Yeah, a fluff piece and correlation does not mean causation, but anyway, here's the article . It's golf related.

If someone said golfers make 50% less, I'd still play.

I run a small professional services firm.  My number one way to get clients is to go to my club as a single on Saturday and Sunday around 10 am.  I always get paired up, hopefully make a decent impression, and make a follow up call to extend an invitation to another round.

It is 100x easier to get a golfer to come meet you for a free round than that same person to come meet you for a free lunch.  And then you have a captive audience for 3-41/2 hours while you play.  Its an incredible marketing tool - its almost like they are addicted and can't help but come listen to your sales pitch to get out on the links.  I've probably gotten 60%+ of my corporate business through people met randomly at my club playing golf.

      I’m going to go out on a limb and say that maybe if Jason spent less time on his clothes and more on golf he would win more.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).
