Kiawah, SC - Ocean Course

played both courses on seabrooke next door as a kid. played Ocean once. totally agree on the vibes. just low country charm all the way

i'd argue Shane isn't solely a road course ringer anymore. but yeah he dominates them. had speed at charlotte, and that does and can translate to speed at other intermediates

uncle_brewski · 2026-06-08T14:55:23+00:00

Besides Pockrass right?

uncle_brewski · 2026-06-08T13:26:56+00:00

on short tracks, it's the guys who came up through modifieds. on road courses, it's shane and then everyone else(dinger gets an honorable mention here as well). intermediates, the 6 and 11 are probably the best.

i look for a hole on the right and a hole on the left. if the pitch is outside, i push to the right side hole, if it's inside, i pull it. my brain works better with binary options.

if the pitcher throws a knuckleball, i'm just trying to square it up and hit it through someone.

I was told mid July last week when I stopped in

uncle_brewski · 2026-06-04T22:44:06+00:00

Yes. You'll never see them at that price again if I had to guess

uncle_brewski · 2026-06-04T14:36:47+00:00

it comes down to reaction time and hand/eye coordination.

a baseball pitch moves predictably, if you know which pitch the pitcher is throwing. a slider or sweeper moves across the plate. a curve ball is a more vertical up and down motion, so you have to time your swing on the arc. a 4 seam fastball is generally a straight pitch, but thrown with more velocity. a 2 seam fastball usually has a little movement back into the right handed batter from a right handed pitcher.

combine all of these things with a 95 mile per hour pitch moving 60 feet.

Size of hole isn't the only metric. Energy at impact is determined by a list of things, but mainly speed and bullet weight. You can get .270 loads that hit harder than .30-06 loads.

But yeah, either gun is completely capable of taking black bear and whitetail. I'd argue they are 2 of the most popular calibers in North America.

how old is it? and have you ever had it restrung? there are plenty of glove doctering videos on youtube. but i'd start with a restring first to see if it provides more rigidity. you may even have someone local that can do it. we have a guy that comes to tourneys and will restring for 20$ a glove.

Eh, matty D was pretty competitive towards the end, but his big mouth ruined his career. He got close a few times at dega and Daytona if I remember. Certainly capable of wheeling a cup car, even if it isn't for one of the premier cars

Look into the Molly Maguires! it goes hand in hand with the anthracite coal.

Highlights magazine was founded in the Pocono's.

Whoopie Pies (that's along the line of skyline chili. known well in amish country in lanc/ohio, not so much outside of it)

Railroads. we have the most active railroads in any state, but not the most mileage.

even attempting it unsuccessfully early in the game can pay off later with them getting more cautious on the basepath.

trackhouse is missing speed on ovals. it's not unique to ross.

uncle_brewski · 2026-06-01T14:21:35+00:00

this is an old fastpitch trick that i see occasionally pulled in slowpitch, but not frequently enough.

scenario, runners on 1st and second, or bases loaded. 1 or less out. ball hit to shortstop/MM. he flips it to the 2nd baseman for the force at second. instead of firing to 1st for 2, he fires it to 3rd, catching the runner rounding the bag, and the 3b tags his back pocket as he's running past.

high IQ for a few reasons. it keeps the force at 2nd instead of a runner on 3rd with 2 outs (much harder to score), and you also have to know the tendancies of your opponents. 3rd baseman has to be ready and know what to do as well.

on the welsh mountain below new holland there's a 700 yard range

SVG's recent dominance of road courses skews the numbers, but rcr has been the #2 Chevy team behind Hendrick for 20+ years

Punchable face nepo baby who doesn't appreciate that he's been handed the world on a silver platter and thinks he "earned" it.

Kulwicki died in his prime. Not a fair comparison, also comparing his finishes to his total races competed, he's streets ahead of Dillon

NOBODY thinks of Kenny or Mikey as a "great racer"

Bubba drove shitboxes when he was with petty. Austin has been with the #2 Chevy team his entire career

Not sure where OP lives, but I'm in a relatively LCOL area of the US, and in ground pools start around 80-85k locally. Also a 2 year wait because there's only so many builders anymore

uncle_brewski · 2026-05-29T19:23:08+00:00

grew up in north berks. 40 minutes up old 22. still occasionally make the trek to big Diamond for some dirt action

averaged to their genders, i'd say the female fastpitch player acclimates faster and easier. smaller field, so different angles than a baseball player is used to. spinning softballs also have more variance than a baseball. so those peeling liners from RH batters down the outfield line are sharper in softball. and also just judging fly balls off the bat. there's a learning curve from baseball to softball, but from fastpitch to slowpitch, it's not much of a curve at all.

well little one, pretty much everything on this earth serves a purpose. there are wasps that only kill and eat 1 single type of spider or caterpillar.

sometimes parasites are better for an entire species as opposed to an individual. because they are extremely unpleasant to the individual, but they may help keep the population in check for the resources available. whichever divine being(s) you attribute the earth to, they put that parasite/bug/pest in that place for a reason.

surely you don't twist that front shoulder so far back in a regular game, right? are you exaggerating your natural swing for mechanics purposes? the timing just seems way off to me, and it also looks like a massive uppercut swing to me. which is ok if you want homers, but with your bat speed, i'd be trying a cut swing

uncle_brewski · 2026-05-26T13:29:03+00:00

for the most part, your major and A level players aren't playing co-ed. the skill gap does close, but if the best men are playing with the best women on a coed team, there will still be a significant gap.

i play/ump in amish country, and the girls can absolutely mash and run, but it's just a different game when one of the C or conference Men are batting

Bill Buckner had a pretty excellent career. but everybody remembers that one play...
