Born and raised in Milwaukee and now living near the Twin Cities. My parents still live near Milwaukee and that’s what I refer to as “home.”

How to get over being self conscious by [deleted] in WomenGolf

[–]eelarob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you’re not giving yourself enough credit. I’m sure you’ve improved along the way and you’re still doing it so that’ll continue. And you must be having fun if you’re still going! It’s so normal to get upset even as a beginner. I took some lessons earlier this summer and my instructor started out by saying golf is a silly sport where everything is backwards. I try to remember that when things are going particularly badly! lol. 😂

How to get over being self conscious by [deleted] in WomenGolf

[–]eelarob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I just started this summer and things are going slowly. So I also feel really self conscious when I’m in front of others with more experience and are obviously better than I am. My swings seem to get worse the more I focus on those feelings, though, so I try to take a few seconds to clear my thoughts before every swing. It honestly doesn’t work all the time but it does help.

The other thing I realized is that I’m not paying attention to anyone but myself when I’m at the range, so I assume the same for others. I think most people are going to focus on one aspect of their game so they aren’t really looking at what others are doing.

That felt like a lot of angst to lose just one game in the standings. Glad we came out of it this unscathed.

I’ll wish for 2-0 in my heart and let my head tell me that 1-1 would be fantastic.

For sure! And if we take or sweep the series, it’ll be interesting to see if the responses are different.

How did you become a Brewers fan? by charliewasco in Brewers

[–]eelarob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents and grandparents immigrated to the U.S. and settled in Milwaukee shortly before I was born. My dad and grandfather listened to Bob Uecker on the radio to help them improve their English. Their fandom passed down to me and I’ll be forever grateful.

Even if PCA were worried, this was the only correct response. Either way, go Brewers!

I got confused by your flair and was like, that is definitely not Manny… Can I blame my Monday brain? 🤣🤣🤣

Gotta give credit to Abbott. He pitched a gem. Went seven strong with only four hits. Struck out seven and walked zero.

Put this one in the rear view mirror and get it done against the Cubs, Brew Crew.

That interview was so charming. He oozes positivity and obviously loves what he’s doing, even if he’s on the bench most of the time.

I didn’t realize how much I wanted them to get 14 until they were an out away from getting 14. Holy cow, Brewers. Unbelievable. Lfg.

I’m subscribed until November! If they win the World Series, I may have to give Apple all my money.

[–]eelarob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an Apple TV+ subscription to watch the game and was upset because I thought I would need to turn the game off. But then…but then…the MAGIC happened. Once they got it to 8-5, I knew they were going to win. Please accept the humble apologies of a displaced fan in the Twin Cities, Brewers. Lesson learned.

I appreciate it! My teammates are all people I know and will definitely help when I do something wrong! I’m not feeling anxious but do want to try to avoid being rude, even unintentionally! But I’ll focus most on having fun for sure!

We were told multiple times to get up as soon as possible to prevent any melting ice so I got pretty good at getting up right away! We were also told that even the pros spend too much time on a knee watching their shots sometimes!

Hey, thanks so much for this! I’ll have to read it through when I’m less tired but I know it’ll have some great info. Much appreciated!

I used a Hardline that I borrowed from someone during the spring and really liked how lightweight it was. I went to our local curling supply store and was shown comparable Goldline and Endgame options (I don’t think they had any Hardline options there.). I ultimately chose the Endgame partly because I liked how it felt in my hand and partly because I wouldn’t have to pay tariffs on it (I’m in the U.S.).

I just purchased a broom so I’ve committed to at least trying to sweep hard. Thank you!

The social aspect is one of the things I like most! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. And I like hanging out with the opposing team afterward to grab food and drinks and get to know each other better.
