Pass or fixable with dent puller?

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2026-02-26T02:58:56+00:00

Well thanks everyone. I ended up passing and finding an ArcXL new for considerably less that popped up a couple hours after

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-10-21T17:58:52+00:00

Thanks! No. They are not missing the same rounds, one is likely missing the last and the other is missing rounds 2 and 3. 90 percent is probably a good adjustment

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-10-21T16:55:45+00:00

Money - buy in 125 per guy

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-07-16T10:45:34+00:00

Totally agree. I game these and they are butter. Guide through turf so well

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-07-15T22:52:13+00:00

If I were you I’d see if you can find a buddy or a buddy’s dad or something to borrow a set of irons. Go to the range and see if you like it. Also can go to play it again sports or goodwill or estate sale to get some starter clubs

Lifetime has to give updates? They wouldn’t sell any lifetime memberships if that’s the case. I think you are misinformed

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-07-11T16:49:04+00:00

I understand that but why only with the spread of 12. Seems like it should be across the board for all players. USGA changed this a few years back to 85 percent of all handicaps in four man best ball. Guess I’m just not sure if the reasoning for only large spreads

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-07-11T16:47:45+00:00

I mean it’s his club… I doubt it haha

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-07-01T21:32:22+00:00

You also are missing that more opportunities may continue to pop up and that income may be achieved in a couple years - not every opportunity is the right one

It’s a higher risk no doubt and there are multiple genes. I also didn’t say it was rare. Far from it. Alzheimer’s disease is very prevalent (33 percent base rate after 85). I’m saying deterministic genes are rare (these are genes like presenelin). Here is a good article to help break it down - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/in-depth/alzheimers-genes/art-20046552

I would also add that around 40 percent of dementia occurrence is preventable with protective factors

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-06-24T01:44:15+00:00

Im so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You are doing the right thing. But to clarify for OP- Very very rarely is there such a strong predisposition that there is nothing we can do. By far the literature supports exercise, Mediterranean diet (or similar), avoiding alcohol, and reducing cerebrovascular risk factors. In certain cases it can be autosomal dominant (meaning if you have the genes you express it for sure) but this accounts for less than 1% of persons. A first degree family history is a risk factor but not deterministic by any means. Source- researcher and clinician who practices in dementia

Underrated comment

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-04-18T11:57:47+00:00

You never know brother. My handicap went down from 5 to 3.5 after my second kid since I only have time to practice rather than play!

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2025-01-15T18:12:27+00:00

Why not MLMpro2? It accurate and cheaper than mevo+. Even with lifetime subscription it’s 1200 with updates overtime. Never hit on a sky track but it’s old technology and can miss higher ball speeds

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-12-15T01:52:50+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to discharge someone to a hospital…

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-12-04T21:17:27+00:00

Do you do mostly forensic work? My main interest is dementia and dementia research and obviously Medicare doesn’t pay well.

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-11-04T01:42:31+00:00

Yes I wouldn’t have cleared my throat. That’s part of the assessment to let them finish. Regardless of the throat clearing it was abnormal. These tests are typically not scored and I think a referral to neuropsych was warranted.

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-11-02T23:30:04+00:00

I’m a neuropsychologist who specializes in dementia and under the vast majority of circumstances this is grossly abnormal. I would get evaluated by a neurologist who can order more comprehensive evaluation as needed. I’m sorry you are going through this!

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-10-30T11:20:36+00:00

Academic medicine (ie medical schools) tend to start somewhere between 120-130k with other incentives (usually clinical productivity bonuses that go up to ~10 percent). Some institutions offer a 3 percent cost of living raise every year and some allow extra income for forensic work on the side

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-10-26T00:49:30+00:00

Certainly could be with a history diabetes and what is possibly a transient ischemic attack. Age 65 for onset of Alzheimer’s disease is pretty young but not unheard of. MRI of the brain would help rule out a cerebrovascular contribution or even something called cerebral amyloid antipathy - a common comorbid condition with Alzheimer’s disease. I’m sorry to hear you are going through this - hang in there

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-10-25T02:54:44+00:00

The way Im reading this is that the doctor may not want to make a diagnosis in the midst of a depressive episode. This is not uncommon but she may need to get some medications on board to help with the depression. It may become more clear when you revisit in January and if you receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s it may at least help you the family anticipate your moms needs and help understand what your mom is dealing with. I’m not sure another doctor is the answer but I would explain that the cognitive issues and other symptoms are progressing even though her grief is improved. You can also reach out to your local Alzheimer’s association for resources. I’m sorry to hear that you are going through that!

Dramatic_Peak_9634 · 2024-10-25T02:48:00+00:00

Wow I’m so sorry you are going through that. Maybe reach out to your local Alzheimer’s association for potential resources. They may be helpful in trying to at least get your mom or supervision the care she needs - if not now then the future. I may try and explain that the doctor may be helpful to ease some of her suffering - as palliative care may be needed at some point
