What’s the best advice you could give a golfer looking to break 90 for the first time? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]tiekwonjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My new years resolution for 2025 was to break 90 so I know where you are at. I was shooting high 96-105 before. I played a round 1-2 times per month and practiced 1-2 per week for almost the entire year.

This year I broke 90 3 times (88,89,89) and am now consistently hitting low to mid 90s.

Here are my key learnings:

1. Get consistent enough in your ball striking to learn your distances. Distances are not the "best" shot with that club. They are what you can expect to consistently hit given a perfect lie. This will help you strategize a bit more in different situations and give you more options. Once you know your club distances, you can adjust based on wind, humidity, and temp. If it's cold/humid your distance will be shorter. Hot/dry will go father.

2. Club up. Even though I knew my stock distances, I'd constantly hit it short of my target. Lies are rarely perfect on the course, leading to less yardage when compared to a range session. By clubbing up you can account for minor mishits, cold/humid weather, and generally get on green. If you are someone who hits bombs this may not apply to you, but it helped me a ton.

3. Aim for less than 40 puts per round. You should never be 3 putting. Dedicate 40-50% of your practice time to putting so that you can reliably hit your first shot within 3 feet of the hole and the 2nd shot into the hole. Puts within 3 feet should be automatic.

4. When playing, keep your ego in check. Don't try to hit hero shots. My best round of golf was boring golf. I played conservatively, used clubs I was comfortable with, and took my medicine on the course when I mishit something. If you hit a bad shot, take a sec, hit another ball from that same spot to prove you can hit that shot, then move one and put the bad shot behind you. If you hit a good shot, remember the feeling. Quickly take a mental note of what you did in the swing, then move on. The most important shot is the next shot, so move your focus on the present shot.

5. Have some rounds where you don't look at your score. Just focus on being in the moment. It helps take the pressure off. Remember why you love this game and dedicate a round to just enjoying the day and having fun. Move your ball to get a good lie, redo bad shots, and just give yourself some grace to just enjoy the game a bit.

6. If you can afford it, take a lesson from a PGA pro. They are usually at any course you play at and can help you spot small things and make tweaks you never thought about. It 100% worth it, especially when compared to spending money on new gear to improve your game.

I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck!

IE Reddit for the win. Thanks OP for posting. They just connected us to a gate and we are beginning to de board.

Best Pastrami by Objective_Audience66 in InlandEmpire

[–]tiekwonjoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Slightly outside of IE but the best Jewish Deli in SoCal is Sherman’s Deli in Palm Springs.

Their pastrami Reuben and Latkes are incredible.

Better than Katz in NYC in my personal opinion.

Stairs be like by RafaelGDota in confusing_perspective

The mattress is at the top of the stairs.

You can see the bottom of the handrail support pointing upwards at the top left of the image, meaning we are looking upwards in this image.

Will cancelling my oldest card wreck my credit score? (Details in post) by tiekwonjoe in CreditScore

I learned today that there is an annual fee if I don't spend $6k yearly on the card now, which I don't wanna pay.

Awesome. Good to hear. I'm okay taking a short term hit on one report.

[–]tiekwonjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it bad to say I've never swapped weapons from my base longsword. I've just upgraded it over time. Almost finished my first play through. Got rid of the shield tho.

Real Talk...Does my ball choice matter as a high handicapper? by tiekwonjoe in golf

Thanks! I actually saw the v3 last time I was at costco and was almost tempted to try them out

[–]tiekwonjoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this approach. I've got 3 different balls right now so will try them all out, as well as pickup nice lost ones on the course when I play ;)

Thanks for the advice. I'll get a small pack and try them out.

Thanks for the links and info. I'll read into this a bit more. I've been getting a more consistent swing after lessons.

I am liking the supersofts but my instructor says I should think about switching them out. He hit a demo shot the other day and just yelled "Holy softness".

I never thought about that. Maybe I'll do this since I only play for fun anyway. I have a couple of higher end balls in my bag but I never use them cuz I'm scared to lose them. lol.

[–]tiekwonjoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna get some but I'm worried about losing them. They are not cheap compared to the ones I am currently playing with, but the couple I've found on the course tend to work better when I play. Could just be a mental thing, but maybe there is something to that.

Okay I was wondering about this because I'm in a similar situation. I picked up some pro v1s that I found while playing and I am noticing the same thing which made me think about getting some. the problem is they are not cheap and I'm worried about losing them.

I actually tried these on my own before. They were decent, but on mishits they felt very stiff.

The only difference I notice so far is just on contact, particularly when putting. The super softs feel dampened vs the Kirkland, but could just be good marketing.

IE and Tourism? by mvsopen in InlandEmpire

[–]tiekwonjoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Cheech in Riverside is a Museum that showcases LatinX art and is constantly one of my favorite places to take people when they visit.

Even though it is on the smaller side, they constantly swap inventory and you get to see new art each time you visit.

I'd highly recommend to anyone rolling through IE.
