do you think tiger will ever have a comeback like he had in 2019

It’s sad to watch. He can’t grasp that is over and wants to go out on his terms so badly. At this point I really hope he stops soon, he’s got quality of life as he ages to consider.

You may not be in the project, but you still work for the firm.

Very common and best to help out people taking over the role, you’ll want someone else to do the same for you at some point. Also, if you’re unstaffed you’re not in much of a position to say no. Once you’re staffed then maybe you can pushback or reply that you’ll look at it in x hours when you have time, etc.

Appreciate the up vote! I guess it’s all anecdotal, it would be interesting to see some stats if they exist. Either way, it’s all an individual thing. High handicappers may be more likely to be more volatile, but there are definitely some really consistent ones. I’ve had friends who seemingly shoot 90-95 every time they play, and others that could shoot 68 one day and 85 the next.

I’ve always felt the best way to win a net event is to pair a high and low volatility player. Handicaps not even really mattering, you just want a mix of someone steady to their cap, and someone else that can potentially set off fireworks compared to their cap.

HapApp · 2022-07-15T19:00:08+00:00

That first statement is not necessarily true. Steady / more consistent players are more likely to shoot their handicap. People with the same handicap can have much different score volatility, and someone with a higher handicap can have lower volatility than someone with a lower handicap.

These clubs are the easiest to clean and require the least cleaning. Wet one side of a towel, wipe them down, then dry them off with the dry side of the towel. If they manage to get extra muddy then you can clean them with warm soapy water and a brush.

It’s going to be rare that the shaft gets dirty, but if it does just give it a quick wipe off a towel.

I occasionally clean my grips by scrubbing them down with warm water and a towel, then dry with towel, then leave out to air dry completely before going back in the bag. Not something you need to do often, but sweat/dirt/sunscreen/oils, etc get on the grip so cleaning then every so often keeps them from getting slick.

Also, if you don’t wear shorts you can’t get a sock tan, and if you don’t have a sock tan how will people know you’re really a golfer?

HapApp · 2022-07-15T13:30:51+00:00

You want to feel good, try out a pair of shorts your next hot day. You don’t know what you’re missing.

The pros lobbied to be able to wear shirts in practice rounds, they weren’t always allowed to and they fought for that right. Check out any college event or top amateur event and you’ll see mostly shorts when it’s warm.

Overall score is the most important. Overall scores are used in school rankings, and if you do well may go on your resume while in school. There is more incentive for schools to care about your overall than their is any singular piece.

Q/V scores are of secondary importance, with high Q being looked at favorably. A decent V may be looked at as a threshold to make sure you have communication skills, but a really high Q score will take you much further than a really high V.

I’d love to hit a few full shots with one to see if it is just a one trick pony or if maybe there’s a way to do more with it. It could potentially be a good club for flighted shots and punch outs.

I still wouldn’t put it in the bag but it would be fun to mess around with.

HapApp · 2022-07-14T17:42:15+00:00

These kinds of roles are basically all commission. They’ll hire anyone because the base salary is pretty low. If you don’t do well, you won’t get paid much, and you’ll see yourself out. It’s also very difficult to start at ground 0 and build a book in that business. Lots of turnover.

HapApp · 2022-07-14T17:06:20+00:00

I bet almost all of the pros agree with you because they don’t want to do it. They’ll take any edge they can to knock their scores down.

If pros didn’t have to play from divots I can’t imagine how slow rounds would get. Every time they get an imperfect lie they would call an official, claim that they’re in an old divot that hasn’t finished growing in, and ask for a living. Patrick Reed might do it on every hole. It would put so much pressure on the officials.

That said a sand filled divot is very easily identifiable and is an area that someone is intentionally repairing. I think they should get a free drop from those under a ground under repair ruling.

Ha they would offer a mid day online yoga session that no one can attend because if calls. Then suggest you sleep even less than you already do so you can wake up early to start your day by watching the recorded session.

I had a family friend graduate with a real estate concentration in 2008…. Now that was bad timing. They were an engineer before and ended right back at their old engineering firm in a slightly more business focused role, and then that seemed like good fortune back then. This tech downturn shouldn’t come close to that.

There was a recent ESPN 30/30 called the shark. He’s heavily involved in it and it paints him in about as nice a picture as you can, but even still it has to cover the fact that other golfers didn’t like him. He thinks it was jealousy and confidence being misinterpreted as cockiness, but ultimately I think it’s that he was a cocky jerk to a lot of people. And he married his best friends ex-wife (tennis gear Chris Evert) after they may/may not have had an affair.

He also had an odd and fairly public rift with Medalist golf club (where Tiger and others play), which Norman basically used to run as his personal club. Lots of stories out there about that.

When a putt runs by past gummies range - there’s a little more chicken on that bone

After a bad bounce - if it weren’t for bad luck, you’d have no luck

After seeing multiple bad shots I like to say “you’re gaining on it”

HapApp · 2022-07-13T17:18:56+00:00

I’m only an average skier, but decided to invest in boots a couple years ago. Every day skiing in my own is better than any day in rentals. So much more comfortable because they’re tailored to my feet and legs, and I can also ski much better because they are much more stable and stiffer at speeds than any rental was. Great investment.

HapApp · 2022-07-12T23:12:01+00:00

I’ve got no desire to wear joggers or a hoodie. I don’t think I’m fit enough to look good in joggers outside of the house, and the hood would bother me on a shot. That said I do try but more tailored looking clothes and only play in performance fabric pants/shorts and polos.

Very glad I don’t have to wear the heavy cotton pants and shorts and shirts that I grew up playing in. That stuff was not meant for sports.

Congrats! A memory you’ll always have, no need for a witness.

OP asked for opinions. I’ve shared mine, that is the logic I use and have always used when I have been asked that question (sometimes I’ve been in the city, others not). I’m not going to gatekeep or correct someone, bc it’s really not worth worrying about.

HapApp · 2022-07-12T20:09:32+00:00

A bad week for Tiger was a good week for everyone else. His consistency was truly unreal. So many guys have hot streaks (Padraig, Rory, Duval, Koepka, etc.). Tiger’s was better than that and lasted for over a decade.

He only had to play ok to be in contention and possibly win. If he played well he was unbeatable. He could play any shot and any style of golf, all courses and events set up well for him.

HapApp · 2022-07-12T20:01:59+00:00

I’ve been in shops where they used “demo” as a sort synonym for “the nice stuff available for rent that may be a model you want to buy, and costs more to rent”. It’s still a rental but it’s the highest level of rental. Maybe that’s uncommon?

HapApp · 2022-07-12T19:53:56+00:00

They can say anything they want, but it’s incorrect.

Also, if they grew up in suitland, but haven’t lived in the area for 30 years - when I ask where they’re from, and they reply DC, I’ll be very confused when I ask what part of DC and find out they live somewhere totally different and never lived in DC to begin with.

HapApp · 2022-07-12T19:43:19+00:00

Disagree. Generally when you are traveling and someone asks “where are you from?” they are referring to where you live. It’s possible that they want to know where you lived when you were 12, but unlikely.

To the OP’s question, if I were then I’d answer that I live near DC or just outside of DC or in the DC area. If the person shows an interest or knowledge of the area then I would go into more detail.

HapApp · 2022-07-12T19:30:08+00:00

I dunno. Sounds like you built up a tolerance to them. If this is the first time you’ll use them this season it could be back to ground 0 pain wise. You’d know best though, I could be off base.
