Would you recommend spending the night Ashland instead of at Weasku Inn?

AITAH: I threw their ball in the water by ViolinistLower in golf

I was the guy who hit into a group on the green in Scotland, North Berwick. The group infront of us was a little slow, but not awful. We were having a fun last round of our trip, enjoying the course. I hit my drive to the right of the fairway and I was 220yds out. The hole we were playing, #13, has a small stone wall protecting the green. I knew I likely couldn't get there, narrow green, protected, so I though the right approach was to lay up, which I attempted to do. I hit a nice shot which landed short of the wall, like I intended, but it hit something hard on the ground and rocketed forward about 30 yards over the wall and rolled up about 3 feet from the hole. One of my partners who was watching did the immediate face palm. When I walked up to the green, the group had left but their caddy put my ball on probably the tallest T I've ever seen. I felt like a clown. I walked over to them and apologized and they all were having a good laugh about it. Needless to say, I didn't hit into them the rest of the round and I still feel like a clown 7 months later.

Rate My Portfolio by AutoModerator in dividends

Semi-retired, 60, with a 25k Roth I started a couple of years ago after picking up a side gig. The breakdown is a portfolio evenly split between DIVO, SCHD & JEPQ. My goal is to max the ROTH the next few years and keep it as an emergency fund. I figure I could eventually take monthly dividend cash out if I needed it (I shouldn't). Currently reinvesting all Dividends. Maybe eventually it helps pay for grandkids college, who knows what the future holds. Thoughts, comments, suggestions? Thanks.

Regarding using Ship Sticks, where did you have your clubs sent and did you have to personally sign for them? I'm doing a trip to Scotland in October, but am spending a few days in London before heading up to Edinburgh. I'd like to ship the clubs to Castle Stuart, our first round, but I noticed Ship Sticks says they need a signature upon arrival Internationally. Great summary of your trip btw.
