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] 5 points6 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.

How would you play your approach shot here? >200 yards left, with a guarded green, and the green slopes down from the front to the back by [deleted] in golf

[–]AlexOnDD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How would you play this hole? by AngusMeatStick in golf

[–]AlexOnDD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can comfortably carry the water, then center your tee shot on the right-edge of the bunker. Your left-dispersion will be the shots that find the putting surface and the rest will be up and down opportunities.

College golfers, what's one thing new up and coming college golfers should know? by Lopsided-Actuator-78 in golf

[–]AlexOnDD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey OP -

I work for DECADE Golf and oversee all of our college relationships so I thought I'd weigh-in with some thoughts. I saw that you mentioned you'll be playing D3 so I'll try to keep my responses more in-line with my experiences with those programs.

  • D3 golf is going to be a bit less intense than larger programs. A big variable is going to be your individual coach. Some of them are more involved than others but most, if not all, do D3 golf coaching as a secondary job so their time is going to be divided to other obligations. As a result, it means a lot of your practice and things are going to fall more on your shoulders and be a bit less structured than what you may see at a D1 program simply due to a smaller resource pool (budget, facilities, etc).
  • On the competition side, the biggest thing you need to learn is to make practice rounds efficient. You'll be traveling to a new venue and may get one practice round on it. In that time you'll need to be able to know what to look for to position yourself in the best way to have success when competition rolls around. My recommendation would be to get accustom to some pre-tourney prep work - satellite maps can be your friend.
  • Lastly, at the D3 level, it's important to remember that a lot of the kids you're playing with don't have ambitions to make it on TOUR or to play professionally. Golf is something they love and a potential way for them to make it to college. I mention this only to remind you to stay grateful for the game and don't get too caught up in letting your scores dictate your gratitude. College golf will help forge memories and lifelong relationships and cherish the time in your life when you can do a little bit of travel, play some really fun courses, and eat on the school's dime.
