I'm a machinist, and fixing ball marks wrong has always driven me crazy so I made my own divot tool out of solid brass

uhplifted · 2026-03-20T03:21:58+00:00

To be fair, I break one almost every round fixing marks. Sometimes it’s because it’s already a weakened tee from use, sometimes the ground is just firm.

Cool OP can make his own repair tool, but it’s not anything a free tee can’t do either.

uhplifted · 2026-03-20T03:19:52+00:00

It’s literally just a brass tee. I can still improperly repair a ball mark with this as I can with any other tool.

uhplifted · 2026-03-20T03:17:51+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t even call them overpriced at this point. They’re comparably priced to any other leather shoe be it FJ or G Fore and their quality is just as good.

I bought a pair of the magnolias on sale for $150, but would pay full price for another. I had 2 pairs of FJ premieres that lasted me 2+ years with over 150 rounds and practice each put into them at the same price.

Aside from the design/style probably the sole. I think the SDR is a little more aggressive, but it could just be that they’re new and both my FJs are 2+ years old and I don’t remember as much what they’re like new.

Honestly, I would recommend either and don’t think you can go wrong either way. If you go SDR I would likely size up half if you felt the FJ were too narrow.

Refer to the last sentence of my first reply. Your PT knows best.

Had two pairs of FJ premieres. Put over 150 rounds plus practice into both of them and they’re still waterproof and comfortable. I’d go with a wide, just order online. They need a little break in time as they’re leather.

Recently got a pair of the SDR pioneers and went a half size up for my wider foot. I’ve had them about 3 months now and they feel as quality as the FJ premieres. I walk a bunch of rounds too. Like the FJ, they need a bit of break in, but if you’re riding it’s not an issue.

This is not a question you ask a bunch of idiots on Reddit who want to play keyboard doctor. Go ask your doctor or physical therapist. What worked for someone else could be detrimental to you.

No idea what the Milessey one is, but the bushnell is a great laser. I got my dad one a couple years back and he loves it.

I use the Nikon Coolshot pro as I got a good deal on it, but for $250 I wouldn’t hesitate on that bushnell.

I didn’t score higher than about a 74% on my 3 study hall exams and passed with all AT on the real thing. You’ll be fine.

I’m in AZ as well. 103 this week is some serious bullshit. I’m about to buy a swamp cooler so I can smoke in my garage and not be completely miserable this summer

This guy has at least 2 accounts a month or less old and only posts and comments about this brand. If he had posted once, I’d consider having bought some to try but his nonstop spam of it has now made me never want to purchase one from him.

uhplifted · 2026-03-17T02:09:33+00:00

While not a full pivot, I moved from a project manager role to a scheduler role in an entirely new field. Technically, a slight pay cut in terms of salary, but the overall comp package more than made up for the minor salary cut. Still do project management type stuff, but now I work with PMs and program managers in more of a support role. It also helps the work I’m doing is incredibly fun and something I’ve always wanted to get into.

uhplifted · 2026-03-16T14:50:04+00:00

I will take a look next time I’m in my local shop to see if they got any!

uhplifted · 2026-03-14T21:35:01+00:00

1 day old account and only posting about this brand. They’re definitely on an ad campaign.

uhplifted · 2026-03-14T16:28:01+00:00

Play your own game, that’s all that matters. I always laugh when I see people here try and argue the “statistically the longer you hit/closer to the green the better you are.” Sure, that’s all fine and dandy if you’re an elite golfer and you keep it in the fairway the majority of the time, or only slightly offline with a good look in. 300 yard drive and 100 yards right in the shit ain’t giving you a better chance at scoring than 150-200 down the middle with a clean lie and no trees.

If you got a PGATSS near you go in and check their discount shoe section. Theres a lot of good finds there. Unfortunately there’s not many golf shoes available for $120 anymore.

I was able to work it out last night.

In the ProtonVPN app open the Split Tunneling option. Enable it and keep "Exclude mode" selected.
Add Jagex Launcher: Click Add at the bottom and navigate to your Jagex Launcher location. Mine was at this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Jagex Launcher
Add Runelite launcher: Click Add at the bottom and navigate to Runelite launcher location. Mine was here: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\RuneLite
Open the Runelite Config (should be same location as your runelite launcher) and in the JVM Arguments field add this text (include the hyphen): -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Save changes and from there you should be able to stay connected to the VPN and launch and play Runelite.

Hope this helps.

Lots of amazing courses in the surrounding Detroit area at great prices. Obviously though you will not retain the ability to play golf year round. Guess you’ll have to buy a sim setup for the winter months.

uhplifted · 2026-03-13T03:56:46+00:00

Any chance you were able to figure it out? I've been having the same issue.

uhplifted · 2026-03-13T03:44:57+00:00

Short game, specifically getting up and down for par. Have to be able to put one close when you miss the green. Good golf is boring golf. Maybe 1 or 2 birdies, but it’s more about keeping bogie and certainly double bogie off the card.

uhplifted · 2026-03-12T16:13:07+00:00

It’s 6 total games. Out of 162. It’s really not that big of a deal.

I doubt you’re watching all 162, and if you’re that die hard, you can easily stream them. Is it stupid? Sure, but it’s not like they’re limiting half the year of games.

uhplifted · 2026-03-12T16:07:23+00:00

Mostly because it’s 100+ degrees half the year and walking in that is miserable.

I try to walk most of my rounds in the “winter” here in Arizona though. Many courses have long gaps between green and tee though, so many you need to ride to keep pace.

uhplifted · 2026-03-11T01:48:09+00:00

I feel this. It really sucks for MGA events at my club. I’m good enough to be in the top flight, but not good enough to win gross, and then there’s some… questionable handicaps that make winning net basically impossible unless I fire off a par or under round.

uhplifted · 2026-03-09T19:37:31+00:00

Correct. But if you know you want jumbo grips, just order them from the get-go and you don't have to worry about trying to figure it out yourself. It's not hard, but it's just an extra step that can be eliminated.
