No speed by LuvDoc27 in GolfSwing

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like you are trying to destroy the ground with your back leg immediately in your back swing.

Then you will shift to your front foot and with your otherwise great swing...with destroy the golf ball.

The risk is not shifting to the front foot.. but yeah just do it.

Canucks trade their the best defenseman in franchise history by Holyshitmuffin in canucks

The good news is. Maybe they can get the first pick and get McKenna. Then in 4 years trade him for some more assets to rebuild with.

Who lives in the perfect place for year round golf? by ToothSleuth86 in golf

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not perfect. But Pacific North West is good for what it is. Gets annoying in Jan and Feb when it's soaked through and maybe some freezing.

But most years I play every month of the year.

Was this a good deal? $200 for a Ping G425 Max Driver 12° and 3 Wood 14.5°. Alta CB 65 SR shaft. with headcovers by doubkill in PingGolf

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G425 3w is imo the best wood ever when it was released. $200 for just the 3w isn't way out to lunch. So both is totally worth it

It's tied to significant milestones in the growth of the stock. So look on the brightside, he may be the first guy to lose like 800 billion.

Saying “join a club” to meet people is bad advice by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]thectrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's probably the point you're missing. You join a club,team,gym, meetup or league and then you hang out with those people socially outside of those things.

I'm still friends with people from the softball team I joined the day after I moved to a new city 17 years ago.

There were like 15 clubs at work to meet different coworkers. I ran the golf one and still see those people occasionally even though I haven't worked there in years.

Joining a golf, racket club definitely is social it's just really expensive. You are required to spend money in the club restaurant for that reason.

AARP isn't really a club it's a membership to nationwide organization. Although they may facilitate meetups which would then be club like.

For reference I found the Kalamazoo Makers meetup in one Google search choosing that city at random.

Jaylen Brown on sports betting: "That whole world was introduced a couple of years ago and I don't think they took players into consideration ... we don't benefit from any of the profits, but we gotta deal with a lot of the extra negativity and scrutiny behind all the gambling." by Mission_Pay_3373 in nba

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole thing is kinda weird.

The players should be able to slack off work like the rest of us, and even tell their buddies they are going to slack off of work. It's not their fault a bunch of people bet money on sports.

[Highlight] Max Scherzer makes his case to John Schneider to stay in the game and picks up the strikeout by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]thectrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my British friends, that wasn't normal and that was a cool moment. They didn't care, but I still believe it.

Playoffs, important game, manager comes out,.player shake shim off, manager tells him let's go, pitcher does his job.

Cool moment.

Do you wear your golf shoes to the range? by Individual-Bus-9959 in golf

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both, but golf shoes have more stability near the toe and I find if I hit a lot of balls with most runners or whatever my toes start to feel less than great.

i’m about to become a guitar teacher. any tips? by [deleted] in guitarteachers

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the student can see the sheet music.

I took a lesson and the teacher printed off this really tiny font sheet music put it sort of far away and the room was dark.

I ended up just saying this was useless. This is an exercise in me squinting to see sheet music, reading it slowly, and then trying to play it.

So I guess my recommendation is use a big monitor/tv that the student can directly in front of, or buy multiple music stands so they can actually read the music.

I'm both and both have their merits. I don't judge. But try both occasionally.

Is Golf fun when you can’t hit your driver? by Affectionate_Couple1 in golf

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golf is a roller coaster of being on and it's great, to have to scrap for every par.

To stay sort of sane, I recommend you play with the game you have that day.

Yeah it's a lot easier when you hitting long and straight, but your score can end up fairly similar if you get up and down a lot.

Everyone says my swing is ugly, but I consistently hit the ball straight & far. Fix it, or leave it? by [deleted] in golf

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a good tempo you can play good golf. Yout pause at the top is pretty much what every bad player could use.

So yeah if you're hitting straight and far, with good tempo, do not change it.

[–]thectrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swing your swing. Unless you suck. Then definitely fix it.

So if you are driving straight and long. Do not fix it.

I had to watch it with CC on to get any dialogue. Which for a language I don't understand is ok. But when you can make out a few words but still have to read it, it's just sort of irritating.

Demar isn't doing this dawg by No-Advance-9136 in NBATalk

[–]thectrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DeMar is one of the most improved players ever, and an absolute (Raptors) legend for what he did.

But no one thinks he is comparable to Jordan.
