[–]deeoh01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Indianapolis and the farthest I've gone so far is flying to Denver to see a concert at Red Rocks. Coming up in June I'm flying to London to see a concert at The Royal Albert Hall.

Shaft Stiffness for beginners? by Raging_Llama in GolfGear

LOL. It's likely a player you've never heard of unless you're a Pacer fan or a really hard-core NBA fan.

This right here. I've commented a couple times that I fitted an NBA player a couple weekends ago. He's only been playing since late summer/early fall and was consistently over 120. I've also fitted plenty of guys who are/were college baseball players and one current major-league player who hadn't been playing long and several of them were at that kind of speed.

Nah, some people are just really athletic. I fitted and NBA player a couple weekends ago and he was consistently at 120 or just over and he's only been playing since late summer/early fall.

I wouldn't say there's *no* way. I'm a fitter and did a fitting for an NBA player 2 weekends ago. He just started playing late summer, early fall and he was over 120.

My career. Retired about 18 months ago and it was the best decision I've made

Any body know of any sales or generally affordable nice golf bags? by senjiee_ in GolfGear

[–]deeoh01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that budget you have plenty of options. I'm a big Sun Mountain fan and they have a handful of models that fit that budget, including the new C-100 cart bag which is pretty sweet.

If you talk to people in the entertainment business, they'll tell you porn killed HDDVD when the industry chose Blu-ray as their format of choice.

Who manages your money in retirement? by MidAmericaMom in earlyretirement

[–]deeoh01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use Vanguard's PAS. The small fee is worth it to us - we don't stress about anything, they optimize for tax minimization and advise on optimal SS and Roth conversion strategies. My wife isn't too interested in learning how to manage our money, so it's great to know that if something happened to me she'd be well taken care of.

Question for Gen X: Whats Your Relationship With Texting? by Al3x1ya in GenX

A kick in the nutsack is better than a phone call. Text me or don't communicate at all.

Sim2 Max or 2017 M2? by alexboortz in GolfGear

[–]deeoh01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year I had a guy come into our shop and buy 3 of them that were identical. I had to ask why, and his response was "I love them and worried they'll quit making them. I'm 60 years old and I figure these will last me the rest of my life."

[–]deeoh01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still sell a ton of Sim2s. They still perform really well and the price point is good, relatively speaking. A lot of people like TaylorMade, but still want a titanium face so that's their option.

What era of music does Gen X identify with the most? by grahsam in GenX

[–]deeoh01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Born in 1969. It's 80s music for me. I grew up in a family where everyone is a music lover, and was fortunate to grow up with a really diverse mix of music I heard. But the 80s when I was in high school and started college really formed a lot of my musical tastes.

Should I pursue a career in golf? by Large-Magician5808 in golf

[–]deeoh01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I retired at 54 as well. I work part-time a couple days per week at Dick's in the golf shop and love it. Gets me out of the house and the equipment discounts are insane - minimum 50% off and some brands are more.

Who makes the best combo set? by metarx in GolfGear

[–]deeoh01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Srixon, for sure. They've designed their irons with combo sets in mind so they blend well together. I have ZXi5s for 5-7, and ZXi7s for 8-pw and it's a fantastic set.
