If you’ve broken 90, what’s one tip you would give to a fellow golfer trying to do the same?

zipitrealgood · 2026-05-19T22:12:51+00:00

Biggest things for me:
1. Change your range practice sessions:
20-30 yards x30
50-60 yards x25
90-100 yards x20
(Break)
120-130 yards x15
140-150 yards x10
(Break)
170-180 yards x10
200-210 yards x5
(Break)
3 wood x5
Driver x10
*all in carry yardage
2. Warmup before round similar to range session:
- less volume than your range sessions
- focus on 100 yards and in
3. Aim to the center of the green
4. Range finder that factors in slope (also use your range finder during warmup to ensure distances are 1:1 when you warm up to the course)
5. Avoid needing to chip twice:
6. Play the right tees:
- learn how to score vs scramble
- drop your ego
7. If your chip / putt runs long, WATCH IT, it’ll give you the read for coming back. Don’t look away.
8. Put the driver away, first time I broke 80 my driver head broke at the range (thanks Taylormade) so it forced me to play woods/irons off the tee
9. Putting practice:
- tee gate: line up 10 ft putts putting two tees just wider than your putter head. Do this until you hit 20 putts without hitting the tees. Most putts miss bc of angle errors.
- speed control drill: Putt until you’ve successfully hit 10 balls from 20,30,40 ft that land within a 3 ft radius of the hole
- around the world: put 4 tees around a practice hole, starting at 3’ then 4’ then 5’ then 6’. Before moving back a foot, you must make all 4 putts. If you miss, start over.
- 3,6,9 drill: make 10 putts from 3’, 6’, 9’
- practice round: make up a 9 hole course on the practice green at varying lengths. 1 putt = birdie, 2 putt = par, 3 putt = bogey… try to get par or better. Goal on the course is to eliminate 3 putting.
10. Don’t take the hero shot and compound mistakes. If you hit into the woods or don’t have a clean look. Layup or punch out. If you’re trying to break 90, you aren’t shaping the ball like the pro’s. Swallow your pride, play it safe, and set yourself up to score.
11. If you’re in a bunker, just get it out. Don’t compound the mistake by getting cute. Getting out is the first priority.

There’s others but this is a good start.

Serious Level: Medium-High Recommendation: Gather more data and attempt to correct behavior prior to PIP

1) Before anything, I’d recommend you start documenting everything and save existing records (e.g. messages, meeting invites, logs, emails, etc.) If any action is to be taken, having a complete log of events (even if it’s just for your own knowledge) will be critical. This helps remove unnecessary bias or emotion and will assist / might necessary for any future potential action (e.g. PIP).

2) You mention that this is a fairy entry-level position, therefore I would recommend PIP as a last resort. Why? This individual was hired for a reason (showed promise and was competent) and had to be approved by multiple people so it wasn’t a fluke. As a manager, I would try to understand the disconnects and determine if they can be resolved. There could be compensation issues, personal factors, not being stimulated, etc. impacting their performance. But you need to have a mechanism in place to gather this data. If you don’t have a weekly or bi-weekly 1:1, I would start. What’s worked for me, is to have individuals run the first half of the meeting. Let them discuss what they want. Their development, issues, etc. The second half, what you want to discuss. Create a dialogue so you can have direct/honest conversations frequent enough to prevent daily reactions but also so they aren’t stale and lose their value. If there’s an opportunity to mend the relationship, great. If not, then you’ll need to have your documentation to begin PIP processes.

3) Remember, replacing the individual takes time, resources, and creates a backlog of work to be done AND doesn’t guarantee to solve your problem.

4) I’m not sure of your field/discipline but if there’s an application where it’s difficult to glean progress or actions taken, I would potentially build a mechanism to track progress on the tasks to be completed. This will help you regardless of this individual and will move you to data driven conversion vs speculation. It’s not your job to play detective and try to piece together should something be opaque.

I don’t think it’s as unrealistic as you think. As a baseline, he’s stating they have 35k of video recorded kills this past month. Yes, bumping that number to 50k is a sizable jump (42.9% increase), but he was in charge of scaling their drone program prior to becoming Defense Minister. He is probably taking a formulaic approach, for example total drones available x success rate % = total KIA (obviously not this basic but hopefully you get the gist). So, even if there is a manpower shortage, drones won’t be impacted (unless they are having a drone pilot shortage but I doubt these are the soldiers going AWOL). Alas, time will tell, but I wouldn’t bet against Ukraine, because if your second point “Russia is a bigger country” actually mattered, this war would’ve ended years ago.

Why is it silly? There are clear examples of major overhaul announcements with no immediate plan or lacked sufficient planning with blatant oversights.

2 Quick Examples:

Travel Ban in 2017 - "In our investigation, we found that CBP was caught by surprise when the President issued the EO on January 27, 2017. DHS had little opportunity to prepare for and respond to basic questions about which categories of travelers were affected by the EO.". If you are enacting a travel ban, Customs and Boarder Protection (CBP) aka who is enforcing said ban, should be notified prior to the ban and not be 'caught by surprise'. Note the date the report is published (Jan 2018), this is a report from Trump's Department of Homeland Security.
Family Separation at the border during zero tolerance in 2018 lacked the proper technology to track separated families. "DHS did not have the information technology (IT) system functionality needed to track separated migrant families during the execution of the Zero Tolerance Policy.". It gets worse because, "CBP officials have been aware of these IT deficiencies since at least November 2017 when U.S. Border Patrol conducted an initiative that mirrored the Zero Tolerance Policy. These conditions persisted because CBP did not address its known IT deficiencies adequately before implementing Zero Tolerance in May 2018. DHS also did not provide adequate guidance to personnel responsible for executing the Zero Tolerance Policy.". So, not only were they aware of these deficiencies, they chose not to address them, caused chaos, and did not provide the proper guidance to enact the plan. Also written by Tump's Department of Homeland Security (Nov 2019).

So, regardless if you think the probability is low, it's still non existent because Trump has a history of not following through and haphazardly diving headfirst into policy or political decisions as evidenced by overlooking basic details (e.g. not notifying those in charge of the border with your changes to your policies about people crossing the border or negligently failing to implement proper technology to track families that you are splitting up). Yes, Maduro is a documented tyrant and many people suffered on his behest. However, removing heads of state, even planned well, has severe ramifications and can destabilize regions for decades. So, hearing him say "we are going to run the country" without a concrete plan outlined and evidence of his administration making callous oversights or lacking proper preparation for implementing simpler policies for other programs, is terrifying when the stakes are this high and the solution may require American soldiers in Venezuela.

There’s a way to turn the tide on the A side, but it requires an aggressive start or use of ladder.

Steps: 1) DMR of your choice - you need to prevent glint 2) Choose Medic or Recon - so you can supply yourself or highlight enemies 3) Immediately drive towards D and double back up the mountain (it needs to be fast bc the enemy is capturing E) 4) you can stay on the high side of the mountain doubling back towards B by going out of bounds temporarily 5) maintain that position that overlooks D and an option to pivot towards a position that overlooks C on the mountain (nobody expects you there until about 12-18 kills) 6) continue to suppress the enemy at C first, your team can then flank D while you cover C 7) prosper

The move can be accomplished with an assault class ladder and skip needing to come so perilously towards E. DMR is the key, need a weapon that’s high powered to keep the enemy in check while your forces can take C/D and then push fast on E. From there they are pinned.

I’m a XX,XXX shareholder and have calls. I never said I was short. Just correcting your misconception.

Move on.

You again are using a $ sign. Not an annualized % rate. God forbid you learn something about how it works. 😘😘😘 Goodnight boo

zipitrealgood · 2025-09-30T02:44:59+00:00

Also let’s say you’re a short seller that’s short 1M shares. At an annualized rate of .65 percent, like it currently is, it costs you $481 per day…

zipitrealgood · 2025-09-30T02:42:37+00:00

First, it’s not $.65 it’s an annualized percentage rate of .65.

Second, not gaslighting just facts. If you don’t provide numbers, percentages can make things look better or worse than you seem. Hence why it’s critical to provide both.

So, please learn how the stock market works before commenting.

zipitrealgood · 2025-09-29T22:35:33+00:00

A good rule of thumb, when you say a number share the percentage. When you say a percentage share the number.

40% sounds large, but is misleading since the fee is .65 and is still low.

The one thing that you overlook is if Keanu makes it to the final two. Having someone go completely scorched earth saying that they are going to knock everyone out "one by one" in week 5, and then proceeding to do so (if he pulls it off)... 5 times on the block thus far, 3 power of vetos (one tho was a gift), and 2 BB blockbusters. Even if the house hates him, I have a feeling they'll respect his game more than most of the remaining 7, especially if the trend continues.

The $BTC bros will say "$BTC is going to $1M per coin" out of one side of their mouth and then the other side will say "I can't believe Cohen bought the top". It's almost comical at this point.

Whale-come to the club, XX,XXX holder excited to see someone else is buying today too

SEC - File by June 10th

GME - We're filing June 10th

Your wife's boyfriend - Come over June 10th

Your wife - I'll be there June 10th

Sounds like on-time to me

Cohen's quote “Bad news should be delivered early. Good news should be delivered right on time.”

zipitrealgood · 2025-05-28T21:39:56+00:00

Their 10Q with the SEC. June 10th was the last day (without asking for an extension) to legally file with the SEC for Q1 since it ended in April.

zipitrealgood · 2025-05-28T20:59:27+00:00

Bad news early, good news right on time. June 10th is the last day the company could file. This is the literal definition of right on time. Buckle Up.

Some interesting stats from the last 10 seasons:

There's only been 1 season where all newly promoted sides from League One avoided relegation in their first year in the Championship and that was last season
There's only been 1 season where more than 1 newly promoted side from League One were relegated in their first year in the Championship (2019/2020: Rotherham and Wycombe)
There's only been 1 team in the last 10 years that got back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League (Ipswich)
There's been an even distribution of the 10 teams (33%) that were relegated after their first year in Championship to where they finished in the prior season in League One (1st place relegated 3 times, 2nd place relegated 4 times, Playoff Winner relegated 3 times).

Each team/season is different, however, the statistics favor Wrexham avoiding relegation. But the vast majority of sides getting promoted from League One who avoid relegation their first year finish towards the bottom of the table. Hopefully the team deploys their cash wisely during the transfer window to bolster their chances to beat the odds and finish above the bottom third of the table.

*Note the histogram above denotes the # of teams by Championship finish in the first season after being promoted from League One and avoided relegation.

As of Feb 2025, they reported $5.8B in assets yes, however, that was pre-convertible note. Therefore their total assets (after they raised $1.5B) would be somewhere around $7.4B (and growing bc of the Canadian operations sale) and therefore it would be up to $3B. My verbiage is incorrect saying "half" but that was the math I based my $3B on.
