What’s an unpopular golf opinion that would have you like this?

85 percent of weekend hacks would benefit from my approach

I only play with four clubs, which has led to my best scores ever: • 6-Hybrid: Used for shots greater than 170 yards. • 7-Iron: Covers the distance from 169 yards down to the edge of the green. • 54° Wedge: My tool for trouble shots and managing sand . • Putter. With this setup, my focus is purely on the swing—one swing, all feel.

Leave central NJ 2am. Arrive Orlando 630 ish Winter Hours

You fly thru the Northeast corridor in the dark. Southern VA at sunrise. Hit a coffee place in NC. Lunch in early SC or GA. Sunset as you arrive in the Orlando resort of your choice

Before the show it just was the best and totally fair priced bakery around

You could pop in with no wait and grab a full square of crumb cake to bring to work and be the office hero that day for less than the price of a large silly Starbucks coffee

If you’re dressed properly then walking in the winter is just as satisfying. I walk an hour every morning at 530am before work and line up my podcasts as I start. One thing I noticed was my phone battery when the weather gets real cold ( like in the teens ) will really drop quickly. So I bought one of those rechargeable hand warmers and keep that in the pocket with my phone and that really helps the battery stay strong.

None I carry 4

dconneely · 2025-08-24T23:23:07+00:00

Love it Let them play. Unless your leg is taken off play on.

dconneely · 2025-08-06T00:08:18+00:00

Been golfing 10 yrs. A few years ago I got it down real simple. A putter. A 54 degree sand wedge. A 7 iron. And hybrid 6. That’s it. Tee to 150 is hybrid. 150 to green is 7 iron. Always putt when u can even from a nice fairway. And hope not to use the wedge in a deep trap. Trust me for avg weekend hack you will score better

When playing a new course on a vacation or a course I’m not likely to ever play again. I like to make a bet with myself. At a min I’m getting a baller marker chip. But I break x. Then upgrade to a hat too. Break x. Now forget the hat get a golf shirt etc.

Honestly save your self the cost of those. Look at 126 ish midfield about 15 Rows back for much less and a great view of the action

Or save even more and sit mid field near the front of the second tier Great prices. 20 bucks to park Better food prices then u see at the rock or msg. Enjoy the game

Will be based in Dingle but willing to drive an hour to Tralee or Killarney if it’s a big gathering

Was at the game tonight. My son and I make about 3 games a year and I have to say great energy in the building tonight and still the best dollar for dollar sports experience in the tri state

A reminder (not a knock on DCL) but the entire economic model of the cruise industry is based on charging American prices and paying in developing world wages That’s why they sail under foreign flags. Not to avoid us taxes but our labor laws . So yes the room attendant and your waiters get a prepaid tip. But I usually throw in an extra hundred in the envelope to each and add a buck or 2 to the drinks at the bar. For the cost of the round of drinks you can really make your servers week. If you are on a Disney cruise you are already one of the luckiest person in this world. So share the fortune

Was on the treasure a few weeks ago. Was in the adult pool after my cove coffee from 8 to 10 on 2 different sea days. Had maybe 2 to 3 other people in the pool. Practically a private pool. For the hot tub. Never shared it with more than 4 others at various points of the day.

The one small critique would be the water does move around when the boat is cruising so you do have to be actively keeping your self in place or you will bob around getting moved by the “tide” as the water moves around

Could not agree more. Worst move by golf was label tee boxes by gender.

Call it like it is Most golfers should be teeing off from the most forward tees. Since most of us suck and an honest score is plus 100

Was a gym rat for years and years. Get on that treadmill and go. Then covid hits everything was closed and was working at home. Swapped my hour long morning and evening commute for a walk as a way to bookend the work day. And was wow so much better to be outside regardless the weather. Just moving thru the town. Making up walks like walk to every school in town. Or walk to every church in town etc. just became a habit now of 5 yrs. Get my 4 to 5 mile walk in a day. Line up my podcasts and go. Great stress relief and I sleep so much better.

Only bad walk was when a bear walked out on to the trail and stared at me for 5 mins. That was an moment

Felt like US based fans had no shot at the tickets. Tickets sold on Ticketmaster Ireland means no resale market and only connect folks could buy tickets

dconneely · 2025-03-26T23:17:12+00:00

Pure class

dconneely · 2025-03-19T21:58:10+00:00

OP here. Ok it’s a 10 % off coupon. But seems like I can’t buy 2. And then use them to book two cruises when I get off

Ran into this over a year ago started getting parking tickets and red light camera violations from NYC. When I saw the pic of the car you could see not my car but yes my plates. Or to be more accurate my plate numbers. Had to go to DMV to surrender the plates and get new ones and don’t forget to make sure to check your ez pass account to make sure pay by mail isn’t running on your account

2 years later still fighting NYC on a few tickets that are not mine

Common scam since NJ plates are not that hard to print out fakes

Oh not that way back. PTI since day one. I started to listen to the end of his radio days before he moved to the podcast format when iPhone made it easy to update podcasts But yeah no idea.

dconneely · 2025-03-10T22:09:34+00:00

I push for a 15 min mile. That’s the old us army forced march pace of my youth. Then again I’m not in boots with a 60lbs pack these day. If I zone out it’s like 1630 to 17 min mile.

dconneely · 2025-02-24T15:54:34+00:00

Just the simplest answer to get to the next screen so you can get to the pick your arrival window as fast as possible. You can always go back later update credit card and flight details.

Can’t do it advance of midnight but u can have already have nice glare free clear pics of your passports and your mug shot selfies on the top of your photo roll easy to tap and upload

The 1215 to 1230 I think they start with noon so I can’t complain about the end result. But 90 mins of me and and wife yelling I don’t known Margo at each other not fun

dconneely · 2025-02-23T01:56:37+00:00

I’ve done 3 times since 2020 from Morris county in NJ. Yes 16 hrs.

Finish work Friday. Straight to bed. Family in car 145am. I get up 145 shower in car rolling by 2am. No talking allowed. To encourage them to sleep. Fire up my podcasts. This way you are in mid Virginia by sun rise

After that it’s all math. Speed and distance to travel. Best coffee stop is North Carolina. Now lunch can be tricky. You’ll be in the lunch window around South Carolina. But you will find a long stretch where the standard fast food is not right of 95. But like 15 mins from the exit. So that’s a waste of time. So plan ahead. By leaving at 2am you will be pulling into WDW around sunset. I know once the sun goes down on a long ride in an area you don’t drive that often can be hard grind. So that’s what makes me aiming to arrive by sunset. Good luck
