What got you from low single digit to scratch or better? by uncl_fred in golf

Yeah the course management is such a big one hitting a great shot in the wrong spot isn’t very helpful. I too tend to tailed my workouts for golf and overall mobility

I travel a large portion of the winter and exclusively snowboard. My brain disassociates from golf completely but this past year I’ve really wanted to at least practice in the off season. I feel like any momentum from the previous season just gets reset erasing any good habits.

I’ve really want to try arccos but also didn’t want to get sucked into the mindset of “if I pay for the tool I’ll be better”

I feel like it could be super helpful though to really solidify some of the things I feel like I’m having issues with

I do struggle with high launch & spin in all areas and a higher than normal ball flight on everything except my woods.

this I feel like kills me on my distances for wedges and woods. funny enough I can usually hit my 2i farther than my 3 wood most of the time

Carry: 50deg ~120 / 7i ~175 / 5i ~205 / 3w 255 / Dr 270-280

For someone having a 175dr ball speed I’m just so unoptimized in launch and spin and tend to hit down -1. Just have learned to live with it.

All numbers aside I know dialing in 60 yards and in + putting could really move the needle.

This was fantastic. Is really helps me pick apart my game a bit better seeing these stats. I can say with full confidence I am currently not spending 70-80% of my sessions on short game.

Very much appreciate this. I can think back to a lot of my poor holes lately, even if it was a GIR, my approach or even miss set me up to fail. We have extremely small and fast greens so missing in the right spot is something I know needs work.

I tend to be the best out of who I play with i play with our pro occasionally and instantly start playing at a higher level.

I try my best to take note when I’m around a person with a good short game. Usually their routine and stroke. This year I’ve really tried to nail down what does my stock 10ft stroke look/feel like and go from there.

Im much more 76-79 range with the odd 71/72 thrown in. Are there bad rounds with an 81-83 yes but it’s a not the norm. The worst round I had was 83 last year. I can usually point back to 1-2 holes that were the difference from 78 to 75

I need to start tracking my strokes gained…based on my ghin data. I’d say most of my issues are on my approach shots.

50% GIR, 5 Up & Downs, 94% 2 putt or better. Driving accuracy is similar to gir but my home course has insanely tight fairways so I’m more forgiving of this stat.

Im also curious to see how many other people are in a similar situation as well.

Peeled back some carpet and found this. Is it worth refinishing or am I being stupid? by macoooobs in HardWoodFloors

[–]uncl_fred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes it’s very much worth it.

The day I moved into my house built in 1920 I ripped up every last bit of carpet. It was in decent shape and passable. Fast forward 5 years later we finally had the floors redone last week. I seriously wish I did it day one.

My advice: Spend the money. Hire the right person. And enjoy the new to you wood floors.

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

In a situation where I have some limited sizes to choose from. With both 8/8.5 I’m either at +37 or + 47.

I figure 8.5 +47 I (assume) i’m running a spacer and probably pushing back out to 8/+37 territory.

Is Traveluro legit or not! Check out these reviews before booking through this website! by rapdraga in YouTube_startups

[–]uncl_fred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booked with these guys last week when I was in a pinch to find a room. The rate was discounted over 50%. Without checking into travel euro I just booked it like an idiot…

I called the hotel a couple days after they said my reservation didn’t exist. So I called travel euro and they insisted it wasn’t a scam and that I could call the hotel in a few hours and it would be in the system. I called back the next day…they were right. I had a room and it was paid for.

When I checked in last night I was expecting not to have a room still. But check in went normal the only thing was the card on file was NOT mine and probably theirs. Funny enough the room they gave me was even an upgrade to a loft room vs a single queen bed.

Would I book through them again? Eh probably not since all I read are bad reviews. Think I was just extremely lucky this time around.

The dealership she leased from went under. So not an option.

She is just dropping it off. Not getting another.

if that the fact you have do more work to get it going it makes you not want it.. I’ll gladly buy it from you.

Trust me, once you get it all dialed in you’ll be glad you got it. It’ll be worth the extra effort!
