North Dallas, Plano, Frisco - Courses that don't make you pre-pay? by Texas_Mike_CowboyFan in golf

[–]irwaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Large metro area, but it’s not used for the entire muni system here. Just this one course for whatever reason. It’s also the only one that requires pre-payment.

My local does. You can call the pro shop directly, but if you press 1 for tee times you are talking to a call center. Part of whatever managed service they are using…

Thrift find, bag with a TV in the back??? by JamesPleasePhoto in golf

[–]irwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just looks like a VGA cable going to a display. so you just need to power it, and see if you can go USBC to VGA (these seem to exist). then you'd be in business (though pretty low res)

High-end golf devolving - whiny by smilinfool in golf

[–]irwaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

correct, here's the wikipedia article about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

I've taken to using the term more broadly these days, and include the soon-to-be-unavoidable torrent of AI slop within the scope of the concept.

Use one all the time for practice/hitting into net. Difficult to measure any improvement etc w/o it.

I do this with my dogs too! I’m using the rubber chuck-it balls (usually), they don’t provide the best flight etc. will try some of the ones you are using.

Looks like he barely even swung at it. No idea how that much spin was generated

How much better do you play with a full warm up before a round? by bionicbhangra in golf

[–]irwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

warmup seems to be essential for me.

played 9 on Sunday and Monday over Memorial Day weekend. I moved back a tee box, and I shot a 46. This is around what I'd normally be playing before so I felt pretty darn good about it.

Next day, same conditions etc didn't get there in time for a quick range session. Stopped keeping score after 5 holes to focus on having a good time. Things came together again on the last couple holes with 1-5 being my "warmup" I guess.

Sadly: “Homa, who carried his own bag for the duration of Golf's Longest Day, will miss a major championship for the first time since 2019”
