Lol! Well I haven't practiced the parrallel parking yet. Hopefully I'll be good at it. Of course there's only a couple of places in my little town to do it anyways.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

I just got the biggest dissapointment of my life today.

An old thread, but im bringing it back up.

I went for my roadtest today, and in Manitoba there are stickers on your liscense plate that indicate when your insurance for your car expires. As the instructor is evaluating the car to make sure all the lights are working, he says he will be right back and he goes inside.

He gets me out of the car, and tells me that the stickers are on the wrong side of the liscense plate, so He told me I couldn't do the test!!!! Like COME ON!!! I've been waiting for about a month now, and now I have to wait 10 days to take it again.

Aw...I'm sorry, but life gets even more disappointing than that.

I was blessed with amazing parents. They bought me a 1987 s10 blazer for $1000 when I was fourteen. It had a perfect body, just needed a fresh paint job and new divers side fender. The agreement was that I had to pay for the parts to fix it. The fender cost me $60 and the whole paint kit cost $150. This coming spring I'm going to sand it down and prep it for the paint. Been looking foward to using my new paint gun. None of this is hard for me to do because I've spent the last 8 years of my life working on cars and engines. I recently took up welding and body work and am getting a lot better. I'm also fortunate that my dad has worked on cars his whole life (46 years this month) and can literally fix anything as long as he has the tools, which he almost always does. I get my permit in March '09 and get my liscence in Oct. '09. My parent will pay one year of insurance and then I have too. Gas is up to me which means I have to get a job this March, which I was planning on doing anyway.

Actual Golf Quote: "It's not how you drive, it's how you arrive"

LOL because even though this is an old golf saying, it also applies to your driving! Drive safe and if you God forbid are about to hit someone, yell "Fore" or they'll revoke your license... Sorry for the cornieness, but it's a Saturday night and my parents and 3 and 2 year old are doing Kareoke on our "Magic Mic." The voices sound like someone let the dogs out...

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
