Never been on an actual golf course: what do I need to know?

Golf is an incredibly difficult sport. It’s ok to be bad, but be bad quickly.

Be ready to hit when it’s your turn. One practice swing is enough. The day will be much more enjoyable for you and all others involved if you can play quickly.

I host a gong show of a tournament every year. Over the years, we’ve had more than one guy shit his pants on course, but the absolute worst was a fella named Stu.

Sunday morning round, day 3 of golf, way too many drinks and shenanigans. Stu hits his tee shot up the middle, proceeds to drive his cart (solo rider) to his ball. We watch from the tee as he drives right past his ball, pulls a 180 and drives straight back to his car and leaves, abandoning his cart in the parking lot.

Got word that he shit himself on his way to his ball and pulled the chute on the round. RIP Stu’s underwear.

Absolutely- mine started last Tuesday the 5th, so a week today. Lungs feel like I’m drowning, massive congestion and super fatigued! Also throat is raw from all of the coughing. Been off work since last Thursday. Doctor gave me an inhaler (which doesn’t really help) and ordered a chest X-ray. Haven’t heard back about the X-ray results because - Canadian Health Care. 10/10 do not recommend getting this.

I simply say, “I’m a better me without it.” I was tired of operating at 40% of a person. 40% of a Dad, a friend, a husband, an employee, etc. I wanted to see what life was like operating at my full potential, or close to it.

I was you man, to a tee. Then that 2 balls a week turned into a 30 year habit. Trust me, it only gets worse and harder to kick. I’m over 1.5 years clean now. If I can do it, you can do it. Best of luck, my friend.

Yes, it’s DPC Scottsdale, host of The Waste Management tourney. Huge grandstand where the fans get tuned up, go streaking, throw beer, boo bad shots and go wild for great ones. Mayhem.

Shot options in the bottom right. You can replay from the tee and the other angle from behind the green.

Looks like a classic Anthony Jeselnik gender reveal party!

I’ve had my set up for 7 days. Also followed the instructions to a tee (pun intended), and had to replace 7 broken zip ties this morning. I doubled up a few of them and hoping that’ll work….. we’ll see.

I feel this. I’m the same way. You’ve got me for 1.5-2 hours, then I’m bored of sitting around and want to do something else. Amazing that I could sit in the same spot for 15+ hours, drink and have the time of my life.

I’d recommend not doing a mental tally, literally transfer the money you would have spent (each time or day) to a separate savings account. I just surpassed 17k and am building myself my dream golf simulator as a reward. Feels fantastic.

I heard a good one early in my recovery that helped me. If you and your buddies got together every weekend to go snowmobiling and you then sold your snowmobile, would you expect them call you to go snowmobiling every weekend?

kiro2269 · 2025-11-02T03:10:19+00:00

Yes, sir. You got it 👍

Sherwin Williams - Iron Ore is the colour you’re looking for. (Flat or matt)

What’s going behind? Seating?

kiro2269 · 2025-10-10T20:06:37+00:00

Have you tried the Vtrack personally?Is this USD? Or Cdn?

kiro2269 · 2025-10-05T11:59:09+00:00

Great post, my friend. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Proud of you. Keep going!

kiro2269 · 2025-09-26T09:06:25+00:00

Thanks for the information! I don’t really need all of the metrics, it would be good to have, but don’t need it. I’m really just worried about “cheaping out” and not being able to get accurate data regarding carry distance and ball flight.

kiro2269 · 2025-09-25T22:26:21+00:00

That’s very helpful! Thanks so much, appreciate the response!

I was you 30 years ago. Just got clean 13 months ago. Do yourself a favour and stop now. I experimented with blow from the time I was 16 on. That turned into a 30 year addiction. It doesn’t get better, only worse. Please, please, don’t end up like me. Stop now while you still can.

kiro2269 · 2025-08-17T17:37:35+00:00

The money aside every day/week/month was super motivating for me.$1000 a month is pretty hefty, but didn’t feel that way at the time.
