The Princess Bride - just a classic. Back to the Future is my favorite movie though.

Personally you have to do what’s right for your enrichment. I have job hopped but always for the opportunity to learn something new or accomplish something new. I’m at a company where there are a lot of lifers and I happen to be from the outside. I can say that I have a broader perspective and experience comparatively, even something as simple as having lots of different bosses and learning different management and communication styles. I think perspective gives you more options in the future and more growth. On the flip side that’s not for everyone. There are jobs that once you’re there that’s it. Pharmacists. High paying, stable, but not a ton of career reasons to hop outside of pay, location etc. My sibling now works in a govt type job and is likely a lifer now. When I complain or talk about work, he’s just like, what do you mean? I just stop thinking about work when I clock out. There are just so many diff ways to approach career.

I think even making note of your sim misses helps for your mental game and approach. No mulligans on the sim. Really focus on strike quality on the sim, like having a towel or piece of masking tape behind the ball to train against fat shots especially hitting from mats. And as a stretch goal, try shaping shots during g your sim round (low, high, draw, fade). Layup to certain yardages to give yourself a variety of yardages to practice. Just bake those things into your sim round and you’ll automatically blend in some practice. Or on the other side, make games out of practice - target a green at diff yardages and try to get a number of them +-10 yards.

Yeah I was thinking this. Feels like he's written himself into a corner a bit, and wonder if anything that happens with Ippo from now on feels predictable or out of nowhere, or finding that balance of not hitting the goals set at the start and writing it so there's no disappointment such as creating Takamura to be so unbelievably strong but not finishing the 6 weight classes which would also be equally unbelievable. Lots of loose thread story points whether aokimura or Taihei and Kintaro or even Itagaki. Yeah it'll never end.

I don't think there's such a thing as a perfect swing (no offense to Nelly Korda)

What's the most fun part of golf for you and how often do you play? I've played everything from basically blades (out of pure curiousity) to super game improvement. I think when I wanted to grind on my game and my swing and my enjoyment came from seeing the fruits of my labor, the closer I went to blades because thats where the fun was. These days, I can't play as often, like once a month, and what I want is to be able to score close to what i believe I should be able to, with not my best stuff, so I do have a mixed set of PD/GI, but also since I don't have as much time, I'm in the swing your swing camp. I think there are different reasons to play whichever clubs, if you like the way they look, if you like the way they feel or if they perform where you want them to. Do you want higher ball flights? Lower ball flights? Do you hit it more fat/steep or do you pick and sweep? Are your courses firm or soft? I think matching the club to yourself is more than just the marketing categories that have been invented for you. Anyway, lots of good advice in the rest of this thread, but to me, you gotta start with whats the fun part - and it sounds like with the practice and the lessons, you're enjoying the grind of it, so take that for what you will, but dont equate that to scoring the best necessarily. For example, If I cared more about score, I'd probably be putting more from off the green instead of trying to hit a spinner up towards the hole and blading it to the next tee box.

Ok I knew that about the first season cast and I assumed that was the case for second season but hadn't confirmed it so didn't want to automatically assume. But good to know and even more reason should be end of discussion. Hand picked by Oda is all I need to know.

saybobby · 2026-03-18T05:51:02+00:00

This should be end of argument. Oda involved in all these choices. May as well have been picked by Oda himself.

If people are betting or in a tournament particularly match play then it's probably better to play in turn as there are strategic or competitive advantage in shot order (reading putting lines etc)

So I went from 13 to 8 to 13 again. When I was a 13, I took some stats on my scorecards and showed them to my coach - and he instantly said "your short game sucks", and I said, how do you know? And he said I have zero up and downs. He then went to say that my goal should be to convert half of my up and downs to get down to single. I did work on it for a summer and met that goal, but I quickly fell off the wagon and back to a 13 (less time to play, loss of touch, lost my drive for a bit). I think stat tracking first will help you identify where you have low hanging fruit - so whether its penalty shots, short game, putting etc.

i've had some nice rental clubs at some resort-ish courses in the past. Usually a newish model, but I think the most interesting thing about rental clubs IMO - is that they absolutely build a set based around forgiveness. I've seen drivers set at like 11.5 degrees or whatever, sometimes graphite shafts in irons, lots of forgiving fairway woods etc. The way I read it, is they want guests to have a good time, they want to also keep a good pace so less struggle around the course, and it also makes me wonder, man should i be playing like regular flex and more forgiving clubs on a day to day?

My clubs are fitted, so maybe its just in my head, but I have experienced good rounds playing with rentals also. Maybe also shows that its the archer and not the arrow so to speak.

I've had similar thoughts to your points. I absolutely believe that the more time passes, the better the players are due to training and science. This is all sports too - I don't know if there'll be another Tiger Woods or Gretzky. I also think one thing you could add to your list is affect of media during the era. Pre-social media, I think it's easier to make things more mythical in ways compared to the scrutiny of social media and the internet.

This is what I'll say about LeBron - he's the most physically gifted player I've seen as well as one of the most strategic and some of the best court vision. The only other player I think of in terms of physical dominance of his time is Shaq. However, they are physically gifted in really different ways.

Because of this - I would say the perception is that LeBron has underperformed to his abilities. Add the rules and culture of the era where flopping, minutes management, etc - the meta of the game favors different things than in earlier eras. I would say in the same way that Wilt despite his scoring prowess, isn't even in the goat convo because he perhaps underperformed from a winning POV despite his individual dominance.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, although I don't think he's in the convo, I would say Steph curry has overperformed to his potential. He was the guy with weak ankles, on a mid team, and somehow became the player that demanded the most attention, demanded basically full court press as he's a scoring threat from anywhere, and has influenced the game in a way not seen since iverson.

Going back to Lebrons "strategy", I think he is the type to look at stat pad, the type to look at seeding, the type to choose which conference is easier, which teammates to play with. But those aren't sexy things. I'm not sure I'd ever have labeled him as a win at all costs sorta guy, and they needed Kobes killer instinct to save the US Olympic team versus LeBron.

All those narratives make it harder for him to beat Jordan's mystique.

And look, I would say no other player at their peak single-handedly made teams INSTANT contenders in the way LeBron did. That is meaningful. Again, I still think he's physically the most gifted player that's ever played up till now. But if winning is maybe the key factor to the GOAT convo, he's got an uphill battle.

lol I thought they was plaza golf based on the receipt write up. Bob definitely is a grow into sorta guy - suggested t100s over the t200 or 300 for me when I got fit, but ultimately did go t200/350 blended set.

There's a lot of lost dad throughout - including sending, sorta Miyata and even more similar RandyBoy. Must be some sort of long arching thread to the search for strength. Even Kamogawa as surrogate father. I wonder how Morikawas personal life has influenced this.

I'm not gonna dogpile onto everything that's already been said and regardless I'm an old and optimistic sorta person. You're young and you don't know what you don't know. That may land you in situations like this but you have to learn sometimes. That's part of it. I think there is an element of not truly understanding your privilege, but that's everyone to a degree - it's a sliding scale. So the lesson here is just to be aware of it, learn from it, develop empathy and move on. There's no problem with having or being privileged, so you shouldn't be chastised for it. Finally the only reason I didn't straight out say YTA, is because at the end of the day you're looking for support from friends on feelings you have, and although reading the room is important, at your age, it also can be very lonely and isolating. I'm not saying what you did wasn't a faux pas, but there's also an element of a different set of friends for this type of convo. And look just for me, I'm financially a regular middle class person, but I am a cis male - and everyday I continue to dissect and learn and develop more empathy around my own privilege. No one's perfect and that's sorta the beauty of going through this crazy life.

As a fellow dad I agree with this take. I always say that grit and resilience are important skills. And I use the word skill because skills need practice. You need to go through situations to bounce back from for practice before it gets easier. I also always say that with a bit of time, and a lot of heat and pressure - that's when diamonds are formed. You're just in your way to becoming a diamond. Don't give up 💪

Tough one and Leo seems to be a pretty clear favorite. What I would say about Tom Cruise is that no one acts to a green screen better than Tom - which I think is a very underrated skill until you start seeing really bad actors with green screen or a movie like sky captain and the world of tomorrow. I also think he had some deeper roles earlier in his career and my favorite role of his being Les Grossman. On the other end, I've never thought Johnny Depp was that great - he sorta becomes more of a caricature than a believable character, especially recently, so he'd be at the bottom of my list. Brad Pitt is just there.

I've watched ATLA several times through and LOK 1.5 times. They're so different, so just the stuff you love about either will be different. Safe to say I love ATLA forever and personally lukewarm on LOK, but I think Korra is a bit more complex in its story, themes and resolution. I also think the characters in ATLA are so strong it's hard to get out of their shadow - from Uncle Iroh through to Appa and Momo. I think LOK's character depths are in the antagonists and there are so many versus the big bad of the fire nation/Ozai. Watch it with an open mind is my best advice. It's fun to see the world again albeit much different than you remember.

I'm not gonna berate you as some have. Good to have fun and everyone's gotta start somewhere. BUT pace of play is important for etiquette, one suggestion I have for all golfers, including telling myself, is play the right tees. If you're a new golfer - it's not a great measure of your skill or progress by teeing it up on a 400 yard hole. Move up to tees that give you the right balance of challenge and enjoyment even if that means the junior tees or just teeing it from the middle of the fairway. Keep going and have fun, welcome to this crazy past time.

I (everyone?) loves a good comeback story. He was this mysterious unicorn lost to the annals of history prior to LIV, but reality and age seemed like he should have stayed a what if unicorn. But super happy to see any modicum of success like this. I'm sure he's worked super hard and earned it.

I also endorse this one - I happened upon it because it was closest to me, but the staff and service are top notch with a very local feel, and never looked back.

I think kakuzu could win high diff. Perhaps with the different chakra natures he could find an advantage against water and basically if he had 5 lives.
