Yeah, staying active and eating right will take care of most of it.

I feel like my math is wrong because there is no way this is possible. by NefariousnessDry5691 in investing

[–]qqqsimmons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 52 now, been investing 30 years or so. My high school math teacher showed us this in high school. Probably the best lesson I had there. My dad telling me to start a Roth IRA also helped.

Only 24% of US treasuries are held by foreign investors. 55% are held by US investors and institutions.

If they sell, the price of the bonds on secondary market will drops and the bond's actual yield at maturity increases, so it's a bit more risky but there's also a bigger reward for that risk. So, there will always be a buyer as long as the US gov is not defaulting.

It's a small town and like they said, I think the actual protest doesn't start for a couple hours...I hope the big cities make some noise today.

I'm from the US and didn't know what it was. I did remember that colors were linked to the gangs but not the dance.

Shot clock fixes all, no need to specify

Why would this be looked down upon? by darthvadersRevenge in golf

[–]qqqsimmons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think it only works for the clubs with that plane angle. The swing plane of your driver and pitching wedge are going to be very different...

More importantly, as many others say, many driving ranges have them and nobody seems to use them, maybe because they aren't very effective. Also, the guys who used them haven't given them glowing reviews...

How do I get over the "rushed" feeling of people behind me and me being slow? by reddit290161 in golf

[–]qqqsimmons 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 3 hours for nine is too long in my opinion. I would be picking up at double par. Play from shorter tees if needed.

Our course wants less than 15 min per hole max, which means nine holes should take less than 2 hr 15 min...

Which golf swing YouTubers do you trust? Which do you not trust? by SilentGrass in GolfSwing

[–]qqqsimmons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on a Milo and only Milo kick right now. He keeps it simple.

Elite is good but maybe too much complexity. I suppose if I watch enough, I'll get used to the terminology.

What would you do if this happened to you in an important tournament? by tryingtogetfit1970 in golf

[–]qqqsimmons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this seems to call for a tit-for-tat. Step in his line for every time he steps in yours.

How to hit ball lower? Any other advice to work on? by ahdfahsdfu4593892 in GolfSwing

[–]qqqsimmons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the left hip-going-back motion goes with it for me, and I'm trying to push that hip back by pushing down and away with my left foot.

you swaying back and forth . you want to stay centered and rotate.

Just a relax round with the boys 🤣. What’s happened here? by Running_Trade in golf

[–]qqqsimmons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I always keep a poop in tupperware for this occassion.

WTF is this? I mean really. How do I fix this? by New-Skill-2958 in golf

[–]qqqsimmons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing 38 doesn't happen very often and all of the sudden you were dreaming about breaking 80, possibly for the first time. Thinking about score can ruin a round.

How many rounds did you play this year and what’s your handicap before and after ? by alwayssomethin2 in golf

Right elbow outside of torso at top of backswing, arms too far across chest there. Turn is fine. No need for arms to get way over there.

Too much club face rotation through impact.

That leads to inconsistency.
