Couldn't watch with sound. Is Sergio piloting that plane?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

When speed is low, it's tough to control an aircraft in strong and varying winds and gusts.

I live near DFW and we get micro-bursts and gusting, and you do see planes waiving around in the wind on approach and sometimes landing harder on one side.

Must be nice to have a private jet.  No lines, no crowds, etc.

We mere mortals can only dream of such luxury.

Yeah, once you fly on private jets, regular air travel becomes even more painful than it typically is.  No lines, no security, no crowds, no baggage check, no long walks through terminals.  Basically you pull your car into a hanger, walk onto the plane and take off.  When you land, you walk off jet into waiting car and go to wherever you're going.

Useless video.

And don't these 'lux travelers' need to speak to Immigration and Customs?  It ain't just jump into the limo.

Passengers on private fights are pre-cleared and aren't required to go through customs or immigration.  For countries that don't provide pre-clearance, a customs agent meets the flight at the FBO when you land so it takes 2 minutes if that.

Even if I was as rich as Gates or Buffet, I don't think I'd own a private jet.  Wasting that much money would just go against my nature.

However, If I flew a lot and was stinking rich, I'd use something like NetJets.  Same as flying in a private jet without all the cost and headaches.

Having flown on private jets in the past, and I had THAT much money ... you bet I'd have my own jet! Designed to my interior specs.

Usually these guys don't "own" a private jet. It's used like a time share. It's enormously expensive as they pay a large monthly fee for using it. Actually owning a jet of that caliber is usually only done by the billionaires.

Yep, and the NetJets Share program is like a timeshare. https://www.netjets.com/Programs/Program-compare/

I remember seeing a pga player in the last few weeks on tv with a NetJets logo on his shirt.  It wasn't Tiger.  But, regarding Tiger:

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
