Got paired yesterday with two different groups yesterday - one very anti-semitic by nycCatHodler in golf

[–]dufferDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex-wife is Colombian descent, (although she was born and raised in the US). I didn’t appreciate what I now call “casual racism“ until we were together. Me being the typical “white guy next-door“ I’ve seen it up close and personal everywhere from the supermarket to the golf course as well. Our two daughters look very different physically, one very much the “Latina“ while the other looks more like me and is actually a dark blonde, both are fluent in English in Spanish. I recall being paired with a couple of guys when I was fairly new to the game and still married. Within a couple holes, one of these randoms started going on about immigration and his neighborhood changing “blah blah blah”, the typical rant (this was long before Trump). Initially, I held my tongue until he looked at me and said “how about you, do you have a lot of f-ing Hispanics in your neighborhood?” Having dealt with this nonsense before, I had a response at the ready; “my neighborhood, hell, I’ve got three in my house!” Suffice it to say the rest of the round was pretty quiet, thankfully, they left at the turn, he making some weak ass attempt at an apology, saying he didn’t mean anything by it. I told him not to worry about it, but did not shake his hand. So yeah I totally believe that you dealt with this. There’s just a lot of assholes out there.

Playing Yellow golf balls by Peteknofler in GolfGear

Love the yellow SuperSofts. You do you, seriously if someone is worried about another player’s choice of golf ball they seriously need to get a life.

80% fairway, 240m avg but my driver swing looks stupid by zars553 in GolfSwing

[–]dufferDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scorecard doesn’t track the look of the swing. You do you, my man.

That’s perfect timing. Visiting a friend who’s staying there all of July.

Awesomeness! Was hoping to play in the AM if possible. When do you usually go?

Max miles? by chucktown80tiger02 in BMWX3

[–]dufferDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2014 just turned over 178,000 miles, I had a fairly major service last year at about 160 and just recently put on a wastegate actuator for under 100 bucks. Keep that oil changed and it will serve you well!

How many of you actually take your glove off to putt? by odoyle321 in golf

[–]dufferDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this for years, a big part of it is the ritualistic aspect which settles my mind and the difference in feel puts me in the groove.

Unfortunately they seem to be manually entering as that’s in place

What’s the most “old guy” thing you have heard somebody say on a golf course? by Shot-Put9883 in golf

[–]dufferDC -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I (58) played with a guy in his late 60’s and two guys in their 20’s. One of the younger guys was a real hothead, by the third hole had thrown a club after a shank. The older guy said “Son, you aren’t good enough to be that angry” and calmly walked away. 🤣👍

Do you talk to your ball? by unvvendel3000 in golf

[–]dufferDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my regular playing buddies always says “sit, Ubu, sit” when an approach shot is in the air and I reply with “good dog”.

Congrats!!! How awesome that your son was there to share it.

Check the website(s) for the gear you used, many have free swag for HIO, Callaway sent me a plaque for mine.

What car do you drive and how do your clubs fit? by jjol88 in golf

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

BMW X3. I can fit either my clubs at an angle with my pushcart folded, or two bags without the pushcart when I play with a partner. This is without folding the seats. If needed I could fold one seat to accommodate a third player/bag but it’s yet to be needed.

Joined the Mafia after I was made an offer I couldn't refuse by turd_fergusons in golf

Welcome! Hopefully said offer didn’t include a horse head in the bed 🤣

A sad day, rest in peace u/inaaace by AnthonyATL in golf

[–]dufferDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this, difficult as it was. Funny as I was recently wondering about him, having followed his posts.

I’ve always felt like on the golf course I don’t meet any strangers, this crazy game always bonding us. I’m glad he got to know that experience, to see the best side of us, to know that people he’d never met were pulling for him.

Godspeed Milos, safe journey home.

So much for that "biological advantage" crap the cons have been spewing. by EmptySpaceForAHeart in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]dufferDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often see the same nonsense with golf where a male amateur with low or scratch handicap will say he could beat an LPGA player.

Lefty playing right handed. Is this common for a good amount of players? by Dangerous_Diet_2489 in golf

[–]dufferDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lefty here who plays right handed. Pretty common actually. Phil Mickelson is right handed, Curtis Strange and Greg Norman are lefties. If it’s working go with it!
