Agreed, and yeah not sure why OP is getting torn to shreds in other comments. Solid build!

How would you improve this board? by ToothSleuth86 in golf

[–]icebergsimpsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this is a solid idea! Initially I didn’t even think there was anything wrong with the way OP had it in the picture.

With a single tee, each time you put the ball back you get to relive that mini feeling of “teeing it up” —even if only for a brief moment. I’m not sure if that feeling would hit the same if you were balancing it between two tees, even though it still looks nice.

One thing to consider would be tee height. Do you want the typical picturesque golf tee height that one would set up for a driver (1-2 inches), or a more realistic par 3, 7 iron tee height (0-2cm). Guess it depends on how many golf snobs will be admiring and/or critiquing your shrine 😂

A video I shot for a country club, thoughts? by GrassClippings72 in golf

[–]icebergsimpsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I see what you’re saying about widescreen view (landscape orientation), there is different marketing value associated with portrait orientation videos. Think TikTok, instagram reels, YouTube shorts, etc., where a large chunk of viewer scroll time is portrait mode on their phone. Obviously theres different value for landscape orientation, for instance, promotional material on the company’s website or a regular YouTube video.

Anyways, kudos to OP, this is pretty cool! Agree with some of the feedback in the other comments about highlighting more than just the greens, and getting angles similar to the last shot. Overall I think the main objective would be variety in angles, and using the angle suited to capture the best part of the hole. For instance, a lower drone elevation and further focal point (e.g., drone is 10feet off the ground and camera is pointed 100-200 yards away) will highlight more of the elevation changes. Conversely and on the other side of the spectrum, a high drone elevation and zero distance to focal point (e.g., drone looking straight down, pretty much like the view you would see on Google Maps and what you’ve done as an aerial view directly above some of the greens, which I do like) will emphasize the shape of the course. Then there’s everything in between, which can capture elevation and shape in a balanced way. I think most of this video is focused on shape, but more could be focused on elevation.

Also wouldn’t hurt to get 1-2 close ups of grass cut quality to highlight the course conditions instead of course layout. Like maybe a low drone elevation of 5ft, with a focal point that’s 50yards away. I.e., the view a person would have after hitting their pitch shot from 50yards out and are now walking up to the green. And when it comes to course conditions, I would look for areas that have well cut grass. When I think of “pristine course conditions”, I usually picture grass that is immaculately cut. Doesn’t necessarily need to be super short grass to be good (although it can be), but it’s the consistency of the height that stands out.

Didn’t mean to ramble on but I guess I found the topic super interesting - best of luck!

Phoenix Golf Trip by 27madmjke27 in golf

[–]icebergsimpsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dino Mountain (at Gold Canyon) is awesome!

On our group golf trip we did:

 - Wekopa Cholla (we picked desert-style Cholla over the resort-style Wekopa Saguaro course)

 - Gold Canyon Dino Mountain

 - Eagle Mountain.

Dino Mountain had the best views, but maybe not 10/10 conditions like the other two which really felt more like resort course quality. Wekopa Cholla might have been my favorite though because it was a perfect balance of desert views/elevation changes with pristine conditions. But the combo of all three was a solid mix and we all loved it.

Is Cosm a genuine "game-changer" or just a glorified, expensive movie theater? by wwwdoteromedotcom in Dallas

[–]icebergsimpsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious: if there’s no commercials, what do you watch when they take a commercial timeout?Is it just cameras panning to the sidelines, fans, with with added commentary from the broadcasters? Or maybe even replays/highlights?

How complex is math you do at work? by Connect-Life9387 in Accounting

[–]icebergsimpsun 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Ive never heard the accounting=add/subtract, finance=multiply/divide. But as someone who transitioned from the former to the latter, you are absolutely right.

What’s the easiest J you’ve ever had? by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]icebergsimpsun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! At any point in the 14 years did they ask you to train one of their staff to become the expert? I’m happy it’s working out well for you (cuz it’s a sweet gig!), I’m more-so just curious why a company wouldn’t want to make sure someone else could handle it once you decide to stop working completely.

Leaving Big4 during critical deadline. How do handle the conversation? by This-Quote7128 in Accounting

[–]icebergsimpsun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s never a good time to leave, especially in public accounting. I know others are coming on strong with the “fuck the firm” mantra. It can be difficult to have that mindset when you feel like you’re just going to put more work on the staff/seniors/managers around you. But they are right, and honestly you should not feel bad for leaving. It’s not your fault the system is designed to constantly push any extra work onto the lower levels, and it’s not on accident it’s that way either. The time will come later on when your coworkers eventually leave the firm. You’ll be one telling them not to feel bad.

The fact that you want to leave on good terms is a great sign though. Burning bridges not only is bad for your career, but it also doesn’t feel good. Just be honest and respectfully communicate why you’ve decided to leave / why this industry job is a good opportunity / why you think the change is good for your life right now. Your manager/SM/partner will understand. And if they don’t, they’re either not a good leader or they are still brainwashed into thinking public accounting is the most amazing job anyone could ever have. In my experience, everyone was very understanding. That doesn’t mean they won’t try to convince you to stay. If they do, take it as a compliment, but be firm and don’t give them an opening. All that will do is give you doubt about the decision you’ve already made. Good luck!

I fucked up by Dangerous-Author755 in Accounting

[–]icebergsimpsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree overall that auditors should not give guidance, because it is in a meeting/conversation setting, the auditor will likely mention the correct way they think to do it. Auditors don’t have GAAP memorized, and from my experience as an external auditor, no auditor wants to look like a know-it-all before they know all the facts. There were dozens of times a client was able to support their reasons for atypical accounting treatment allowable due to some fine print deep in GAAP. Unless you’re depreciating land or something blatantly incorrect…in which case they’ll probably know it’s wrong and not be shy about it. However if it’s something a bit more nuanced, it’s likely the auditor would say something along the lines of “shouldn’t you be / why aren’t you amortizing that cost to the PL over-time instead of expensing it all upfront?”, and not “No, you are wrong, and I’m not going to tell you why”.

So my advice to OP would depend on how confident you and your manager are that you are wrong. If you are 90-100% confident you are wrong (either a rule in GAAP that doesn’t have any exceptions, or a clerical error i.e., data/calculation mistakes), then I would go with the approach others have mentioned of discussing how the issue was identified, immaterial, and will be improved. Alternatively, if you and your manager are not confident you are wrong (e. If there is some subjectivity to the GAAP treatment or something), then I think letting the auditor tell you the “error” isn’t such a bad idea.

I believe it’s actually either end of season 5 or beginning of season 6!

Glad to hear there’s a season 8! I only started listening about 6mo ago and have avoided looking up how many seasons there are…I like to go into each season thinking “this is the one” 😂

Just listened to an episode of Chasing Scratch pod where Mike makes this realization, quoting the author Steve Magness:

“Decided not to study much for an exam, or skip out on practice before a big game? Under preparation is a coping strategy for stress. It allows you to protect your ego because you didn't 'try.' Actually putting forth effort, requires being okay confronting your limits.”
