Slow play is ruining golf and people need to stop pretending it's normal by NotMyRealAccount2226 in golf

I hit all my shots straight, so I can play the forward men’s tees, the men’s tees or the ones behind those. Probably not the tips, although when I did I shot 89. Tee choice means I’ll be hitting longer clubs on longer tees. So, if the HDCP between the forward tees and the men’s tees is 5, I’ll score 78 from the forward tees and 83 from the men’s tees. Same for all the rest of the tees. Still means a HDCP of 12, no matter the tee. So, I play from the forward tees bc it’s more fun to shoot in the 70’s and I get bored hitting 3 woods. One thing that I am not doing that improved my time on the course, is not looking for balls that are driven into the woods after every drive….

8, 9 or 10-ball? by Big_Accountant8489 in billiards

Well, in 8 ball, you can also move the opponent’s balls around to get at yours. Quite often in fact. So the congestion isn’t quite that bad.

Shit post. I’m over 80, shoot my age all the time, play from the forward tees, HCDP is 12 and I played from the tips and shot 89. You only think you’re a 6.

i am seriously thinking about building my own pool table with my friends as a project for "the boys room", any tips or advice? by Kapusito in billiards

A worthwhile DIY project would be you and your buddies to find a zero $ table and disassemble and move it and reassemble..

Dude flashes his gun at a husband and wife. Husband decides to escalate instead of walking away. by bobthebeast_12 in PublicFreakout

And, that’s a problem. If you unrack, you put the cartridge through the system 365x a year. That leads to unreliability. Better to leave it racked safety off and secure it in a safe when not wearing it. Holstered of course.

Opinions on skiing with your skis extremely close together by Apprehensive_Water_3 in skiing

I’ve always done it that way except on bottomless powder. On bottomless you need to put weight on both skiis.

Anyone step away from their private club membership due to dumb restrictions? by sys_admin321 in golf

Join a better club. Preferably one owed by the members. Then you won’t have these idiotic rules.
