two chicks at once



Get a nice, reasonable 3000 sq ft home here in the Dallas area - gotta have a 4 car garage, I'm a truck guy
2000 sq ft vacation home in San Diego, and another in Jacksonville - have friends on both coasts, rent to my buddies to watch over and so they can enjoy cheap living, party with them when I visit
Diversify, invest 5 million in many different segments, most of it in very stable enviroments
Own a small business, maybe a pool hall - I'm a big pool player, and I always wanted a bar - have my friends run it and employ buddies when they are out of work, only goal is to break even
Take a shot with a coach - see if a hacker like me could actually become a pro player with good coaching and some athletic ability, as well as no time commitments
Take vacations with the wife, meet new people, and just do what I already do, but on a grander scale....

Bury it in a jar in the backyard. Jk

I would prolly do what a lot of ya'll are saying, by a modest house and vacation house, a nice car, and then put the rest towards my mom and dad, grandparents and close friends. O yea, I would buy some new clubs :)

1/2 would go into an education trust for relatives, 1/4 invest so that I could live off the interest with some left over for charities, remaining would purchase a modest condo, car, and a share in a successful business (marina or golf course).

20 million... Wow....

I'd give my parents 3 million, my sister 2 million, and a million to the inlaws. My grandparents are all dead, so there isnt much I can do for them. The rest of the family would get nothing. Not that I dont love the rest of my family, but im not responsible for their financial well being either.

Then i'd buy two homes. One here in Canada, on a golf course 350k will get you a beautiful home on a beutiful course here). Another somewhere warm, for the cold winter months. Neither of them would be fancy, huge homes. Just nice, respectable sized homes.

A new Ferrarri for me. One time purchase, driven a couple of times a year. I'd pay off my truck, which is a 2010, so I wouldn't need another for a few years.

I'd buy the wife a Mini Cooper, because she is absolutely in love with them. She's planning on buying one next year anyway, but 20 million could speed up the process, lol.

I'd pay off my harley, buy a Suzuki Hayabusa, and a bike for the wife. A new snowmobile.

Golf stuff! I'd have tons of new clubs to choose from everytime I went to the course, and i'd be at the course often!

Golf and motorcycling, that would be my life. Neither the wife or I want children, so we'd definately be doing what we enjoy (hell, we do now anyway).

We can only dream!

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
