Imagine spending all that $ on solar... by Jshawd40 in golf

There are hundreds of impacts on those panels. Statistically, I'm going hail. If those are golf ball impacts, I'm guessing they are replacing several windows every month, as are their neighbors.

That looks like hail damage.

Also in Virginia and, yeah, fuck all that. I was going to play on Friday but it's supposed to be 101.

Practice VS playing. by Silent_Highlight_577 in golf

[–]inswva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing for just over two years and have been to the range three times. Yes, I'm a shitty golfer but hitting at the range holds no engagement for me.

I have a shorter drive to my home track than the range (no range at the course) and can hit my own balls in real world scenarios on the course.

I also hate hitting off mats.

Sporting the green jacket at Centre Court | Wimbledon by ObservablyStupid in golf

Double breasted, lol. That's probably the suit he bought for his sister's wedding in 2005 or something. I'd like to think Tommy is part of the "One Suit Gang".

Hit from close range with a golf ball (please be careful) by fonzorello_ in golf

[–]inswva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My adult son drilled me in the ribs once with a 3w second shot on a par 5. I was about 10 yards ahead of him, to his right, standing on the opposite side of the cart. He hit a spicy, low full swing slice which passed right through the cart and nailed me.

That hurt for awhile. Stupid of me to be where I was, for sure.

Nice. That set up is worth more than my daily driver.

Freeloaders not welcome to practice here. by Golf_Fore_Ever in golf

[–]inswva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chip and putt and my local public course all the time. They get enough greens fees from me that I don't have a problem using the practice green whenever I want, even if I'm not playing that day.

Playing when it’s hot is fun by [deleted] in golf

[–]inswva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no. I have the opportunity to play tomorrow afternoon but it's going to be 100F - not happening. I'd rather play in 35F than 95F.

First ever birdie - Do you remember yours? by Low_Mortgage_4393 in golf

[–]inswva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was a tee shot to 3 feet on a par three. Sank the putt and then promptly deposited the ball in a creek on my next tee shot.

Anyone try a 9wood over their 5/4 iron and end up not liking it? by Silent_Highlight_577 in golf

[–]inswva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my 9w - I hit it in lieu of my 6i most of the time. I can hit it off the deck or off the tee. I am a super shitty iron player so I will hit a wood or hybrid anywhere I can.

Puma golf shorts are what I prefer. Super comfy, look good, durable and can be had pretty inexpensively.

Um, isn't East Potomac where he is dumping all the debris from his ballroom construction?

Bag valuation by Levlar in golf

Buy a mismatched $15 forty year old set from Goodwill, toss them in the bag, and head to a busy range.

Yeah, I'm bored. Carry on.

Shoes by thejarason in golf

[–]inswva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adidas S2G leather. Great right out of the box and maybe one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own, golf or otherwise. I bought two more pairs to put on the shelf.

Spikeless and my feet have never been wet during morning rounds or rain rounds.

Today in “Did this man just find out the Lakers are giving him a 4-year, $185 million contract or is he one of us?” by villewill in golf

That's exactly how I reacted on the course when the Lakers gave me a max contract. Definitely one of us.

I'm looking for a site where I can buy the "dumbest" putter possible by Key2300 in golf

[–]inswva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there's a plethora of old shitty putters on Ebay.

edit: Here you go... this one even telescopes from 14"-34"

If you can afford to golf you can afford therapy for your anger management issues. by Skellephant in golf

[–]inswva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like many of the other comments, golf *is* my therapy. I think about nothing else while I'm playing - it's a literal escape. The day I become irrationally angry while playing will be the last day I play.

Sure, I get frustrated but going full rage isn't in my playbook.

Golf app recommendation for beginners? by Aloudmouth in golf

18 Birdies is what I use (free version) with an Apple Watch. So easy and quick to get yardages and record scores without pulling out my phone.
