CoopGolfs

Traveled out to Cali for business this week, decided to play a little golf…no one told me that guys read green differently in Cali.

I’m one of these dummies who uses my 58° for just about every shot around the green. Yesterday I hit a pretty amazing recovery to the fringe on a par 5. For eagle, had a perfect uphill (super easy shot) bump and run. Said oh I’ll grab the 50° and let this run out up the hill. Bladed the hell out of it. Made bogey. 58° or die.

I met a guy on Facebook marketplace while trying to buy an Ohtani card. He told me his life changed course on April 3 so I said please explain. Said he was down to his last $15 and wanted to buy some sleeves at Gamestop for his cards at home. At checkout he finds out it's buy 2 get 1 free! There's a pack of baseball on the counter, so he throws it in Sleeves 2.99 Sleeves 2.99 Sleeves 0.00 Topps Heritage Baseball Fat Pack 6.99 Total 14.33 Topps publishes their odds online. Getting a "red ink auto" from a fat pack is 1 in 5,099. Getting Ohtani's is 1 in 581,286. The math says to buy the sleeves, the man on house money doesn't have to listen. We negotiated a price and when we met up we ended up chilling for a bit. Told me he spent time in prison after making some choices he regrets, got a diploma in there, won a prison basketball championship. Right after he pulled the card he was planning to sell it to buy a bunch of Pokemon and football. Said he changed his mind and was going to renew his license, reactivate his phone, save the rest, maybe a few packs I bought the card raw and sent it off for grading. A few days ago he texted me from a new number, said he got the phone reactivated. Today the card came back from grading and I shot him a text to let him know. He replied that he could drive over to celebrate. Well played my friend
