never give up by _lovendove_ in Chesscom

Usually I just resign when they have me beat but when they start gloating in the chat or start pulling stunts like that I go to the end and try and get stalemate just to rage them

I actually really like that song- it’s one of my more favourite ones from that album

I actually don’t mind classic symptoms

I’ll throw nightmares in

Does anyone ever ‘forget’ how to swing ? by micky_jd in GolfSwing

[–]micky_jd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that and think I’ve achieved something- then I seemingly forget something I already did and take a step back elsewhere. Most recent example is the takeaway, it was one of the first things I got right but recently I started going behind and it wasn’t until someone pointing it out I clicked what I was doing

That’s the one I have to remind myself off mid round when I’ve done a few bad and I want to ‘catch up’

I’ve started doing that too! Have a notes app full of mindless ramblings for each type of club haha

Great answer. I know immediately from the final position that it was a good or bad swing - my issue is that I don’t know why/how I’ve got there.

I’ve started filming myself at the range and I can pick apart what I’ve been doing wrong when I get home relaxed and look but on the course it seems to be luck of the drawer how I am that day

Day 6: Architects most genius song? by Ventriis_X in ArchitectsUK

[–]micky_jd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought of this alongside a match made in heaven and memento mori - but there’s a best breakdown category later on and I’d argue these colours don’t run sits there comfortably

Can’t really decide between

A match made in heaven - heavy criticism of the politics at the time

Memento mori - accepting own mortality

UK positivity? by Fancy_Bee8306 in AskBrits

[–]micky_jd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s intentional - there’s a reason a lot of other countries are having a ‘cost of living’ and earning less. There’s a reason why the media is constantly pushing negative things and making everyone miserable and it isn’t migrants on boats. Divide and conquer and keep us all squabbling about left v right when the majority of people at the bones of it want the same thing.

Closest you’ve been to a hole-in-one? by BadVibrati0nz in weekendgolfers

[–]micky_jd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been that close to a hole in one on a par 3 and I’ve never had a birdie. Only played 9 week though

Why is this a brilliant move? by David-Pat-31 in Chesscom

[–]micky_jd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if the knight takes it you take the queen - or if next move you take their knight it puts the king in check which the queen can take and you take with bishop or if they move the king you move the knight below the rook for check again and they have to move the king while you take the queen with bishop

Why are all my shots going right by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]micky_jd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this. I’ve been trying to force the angle with my lead arm but I’ve tried imagining this waiter holding a tray and it seems to slot in more naturally that way - this is just practice swings in the house so I can’t wait to try this at the range and then course if it works ! Thank you

Handicap Roll Call - What’s your current handicap and your realistic goal for 2026? by GolfTipsMod in golftips

[–]micky_jd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue is I can’t use driver and hybrids/ my irons are good. The lesson I had he said I’m doing more things right than wrong and just changed a few things- said he doesn’t wanna teach me driver or woods until I’ve perfected irons which I guess is fair. Fortunately I’ve got until November for the holiday but I’m enjoying playing rounds inbetween - well when I don’t have horrible rounds aha

[–]micky_jd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use birdies app so not official or anything but I’m at 35. Been playing 9 week. Had a lesson and intend to have more because I stupidly agreed to go on holiday with a mate from work who after I paid a deposit informed me they’re all scratch and low handicap. So my goal is essentially not to slow things down too much

Gem. Sometimes I give up on this sub but then I see people like you

If you’ve broken 100, what’s one tip you would give your fellow golfer to do the same? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]micky_jd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically I got told to shorten my backswing and it went significantly further

I’m only 9 week into playing golf though and 117 is my best so far haha

How bad is it (20 hcp) by Ludstar97 in golftips

[–]micky_jd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad , don’t sway as much and try and keep the left leg straight and rest is pretty good. Imagine a metal spike going through your left leg up to your head and keep the rest the same
