@patrickjkoenig We used experiencegolf.co.nz and they did a great job. All golf, accommodation, logistics etc

I am finding it difficult to find a reliable golf tour operator in New Zealand. Stood up twice and ghosted once when I asked for pricing. I am looking to book a trip and can’t find anyone to take my money. Can anybody help?

@permexpat Whixh health resort?

This is crazy, my wife booked this weekend at a health resort and the hotel cost was less than 500 aed/night...unheard of before this war

@LowAlphaHighVol @DRTnky 80kph max speed limit?

@DRTnky The level of enjoyment you get driving a car in Singapore: 0.1/10

POV: When you realise that the average price of a brand new car costs $160,000 in Singapore And you’re only allowed to drive it for 10 years

@MMcEwanGolf $40 a glove!!

JUST DROPPED! 👀 Some of the first accessories now live on the McLaren Golf website.

@LowAlphaHighVol @KarstResearch I was told if you are wearing a tie then you are the waiter

@KarstResearch Shiiiaaaat hedge fund CIOs didn’t get this memo. Seeing more and more hoodies tbh, in LP meetings

A hill I will die on is that if you are even within 200 feet of a client of the firm... wear a suit and tie. Blazer / Tie / Dress pants also fine. It is insane to me how little sense people have when it comes to dressing professionally. It matters.

@cointesterio @WatcherGuru They announced this months go but only got permission from regulator today

@WatcherGuru timing is interesting. UAE just left OPEC today and Citadel sets up shop in Dubai. someone knows something

JUST IN: 🇦🇪 Citadel receives regulatory approval to operate in Dubai, UAE.

@ukgolfguy Would love to see a ratio of summer green fee to annual subs for the members. 3-4 rounds at most would cover it I'd imagine

Here’s my annual look at UK summer green fee increases - Average top 100 green fees are ⬆️11.4% - over 3X the rate of inflation - The average top 25 course is now £407 (up 15% on 2025) Here's a thread with some thoughts. You can read it all on my blog too. 🧵1/12

@CasinoCapital I realised this when I had to spent over five thousand pounds making my flat suitable to rent out as it would be a hmo...six plugs in each room, emergency escape lights, changing wooden floor to carpet etc.

You'd have to be out of your mind to become a landlord here. Stamp duty ~= first 6yrs of rent. Almost 50% income tax on rental income. No deduction of mortgage interest, taxed on revenue. Cap gains when sell. Can't get rid of tenants. Rent control. Can't ever get your property back. Evict in the wrong way and you'll be fined 30 grand. Any eviction or rent increases can be challenged at tribunal. Now tenants can nick your property on the cheap. Quadruple council tax if you AirBnB it. If it's large, mansion tax is coming. New energy efficiency rules coming meaning expensive insulation upgrades (good luck with that on old listed Edinburgh flats). Oh, and despite paying all those taxes and giving someone a home, everyone will still hate you 🤣 Might as well just buy gilts...click of a button, no stamp duty, no CGT. "bUt whY arE rEntS sO hiGH??"

[Sigh] Just when you think Scotland couldn't get more communist, they pull another policy out the bag. "Under the plans, when the owner of the property decides to list it on the market, renters would be given a period of exclusivity to purchase it "at a fair market rate"

@LowAlphaHighVol asiafrontiercapital.com/afc-funds/afc-… Niche fund for you!

When Balakrishnan Global Macro Opportunities Fund?

@panicsellingxyz It’s been on the market a year!

$939K cut on a stunning Dubai Jumeirah Golf Estates villa 🚨 5BR. $7.6M → $6.7M. 9 days on market. Just cut into fair value — 12% off and right at comps. That's a seller meeting the market. ➡️ luxurypricedrops.com/dubai/?id=bayu…

@CasinoCapital Didn't realise they were still around, people stopped wearing them about three years ago

Bought another pair of Allbirds $BIRD in hopes of supporting my long, seems even a takeover can't help.. 😬 Great shoes btw, couldn't recommend these Tree Gliders more (maybe not this colour tho)

@ptuomov Geneva Airport is equally pathetic for wifi

THE SWISS CAN’T DO WIFI Another brief visit to Switzerland and the country is fantastic. I could see myself living there. However, they can’t do internet or WiFi. I’ve taken four Swissair flights this year and on 0/4 any of the US-based iPhones have had internet. Nobody with US iPhones got to even to the signup page. The Zurich airport has a ridiculous vending machine that takes you paper boarding pass and prints you a paper voucher that gives you free WiFi when you manually input the code into your phone. At the FBO, there’s an instruction placard how to connect to the WiFi and it’s both as extensive as a Mercedes S-class users manual and completely wrong. The staff had to spend ten minutes to get me to connected to some other WiFi. What’s next, a notary reading out the EULA required for connection? I was still tempted to stay permanently, might have if they had WiFi!

@tybo_95 Almost like he is finally over the injuries....

the signs were there with “paul waring.” if you didn’t see it, adjust your process.

@OnSpeculator @marketplunger1 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@marketplunger1 Now all they need to do is import sunlight 🤣

Solar panels will now be required on every new home built in the UK. Probably bullish for the solar industry (and silver).

@RickShielsPGA You when you played Earth course with your mate just after Xmas and held up a four ball the entire way round!!

What do you class as "slow play" in golf?

@Scots_Woe_Hey Council tax will become like HOA's in the USA, meaning some houses will be impossible to sell in the future. In 15 years that will be over 10,000 a year if keeps increasing at current levels

The news from my friendly local council has just dropped through the letterbox. £5,288. Maybe they can fix the potholes now?

@LowAlphaHighVol Who is +19% mtd?!

Pan Asia hedge fund returns in Jan and Feb have been insane, and we haven't even talked about March when the real fun begins!

@MattVincenziPGA Ballsy! They make it look so easy

@Fmacdonald1985 Left

Hell of a par save for Wolff on the difficult par 4 3rd. Now ready to take on what I think is the best hole on the golf course-par 5 4th. Less than driver, beauty that finds the fairway.

@londonHenryGB And they wonder why young people leave the uk.

Classically known as the “Tax Trap” between gross earnings of £100,000 and £125,000 your personal allowance is removed, £1 for every £2 earned above £100,000. With national insurance this band of money is taxed at 62%. Or 71% with a plan 2 student loan. An absolutely disgraceful marginal tax rate system in the UK. This doesn’t even factor in the removal of child benefit.

@david_h0s @totlsota Like the auction houses in London, have to be rich / posh enough to break in and survive on very shitty pay

Watching this show Endeavour - some British mystery stuff Some amazing names in the credits - real bangers: - Pooky Quesnel - Barrington Pheloung These names are awesome - my real name is so boring
