@iykyk999999 @ApexJones22 NDAs aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Once the news is out, it’s out. And good luck enforcing it.

@lawrencedonegan Dan Jenkins had serious purpose? Too funny. He thought the whole game was unserious.

Hard to believe golf media has "evolved" from Dan Jenkins and Peter Dobereiner, serious talents with serious purpose, to these two half-witted inadequates.
Blame the PGA Tour, sponsors like TM and adidas, and the players, who choose obsequiousness over honesty.

I blame all of you for allowing these two to be the faces of golf media

I’ve read every book on Tiger Woods and they all tell the same story. Pissed away everything because of macho fantasies and an insane infatuation with military training. He torpedoed his thirties, put unnecessary stress on his body and cost himself Jack’s record. Probably developed a drug problem too. Incredibly sad and frustrating.

@JohnLeFevre Never mind all the 80 year old dementia patients on the road in Jupiter. It was an accident. Everyone relax.

@therealmcnair Pretty weird. Jupt Island speed limit is like 25 mph. Perfectly flat, and mostly straight.

@RonDeSantis Big fan, but this is a bad take. You want to introduce a profit-motive for airline/airport security?

Is there evidence that creating TSA has made air travel safer over the past 25 years?
If not, then why not let the airlines and airports handle it?
Why give politicians the power to play games with the travel of our people?

@RonDeSantis Privatize @TSA since Democrats refuse to fund it. @SecDuffy @elonmusk @Delta @United @realDonaldTrump

@brianbeers It’s more about hitting the center of the club face than swing speed. John Jacob’s, “Practical Golf” is the only instructional book you’ll need to read.

my landlord raised my rent by $400 so i fed my entire lease to claude
it found a clause that means he owes me $6,200 in overcharges going back 18 months
his lawyer confirmed it yesterday
i wasn't even mad about the increase. i just wanted to see what claude would pull from 47 pages of legal text i never actually read
pasted the full lease and said "find anything that violates california rent stabilization law"
it came back in 90 seconds
→ flagged a habitability clause tied to maintenance obligations he never fulfilled
→ cross-referenced AB 1482 statewide caps + local RSO limits going back to 2023
→ found he applied a 6.1% increase when AB 1482 capped it at 5% + CPI (4% max under LA County RSTPO for 2024)
→ calculated cumulative overcharges across 18 billing cycles
→ cited Civil Code §1947.12 (AB 1482 penalties up to 3x overcharge for willful violations) + local RSO municipal code tying habitability breaches to withheld increases
→ drafted a demand letter with line-by-line breakdowns
ran the clause extraction through legal-bert and it hit 92% confidence on the payment term violations
sent the demand letter to his property management company on a tuesday
by the following thursday his lawyer called and said "the numbers check out"
total cost: one prompt and a 47-page pdf
i lived in that apartment for three years and never once read past page 4
my rent increase was $400, my refund check is $6,200
i'm keeping the apartment

@HeidiBriones Boston. Take away the college kids and it’s not even a contest.

What College Golf Is Actually Like
Most junior golfers dream about college golf.
Almost none of them know what it actually looks like.
After coaching at Duke and Ohio State, and sending 165+ players into programs across every division, here’s what college golf is really like:
1. It’s a job. Early morning workouts. Film sessions. Travel weekends. Team meetings. The romance fades fast if you’re not truly committed. You are an athlete first, a student second, and a normal college kid third. In that order, most days. The players who thrive treat it like a profession from day one.
2. The jump is real. The gap between the best junior golfer in your state and the average D1 player is significant. Prepare accordingly. The speed of the game increases. The courses are harder. The fields are deeper. Most freshmen are humbled before they’re ready to contribute. That’s normal. Plan for it.
3. You will sit the bench. Most freshmen don’t play right away. How you handle not being in the lineup defines your trajectory more than your talent does. Coaches watch practice players just as closely as tournament players. Nothing is invisible. The ones who stay ready when they’re not playing are the ones who earn the spot eventually.
4. The coach relationship is everything. You will spend more time with your college coach than almost anyone in your life for four years. Choose that person carefully. A great coach at a smaller program will develop you faster than a disconnected coach at a prestigious one. Ask hard questions on your visit. How do you communicate with players? How do you handle conflict? What happens when I’m struggling?
5. Teammates matter. You travel with these people. You compete with them for spots. The culture they create will shape who you become. Talk to the players on a visit without the coaches present. They’ll tell you the truth. The best programs feel like families. You’ll know it when you walk in.
6. Academics are harder than you think. Golf travel means missing class, managing makeups, and studying on the road. This is not optional. Programs that don’t support your academic success aren’t programs worth attending. Ask about graduation rates and academic support before you ask about the practice facility.
7. It’s a short window. Four years goes fast. The players who are present for the journey enjoy it. The ones always looking ahead miss it. Freshman year feels long. Senior year feels like a weekend. The players I’ve coached who were the happiest competed hard and stayed present. Both. At the same time.
8. Not everyone turns pro. The goal of college golf is not the Tour. It’s becoming the best version of yourself as a player and a person. Keep perspective. Less than 1% of college golfers play professionally. Plan your four years around the 99%. The discipline, teamwork, and work ethic you build will pay dividends for the next 40 years of your career. That’s the real return on investment.
9. The right division matters more than the prestige. Playing every weekend at a D2 program beats riding the bench at a D1 program for four years. Fit is the most underrated word in recruiting. Academic fit. Cultural fit. Geographic fit. Golf fit. I’ve watched players thrive at NAIA programs and wither at Power Five programs. The division does not predict the experience.
10. You have to want it. Coaches can feel the difference between a player who chose their program and a player who settled for it. Be somewhere you chose. Motivation borrowed from your parents doesn’t survive the first hard stretch of college golf. The players who last are the ones who chose the game, chose the school, and chose the grind. All three. On their own.
The dream is worth chasing. Just make sure you understand what you’re chasing.

@MultifamilyMad Depends on if his rent is market rate or not. Have him personally guarantee the lease and/or put some of that money from the sale in escrow that’s released after x years. He can get his price and you can get terms you’re comfortable with
