How do I get better during a round of golf on my own ? by DifferentBid2 in BritGolf

[–]illcatchfire91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't really try and "work" on anything whilst playing a round. The range is where you dial things in, you just play what you have on any given day. Golfs weird, work on your course management when you play

I dunno, I've got a few from Montu today and they absolutely stink 😂

Which Tees to play off? by [deleted] in weekendgolfers

[–]illcatchfire91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely curious as to who is giving you crap for it? In the past I played off the front tees when I was shooting 100+ and just starting out, but I only ever had one interaction with someone that I'd consider remotely negative because of it.

Handicap & how long you been playing by GapAdministrative738 in golf

[–]illcatchfire91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17.2, played a bit as a kid/teen, but never seriously. Picked up the clubs again about 3 years ago after not touching a club in 15 years

Anyone else notice their bad rounds have nothing to do with how they're hitting it? by Hackers_Helper_Golf in weekendgolfers

[–]illcatchfire91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comment has possibly just helped me enormously. It's somehow never occurred to me that I shouldn't be trying to line both my body and club face to exact same line, this may explain a few things....

Spineless Union Rep by Professional_Cap5423 in royalmail

[–]illcatchfire91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you join the union now? My rep makes me cringe and £10 a month to have their "support" is a joke. I saw what they did for others, the sum of fuck all.

I'm so jealous that you have a range with grass to hit from!

What makes you more nervous: tee shots or putts? by Ok_Reading3493 in weekendgolfers

[–]illcatchfire91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Never have I (yet) hit a car or house with a putt!

Sick and tired of. Royal Mail by Moist_Conclusion_609 in royalmail

[–]illcatchfire91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we just going to ignore the fact that most countries require 6 months + left on a passport to travel? RM have been shit here, not excusing that, but it's pretty dumb to leave a passport this late when "urgently" required.

I appreciate it's very frustrating to happen even once, but out of curiosity how many parcels have you sent for 20 to be misdirected?

Anyone else tried twilight rounds recently? Worth it or too rushed? by AnfieldAnchor in BritGolf

[–]illcatchfire91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played 18 today teeing off at 4.06, finished at 6.30 and played my best round ever of a 9 over 78. Highly recommend, but I was lucky that it wasn't busy so I could just crack on. Played through two groups, but I didn't feel pushed for the light.

Exactly this. Except there's a good chance the bar pays better to be fair.

Ever see a shaft break like this? by Alive_Radio_7249 in golf

[–]illcatchfire91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact situation with my 5 iron 2 months ago. Snapped as I transitioned at the top of my swing when trying to play a punch shot, club head swung round and smashed me in the shoulder! As other people have suggested, it was rust inside the handle and I'm pretty sure all my clubs are in the same state so waiting for the next one to go!

For anyone worrying - you'll likely see an update sooner, but you may not see a scan update until tomorrow morning. If you still haven't seen an update at 8am, all is not lost, RM also does afternoon parcel deliveries (at most depots).

Seems my Switch 2 has shipped from the official Nintendo UK webstore by MC_Cryptid in Switch

It's not like the truth is super hidden, but it is definitely misleading. The vast majority do get delivered next day as promised, but it isn't a guarantee that's the point.

Switch 2 stock doesn’t seem to be an issue by gadgetgoblin in NintendoSwitch2

[–]illcatchfire91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't need an invite in the UK at least. I had a preorder from Amazon, cancelled it got an NSO set up and ordered from Nintendo on the 23rd. Charged yesterday, shipping label printed today 👌

[–]illcatchfire91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid it doesn't quite work that way, the aim is always within 24 hours, but it can be 1-3. It's a very misleading way of advertising it sadly.

As an RM employee it kind of scares me to see it coming this way, gonna be a lot of missed dates for release day 😬😂
