re: #7 green at City Park in BR
Posted by Modest on 4/2/24 at 1:39 pm
The #7 green is very frustrating. I've hit some of my best drives into this hole recently but I'm consistently 3 putting my putts that, literally, break 3-4 times.
But really, other than that I've been happy with City Park. I can play 9 holes for $8 walking during the week and get just enough of...

Take it from someone who plays this course entirely too much. Those are far and away the best greens on the course. Get to hole 7 and question everything you know about what a "green" is.
LSU is great as a slump buster. Course is quite open, and if you accept that putts aren't going to drop like...

I picked golf back up after a 5 year break. Putting was horrendous and convinced myself that I needed to make the move from blade to mallet, and that would fix everything.
90 days later, I'm very grateful that for the 90 day buy back guarantee for Callaway Golf Pre-owned. It's back to the Yes! C...

I have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours in Slay the Spire.
Once it came out on iOS it became a mainstay on my home screen. I'll put it down for a few weeks or a month and forget about it, then pick it up on a whim and find myself playing constantly for a few more weeks. Even if card ...
re: Paradym Irons feedback needed Update- converted
Posted by Modest on 10/13/23 at 11:36 am
I did a Callaway fitting and found the Paradym irons nice and effortless (and insanely hot. They go stupid far). I'm typically a Stiff, but I actually got fitted into TrueTemper Elevate 95 in Regular. It felt amazing. So light, and my ball flight was much higher. Spin rate too....

Yeah sorry if I implied that I’m a high handicapper. I have played since childhood but stopped after high school. So I’ve gotten back into it in a big way this season and I’ve got the bug bad, but I’m starting to feel limited by my very game improving irons and randomly acquired clubs from middle sc...

[quote]they fit you with pretty much the latest model of everything so maybe you could take the results and purchase a previous model to save some money[/quote]
This is more of what I'm talking about. I fully intend to replace my 16+ year old bag. It's just that I'm not prepared to spend 5 grand ...

Have you even done a fitting through them?
I'm currently working my way through a 5 lesson pack and am hoping to do a fitting at the conclusion of those. But I know my budget for new clubs, and I am basically 99% sure I won't be able to spring for a...
re: I know it’s city park course and I never expect much
Posted by Modest on 7/12/23 at 12:01 pm
[quote]Played Clark Saturday for the 3rd time in a month. It was crowded. Played 18 in about 3:45, which is slower than I'm used to, but given the number of people out there, not terrible. Greens look really nice, but are not fast and do not hold shots very well. But I'm OK with that, as they are l...
re: The Island course condition
Posted by Modest on 6/1/23 at 3:56 pm
Played a week ago. It's in pretty decent shape, although my perception of decent is really being morphed by the local publics currently. I've played The Island, LSU, and City Park in the last 2 weeks. LSU is somehow worse that I remembered a few years back, City Park is in very rough shape and you ...

Any pipe smokers around anymore? I’ve converted from Cigars in the last year or so. Still enjoy a cigar, but the ritual and flavor of a good pipe is just better for my taste. Wish we had a proper tobacco shop that tried to cater to pipe smokers a bit more....

The idea is to hire the guy for the post/Satan era.
I think he’d be great with the right staff. Guy is incredibly personable and could recruit this state in his sleep. ...
re: Metal Guitarists,who Inspired you the most?

What are the 3/4 best Metallica solos that were Hetfield? Genuinely curious what your picks would be. I’m a Kill Em All / Ride the Lightning type of guy so those early Hammett solos sounded so fresh back then. Still can’t get enough when the mood is right. ...
re: Did a reverse sear last night
Posted by Modest on 7/5/21 at 8:32 pm
Charcoal or gas? I’m new to my Weber kettle and I’ve been trying to nail reverse sear but I’m struggling to keep the temp low enough to do an effective low and slow on the indirect side, but still ripping hot enough to sear at the end. Been using B&B lump.
