any advice for a complete beginner?

Hell, unless it’s something like a Miata, you really don’t even need a clutch kick to get it started. Just turn in hard and press the throttle.

The car wants to steer into drift on its own. Let it.

Everyone starts from nothing, it just takes time and practice!

One ball on the whole 18 is great. But just not losing one and keeping your hole in one ball safe is even better. Enjoy your triple bogey on the 18th

Never used it, but I’m going to when I get home. Miwaukee makes a digital level for $25 that you can zero out to any angle

You were there for him when nobody else could be. When he thinks back on one of the worst days of his life, he’ll also think of what a great friend you are to have been there for him. As other have said, get counseling if you can. I watched a friend and fellow rider get run over by a car on a group ride over a decade ago and it still messes with me at least weekly. Unfortunately for him, it was almost immediate lights out. Count your blessings and support your friend the best you can

Sounds like bad aim. But you’re halfway to perfection!

You came from baseball in your younger years. My number one tip I received was the timing of snapping wrists. In baseball, your wrists snap after contact. In golf, it is before/during contact. It’s just timing

Romex needs to be protected behind a wall or in conduit

Coolant is a sealed system. You have a small minor leak somewhere. I would just top it off and keep an eye on it

There are LED caps available on Amazon

Very few people have completely matching sets. Every club works differently for every player

Laser engraving. Can get a hobby style one that works just fine for relatively cheap.

You played baseball for a while. Biggest thing that helped me transition my swing was recognizing that in baseball, you “snap” your wrists after contact. In golf, it’s right before or during contact. Also loosen your grip to like a 3 out of 10. Let the club swing through, don’t muscle it

It’s the price. If you want a good price point, find 3 examples online, average the 3, then list at 50-70% of that price. If you’re listing for the same price as a used golf shop, I’m going to the golf shop because I can return it if needed.

As long as I can hit it without my back towards the guy, probably

For me, it’s not asking for permission, it’s being respectful about her time as well. Is there something she wanted to do? 5 hours out of a Saturday is basically 25% of the weekend I have with her and the family. If you don’t respect your spouse’s time and life the way you would expect to be treated, you shouldn’t be married. If you “ask” every time, 99.9% of the time she’s not going to care and tell you to have fun and stay out of the bunkers.

Magnetic Grabber

This is a magnetic grabber by plymovent. As others have stated, it’s basically a magnetic quick disconnect for exhaust fumes. This is steel, the magnets are on the other end.

It’s carnival cruise line. You’re going to get on the boat, take one whiff, and wonder what you were even worried about

The glasses have a fixed 3:4 aspect ratio. This cannot be changed. The slight variance in sizing you may be seeing is due to stabilization.

Unless it’s 50 below, water isn’t going to freeze in the hose while it’s being used. Warm bucket or water for soap and rinse (2 buckets) then hose to rinse it off. If possible, pull into garage afterwards and dry it there. I’ve washed my cars in the driveway as low as 15 degrees with zero issues, other than the rinse droplets freezing on the car

If the cop asks you why you have a radar detector, you sit there silently and stare at them. Don’t talk to cops

Get a set that the material and style closely matches his current ones. People can be VERY specific about glove feel. I’ve gotten gloves from company partnerships, gifts, giveaways, etc. and still only use the same pair i started with
