More interesting what's the deal with golf game. :)
Well, I played golf few times, but found it extremely boring and stupid. But somehow such inactive and stupid sport have kind of wealthy people game image. I don't really understand why. Game is cheap, boring and don't demand any physical or intellectual skills. Soccer, f.e., from the point of view of player is much more entertaining and competitive. Even ping-pong or tennis are way above golf from any point.
What's with that game? How could it get its image of game for wealthy? Why wealthy people are obsessed with this boring and uninteresting pastime? Is it kind of some masonic rithual hidden under the kind of sport, or may be I don't know something about roots of golf, say, originally it used gold balls and silver clubs that had to be used to kick the gold ball into the throats of dead slaves or heads of decapitated enemies? Some background I'm not aware of due to cultural differences?
PS: Sorry, forgot about witch hats. IIRC, they had a small hole at the end, so witches put them on the pot with boiling potion or smouldering shit and use the hole on the top to inhale wapor or smoke to get high and do their witch things. Kind of European Middle-Ages version of bong for weed. :)
a) Having choice implies being one within whole...golf tempts one to gamble on the chance of a hole in one. An inversion.
b) Using a club to hit a ball into a hole represents an infertility ritual.
c) "The average size of a golf course is between 100 and 190 acres." + "The U.S. military owns 146 golf facilities in 40 states, the District of Columbia and 11 overseas countries, according to the nonprofit Operation Support Military Golf."
That's a lot of private space concealed with little effort from public scrutiny...
d) "Don't let the grass grow under your feet"...a sleight of hand for idleness, which destroys potential (life) during procession (inception towards death).
e) Golf aka gulf...a recess (life) in-between two promontories (inception/death). Another inversion casting life into an abyss aka into a recess (inward indentation in a line of continuity).
hey crazy russian.. try out the wgt world golf tour game.. it's fun. I got on there when it first started was like a couple courses.. here's my profile.
Check out my score history.. games and stuff. Try it out.. it's pretty fun. Try to figure out how the beat the illuminati at their own game. lol. I can.. I can do "par". lol.
Here's some tips.. if you have a wind from the side.. don't click like from the middle, on the side the wind is going. You wanna click to hit the ball.. like on the side the wind is coming from. That's the biggest tip I can give. Otherwise.. if it's windy.. like let's say the wind is like 20 mph from the left or something.. you gotta click on the left side of the middle ding where it shoots.. if you click on the right.. it goes way right with the wind. haha.
I figured this game out, man.. Tested out wind deviations.. like do practice course.. flat.. wind to the side.. so no wind, eh.. well what goes on with "height". Also putting.. lol.. putting downhill. I'm categorized as a "master". You're an expert, lol.. "hacker".. well.. try the golf game.. see if you can get par.. hahahah
Thanks, but I don't like computer games that simulate things I could easily do for real. :) I just can't understand, what's the point. I have a good golf field near me, only 50km/30miles avay, so why would I play golf on PC if I could just drive to real golf? Especially taking in account that PC is more a tool for me than a toy. If I have some free time, spending it with computer will be the least option I'll choose.
Well, actually golf is playable only 5 months a year here, but there is also many winter entertainments too. Starting with cleaning paths and road from a sudden feet of snow in the morning. Best fitness ever, even with snowblower, and it's free! :)
From the other side, I have to admit that writing computer golf game could be a pretty interesting thing, from the implementation od realworld physics simulation point of view. I could imagine myself writing computer golf game as self-entertainment, not playing it. :)
ok I got a tip.. I got my first computer in april 1997.. it cost like fuckin what was it, eh.. i'll do a post about that next.. It was to get like groceries delivered.. lol.. 3900 bucks in 1997 for the lol.. you know the deal.
golf.. i played it for real.. went to this field complex around here.. by the railroad tracks.. up.. so nobody from the road could see you. So you got like a US football field.. not soccer.. then a baseball field past that.. and another baseball field. I check the google maps for that area.. The US football part was like.. 100 yards..
I brought my golf bag.. lol.. early morning.. nobody on the whole field.. I tee off, eh.. whole bag of cheap golf balls from walmart.. lol.. Then you go over to the other end.. and try to shoot them back between the goal posts. It was lotsa fun.
But yeah.. I'd go to "driving ranges" where you pay and get a bucket.
That, on my own, on the play field there.. that was good..
What I learnt though.. with "golf swing".. it's not like "baseball swing". lol.. what you want is the damn club to be in the same spot, right.. so if you're moving your arms all over the place.. it's bad.
The biggest key I found from those tests.. is.. you gotta keep that stuff "straight", while you're swinging back. You can try the "baseball swing", eh.. But it's bad.
If you watch like ok golf guys.. they keep that left elbow kinda like not moving around all that much.
The biggest key, I can give you about golf swings.. is not moving your arms around like baseball swings, ok..
I figured out golf like how I did lately, with beating the illuminati at sports betting.. lol..
Here's what's going on with golf swings.. I had to keep my "torso twist" more than moving my arms around. You know what I mean.. So just kinda swing back and it's a "torso twist", more than moving your arms around. Try that in practice tests.
Well, I made my first computer in 1990. Sinclair ZX Spectrum clone. In 1997 I already had few PCs and notebooks. Usually bought used ones for cheap, often broken, fixed them, and used.
Then you go over to the other end.. and try to shoot them back between the goal posts. It was lotsa fun.
IDK, shooting cans from shotgun or even pneumatic handgun exite me more. May be just not my game inherently.
what you want is the damn club to be in the same spot, right.. so if you're moving your arms all over the place.. it's bad.
Kind of. Hands are less repeatable, because there are too many muscles in them, so it is much more complex to command them all properly and precise.
That is why, f.e. in sport handgun shooting, they teach you to grasp a gun in your hand so, that you don't need to move your hand to look stright throgh the gun sight to the foresight. Gun should be positioned like it is a continuation of your strightened arm. And you just rise your whole hand and target is in sight already, you don't need to use dozens of muscles of hand to catch the target in sight, just rise your hand and shoot.
Same with golf. To hit the ball you need stright hand, then it's repeatable and less complex, so much precise, because you have to command only few muscles, not dozens.
Even hammering nails is much easier if you grasp hammer properly beforehand.
Didn't actually play baseball at all. In childhood, I tried to play similar game, "lapta", very old traditional Russian game, but wasn't succesfull in it at all. :)
When I grew up in the country during the 80's, we'd go to the dump and shoot stuff. A buddy had a double barrel shotgun.. when you'd shoot, it'd be like somebody punching you in the shoulder.
I later shot guns.. got a job driving armored car in the early 2000's. So I got a restricted handgun licence, here in Canada. I don't think you can get those anymore around here.
Once I left that job, I let the licence expire. Could have bought a handgun, but you'd wind up in trouble, in jail. Somebody could wind up dead. I was like.. naw.
But yeah.. I just looked up:
"can you still get a handgun license in canada"
Cause I think I heard in the news in recent months.. you can't any more!
"Yes, a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) is still needed to own and use firearms, including handguns, in Canada. However, there's a national freeze on the sale, purchase, or transfer of handguns by individuals, and on bringing newly acquired handguns into Canada"
Fuck, are they ever getting super uptight with that shit. Meanwhile, over the border in the US, it's like the wild west.
But yeah.. when I had that job, I was shooting a 38 special, so like a revolver. Didn't learn like the glock or type with a magazine in the end, like the movies. I don't know how those work.
But the 6 cylinder, I got the hang of that. At first, it was like.. off target, but that's cause you're pulling the trigger and it moves it over. You gotta squeeze the trigger a bit, re-line the sight, and then do the shot. Passed the bullseye target tests.
Also shot this Remington shotgun they'd have in the cab. You'd have like 5 shots in the barrel.. That was really soft recoil compared to the double barrel at the dump. That pump-action shotgun was nice too. Gotta watch it on the target though that none of the little bullets go off it cause somebody else could get hit.
Golf requires large fields, so it is very expensive, so only wealthy people can afford it, so this is why it became a game for the wealthy.
Other than that, it does require physical skill, if not, all the players would have about the same score.
Other than that, it is less physically demanding, so it's good for older people, and people often grow old before they manage to amass wealth, so yet another reason why is it popular among the wealthy.
Golf requires large fields, so it is very expensive
It could be the reason in Europe, but not in large countries like US. Here in Russia 18 hole field will be around $100 per person with all equipment rented for whole day. Not much, really. Ski resort or buggy racing will be much more expensive.
Other than that, it does require physical skill
I would say it require more aiming and movement coordination skills. And that skils develop pretty fast. Of course not everybody will reach the level when you kick a ball directly into a hole at 200 meters, or do that tricks with twists and using landscape, but everybody will be able to play.
so it's good for older people, and people often grow old before they manage to amass wealth
It could be good for old people, if not that small electric carts, that ruins possible health benefits of walk from hole to hole in fresh air. :)
$100 is 1/6 of median salary in Russia. An average person can't afford golf.
It does not work like that here. By that logic an average person in Russia can't afford most entertainments here or tourism. But people travel and entertain themselves without significant problems. And in huge amounts. Basically, only regularity of spending money for entertainment depends on salary, very little people reject it. Of course an average person with $600 salary would not spend $100 every weekend for entertainment (some will do, but they should be heavily obsessed with that), but could afford it once in a month without problems. Or, say, will pay for half a day, not for the whole day in case of golf if he likes that thing.
Of course there is people who live tight, say paying loans for cars, homes and whatever big purchases they did on borrowed money, counting every ruble, but they are not very common. Most people prefer to have some free money in their budget, than to be tight, even in exchange to the older car or smaller TV. Funny, that if you ask anybody about money - all will tell you that it'ss not enough and he they are short of it. But when on occasion same person came to someone birthday, or just barbeque, or participate in some group intertainment (weekend golf, f.e.) with you, then he will always be with a decent birthday gift, or with good food and booze, or with a sum enough to pay for entertainment.
skiing and buggy racing are also considered rich people sports.
Mountain skiing is a very widespread entertainment here. Doesn't look like average people can't afford that. It is mostly average people who are ski resorts visitors. Initially, when this business start to develop, ski resort owners build houses around artificial mountain, in the hope that rich customers will rent or buy them, but they are always empty even years later, despite the lines to elevators on mountain during season. And cars on a filled to the top parking near ski resort definitely doesn't look like cars of wealthy people. :)
Paintball games is also not cheap, but is very popular. And no, people I often played with, around decade ago, definitely were not wealthy or even solid middle-class. And it was even more expensive at the time than now, in comparison with median salary.
IDK, may be, ocean surfing could be named an entertainment for wealthy here, just due to the cost of tickets to the closest ocean beach suitable for surfing.
Playing this wgt golf game lately. Got on there years ago but they got bought by a company and changed the lot and it was bad. I checked the site the other month and those guys took off so it went back to how it used to be and that's much better. I'm the MulliganWilly up there.
Playing a round and some guy has this odd witches hat. Never seen that before. Got it as a gift at halloween. I had a free orange ball with the traces one year.
I was thinking about these witches hats.. like what's the deal with this odd shape. Betcha it does something in the occult. I don't know what yet though. Haven't looked into it.
Judaism.
