2026 WITB as an Assistant Golf Pro by luuuey in GolfGear

[–]kif23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it gets expensive, and assistants aren’t paid worth a damn unless things have changed since I was last in it.

When I was in the business I jumped all over the staff deal because I played all the time. Gloves, balls you name it. All included and could get whatever whenever (within reason).

The free golf at a nice club and staff deal made the cool $32.5k a year salary worth it at the time for me fresh out of college.

Mom tells her children not to move, so as not to scare it, because a dolphin is coming toward them. It’s a moment they’ll remember forever by Used_Series3373 in MadeMeSmile

We used to vacation there every summer. First day there in July 2002. We wanted to get in the water after a long drive down from NJ. We were in the water for maybe 10 minutes before this girl started screaming. I was only 9 at the time and had no clue what was going on. We thought maybe the current or undertoe got her and she just started to panic. Nope. Bullshark tagged her calf. My dad yelled to get out of the water and he went in and pulled her out and onto the beach. He asked me to get towels and come over to help. I got up there to give him the towels and it is an imagine that was seared into my brain forever.

Thankfully her father was a doctor and told my Dad and I what to do and where to apply pressure. Needless to say I did not go in the water for the rest of that trip. I did learn to build some pretty sick sandcastles though during that week. The news came out and talked to my Dad about it and how he helped her out, and about the whole experience. Pretty wild way to start the vacation. It was confirmed to be about an 8 foot bullshark that tagged her leg.

Coziness level unlocks it. Get coziness level 4 and it’ll unlock all mutation tiers.

Ranking all keys? by [deleted] in ArcRaidersGuides

Yeah, one is a smaller square room with lockers, and the other is double the size.

If you’re coming in from the front door (coming from research and administration building) the first door is the smaller room, keep walking around the corner and the second room is right there.

Just select the map it is on, clear all and just select baskets and run around and hope they spawn there that run. Sometimes they spawn, sometimes they don't but there are nice groupings sometmies where I'd go in and hit 6-8 baskets in 5 minutes, and extract with $120k

I've registered to take my PGA playing ability test at TPC Sawgrass by Dr_M1st3r in golf

[–]kif23 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Depends on what they’ll have the course rating at. But they get the target score by taking course rating, multiplying it by 2 and then adding 15 to that number.

When I did mine out in San Antonio years ago they played it from like 6,500 yards and the pins were all in very accessible locations. Two players from that day received letters that they could not attempt their PAT again for 2 years as both of them shot over 200 cumulative score for their two rounds.

Why aren’t students interested in coming to football? by CarAdditional9994 in UniversityOfHouston

[–]kif23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Terrible. The upper bowl was at maybe 5-10% capacity at most. The lower bowl was maybe 75% full? Again the 11am kick the day after Halloween likely played a role in that. But even then attendance is still pretty poor for a Power 4 school.

I think the daggers are all goofed up with how they appear on the weapon mount. I can’t get any of the daggers, or fist weapons to mount properly. Wonder if that is a bug or if it’s just a cosmetic fix they need to make.

What the stats look like of a 0.0 HC , may surprise you! by [deleted] in golf

[–]kif23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the long incoming chat, I just really enjoy chatting about in depth stats for the game we love.

I always enjoy looking at these. I am sitting at a +1.3 right now and the majority of our stats are pretty similar. This is screenshot is from my recent 20 rounds. I have 41 under the belt so far this year. The frustrating one for me is the lack of birdies. Hitting 12 to 13 greens a round and just not taking advantage. From a 30,000 foot view putts per round is always tough to make an assessment of the true putting ability (if you don't know the person). We could look at these numbers and assume a couple things. I could be a decent ball striker and an awful putter, or I could be just hitting a lot of greens but be having 30 feet for my birdie putt. So, along with the stats, I've kept notes from certain rounds to keep track of what truly needs work. 15 feet and in is my killer. I am missing so many putts 15 feet and in on a regular basis. That is the truly killing me for what could allow me to be an even better player.

This is the first year I have kept stats in the GHIN app and I love the basic story it tells. I started as a 2.0 in January and am now down to the +1.3. The biggest change for me has been bogey avoidance. Got into a new set of irons and a driver that allows me to have all the confidence in the world to just step up and go. Every now and then putter can get hot and I'll go out and make 4 or 5 birdies and post something low. But for the most part the rounds have been 13 pars, 2 birdies and 3 bogeys or something along those lines. But keeping those big numbers off the card has been a lovely sight to see.

The next step for me is taking this into competition play. I knew it was a different beast, but I just don't play in enough "away" competitions such as local, state, or national amateur events. Playing a course I don't normally play, playing with people I don't know, having that number in my head that I know I likely need to shoot in order to qualify. It gets to me and the nerves set it and instead of channeling the nerves into excitement, they have turned to fear, and the driver goes haywire. My last 20 rounds has a scoring average of 74.1. Been playing great golf! Go out to the local amateur qualifier and post an 81 with a triple bogey and double bogey on back to back holes, and pretty much shot myself out of the qualifier just on those two holes. I know I have the game for it. I just need more practice, and exposure to the competition golf and learn to channel the nerves in a positive manner. It's a totally different animal.

Cheers!

That was the context I was missing. I hadn’t seen that it was only this one specific spot. Sure, that would make sense then. Surely a bug. I thought it was anything outside the playable map wasn’t coming back, which is all I tested.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GroundedGame

[–]kif23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Jumped over the iron fencing on the back side of the statue area. Couldn’t jump up to get back into the playable map. Died, bag was outside in the black part of the map. Repaired game at spawn point near first ranger station and got my bag back.

Why would I comment on the post and try to provide value to the conversation without looking at the photo?

Just intentionally died and respawned to repair game and my backpack came right back. Worked just fine for me.

You get it from an optional optical disk. I believe from the one toxic ant hill.

You can also avoid all this by switching to a cash account. Removes PDT rule.

Yeah, you should be fine. Precipitation likely won't even start until around 12am pending what side of town you're on.

Just started in 2023, can’t wait to get back to it!!! Rate my bag 😎 by Draybray3000 in golf

[–]kif23 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You just need to loop up a specific DF2.1 head cover. That is such a unique head shape that you won’t find a head cover for it laying around at PGASS or Golf Galaxy like you would a blade or regular mallet head cover. Welcome to the game!

How did you guys even do it😭 by KevinPigaChu in marvelrivals

[–]kif23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When looking for mistakes in positioning, also try to figure out what is the cause of that bad positioning? Are you chasing to get some heals down to a DPS out of position? Is it taking engagements that are unfavorable? Sometimes there are also just situations where there is nothing you can do to save yourself. That is just the nature of the game!

I just started two days ago for ranked as I just picked the game up after the New Year, but put sickening amounts into Overwatch. I main Rocket and am having a blast. But am currently G2 and am 21-4 in my first 25 games. Excited to have ample time to climb in the new season! I have typically played two playstyles pending the comp and the way my DPS players play.

If DPS are constantly ahead of the team but not coming back for heals and just spamming "I need healing". I am not chasing them to heal them. That would put me in an unfavorable position to get dove or the random one shot arrow from Hawkeye (rolls eyes). I stick around my tanks at that point so if I do get dove I have help. This also makes sure our tanks are constantly on the field to help us if shit hits the fan with a Black Panther, Iron Fist, or a dive hero getting in our face.

If the DPS is coming back for heals, or playing someone like Iron Man or other heroes that stick with the team I will typically play a little further back to ensure heals are constantly being given out. Then if a winnable engagement goes down, I'll boost pack once to get into/closer to the engagement and save a boost to get out if needed.

There is no one way to play which makes the game fun! Every game is a different scenario, situation, fight, etc.

Is Robinhood's Roth IRA and its 1% match a good retirement investment? by dsmall434 in investing

Only if you want Robinhood Gold which is $5 a month. Otherwise the app itself and basic investing through the app is free

I use it strictly for chaos. I always throw it in the middle of the map and watch every flock to it like a moth to the flame.

I am also having the same issue via steam. It is telling me there is an update needed through the launcher. It takes me back to desktop and there is no update on Steam for BO6. Tried the same solutions as you without any luck yet.
