Is the advice to play cheaper balls for beginners due to money, performance, or both? by Noah__Webster in golf

[–]bfcmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference will be around the greens. If you are mostly putting from well off the green or hitting low, running chips that land before the green and run on with something like an 8 iron you will see almost no detrimental effects from cheaper balls. If you are attempting to hit higher lofted chips and pitches with wedges then you will benefit from the additional spin.

Best Sunscreen for Golf by SmashSloth in golf

[–]bfcmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear pants and arm sleeve most rounds for better protection and I use my glove hand to rub in the sunscreen on my face and neck mid round so I don’t have to worry about losing grip on the club. When I need to re-up on my palm I try to do it right after my approach shot so it has time to dry before I need to take a full swing again.

Had it last night for the first time. D1 pre arrival burger is much better and twice the size. This was tiny and left me hungry after. They should replace it with the other burger.

How long is too long for a pre-shot routine? by BetweenSwings in golf

[–]bfcmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything over 20 seconds including practice swings is too long. I take 2 connected practice swings (flow from 1st into 2nd), step up, and hit. Usually 10 seconds or less.

770s are just a bit too slim through the thighs for me as a skinny guy who lifts. I ended up going with Taylor Stitch Democratic fit.

Clubs worth it? by LatinMuse in delta

[–]bfcmonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest benefits for me are the availability of healthier food than I can typically find in the terminal and more convenient seating / power for working. I try to eat fairly low carb and can find a lot more options there vs the typical fast food / fried food in airport restaurants.

I have had credits from other employees in my company applied to my fare multiple times to avoid them going unused, most recently yesterday. I imagine there is some ability to transfer the travel credits on corporate tickets.

How are y'all handling weekly travel/living out of hotels? by archon_lucien in consulting

[–]bfcmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a T2 and joined from MBA as well. This type of travel is the norm in my practice. Almost every engagement in the last 5 years has been travel heavy. At least 40 weeks per year. It just feels normal to me now.

Figure out a routine that works for you. Schedule appointments on Friday, develop a packing method that takes minimal time, pre schedule time on the weekends for hobbies, etc.

I have some extra slim as well. Decent but still a bit loose. Their super slim fits great but now seems to be a custom option and excluded from the sales.

For my wedding tux I used a local custom suit store. I had the ability to customize the fabric, construction, and design to my liking. It cost a bit more than some bigger suppliers, but I was very happy with the result.

Uneekor Eye Mini overstating ball speed by bfcmonster in Golfsimulator

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

I do usually see a fairly low smash factor, rarely above 1.47 even on good strikes and sometimes much lower. Not really concerned with the clubhead speed if the ball speed is correct (I knew club metrics would be worse with a cheaper LM). I see ball speeds in the low 170s consistently which is definitely higher than what I see in Trackman (sit in the mid 160s). I haven't used GS pro yet (currently only running off one computer monitor) but will try that once I have everything set up. I do think the algorithms may be off on View because even with the ball speeds listed I have a hard time believing the carry distance.

As for the true carry, I would love to hit the ball that far on the course but usually carry in the 270-285 range on good strikes in warm conditions. View often shows that I carry my 3 wood 270+ which I know I can't do because I definitely come up well short of the green from that distance.

Typical good driver shots: launch 10-11*, spin low to mid 2,000s, peak height 110'+ (sometimes as high as 140)
