Consider starting your own Sports Betting Hedge Fund. Keep 20% of the profits made off of OPM along with your own winnings.

Check out Dr. Michael Burry and his now closed Scion Hedge Fund. He had an idea and Capitalized on it bigly. “The Big Short “.

He made me and 2 others quite a pile of money. But it was a bumpy ride.

You forgot, dessert coffee connoisseur & poof !

George Carlin back in his heyday had a skit where he proffered upon the game (not sport) of golf and his thoughts on the game.

Pissed a lot of people off.

Back in my golfing days, one afternoon, me and an associate decided to play 9 holes. He invited his friend, John, to join us. John arrived and was attired in nearly all red...shirt, shorts, hat, even his golf bag was mostly red. Of course, for the golf course this wasn't necessarily out of place. Me and my bud rode in a cart, while John walked the 9, pulling a cart.

Mid-way, while proceeding to the next tee, we followed John across a bridge surrounded by large landscape boulders. The punch line ocurred to both of us at the same time. Had John fallen off the bridge, it would be, "Johnny walker red on the rocks."

Most liberals hate golf.

He was no exception.

Obama seemed to enjoy it well enough.

He was just trying to be white.

While attending one the boys all-star baseball games......a fellow Dad (dentist) pulled up in his golf cart, after being at the local country club.

While I gave him the game update......unknown to me, two other Dad's unbuckled his clubs from the rear of the cart.

After impressing everyone.....Dad took off for the golf course again.......spilling/spreading his expensive clubs all over Sunnyside Ave.

Felt bad for him.

A terrible story......but I told it so well.

Was he black?

LMAO

I saw a clan of dudes pull that on a guy the other day around the 16th hole. Late afternoon, and they were smashed.

I could not stop laughing.

Used to play quite a bit and was pretty nuts about it as a kid and young adult. I was decent. Never had an official handicap but a good day was a 79, a great day a little lower and a bad day was 85-87. Never broke par. To get much better than I was you really would have to practice and play A LOT.

Two things happened. 1) My golf buddies got married or moved. 2) I was taken deer hunting and killed one......after that for years all I wanted to do was hunt deer. Plus I had to fit in some time for fishing. I drifted away from it and have probably played 5 times in the last decade.

Anyway, there are certainly a lot of similarities between shooting sports and golf. I've never done trap, skeet or sporting clays but by all appearances it ain't nothing but golf with a shotgun. Much the same psychology involved and the same need to focus and concentrate.

I'm going to have to try the Iron method. I am a novice and don't play much but I love it when I do. I play for the fun and laughing at myself and making others laugh is what I'm good at when it comes to golf. lol I'm horrible with the exception of my short game. I can actually putt pretty good.

I really want to be good at the game because it is such a good feeling when you finally hit a good shot with a driver that doesn't slice in to the tulies.

So, flave, do you have a handicap yet or did you just jump straight to being a scratch golfer?

I still have my membership plaque for The Arctic Ocean Golf and Country Club.

We used fluorescent orange golf balls to play.

Absolutely, Taft and Palm Ave. my cousins and best friend grew up living on that golf course. We were pretty young, but fished the hell out of it when I was there. The golf course ranger used to chase us on his golf cart all the time, and was very familiar with all of our parents. Now there’s peacock bass everywhere around there (and most of the other canals and lakes in the area), which weren’t there when we were kids.


My Grandmother lived in Century (Cemetery) Village on Pines just before I-75. We were able to get past the guard gate in front because of that and fish that course too. Caught a lot of fish there too.

I grew up east of there in Hollywood, closer to the beach. Because it was close to the salt, we had a ton of saltwater fish which either became landlocked or adapted to the freshwater. While the only game in town out west was catching bass, we caught bass plus tarpon, snook, jacks, snappers and an occasional shark on the East golf courses.

What I always failed to understand what’s why folks would pay a guide to go fish at the lake (Okeechobee), when we would out fish them 10 to 1 with larger fish fishing the local canals and lakes, plus catching saltwater fish too.

Guess I caught the fishing bug too early to be caught up with golf. My Grandfather played quite a bit, and took me along when I was young to drive the cart. I always brought a fishing rod and fished while he golfed.

This is the best part of golf.
