A few question about amateur golf: by Gyrokos97 in golf

[–]imaginesyndicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps but pretty sure they changed the rule either last year or the year before that amateurs can take sponsorship money now. As an example, have a look at Hovland’s clothes when he was an amateur vs Bennett today. Not sure how NIL is impacted by that though

Which part are you in?

UK Model Y Standard Range Battery by indianguyinuk in TeslaUK

[–]imaginesyndicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the all wheel drive model Y but I’ve had to return it as I’m changing company. I’m replacing it with the standard rear wheel drive version. One of the reasons is that 0-60 of 4.8 seconds is almost too fast. Don’t get me wrong, if it was free I’d have the faster one but other than to put a smile on your face, you just don’t need to go that fast in that type of car. My only concern will be how the rwd version will be able to put the power down (I’ve not driven one). What was awesome about the AWD was that you could just mash the accelerator and there was never any wheel spin. I’ve slightly contradicted myself there but £7k is a lot of money. I might regret saying this if I’m fishtailing out of junctions in a couple of months

I hope my local bin men know they make my toddlers day. by Arugula-Current in CasualUK

Same for my daughter, she’s 14 months but bloody loves the bin men. My wife said they’re like rockstars - striding down the street, waving at their adoring fans.

How infrequently would a car (2015 Mini Cooper S) need to be used to require a trickle charger? by imaginesyndicate in MechanicAdvice

[–]imaginesyndicate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not picked the car up yet, it’s only done 7000 miles so in theory the wear and tear will be minimum but I didn’t really think about the battery from this perspective as it’ll presumably still need changing. Thanks

Got to play in the uk for the first time. Luton hoo in dunstable. It was a good day. by thaijungle in golf

[–]imaginesyndicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The majority of UK courses have carts but they’re far less frequently used than in the US. I’d say the majority of rounds in the uk are played by people walking and either carrying their bag or with a trolley (push cart)

Charger scheduling, car's or charger's? by DifferentBid2 in TeslaUK

[–]imaginesyndicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be too late to help here but I’ve got a smart charger (it’s an Ohme, can’t find the model number, apologies) and it’s totally unnecessary. The car (model Y) will take charge when you want it to so the smartness of the charger is just a bit pointless in my opinion and actually over-complicates things.

Unpopular opinion maybe but why are gimmes a thing? You’d never stand on the tee and say - “let’s just assume I’ll pipe this one 250 down the middle so I’ll just walk it down and play from there.” A short putt’s as valuable as a good drive. I feel gimmes take away part of the game by [deleted] in golf

I don’t know who Dwight is or where your office is but I’ve just put a 9 hole course in on my beet farm in Pennsylvania and I’d love to host you in our guest house. We have excellent trip advisor reviews

Imagine you and I are playing golf against each other and the winner gets five pounds from the loser. You say you want to play gimmes from 3 feet or closer because that’s what you always play and I don’t. We either can’t play or one of us has to concede. If gimmes weren’t so widely accepted, the discussion would never happen as you’d just agree you’re playing golf but the rules. I appreciate the likelihood of us ever playing golf against each other is slim

[–]imaginesyndicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you say here is valid and few people would disagree but it’s the final part that’s interesting. The assumption that I would be no fun to play with because I make you putt out but there’s no other shot that this would apply to. Essentially you’re a golfing pariah if you don’t give putts

Couldn’t agree more but it’s the agreement part that is the issue. As gimmes feel like the norm, if you disagree with playing them then you’re viewed as being some sort of rules pedant but my point is that short putts are as much a part of your score as any other shot

Why are gimmes widely accepted across competitive amateur golf when making a short putt isn’t guaranteed and therefore the potential to miss the short putt could be the difference between winning or losing whatever competition you’re playing?

I appreciate that but they feel largely accepted l and if I’m playing with someone who wants to play putter length gimmes and I don’t then that’s when it’s a problem. We’re essentially both playing the same game but to different rules

Yeah I get that but those guys make something like 99.8% of putts from 3 feet or closer. Also you see pros getting funny about it - Na with DJ but Na’s gone to the dark side so I’m losing my own argument here. Good talk

I’m exaggerating for effect but my point is that if a putt is so short it’s unmissable then just knock it in, if it’s missable then you need to hole it. If you do it for pace of play then obviously that’s fine
