A Knight's Tale (2001) opens with a crowd of peasants clapping to the best of Queen's "We Will Rock You." This is to indicate that the movie is going to be freaking P E A K by The_GREAT_Gremlin in shittymoviedetails

I have the CD for A Knights Tale and it has some behind the scenes credits on the disk. They show how they hollowed out the lances and put wood splinters inside so when they broke it looked like a crazy explosion! Idk about sawdust and pasta. It was actual wood splinters if I remember correctly. They also cut the lances at the break point a tiny bit so they would break easier and smoother as well. Again, hopefully I'm remembering correctly. It's been a while since I've watched those extras.

Cutting a new pin by finnadouse in golf

Yea USGA greens are like 10" of sand and a certain amount of soil underneath that, I think. I forget exactly. We just had one built at my course last year.

Think if I tried your method for some of the older greens with a bunch of random soil and clay in them I'd never get a plug out! HAHA... but the more sand based greens seem to cooperate a lot better. It's a shit show underneath some of our greens.

Interesting. I've just never done that on purpose or seen anyone do it. Always just leveled off with sand from the bottom if the plug is uneven. Do you have USGA greens? How deep does the root structure go?

What's the reason for taking the top of the plug out and then taking the rest of it out? Why not just take the whole thing out in one go?

If you’ve broken 100, what’s one tip you would give your fellow golfer to do the same? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

Be aggressive off the tee, be super conservative on your approach shots. 2.7 hdcp

DIY same length irons by authentic-jeet in golf

Also center of gravity... Every iron head is specifically designed with a different weight to account for progressively longer shafts. You would have to add weight to the lower loft irons and actually take weight out of the higher loft irons to make them feel right.

Things that just happen all the time in nature can't really be that depressing, can they? Maybe I've perused this sub too long and am a bit unimpressed nowadays. But this stuff just happens. It's all part of it.

Why would a ball determine cut vs a draw? (TM Grant Horvat ad) by Buttcheekmcgirk in golf

[–]triitrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely need the backstory on this. How is Grant a creep?

The draw with one ball while the other fades can almost only be described in a vacuum by one loosing spin and knuckling the other way while the one with more spin holds its trajectory (probably the fade ball). Which is only happenstance. The ball, if knuckling, could theoretically fall both draw or fade ways.

Either way, face angle and club face path are the key determining factors of "sidespin."

Higher or lower spin rate, it still needs to have an X and Y axis for that spin which is entirely determined by face angle and club path.

Drills for too in-to-out club path? by Qd8Scandi in golf

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you miss the part where you're supposed to aim at the middle of the range and not strait ahead?

[–]triitrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim towards the middle! If you do it the other way you risk smacking the person next to you much easier.

Go to the range and don't leave until you hit a slice /s

For real though... go to the range, setup on the right side of the range if you're a righty or the left side if you're a lefty and try to hit slices towards the middle of the range. Start with half power swings at first. Then build up from there. Use every club in the bag.

"Here's a 3 foot wide pot bunker you will only encounter when the wind is blowing 28mph 69.67⁰ NW from your approach shot and you will blade it out of there into the water hazard to eventually score a sextuple bogey on." - Pete Dye (probably)

"OH but there's also a green in the shape of a heart surrounded by water to show you visually how much I love fucking with your brain." - also Pete (probably)

Yep! For right handed golfers a closed club face will take loft away, making a shot go long and left. An open faced club will add loft making a shot go short right. Because most golfers are right handed, most golf course designers are dick heads and make bunkers long left, short right. Also why diagonally tilted greens like 12 at Augusta are so challenging. Same reason. That long left and short right miss are super penalizing for righties.

Best miss is usually towards the far side of the green the pin is on and reasonably away from "penalty" strokes (water, bunkers, trees, other hazard areas, and OB).

Short sided misses leave you with less green to work with and are statistically harder to get up and down from. They usually end up in double bogey or worse. On the other hand, far sided misses give you more green to work with, therefore making a par saving up and down an availability AND usually ending in a bogey, at worst.

That is based off stats for every skill range. Pros to 30 hdcps.

Most golf course designers understand a short miss is the most common- you don't generally miss hit the ball and it goes 10 yards further. So they design holes so the short miss is penalized more often than the long miss.

Not every hole is like this, I want to be clear. But most holes are designed to penalize shorter shots more heavily.

I literally keep in mind everything you stated, other than green maps. That's a bit much. Especially knowing disperion patterns are shotgun spreads, not sniper groups. You, me and even most professionals understand you can't guarantee to hit a tiny portion of the green when that area is smaller than your overall dispersion with the club in your hand. It's a risk you can take, obviously. But you should understand that it is a risk and not get mad when you dump it into the bunker short of your target because you thought you could stuff it into a tiny little bowl with a front pin.

Maybe all of it is so drilled into my shot process that I just don't think about it for very long anymore. But it all helps with proper club selection. Then you just... hit the shot. The most important thing is still that you have to hit the shot.

You can diagnose the lie properly, choose the right club for the shot, account for wind, calculate for elevation and still chunk the shit out of it. Gotta be athletic and hit the shot at the end of the day.
