Cool this is a standing offer for all, especially any bored billionaire lurkers

Yeah, the United @dkolo College Loan Fund, haha


Not sure that's the charity I would pick. :-P

but would you consider playing 1 handed if you were someone like Daniel Berger with about $3 M in career earnings (including 209 K in 21 Web.com events in 2014)?

If I were DB with $3M in career earnings, I wouldn't.   He has a lot of tournaments to make additional $3M and much more.   Why bother with making $200k (after manager, caddy, tax cuts - it will amount to less than half that) and draw negative attention to himself?

Me?   Sure, I will play.   I need to fatten up my retirement fund so that I can have a full golf career with team of instructors, trainers, and latest equipment.   I have my eye set on qualifying for 2037 US Open. :beer:

Yeah, and you want to make sure you're healthy for the Masters since you're qualified by being in the Tour Championship, haha.

I would shoot a 120 for $200K and I'd do it on live TV! Even if it meant if I had to do that four days in a row!

Just make sure there's a 5 second delay.

I embarrass myself for free every day. For $200K, I'll play while dressed as Little Bo Peep if that's what it takes.

Wouldn't you have to dress up in something that's not your norm? :-D

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
