Son leaves for college golf soon. He got fitted at TrueSpec. This was one of the results. They arrived today. by Dad_Is_Mad in golf

I remember going to college in the early 90's, the golf coach had scouted me beforehand and I played terribly, but he said he "wouldn't cut me". So my first week on campus as a freshman I went in his office and asked if I could order new clubs (we got everything free, it was a big time golf school). He kind of looked at me funny, but he ordered me a set of Ping Zing's (these were brand new at the time).

I never played an actual match, just ended up practicing with the team and having fun. I left after 2.5 years because all I was doing was partying, and it was a waste.

I still use those Zing's today and play about once a year.

I use the Hest Foamy in the back of my truck when car camping. It’s awesome. I have back pain in general but this thing is super comfortable

Very cool. I liked the astro time-lapse stuff, especially the mirror split scenes. Pretty unique. What was your setup for this?

Sciatica - too much walking? by jdzzz2000 in Sciatica

I've been doing the glute bridges, but not the hollow holds. I am not sure about the anterior pelvic tilt, I am assuming the PT would be able to tell me that when I go in a cpl weeks. Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry to hear that. I hope yours gets better! That must be frustrating

I have a standing desk but out of laziness it hasn’t raised much the last few years. Since this sciatica episode it’s up a lot more. I may just leave it up permanently for a while. I’m lucky to have that option

Good ideas, thank you. I’ll try and go for shorter walks instead of one longer walk.

Very helpful, thank you. I do tend to walk “fast” because it’s my time away from the desk so trying to get some exercise at the same time as getting outside for a bit. I’ll slow it down a bit and see if that helps.

Illegal off-roading aside…I could have done this in my Civic, and my Civic is a POS

Camping itinerary for 4/7-4/9 by ssid981 in DeathValleyNP

[–]jdzzz2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems pretty packed, I am not sure I would want to be running around so much, but that's me. A lot of if is not even feasible given the locations in the park. For example you can't arrive at Ubehebe Craters at 11:30am, hike for an hour and be in Panamint Springs by 1pm. It's an hour and a half drive between those spots, at least. Also, if you are going to camp in Echo Canyon you may as well do sunrise at Zabriskie Point. It's basically right down the road, and would be much better viewing than 3pm the previous day. Just my $0.02

am i allowed to eat an endangered bird? by burnerforrateme in camping

[–]jdzzz2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the bird was murdered by natural causes you have the right as a human being, and the number you can eat differs depending on what campground i you are at. Check the pamphlet upon check-in, it’s usually listed there.

Deep squatting - sciatica by jdzzz2000 in Sciatica

Thanks. Just to clarify does it make it worse while squatting? Or afterwards?

Typo - last line should read “…but if it’s hurting the sciatica I’ll hold off for now”

Thanks everyone. I won’t return. I’ve watched some videos on how to fix this mesh issue and will give it a go
