  1. I guess I’m not really smart enough for this topic…Im a retired plumber …my kids now run the company…I bought the company from my dad, the plumber…I leanred early in life that plumbers always work, and that plumbers live in nice houses…I pay my bills - all of them…bought a nice house in the San Fernando Valley area of LA in 1990 for about 300K…today, thru no skill of my own, they say thru comps on my street it’s worth 3 million…should any next buyer have that price “eliminated” because the LA housing market is insane? We were commercial plumbers - large housing tracts and big buildings…in this line, you meet a lot of contractors…more than one guy I know who couldn’t go to a traditional bank borrowed money from those in the cement business to get his 75K cement truck. Do you know who runs the cement business in Los Angeles? The way I see it, these students are lucky they borrowed from banks…Lou down at the union hall and his buddies in the trades that sometimes make these loans don’t do “loan forgiveness…” not sure why just being a stand up person and paying your bills is such a controversial topic…that’s it - im back to the golf talk
  2. I find that “confidence” only really comes into play in my game on the greens…I have become very good at knowing what shots I can hit and ones I cannot tee to green…high fade that starts over trouble and catches the left edge of the green leaving an uphill birdie putt? Never could, never will…but hitting a punch shot that either catches the front of the green no matter where the pin is or at worst leaves a straightforward chip? I can hit that shot all day, everyday… But when putting, every now and then the line and speed come together, and when happens on the first or second hole, that breeds great confidence with the flat stick and a great score is coming…opposite true as well…early three jacks just makes everything on the green a crapshoot… my 2 cents, for whatever it’s worth…
  3. 41 35 - 76 Sepulveda Golf, Balboa Course in LA…putter was in fire…missed more greens than I’d like, but got all kinds of balls up and down…played the white tees as is my norm as I am a senior golfer…72 degrees and sunny to start - got cold (well, SoCal cold) on the back 9…had a blast with my great group of old geezers…pic of 18 as we finished…we had a 12:10pm super senior time - 24 bucks including cart…
  4. It is such a great game…maddening,cruel and fickle…but it’s an entire lifestyle to me…so glad youre a part if it!
  5. And if that can’t be done, then I fully support everyone simply paying their bills and debts…
  6. I fully support all greens fees to be forgiven and canceled
  7. Great work here! Congrats!
  8. Technically yesterday- 80, Woodley Lakes from the whites - 38-42 with a horrendous 7 on the easy par 5 13th after hitting a great drive AND a very nice 3 wood to about 91 yards short…then the carnage began - 56 degree fat to the collar…square strike (yep, have on - love it) caught the seam of the collar and went 25 feet past…first putt burned the edge but slipped 4 feet by…4 footer right in the heart but only traveled 3 feet 11 inches…BOOM double bogey… Tomorrow is Balboa - usually break 80 there, but we will see… good round to all playing today!
  9. New member - long time player…muni player and resort course player…pretty good, but not great. More of a zen player - score, harsh adherence to rules less important than being on the course, swinging the club and having fun with fellow players. Dont care how good/bad anyone plays as long as it keeps moving- nothing worse than slow play…
  10. I don’t really play it, but I have a Golfsmith limited edition USS Enterprise putter I really like as a “thing to have…”. I should probably game it sometime…
