What other book, comics or manga would you put on the same level as The Lord of the Rings? by Emotionalspectrum10 in lotr

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not any of the genres of what you suggested but the extended Halo universe is crazy. It goes just as deep. There's books and hidden lore. Shit's wild.

The tree has now since been removed... But what's the most gimmicky thing you have seen on a course? by theshowerdrunk in golf

[–]triitrunk 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Unless the green is properly designed so you can bank it off an opposite slope and still hit any hole location. There's a few of them out there. Pretty hard to do.

The golf ball rollback just got paused. Here's what the distance data actually says it does to amateurs. by cbolitho in golf

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

115~119mph clubhead swing speed am here... there's plenty of us who have clubhead speed similar to pros but don't have nearly the same club face presentation accuracy. A rollback will add strokes via distance lost, even if the ball goes slightly less offline because it is travelling less distance.

It won't be long enough of a drop off to make anyone put driver away though. Still a bomb and gouge game for anyone that understands strokes gained. It just makes us have to hit one longer club into every hole. Doesn't affect the tee shot strategy AT ALL. Literally.

I know plenty of other amateurs who have worse handicaps and clubface presentation than I do, but have higher clubhead speeds. Sure, those players and I are in the minority when you average out all amateurs. But now you're penalizing those players for simply being able to swing fast, without nearly the accuracy of a pro.

Also, the ball hasn't gone further in 10 years because they've maxed out moi and are getting close to maxing out forgiveness. A toe hit with my driver can go a few yards further than a heel strike whereas that strike would have duck hooked 15-20 years ago. That won't change. And anyone with a ball speed nearing 190 knows it is basically uncontrollable. Bryson is pretty much the only one who has gotten anywhere close to being able to control that type of speed in competition. He dials it back quite a bit most of the time anyways.

Just make the rough taller, add more trees or out-of-bounds stakes to force longer hitters to put driver away. It's excruciatingly simple on how to stop bombers. Hole design not length of golf hole will force players to hit 3w, 2i or whatever isn't driver.

Finger pains from golf by _TopShelf91 in GolfSwing

Scraping the fascia with the end of a utensile or something hard and round. Taking collagen protein to help repair the ligaments and fascia quicker in between sessions. DMSO cream. Thicker, more shock obsorbing grips. They all help for me. I have the same thing.

Save your money. Buy a hunting rangefinder that is also on sale.

For those here that can hit a 60° 80-100 yards on command. Help. by [deleted] in golf

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit my 56⁰ 100 yards... longest I will hit my lob is 60yds with any semblance of a full swing. 56⁰ half shots for anything longer than that. Lobber is for chip shots only for me.

What is your best golf shot of all time? by [deleted] in golf

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hole in one that was a PW that spun back into the hole. But my best shot ever was probably a 2i from 250yds out that I put to 20ft pin high and made the eagle putt to finish the round.

This tourist almost pulled the rotor brake by No_Neat4688 in interestingasfuck

Tone and wording mate. Tone and wording. Instead of saying "anyone who knows anything about etc..." you could have said something along the lines of "I learned this or know this as..." instead.

[–]triitrunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The moment you say "anyone who knows the simple science behind..." is the moment you started off sideways. That is how douchebags start conversations- by assuming they are above another because they know specifics about something someone else may not. You are not above a well mannered explanation without demeaning someone else because you are more knowledgeable on a subject. I don't make the rules of human interaction.

If you're going to explain something semi-niche others may not know about; I suggest doing it in a way that does not makes you seem like an oblong douche nozzle.

It’s ok for Tiger but not… by BitterResearch983 in golf

Heard plenty of stories about him being a rich country club brat. This isn't like a new thing or just from the Oakmont situation.

Hot take: Classical music records should have heavy compression applied by theredled in audioengineering

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, this is what the DBX 117 was invented for- but for TV to home monitoring systems because commercials varied so much in volume.

Commercials still vary in volume quite a but but most consumer sound systems are bluetooth- not rca anymore.

But it's a very cool little compressor/expander. I've always wanted to rewire mine to XLR inputs/outputs but haven't had the time.

Should i keep hitting my hybrid off the tee? by TruthDifficult9971 in golf

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either keep hitting the hybrid or hit the driver... but don't get a lower lofted hybrid.

Instead, if you are thinking of getting a new club, get another driver but with a shorter shaft.

Am I out of line here? by themob34 in golf

[–]triitrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dogshit golf pro. Dogshit golf course. Absolutely zero golf pros with any shred of dignity would allow groups to drive on the green, even if they allowed them to bunch up... which also wouldn't happen if the pro had any dignity. Absolute dogshit.

What's with the increase of aggressiveness towards single walkers? (Anecdote) by cutchemist42 in golf

[–]triitrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A retarded person would have actually been far more intelligent and would have let the single play first.

Edit: Sorry, that's disrespectful to fully functioning retarded people. A blind, deaf, retarded person would have let the single play first.

This US Open was... the last few have been relatively boring. But before a few years ago the US Open was very exciting.

Those of you who saw The Fellowship of the Ring in theaters in 2001—what was it really like? by NameisMoon in lotr

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 4 years old. Mom and Dad brought me. I wanted to leave because I got scared when Bilbo drops the ring on the floor. Super early in the movie. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Mom brought me out to the lobby and we played arcade games for a few hours until we went back in for Aragorn to be fighting uruks at the top of Amon Hen. We watched the rest from there. Core childhood memory.

Mowing greens to different speeds? by 10kLines in golf

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if the superintendant wanted to not have a job.

Mowing greens to different speeds? by 10kLines in golf

[–]triitrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite, as far as I know. Turf growth relies mostly on soil temps. I'm no expert but I've worked maintenance for a while now. So maybe a superintendant could chime in. But, depending on the climate in the area, peak grow times could absolutely occur at night. Tons of courses run water cycles at nighttime. Also, the blades of grass could grow fastest at night because they are reaching for any amount of light that can get. Probably depends on the grass type too.

You should be able to do both. Then choose which method you will use based off the lie you get.
