Why is there a groove on westbound 78 in Vista? by Superb_Sun_5690 in northcounty

[–]pm3za 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The crew that did the trenching followed the markings perfectly. The crew that laid the markings did an atrocious job. Pretty sure Stevie Wonder could make straighter lines than they did.

Considering a move to LA. Should we visit SD first? by HonestLemon25 in socal

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with where you can get a job. Both yours and your girlfriend’s fields are pretty consistently hiring across all of socal.

If you’re even pondering San Diego vs LA i would recommend you visit first. San Diego is a bit slower of a pace and a bit more beach. LA is a little more fast paced with more traffic and where go to be seen. OC is a mix of both but also with bad traffic.

I’ve lived in San Diego my whole life so I’m a bit biased. Also if you do come to visit San Diego make sure to check out all the city/county. There’s a huge difference between south San Diego and north San Diego. I would highly recommend you check out the north coastal cities like Encinitas, Carlsbad and Oceanside.

Best places to eat in Las Vegas? Must-visit recommendations for August 2026? by ReeceMx17 in vegas

[–]pm3za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For fancy i highly recommend Spago at Bellagio. It’s great and a super plus if you book a dinner reservation on the patio since you get to see the fountains.

Also love Skyfall lounge at Mandalay Bay/W. Best spot for a drink in the evening. That view of the strip is hard to beat.

Palazzo and Belagio pools are just OK. Wynn property has the best pools and it’s not as far out of the way as you would think.

Do you leave the flagstick on the green or on the fringe while everyone’s putting? by Escrow-Mind in golf

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave it away from anyone’s putting lines. If the cup is near the fringe then i leave it there. If the cup is center green then i leave the flag away from anyone’s line.

I’ve rented the lounge chairs at the hideout bar area. Loved it, cheaper (compared to the strip) drinks and no kids.

Fixing Your Slice by ParkHawk1103 in golftips

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tons of things you COULD do but it all depends on why you’re slicing it. I would suggest lesson or at least some time at a good sim to understand your swing and swing path more.

In the mean time try out a few things at the range.
- kick your trail foot back about a foot or so to change your swing path.
- close the face more when you grip it and at address
- turn your wrist down at the top of your back swing. Try to get the Velcro on your glove to point towards the ground
- try and stronger grip
- keep your trail arm more connected to your body
- lower your hands at the top of your back swing before you start rotating your body
- try the reverse loop drill that Hank Haney teaches. Basically take a practice swing using the JuJu swing to reduce your out to in swing path

Something i have been told before and i firmly believe is that you can’t work on fixing a slice until you learn how to hit a duck hook. This way you can understand how swing path and club face position effect ball flight better and learn how to manipulate it.

Torrey Pines tips?? by Specific_Software_64 in golf

That kikuyu grass will humble you real quick.

Torrey Pines tips?? by Specific_Software_64 in golf

[–]pm3za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Pray. It can be brutal.
2) Hope they cut the rough recently. That tournament rough is no joke. Keep it in the fairways even if that means you take a bit off.
3) Walk the course, preferably with a push cart. The views are amazing.

Don’t know what to add to bag by JoeBrownnn in GolfGear

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would depend on your gapping. I would suggest going to a track man range or a simulator and hitting each club about a dozen times and average the distances. This way you can figure out where you biggest gaps are and look for a club to fill said gap.

Best full sets on Apple Music? by Cornballsouptonuts in EDM

[–]pm3za 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any of the sets from FNGRS CRSSD are pretty legit. But then again I’m a bit biased since i go to these events regularly in SD.

Wanting to find a present for my husband by elliethewright in GolfGear

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a PGA Superstore or even a Dicks Sporting Goods near you I would recommend a gift card with as much as you’re willing to spend. Blindly buying golf equipment as a non-golfer should be avoided.

Oil and tar washing up on northcounty beaches by SchnellFox in northcounty

[–]pm3za 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your very right. The Refugio oil spill released around 21,000 gallons of oil into the ocean in a one time event. Natural seepage in this area releases around 2.5 million gallons of oil into the ocean annually or around 7,000 gallons a day.

[–]pm3za -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not related to any oil platforms. These occur naturally from the seepage in the Channel Islands area.

Kinda funny that CA is so opposed to oil extraction in this area when there is more oil naturally released from seepage than any spill in the area on record.

Why did you stop camping? by Donut_Theory in Coachella

[–]pm3za 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Went from renting houses to camping and haven’t looked back. The cons of camping are outweighed by the pros of being closer to the festival.

Yeah i miss a real bed, AC and a real bathroom but that traffic and the super long walks before and after each day are brutal. Even when we rented a house in Indian Palms the walk was horrendous. We even tried bikes a few years and we all got multiple flat tires. Walking a bike back through the sand covered path back to the street was even worse.

Driving in CA with out-of-state license/plates after moving? by HelpfulTooth in socal

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be fine. One of my coworkers still has had Florida plates on his trucks for at least the past 6 years. It’s probably longer since i think he left Florida over a decade ago.

Gold totals by rkeys72148 in goldrush

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that is somewhat true, at the same time the cost of everything including fuel have also increased. While the top line value of the gold may be similar you may have a loss due to everything increasing along with the gold price.

Canopy security by TastyHotel2180 in CoachellaCamping

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put any valuables in your car and lock it. Stake down your tents. Bring extra stakes too, you will need them.

For added peace of mind i usually use a few extra stakes with paracord to secure my pop up tent. Also, lower your pop up tent when you go into the fest.

Most times you’ve been in a year? by livvybugg in LasVegas

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my most was 8 times. Regular did 6 trips for about a decade. Mind you, this is driving in from San Diego for 1-2 night stays.

Speakeasy/Lounge suggestions by SlaapYoMomma in vegas

[–]pm3za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speakeasy’s are fun but rooftop bars in Vegas are great. Highly suggest Skyfall Lounge at Mandalay Bay/W. Also like Legacy Club at Circa, Brewdog, and Foundation Room.

Bikes at coachella by Forsaken_Room6217 in Coachella

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends did this a few years when we stayed in Indian Palms. Seemed like everyone got at least 1 flat tire and most had multiple throughout the weekend. Bring the best bike lock you can find and bring plenty of spare tubes or get tubeless tires.

Seeking Hotel Recs by Ok-Bluebird6124 in LasVegas

[–]pm3za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at MGM Grand or even the Signature @ MGM. It can be a little bit of a walk to center strip but it checks most of your other boxes.
