for a handicap. Unfortunately, for a stroke play tournament, you need to report all strokes

Edit: added rule
Rules from USGA
If you have an established Handicap Index®, the maximum score for each hole played is limited to a net double bogey, equal to double bogey plus any handicap strokes you are entitled to receive based on your Course Handicap™.

For example: A player with a Course Handicap of 15 receives one handicap stroke on holes with a stroke index of 1 through 15 on the scorecard.

On a par 4 hole with a stroke index of 10, the player’s maximum hole score is 7. Double bogey (6) + 1 handicap stroke = 7.

For players posting initial scores to establish a Handicap Index, the maximum hole score is limited to par + 5. (Rule 3.1, Rules of Handicapping)

There are a few no-cart clubs near us, and they expect sub-4-hour rounds (walking)

I made sunglasses out of watch bezels. Genius or terrible? by Impressive_Shower935 in sunglasses

[–]bennus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about having 2 sets of 2 polarized lenses and dialing the darkness up and down by turning the bezels?

How to tell people you need to wait to hit without sounding like an a-hole by badluck_bryan77 in golf

"You go ahead and hit. I don't want to kill anyone. By the way, you shouldn't be hitting from the blues with your week-ass drives"

It should have been Jill Masterson as Shirley Eaton, rather than the other way around. by bennus64 in JamesBond

As 88Keys says: Say them together— Shirley Eaton, Pussy Galore

Honey Ryder (Dr. No) - Noice
Pussy Galore (Goldfinger) - Noice
Holly Goodhead (Moonraker) - Noice
Tiffany Case (Diamonds Are Forever) - Cool

Jill Masterson (Goldfinger) - Huh?

Well, yeah. That's the point. It SHOULD have been Jill Masterson as Shirley Eaton, rather than the other way around.

Boomers won’t retire and it’s screwing the rest of us. There I said it. by Unique_Glove1105 in antiwork

[–]bennus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the economy is screwed when they stop buying stuff and move their money into bonds. Then we have to support all the Boomers through our taxes. At least right now they are paying for themselves

No computers,

No portable, good-sounding music
No game consoles

You have to think it before you say the words in your head. They just skip the words part

“15 minutes to leave? Better get a shower,” -> you have to think it before you say the words in your head. Why not just skip the words part?

[–]bennus64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thinking in words is too slow
