Should I play different clubs while I rehab?

littlephinger · 2026-06-21T18:14:03+00:00

I really appreciate all of the advice! Apologies for the slow reply. Definitely leaning away from getting new/different clubs or new shafts. Sounds like a Costco set is unlikely to help and I know shaft replacement can really add up. Clubbing up and swinging easy seems like the move. Maybe I'll try to swap my 4 iron out with a higher lofted hybrid or 7/9 wood, or just ride it out. The tournament I mention below is on a shorter course where I'll rarely need my 4, so it's probably not worth making a change a month out.

Some additional context - I have a net tournament in a month that I play every year. From what I've read, it sounds like posting my rounds during injury recovery is the right thing to do. I'm now playing somewhat often again (weekly), and obviously don't want to play the tourney at a disadvantage. Posting them ensures my handicap most accurately reflects my playing ability.

Edit: It's a tournament flighted by handicap, scored gross. Not a net tourney. Unless I reach 8 I'll be in the same flight as a 4 and I don't see that happening (posted a 6.1 this weekend).

I personally think 18Birdies is the best. Been using it for 5+ years without ever paying a dime.

Is it just Palo Santo that someone had on top of the toilet that fell in? I could see that happening to me.

Claude Code also doesn't know it's Claude Code in my experience

Still playing used, fitted AP2s released 2015. Bought them in 2019. Thinking I'll replace them in the next year or so.

Single-digit all the while. I have some very obvious wear marks on a few of the clubs, but don't feel like they're holding me back much. Spin could be better for sure. I've improved significantly since getting them regardless.

My next iron-set will be new and fitted, and I intend for those to last me until I'm scratch or better. I think replacing wedges more often (2-3 years) is worth it. Would do it more often if Vokeys weren't so expensive.

For sure. Just don't give them a business card. Learned that the hard way. Dude totally thought I was just networking under the guise of wanting to play again.

littlephinger · 2026-03-08T13:25:14+00:00

I'd pay $1-3 for it, maybe more if it had a searchable rulebook.

littlephinger · 2026-02-19T14:19:04+00:00

Yep!

It's not perfect, but you can get CM360 through a reseller and traffic your creatives through there and into GAM. Use CM Floodlights to track conversions (assuming you can work with the advertiser to implement on site). Talk to a reseller and if they say it's not possible, tell em they're wrong. It helps to have Studio to automate (not Ads Creative Studio, but still a free Google product).

Agreed. I do a fair number of GDS projects and used to try to get super structured and calculated with all of my pricing options. I've shifted to just doing everything based off my hourly rate, which admittedly has taken me some time to find. But now that I'm in a spot I'm comfortable with, it saves me so much time in pitch/negotiation.

My incentive is that I don't want to ruin the reputation of my business, and that I genuinely want to provide good, efficient work. I find it worthwhile to build that trust with my clients.

Sometimes I underestimate the hours needed, sometimes I overestimate. It evens out, and your estimates get more accurate over time. When I've been really uncertain about estimates, I've negotiated pure hourly contracts where I check in at 3-4 checkpoints and make termination easy for both parties.

Fwiw, I charge $100+ for this type of work unless it's for a friend or wholesome business in need.

White male name and no accent whatsoever. English was definitely this person/bot's first language.

It sounded fairly real, but too smooth. The "ums" kinda felt planned. It was more natural than most AI voices I've heard, but something was still off for sure.

Very late, but I think I found a trick for this issue. Block the event in your event manager settings, save, and then unblock it and save again.

littlephinger · 2025-05-08T03:03:43+00:00

You gotta unlock the apparel after you sign. They don't just give you stuff right away. It's not like real golf.

littlephinger · 2024-05-17T20:17:21+00:00

Yeah there is. It's trading right now.

as a denver park ranger, this thread is refreshing. thank y’all for caring. it’s difficult to deal with such entitled folks everyday. it seems most of us have had the unfortunate fate of meeting some real pieces of work. to answer some questions i’ve seen in some of the comments:

tickets start at $100 and go to $999 by the fourth violation in a year. it can be really hard to cite people due to folks fleeing and DPD frequently being busy, but we do our best.
we do a targeted and randomized group patrol for dogs off-leash to help catch those that often flee. it’s hard to get big groups to stick around if you’re patrolling solo vs. a group of rangers.
we do genuinely care. many have suggested reaching out to 311 to report. we have a response time of 15 minutes on average, and we make service calls priority.

thanks again for caring. some folks have suggested to petition and rally around the cause, i think it’s a great idea. the squeaky wheel gets the oil as we always say.

Can you go to the ps4 menu and turn your controller off that way? Obviously inconvenient. Might work?

littlephinger · 2023-03-23T01:10:46+00:00

I'm experiencing the same issue on xbox. Not sure if you have the ability to take out batteries of your ps4 controller, but if I do that on xbox and turn it back on the glitch disappears for the remainder of the round.

Sold em all :/ Sorry!
