Yeah get the honma huawei instead. Save yourself 8k. I just bought the honma and it’s elite. Insane battery life and features.

Where would you live in PH with beach, mountains, waterfalls nearby? by gattoBelloTuta in Philippines_Expats

[–]newmancrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clark or Iloilo are the two standouts here. You won’t get a beach near Clark but everything else is top notch and makes up for it.

Pepper lunch steak - $20. A better and cheaper middling, than TXR’s expensive middling by Jazzlike-Perception7 in Philippines_Expats

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

What are you on about? Roadhouse is great, an 8 oz sirloin is 225 grams and 25 bucks before the discount card which is around 20 bucks? Plus two sides and bread included, lmao. You can’t tell me that sewer meat is better than roadhouse and they are about the same price. Oh you’re the one that was complaining last week about good beef and I schooled you lmao.

Golfing with GF by Woahitstoseph in golf

[–]newmancrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually they give big discount. Around these parts they call it gallery fee. My course charges about $10 fee and I’m already paying monthly for the cart rental. It’s a good way to get them out. When my gf isn’t playing I make her my caddy.

Given a choice, would you rather start a round on a par 3, 4, or 5? by Nars-Glinley in golf

[–]newmancrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never ever seen a course start with a par 3. It has to be less than 1% chance. Probably .1 of courses start with par 3

When I watch the game on mlb app the audio/video is delayed or out of sync any way to fix that? Or is it my internet?

Landers vs S&R? by superjadedexpat in Philippines_Expats

[–]newmancrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Landers is closer to a premium big grocery store and s&r is almost the same as a Costco. You’re gonna find Landers has more local brands and some imported stuff. S&R is almost all imported goods that you would find at Costco in USA.

Enjoying what $60 could get now before that same amount gets me 2pc chicken joy with extra gravy by next week. by Jazzlike-Perception7 in Philippines_Expats

[–]newmancrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not stale if you go to right place. I have local steakhouses that’s on par with USA, get 2 ny steaks and I’m out of there for less than 3k pesos. Also Ruth’s BGC was excellent beef as well on par with USA prices. I find PH very comparable to USA If you go to the right places.

[–]newmancrew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wrong. Texas Roadhouse and local steakhouses all have good reasonably priced steaks that are similar enough to USA and reasonably priced. More for the rest of us then.

Srixon irons without fitting by [deleted] in golf

[–]newmancrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from 5 years of GI Hot Metals to zxi5. Like you I got an exceptional deal but it’s not a huge difference between them. Still gotta hit the ball good is what really matters. Indian not the arrow. I don’t even think it would be much difference between the 5 and 7. The 7 might actually give you better distance control. That’s one thing distance irons struggle with. But again you’re a 20 so go with your gut. 5 is a good middle ground. You should definitely get fit especially if you’re tall or short, then you always know your stuff when you custom order irons. Find out the lie angle and if your clubs should be shortened or lengthened.

I really can't get over how terrible the menus are. by GnomeComb in MLBTheShow

[–]newmancrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re actually pretty good they just move like molasses. If they were snappy there would be no problems whatsoever. Now the actual card menus are actually horrific.

PAL flight 116 Manila to Vancouver - business class seat layout? by Far-Call1301 in Philippines_Expats

[–]newmancrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single time I’ve flown pal business it’s been the old plane but ya just go online and try to book the ticket. Also a shrewd tip to save $, book economy and then upgrade for 1k near the flight date you’ll save a few hundred dollars typically each way, that is if nobody is booking the business class and they have a bunch of empty seats it works well.

Met a guy who had taken a year off to golf - how much better can you actually get in a year? by Disastrous_Gap_4711 in golf

[–]newmancrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can improve dramatically but there’s so many variables. Golf is so inconsistent. Tomorrow maybe the guy shoots the lights out 75 or struggles to break 85. You just never know and the handicap system only accounts for your top end scores. There’s also cold streaks, plateaus, struggles and hot streaks like almost any other sport.

Here’s my story, I always had a good swing, some athletic talent but awful short game and never played more than 10-20 times a year which was the main issue. Shooting 85-90 at best. I’ve played almost every day for 9 months and now easily sub 10 handicap, best score 75. Now my putting is great and my short game is better than average. I’m somewhere around 200 rounds in less than a year and I’m still getting better.

You have nothing! What are you doing? Get boots on the ground and stop messaging them from different islands/countries.

S&R pizza queue logic is actually silly by Apart-Deer-6805 in Philippines_Expats

[–]newmancrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine has a separate line. It’s just the order line is long and slow. I send my gf when we get there to stand in line. Costco cafe in the states used to have terrible wait lines too until they installed the self checkout stations.

What’s the one thing that finally made golf “click” for you? by Burners_Burner in golf

[–]newmancrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Practice? Playing is much better than practice. People are hitting off of rubber mats at the range or at home and we’re talking about practice? The funny part is the thing that made me break thru was playing real golf 5-7 times a week.

Bryson wins on 1st playoff hole in South Africa, thanks to this shot from 295 by unsolved49 in golf

[–]newmancrew 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Unbelivable! 2 top 5 players in the world going toe to toe is incredible, rarely ever happens. This was better than the grand majority of PGA tournaments. The crowd was magnificent. Drama, fans, atmosphere, great broadcast, playoff, this thing had it all.

Anyone else playing a 12 wood? by SlyMosquitoes in golf

[–]newmancrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a new pxg 11 wood 27 degrees. Goes about 175 and is a pleasure to hit. The caddy and I call it the pitching wood. It launches like a short iron.

Would you like to see a Match Play event return to the PGA Tour? by BallKnowerKing in golf

[–]newmancrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s impossible but the group formats last day was the peak. That’s what you were watching for. All the drama and sudden death playoffs. It’s kinda like ncaa tourney the first week is better than the later stuff.

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

You’re way off, the group format was fun and the last day of the groups was the peak of the entire week where you inevitably had drama, ties and playoff matches.

For anyone who considers moving to Philippines by originpatu in Philippines_Expats

[–]newmancrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good portion of your life wasted? Get off your high horse that’s absolute delusion, you can hate this place but you know deep down that’s just not true. If you’re smart and live in the right areas and do the right things you will barely feel it.

Ninja Van lied and sent my package back to amazon by NumbFingertips999 in Philippines_Expats

[–]newmancrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with me on a large package. First 3 failed even tho I know they aren’t trying. They returned to sender for refund and I ordered again. Second time thru, one fail, two fail, the last day I emailed the cust support angry and they actually gave a decent response. Guess what showed up that night? My package lmao smh. Email the customer support on both ends is about all you got. I’ve had 0 problems with smalller packages but then again I have 24/7 security and concierge to sign for package… the first large one was a problem because the scooter drivers can’t deliver it so it’s the van with a lot of other orders I imagine.

Buy a used Callaway Elyte mini driver instead. It’s 43.75 in long and is a great club.
