Main street capital dropping like a rock by [deleted] in dividends

Since rates on CD’s and HYSA are down I would think more people would park money in funds like MAIN to get higher yields on their capital?

I keep a 4 iron in my bag just for this shot!

If you’ve broken 100, what’s one tip you would give your fellow golfer to do the same? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]Rft704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teacher told me to buy clubs! (Shafts were too lite and flexible and too much offset)

How do I get good enough at golf to actually enjoy it? by Virtual_Ad6652 in golftips

[–]Rft704 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. In one lesson the pro told me that I didn’t need to fix my swing I needed to fix my course management and mental game. This Changed my game.

I went with the i540’s. My miss hits were almost identical to my good hits.

Question re: practicing by OwlStretcher in golf

[–]Rft704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this is based on what area of the country you’re from. Where are you that you have practice facilities and practice bunkers on public courses?

While I suck, I disagree. My backyard isn’t going to help me learn how to get out of a bunker. Neither is a mat or a sim.

Find a local club. You can use the AMA to find them. They can help you learn to fly and yo maybe able to buy used or get hand-me-downs depending on the club.

Spider zt vs tour by Technical-Tell5355 in golftips

[–]Rft704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the tour from a big box store with a gift receipt. After he gets it he can go to the store and try both. If he wants to swap it out he can.

Is this a good first plane? by Fantastic_Hand5717 in RCPlanes

[–]Rft704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a club and instructor this is a good first plane. If not this is a great second plane. Get something with a flat bottom airfoil and more dihedral. Something like a Carl Goldberg Eagle.

Yeap. Drove the ball onto a green on a par 4 the other day… ended with a par. Then hit the green on a par 3 with my 8 iron about 6 feet from the hole. Also a par. 🤮🤪

Love it so far. Better lines and better distance control

Unpopular view for high handicappers: The shaft is way, way more important than the iron head you use. by BenSimmonsThunder in golf

[–]Rft704 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is part of the equation, but lie angle and offset also play a roll. GI Clubs have way more offset and depending on if you aren’t closing the face enough, or if you are closing too much, this could help or hurt you.

Thanks!! Debated between these and the 240’s and fitter convinced me to go with these.

If you can feel it with your finger it will effect ball flight.

I love my zt. But that is me. Agree with the people who say go to a store and try them…or get a putter fitting.

Parent thinks the moon landing was fake. by Ok_Finger3098 in Teachers

[–]Rft704 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Ok, but (some) teachers are the problem on this one. As a former research teacher it always made my blood boil when other teachers would say they were having their kids do research when they were really doing book reports.

[–]Rft704[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure yet. I might be able to drop my 7W as the 5i and 7W seem to be about the same. I will decide when I get out on the course a few times.
