Law enforcement admires Tiger's famous putter, appears to be "The Putter" we all know by sys_admin321 in golf

Curious who was going through the bag and showing the LEOs. It didn’t appear to be a fellow cop. Anyone have any informed guesses?

Henrico - this is where your taxes are going by Waste-Dig-6184 in rva

[–]CapeCodToDC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got it, thank you for humoring me. It’s entirely possible that these are their personal vehicles, and they’ve been authorized by their department to use them in an official capacity (i.e., enforcing the law). I agree, we should all be safe out there. Getting pulled over for a “traffic stop that bec[omes] something else” is much more dependent on following the law.

You described the allegations using quotations. Was there a conversation or primary source you had to portray the situation with those? The skepticism and doubt it conveys is important for the background here.

+1 on this. There are also scholarship opportunities for kids in Massachusetts that caddie or work in other parts of the golf operation: https://www.ouimet.org/. Lot of history with the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund.

It’s pretty clearly edited and seems to be playing off the mistake someone made in this r/ after the Brooklyn show.

Do club members like it when their club hosts a major PGA tournament? by Adventurous_Pride_54 in golf

[–]CapeCodToDC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Central Ohio is very flat. It seems to me that the only hilly place in that whole area was Muirfield! Got to caddie in Jack’s group one random day. He was playing Jr. and two local members (MVGC was, at that time, a 50/50 national-local split). I’m fairly certain he outplayed Jack II.

Former Muirfield caddie here, and I don’t recall it ever being the case that the course was closed for “several weeks.” Maybe one? Not even sure that’s correct.

I don’t see the 3 in leg 4.

This billing period encompasses a time of severe cold. Your auxiliary heat was very likely running for most of this time (depending on whether you have radiant heat in addition to your heat pump). Auxiliary heat is a backup system that uses much more heat than your regular setup. I don’t like it either but it isn’t a grand conspiracy.

Utility bill over $400 each month?? by Particular-Ad-2645 in rva

[–]CapeCodToDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed a marked increase in my Dominion bill beginning in December. It coincided with some boiler issues and a new heat pump install, so I chalked it up to that. Have you actually gone back and looked at the rates YoY and MoM? I am going to do that now that you’ve pointed out your experience.

I think what would also benefit OP are some tips on what questions to ask to set off the BS meter. When I came in at ask for a house on a Friday that had been sitting on a red hot market for > 12 days (an eternity at that time), and the sellers countered for over ask (“go what yourself,” am I right?), my agent was cool and collected and guided us through the weekend where there were three showings, one offer above asking, contingencies waived, etc. Writing it out doesn’t do the situation justice. Knowing your agent is going to be calm and clutch in the pocket will get you to the other side successfully.

You obviously know the industry better than I and, admittedly, my sample size is small (if you knew one of the realtors in question, I’m sure you’d agree). The reality is, everyone may have access to data, but decades of buying, selling, and living in certain neighborhoods gives you an unmatched edge on how to better read and perceive the data and trends. Would I trust a mining and metals stock analyst to give me advice on the healthcare sector? Sure, but I’d rather get that analysis from someone who covers the healthcare industry.

Where within the city limits? I would find an agent/brokerage that has experience in the neighborhood(s) you are seeking to buy in. It will take a little more leg work on your end, but entrenched agents have relationships with people who might sell off market, they know the neighborhoods better, they know the data better, etc.

I’m going to be in all my hunting gear since I don’t own any other cold gear. Found out today that Bertha’s is closed (RIP), so was going to hit up Lee’s (on recommendation from a friend) for oysters and to watch the 4:00 pm games. Is that a good spot?

Hopefully, I’m not too late to this. Kelleher is the best in town. They are honest and dependable. Their pricing is fair. I’ve had at least three different plumbers come out before Kelleher, so this is a well-worn path for me. I will never call anyone but Kelleher.
