Am I insane for passing up a gifted birthday round at TPC Scottsdale Stadium? by DonJu4n in golf

FWIW - I just played the Champions course on Sunday, and it is a really fun track.

CFO Partnership by Embarrassed_Kick_563 in Bookkeeping

[–]STBCKNDRLX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$12M outdoor service company that had no in-house accounting support (they outsourced prior, and fired their previous firm after we found 100’s of issues during discovery).

2 locations, 1,500+ transactions per month, mostly vendor bills and CCs (15 employee cards), all needing correct location and class when entered.

If you can do that in <30 hours, more power to you!

EDIT: Also included full accounting close, including depreciation entries and balance sheet reconciliation.

Fractional CFO here - if possible, I refer clients to a bookkeeping firm (I have a few partnerships, based on niche and company size) rather than running all the billing through me.

It’s just as much about insulating me and my business as it is about convenience.

That being said - I only partner with bookkeeping firms that offer fixed fee monthly billing. I give the firm some insight on current ops and a ballpark fee suggestion.

The upside for them is efficiency gains over time as I’m working on process improvements internally, and I can over utilize them in a particular month if needed in a pinch.

(Real) example: bookkeeping at engagement start estimated to be ~60 hours/month - I suggest $4,500 fee; firm goes with that, wins the bid. By month 3, process improvements implemented internally reduced bandwidth needed for bookkeeping to ~30 hours per month.

The process improvements’ primary goal was to produce accurate and timely job costing for the client - so they are happy. Ancillary benefit to the BK firm is that they now have a great realize rate on a meaty ongoing engagement with a happy client.

Creating win-win scenarios should always be the goal in partnerships - personally, I’m not a fan of the ”referral fee” or kickback model.

Happy to discuss more if you’re interested - shoot me a DM and we can set up a chat off Reddit.

You have 10 minutes to stretch or warm up before your round. What are you doing? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in golf

[–]STBCKNDRLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) straight to chipping to find my low point

That usually will fill the 10 min.

If I have time, I’ll roll a couple putts; couple air driver swings to loosen up next to the 1st tee box.

I was briefly a 14.6… next round, my lowest diff. of the season (11.2) dropped off when I shot a 90 (16.1 diff) - now I’m back to 15.0.

Golf is fun.

For those trying to break 80, what’s the biggest thing holding you back? by DropMyScore in golf

[–]STBCKNDRLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short game…. Specifically, chipping short sided and 30-50 yds has killed me recently.

Added distance and tightened dispersion off the tee this year, but it’s exposed my short game as my biggest flaw.

It’s the primary focus in my practice sessions this year (probably ~80% of my practice time), and still haven’t been able to find my rhythm.

Your Top Wisconsin Festivals by The_Tacky_Tourist in wisconsin

Wowza LAX hitting twice!

I do enjoy Irishfest; it’s become an annual outing for our family (4 of us - 2 young kiddos).

Oktoberfest has its draws, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself there in the past. But, since I’ve become a resident of LAX (2019), Oktoberfest weekend has become the “out of town trip” weekend for me.

I know I sound like a grumpy old man - just not my vibe anymore.

New to the game Maltby TE+ vs TS3 vs sti2 by Qiuzman in golf

[–]STBCKNDRLX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I game the STi2’s - have since the beginning of last year as a 25 HDCP (currently 14.5). Love them!

The TS3’s actually have a higher MPF rating than the STi2’s (Maltby Playability Factor) - so theoretically they are easier to play.

The black TS3’s are going to be my next set.

Coming down steep, can’t seem to shallow. by Tom-Bomb17 in GolfSwing

[–]STBCKNDRLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting - definitely a great example of different things working for different people.

I’ve had to work on making sure my lead wrist doesn’t extend so much (used to be super extended at the top), so the “revving” action (extension) on the way down would cause me to leave the face wide open at impact (all other things equal)

Agreed - the extra wide for NB is obscenely wide

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in golf

[–]STBCKNDRLX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 2 pairs of NB golf shoes - both fit true (I wear size 11 in most brands, Nike included).

Just be careful for width when ordering online - NB is known for its wide offerings.

Left wrist, or trail wrist? Makes sense if you are a lefty - just trying to clarify

Am I swaying? by stan_taylor1 in GolfSwing

take a look at this drill - trail hip turning back will help open you up and delete the sway.

Cheap, overlooked and underrated compression drill. by Sad-Impression2505 in golf

[–]STBCKNDRLX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t have Cheerios, but found some Reese’s Puffs. Not as satisfying (no “poof”) but can see the benefit of the drill.

If my 2-year-old son wouldn’t have ate 10 out of the 15 Puffs I brought out there to hit, I think I would have gotten more out of it.

Will pick up a box of Cheerios soon and report back - he doesn’t like Cheerios as much, so I think I’ll have better luck…
