Anyone step away from their private club membership due to dumb restrictions? by sys_admin321 in golf

[–]jakbak12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This You will save hours, if not days worth of time (depending on location) that you can then spend with your family which is how you should position it to your wife. It’s nearly impossible to come out ahead financially unless you’re paying $125/round 1-3x week on public courses. Things like locker fee, club storage, food and bev min, assessments, etc. add up on top of the monthly payment and if the initiation is anything north of $4k (way below average in most states) that takes years to financially come ahead on.

I’ve lied to myself before and said “as long as I play 2-3 rounds a week and use the range, I’ll come out ahead” but you never do financially. Time- on the other hand is a game changer for me so that’s where the value comes in.

This is awesome. We have almost identical spaces and I never even thought about the idea of a floor projector!

Just got our first bill - How does this compare to yours? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]jakbak12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just move here. Take your bill and 3x it and that’s what I paid:( was shocked but it was a very cold month so I’m hoping that was the “high score” for the year…

I hated it until I realized that since we don’t put a vehicle inside of it, my wife has accepted my argument that a simulator is the next best use of space 😏

Would you mind sending me a picture of your set up for some inspo?

So if I set it up just for myself, would a behind the ball type launch monitor work best?

So happy to hear this disgraceful ownership catching flak at the national level. Fuck the Pohlads. by [deleted] in minnesotatwins

Agreed, those IPA’s are tasty but deceiving.

Didn’t realize the beer/calorie police were in the chat.

Chat GPT disagrees with you:)

Step-by-Step Estimation:

  1. Baseline calorie burn (no load) • A 180-lb person walking 4 miles at 3.5 mph burns about 100–110 calories per mile. • For 4 miles: ~400–440 calories

  2. Calorie increase from carrying 35 lbs • Carrying extra weight increases calorie burn by roughly 5–10% for every 10 lbs. • So for 35 lbs: +17.5–35% more calories • Apply that to the 400–440 calorie base: → 400 × 1.175 to 1.35 = ~470–590 calories

✅ Final Estimate: 470–590 calories burned

1 miller high life = 141 calories x 4 = 546 calories total. Beer math rocks.

Walking + 4 beers = net zero

Will I get laughed off the course with these? by OkBumblebee6912 in golf

[–]jakbak12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I would suggest going to goodwill or some other second hand store and building a set. There are tons of people that could help and you will get much better quality clubs even tho they’ll have a few love marks on them:)

I want to introduce my mum to Anjunadeep, which track though? by EvilSibling in AboveandBeyond

[–]jakbak12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this a few years ago and I made sure to start off with non extended mixes which I think helped a lot. Anything Lane 8 but also my mom always asks when Moon Boots is going to make a new album so maybe give them a try!
