re: Weber Summit Kamado grill
Posted by Bigryno7 on 6/14/25 at 8:09 am
The Weber Kettle can do just about anything, however it is not as efficient and over time you will spend more on charcoal.
However, IMO the efficiency of the ceramic grills are why I think the food tastes better off the Weber Smokey Mountain or kettle. You get more airflow, which in turn puts out a better bark. I typically run my Big Joe 3 hot for that reason.
I have them all, BJ3, Joe Jr, Smokey Mountain, 2 Kettles, and they all put out good food. Was originally looking at the Weber Kamado but at the time there just wasn’t a lot of info surrounding them.
I think they are all great grills in their own way and the ash management system of the Weber Summit makes it a great choice for an all around grill

re: Mini-Drivers

It’s essentially a 2 wood. I bought the GT280 and am loving it. Goes far but I can also hit it well off the deck. However, success off the deck with this club is due to fast swing speed.
The other mini drivers have a much larger footprint and will be hard for most to hit off the deck as well if you are average or below swing speed. Best to use tee only. Just my 2 cents.

re: Getting back spin on chips
Posted by Bigryno7 on 5/6/25 at 10:16 pm
#spinloft the Joe Mayo technique works well for spin on the ball. Use a lob wedge and make ball first contact. Look up his technique and try it for yourself. The wet winters here in Nashville made me move away from “using the bounce” as much. It’s an easy way to flub a shot. Ball first contact ensures you won’t chili dip it 3 feet.
When it’s nice out and the course is dry, using the bounce and chipping overall is much easier. However, if I were to choose one technique in all conditions, it would be the Joe Mayo technique.

re: What's the worst part of your game currently?

Short game. Nashville winter sucks and everything is always muddy and requires perfect contact. Always sets me back. By May/June my short game comes around just in time for something else to fall apart.

I agree about the dad. I kept telling my wife how big of a pussy he was. How do you not fight for your family. Step up and be a frickin man. He is almost as much to blame. Absolutely made me want to bitch slap his candy arse watching that.
re: How many hole in 1's do you have?
Posted by Bigryno7 on 2/28/25 at 6:02 pm
Ive been playing for 25 years and don't have any. Ive been so close multiple times. My latest was a 9 iron from 160ish that hit the edge of cup and flag and shot 30 yards off the green. I bogeyed.
I barely have any roll out when the ball hits the green so I have always felt it limits my chances. I hit the ball pretty high.

re: Putter Suggestions
Posted by Bigryno7 on 2/15/25 at 7:35 am
Many like the lab but I just can’t get over not having much feel off the face. Could not dial in distance control.
Odyssey AI One putters have a nice feel off the face. Not too soft, but not too firm. I rotate between a Jailbird CH and a Betty BB1W.
Go putt around for a while at a store and something will grab your attention. My rule is to come back another day to see if that particular putter still sings to you.
Any putter that you can start online, and finish around the hole with good distance control will work. They all get the job done.

re: Spring is around the corner, what are your golf goals for the rest of the year?
Posted by Bigryno7 on 2/13/25 at 9:06 pm
To get back healthy. Having knee surgery tomorrow so I’m hoping just to get back on the course soon.
I was coming off a Member Guest 1st place finish at GCOH and playing some of the best golf of my life recently. Looking forward to bouncing back even stronger!

re: Hitting it heavy/chunks

I was going to add this. You can slightly lift the right heel on your backswing. Seems odd, but the best ball striker in the world aka Scottie Scheffler does it.

Trail leg, weight on inside part of the foot, never have pressure on the outside.
I tuck my knee inward slightly and that helps to keep pressure where it needs to be.

re: Looking for a good stand bag
Posted by Bigryno7 on 1/20/25 at 7:24 pm
I have a Vessel that’s been amazing. About $100’over your price range. But it’s a players stand bag and is perfect size as a combo bag. Little heavier to walk, but you can do it.
My walking back is a Titleist carbon. It’s smaller but can hold a good bit of stuff. It’s pretty light at 2.9lbs. I use it in the cart as well and it’s fine.

5 Gallon Pot of Rice only-Any tips?
Posted by Bigryno7 on 12/20/24 at 6:17 am
Need to make a lot of rice for a 20 gallon gumbo. Any tips for cooking rice in a 5 gallon pot? The pot is flat at the bottom like a normal cast iron. My plan was to cook the rice as I would on my stove? Any other tips?

Try a 5h or a 4h and see which one works best.

I am not a ping guy. However, I purchased a new set of Blueprint S this year and I’m really digging them. Super consistent and all around great irons. I have no complaints.
No shot I would hit the drivers though. They are fugly

I don’t personally have one, but heard the Masterbilt Gravity Series is great. Sounds like it would be perfect for your needs.
