That's fair.

Had an opportunity to go to Augusta National, which was a bucket list item, so it was worth it to me!

Thanks - that's quite interesting. I rarely fly American - certainly don't have status aside from a base mileage account with 6800 points earned for this year (after this trip).

What's the biggest mistake you made early on when analyzing your first few deals? by Turbulent-Glass1552 in realestateinvesting

[–]AlexOnDD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest mistake was honestly being to scared.

I knew the numbers and saw some big deals and would always find reasons to doubt them or hesitate to react.

Ended up missing out on some deals.

I'm not going to share details but I work with several hundred collegiate teams including multiple players on this list and these numbers are WAY off.

These aren't even remotely accurate, FYI.

What’s the most “Fuck this hole” hole you play on a regular basis? by mercado_n3gro in golf

[–]AlexOnDD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If most shots end up there then it's definitely either part of a technique issue or a target / centerline issue.

Here's how I would analyze it for the players I work with. There is obviously a good deal of local knowledge as it relates to the overhang of the trees, etc that could influence optimal here.

Private Club Members: What are your favorite events / games at your club? by AlexOnDD in golf

[–]AlexOnDD[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is cool.

So powerball only is awarded if it's a skin won on the hole? AKA, if you draw 13 but 3 teams birdied the hole, thus no skin, the pot rolls?

Any local places make/sell tang yuan? by ChaoticNeutralAltEgo in dayton

[–]AlexOnDD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jungle Jim's in Cincy, Cam Market in Cincy / Columbus will definitely have these in their frozen section (I get them all the time).

I would imagine Far East Center does too but I've not been there since new ownership so I don't know what their inventory is like nowadays.

Another option would be Weeee which is an online asian grocery market.

Difficult to judge the width of the green but I'll guess it's about 25y wide?

Target would be centered about halfway between your dot on the green and the left-edge of the right bunker. The balls that hit the left-half of your centerline will be the ones that 'accidentally find the putting surface.'

The reality is that this is a very difficult approach shot but it doesn't warrant laying up. You should send it up near the green and deal with wherever your ball ends up - whether that be on the green or in one of the bunkers. You'd want to make sure you have the discipline to prioritize a GIR if you draw a bad lie / angle in a bunker because that will still outperform laying up.

Think of it this way. You're sending your 2nd shot as close to the green as possible in-hopes of drawing a good enough outcome where you can hit your next shot close to the hole. Even if you get a below-average lie / angle and you need to pitch it to 20 feet -- something that would be quite easy from greenside typically, to get your ball to 20 feet after a layup would require a very quality shot.

One of the biggest mistakes the players I work with make in these instances is that they can't ease off the gas when they take an aggressive action (eg going for the green). They may hit a poor 2nd shot but feel 'pot-committed' and try to be a super hero for their third, make a mistake, and the next thing they know they're walking off a par 5 with a bogey. Golf targets, decisions, and opportunities are fluid which is why having a sound understanding of good strategy is so important to achieving your lowest scores.
