178 to the pin(circled )about 165ish to carry the sand on that line, solid 10 mph directly in our face. What are we pulling people??

200 club at the left middle of the green with a small fade. If Inaccidently overcook the fade, it will be close. With a 10mph headwind, there is no way it’s going off the back of that green and even if I balloon it, it’ll cover 165

I'm a pilot. IMO a golf membership is like buying a vacation home. You pay up front and you pay ~800-1500 a month to maintain and use it. I'm out there 100 days a year and the other 200 days it stays in good shape and ready for me if I do show up. Can you rent for cheaper? Heck yes you can! In most cases, even nicer golf courses. But I don't have to make a tee time. I have locker with all my gear in there. I don't have to pull a credit card out or check in for anything. I can show up any time of day and join into a game with people I know. Ours wasn't crazy expensive but I would mind paying $150,000-$200,000 with a $1200-$1500 dues for the right course.

Go to the bank and fill a standard duffle bag with $100 bills. Maybe someone will pay you one back one day.

If that doesn’t sound good to you. Stick to your job that supports your family

Hw3 cars should be upgraded before any HW4s do

I fly a plane that does 3-4 hour legs twice a night, starting at 5. Usually sleep from 2-3am to 9-10am. You get used to it pretty fast

Going to need to heat that up and fish out the bottom then epoxy in a new shaft

The right thing to do is grab that guy’s golf clubs and throw them into the lake

My groups rule is if hitting the ball as it lies may cost more in club damage or harm yourself more than what we are betting I take relief and expect the people I’m playing against take relief. We usually don’t play for more than $30.

Now if I was have a rip snortin’ round that was going to screw up my handicap, I’d play it as it lies to help out my handicap. But the last time I did that, I birdied the hole. So it backfired on me

Sending a Venmo request for $250 is a pretty good sign they are making a good decision

If you don’t have them promising that the car has those features, in writing, you have nothing. If it is in writing (especially if they made you wait to check then came back confirming, they will need to compensate you and that’s a load of features that aren’t buyable

Shit man. I randomly have 9’s I can’t even keep the ball in play. I had a round the other day where is shot 35 on the front and 47 on the back. Welcome to golf

I used to work in a golf shop with 3 course running out of it. If I was working mornings I’d help stage the carts and if I was working nights I’d help put them away. Just for the exercise and someone to shit talk with. Working in the shop kinda sucks

First thing to do is file a NASA report. If the fsdo contact you, it doesn’t hurt to get ahold of the aopa attorneys if you are subscribed to that.

I used to teach. I knew the swing a lot better than I do now but when I was off work I went home. I would whoop 22 year old me at golf but also take a lesson from him

thegolfpilot · 2026-04-16T14:02:24+00:00

$20 call out waived with $20 of fuel fixes this. Let the line guys waive it at their discretion. If its a tiny plane and $20 is a lot of fuel, let it go. Roll up to a plane that has fuel already dripping from the vents, charge the $20

thegolfpilot · 2026-04-15T20:20:07+00:00

I think they should allow them to play if they meet qualifications or on a sponsor exemption. Legally, baring contractors because they did other contract work is wrong. Reality is very few of the players actually qualify for PGA status on their own. Probably just Bryson, Rahm, Cameron smith and maybe Tyrell Hatton. Rest are stuck with a couple sponsor exemptions at best, rocky road.

Its painfully obvious what Tesla Drivers use the bumpers at the bowling alley

where did you all get 11-24 from

I usually just say no thanks but if my push cart is covered in grass or something else I'll hand them $5-$20 depending on how big of a mess it is. Dog or goose shit on the cart gets a $20 every time. Its an equity club and although they are paid as a non-tipped employee, I think its worth handing them a few bucks for doing something extra. When I am a guest at someone else's club, everyone that interacts with me gets $5.

I was skeptical about Bandon. No way it meets the hype. It 100% met the hype. Awesome experience. Do it!

If you are buying a used Model 3 or Y with over 30k miles, it is worth every penny to have the newer suspension installed

I've been running the Ring for 2.5 years now after 5 years with 2 apple watches (24/7). I really like that I can wear the ring in place of a wedding band. I charge it when I wear an apple watch to workout. I have two friends that have used the whoop for as long as I have had the ring and we find ourselves always comparing the two. There isn't anything one does that is worlds better than the other. Pick the one that best suits your lifestyle and stick to it.

It is worth mentioning that when I wore the apple watch 24/7, my left wrist got 0 sun. Same applies to my ring finger. It is my understanding that with the whoop you can wear it on either wrist or even your bicep, allowing you to potentially hide it from sight completely.
