  1. I agree with this . I was raised in a single parent "home" I say home because it was a 1948 school bus with no running water for myself. mother, and 3 siblings. We were beyond poor. But my mother would allow no excuses. We were raised to be polite, hard working, and never to blame anyone for our circumstances. All 4 kids went on to have upper middle class incomes and improve their lot in life. Most of the people that we associated with as kids are either dead, in jail, or living off the system. The difference was their parents (mostly singe moms) did not parent them. They enabled them. Parent, in my opinion, is a verb. For the record I am white, so I had whatever advantage you think that gave me.
  2. Hey man off on the wrong foot and all good. You are right I could have looked it up. I am new on this site but on the main forum I frequent, if you post an assertion you are many times asked to provide sources. I truly hope you have a great day!
  3. Your link it to poverty numbers by race not immigration status. I was referring to the fact that you said immigrants are much better off than native minorities. I think you are incorrect but I may be wrong.That is why I asked for data. I only responded to that portion of your post because of time constraints. You are 2 replies into this with me and both included assumptions on my character and motive. Again, that says way more about you than me. Do you always assume negative intent when having a conversation with a stranger?
  4. Not at all, I honestly wanted to look at the numbers. Your conclusion that that my question was dishonest in some way says way more about you than me. Peace 🙂
  5. 5 Millions buys a hell of a Fathers day card 😁
  6. Any supporting facts to this. Or is this opinion?
  7. Why is it that Asians and Indian Immigrants can be successful in this country? Why are immigrants from Africa successful? Do they not face the same racism and institutional blocks to advancement?
  8. Having to be carted off the course with a 4 inch gash in my calf from my friends spikes (Early 90's.) I chunked my tee shot about half way to the green on a par 3 and my friend was making fun of me. So, proceeded to knock his ball off the tee. We ended up kind of sword fighting over the ball as I was trying to knock it off and he was trying to block it. I shot my foot out to knock it off and he instinctively kicked at my leg. Next thing you know I have a 4 inch long by 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch deep gash gushing blood. We were walking so 1 friend ran to get help. Other friend (the one that spiked me) gives me a new golf towel to staunch the bleeding and ask if I'm good. I say yes and he says "cool, I am going to play this hole then ok?"🤣😂 Hes still my closest friend to this day 🙄
  9. Hi Everyone! New member here from Meridian Idaho. Have been playing exceptionally bad Golf for almost 30 years. Played a lot in my late teens and early 20's (still was horrible and trying to teach myself) and then started to dwindle form 5 or 6 rounds a year to one to many times none. Well my 14 year old son started getting interested in golf so here we go again 🙂 . I finally retired my Ping Eye 2 irons for some Callaway RogueX irons and picked up a set of X hots for my son. This time I am doing it differently. First step is lessons for both of us. Hopefully results are better this time around. Anyways, Just wanted to say hi!
