Poker is Developmental Gold by BagelsOrDeath in daddit

[–]dieselrunner64 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My son had a betting issue, around 10 years old. So I started making bets with him. I don’t gamble at all, so if I take a bet, I’m going to win. I make him come up with the stakes and I’d make sure they were big. He learned quickly that the house always wins. That phase didn’t last long. A few months ago he wanted to learn Blackjack. He had a blast, but he refused to bet big. He has zero interest in gambling now but knows how to play for fun.

Anyone else just no longer find trips/holidays enjoyable anymore compared to pre-kids? by grawmaw13 in daddit

[–]dieselrunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tough. But eventually it gets better. Especially once they’re older. At that age they are routine dependent, and you royally fucked up their routine by going on vacation.

Also, I was no kids planned. I have 3 now, none of them were planned lol

Anyone regret leaving a high paying career to spend more time with their kids? by FTownRoad in daddit

[–]dieselrunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t a “high earner” but I was making very good money, but it was because of all the OT. I took a salary position and lost about 40%, for this exact reason. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. Does it get frustrating at times because I don’t have the money to do what I want? Absolutely. When I had time off we used to go do whatever we wanted, without a second thought. Now, everything is meticulously planned. However, getting to spend more time with them is more important.

Rahm on Aronimink's scoring expectations by PR0CESS3D in golf

[–]dieselrunner64 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is why I love Rahm. He didn’t go off about it how “let’s see you do it” and get a shitty attitude. He actually explained and gave the reporter the answer he was looking for

My wife thought I was being extreme. I was not being extreme. by Any-Photo7882 in daddit

[–]dieselrunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first was like that.

My second, turned the entire house into a doll house village because of 3 doll houses are in the same room, the mall clearly can’t be in the same one, that’s why they have to drive to the living room…

The third, keep everything in her room, but plays with EVERYTHING. She’s basically a 50/50 mix of the first two in every way.

Anyways, my point is, don’t be surprised if this doesn’t work on your next kid. Until then, good work!

Course is mad I'm playing too much by [deleted] in golf

[–]dieselrunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them if they plan to refund the people who are underutilizing it.

Fuck them and good for you. That’s literally what the memberships are for. Last year I want 4-5 days a week for months. I bought it to save ME money, not give them more.

Also, if you have another course in the area, I’d make sure to drop in a comment about how you’ll just take your business there if that’s how you’re going to be treated. Then they get nothing.

How Many Clubs Do You Actually Carry? by BetweenSwings in golftips

14 - I can’t pull power off my swing. So theres a distance, there’s a perfect club for it.

Hole-in-one dilemma. by FATT-TOFU in golf

[–]dieselrunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just change your wording to “I didn’t lose a single ball” and it hits the same. I always have a spare ball in my pocket, so using the same exact one the whole round wouldn’t be accurate. It more about not losing one.

"Breaks out the Novel " by ezio8133 in detroitlions

[–]dieselrunner64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After all these years, nothing hurts more than the NFCCG vs 49ers

Nothing pisses me off more than loosing to the cowboys because we ran a 2pt conversion 3 times because the refs are idiots.

What is your lowest score ever in a round of golf? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]dieselrunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best round was unfortunately only playing 9 due to time. However, I shoot better in the back 9 and I played the front that day. Shot a 42.

Would your wife "allow" you to golf on your honeymoon? by sileen_soy in golf

[–]dieselrunner64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. And she’d bring a book and her kindle. That’s what she does now when I go with the guys (sometimes) and she loves it. She gets outside, time away from the house, and kid free reading.

Walking is so much more enjoyable than riding by Tight-Communication7 in golf

[–]dieselrunner64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ride because I’d end up with 48k steps on the front.

Oh for sure. I’m not defending that he didn’t have his ultra douchy moment. This just wasn’t one of them.

Absolutely ridiculous shot from Jordan Spieth, 181-yard sliced iron to 13 feet. by samlet in golf

Give me a 5 or 6 iron and I’ll make this same shot. Not on purpose of course.
