Bones picking up JT's bag.  I'm sure he'll do well, but I'll miss him as an on-course announcer...one of the few guys I thought actually added to the viewing experience rather than taking away from it.

Bones started slow but got it together and was pretty good at it.

Nothing like pounding back a beer before a big game. Sounds like the strategy of half the scramble tournament teams I compete against.....

Yeah, I actually ran out on the field with Gavin in the first game of the year. Joker messed up bad when he did that, he's suspended indefinitely and this video led to my buddy getting fired from head coach. Been a rough week...

That's me in the brown shorts and black shoes with my 7 year old nephew. You can see Gavin (#57) there with us.

This morning my wife, who runs a small craft and photography business on-line, was telling me of a conversation she had yesterday with our part time neighbors about the new "Recovery Act" laws as it pertains to e-commerce tax reporting.  My wife already gets the 1099's forms from her various sales platforms but our neighbor was a bit shocked about the new thresholds (she just started a new business)... which are, shall we say, not subtle.

It's going to get harder to avoid reporting income from online sales (cnbc.com)

It's no secret that the gubberment wants their share of our ill-gotten booty, but wow, from $20k/200 transactions to $600/1 transaction... really?  I wonder how they derived this change?  Sell a used set of irons for $700 and get taxed on $100? I totally get that e-commerce sales created a tax loop-hole of sorts in the last decade and these same goods sold through retail stores would have created tax revenue.  Si in a way, these changes are just catching up to current times.

Anyway, it got me to wondering where this is heading and how far off it will be before stuff we sell on our BST sub forum (or the like) will need to be reported?  How about Craigslist, yard/estate sales?  

Please don't go down the politics lane but just curious what others think about the changes - in particular the not so subtle threshold and whether any attempt to move to other non business ID transactions would be excessive?

I'm doing a look around the house at what I need to unload, quickly 🤣.

This has been going on for awhile. It’s state dependent. But like with other stuff if you sold at a loss you can claim that.

It's the threshold change that got my attention.  My wife was familiar with it but since I don't sell anything but occasional CL or MGS BST stuff, news to me.  Good to know about the "loss" option. 😄  

Dear IRS,

I purchased this set of clubs under the misconception they would reduce my scoring.  That has not happened. Purchased for $1800, sold for $1000.  Please send me one of those debit cards.

Sincerely,

The good thing for those in the states that do the 20k/200 as I understand it that’s per tax year so some minor sales won’t hurt.

Also as far as I’m aware it’s mostly thru PayPal use for online sales. If someone pays via cashapp, Venmo or similar apps they may be avoiding that. PayPal definitely notifies the user about their tax liability 

edit: for PayPal it’s for goods and services. Friend to friend isnt impacted to my knowledge

i was a single stuck behind a sloooowwww foursome today, so i had a lot of time on the course. 

i was working on a few things with my driver, and actually had the swing speed radar out on a few holes. 

i’ve come to the realization that i just generate too much spin with my driver and it’s definitely robbing me of distance. 

5AAE356A-0325-4652-90B3-5A9BC2EAA2F5.jpeg.4288c65e54babcb75332b164adf23c91.jpeg79D5D7FA-07EC-460E-A5E4-116F8F901927.jpeg.348efdbb285dc625eb2730165b9fb6c6.jpeg

my on course swing is right around 130, but i’m not seeing near the distances associated with that speed. and i’m talking about well-struck drives that fly straight. 

i had two good drives today - one at 306 and one at 324, measured by shotscope, but more often i get drives that balloon really badly and end up around the 260 mark.

i’ve already got an email out to my coach, and this is one of the things we’re gonna focus on when the off-season rolls around. 

with a 6* driver i shouldn’t see the kinds of apexes i’m getting

i was a single stuck behind a sloooowwww foursome today, so i had a lot of time on the course. 

i was working on a few things with my driver, and actually had the swing speed radar out on a few holes. 

i’ve come to the realization that i just generate too much spin with my driver and it’s definitely robbing me of distance.

my on course swing is right around 130, but i’m not seeing near the distances associated with that speed. and i’m talking about well-struck drives that fly straight. 

i had two good drives today - one at 306 and one at 324, measured by shotscope, but more often i get drives that balloon really badly and end up around the 260 mark.

i’ve already got an email out to my coach, and this is one of the things we’re gonna focus on when the off-season rolls around. 

with a 6* driver i shouldn’t see the kinds of apexes i’m getting 

Where on the face are you making contact? What shaft do you have in? Not like I’m going to help I’m just curious.

Went to the local farm today for some veggies and they had their fresh apple cider. I love this stuff and looked forward to this all year after trying it last year for the first time. It is the perfect cider not too sweet and not overdone with the spices.

i usually center my driver up pretty well. when i miss, i tend to leave the face open and get a big slice off to the right, but that’s not what i’m talking about here. 

my shaft is a KuroKage XD 70TX

That’s a shaft geez. I had the same issue when I carried a driver if I hit it high on the face my spin went up dramatically compared to hitting it closer to center

6º driver??  Let's see... Rory plays a SIM2 at 10.5º with a Mitsubishi Kuro Kage XTS 70X shaft.  Why 6º??  Harder to hit straight!!

because even at 6*, my ball gets well up over 150’ in the air. 

i lowered the loft to try and kill spin and keep the ball down. excess spin and ballooning drives are killing my distance. 

im also about 10mph faster than rory, so what works for him isn’t what will work for me. i’d love his face control and launch conditions, though.

OK, maybe we should look at pros closer to your swing speed.  Cameron Champ and Wilco Nienaber both play 9º drivers.

What I'm saying is that maybe there's more to your ballooning issue. It might be a swing issue rather than an equipment issue.  Check out spin loft.

oh, i agree completely. 

lofting down was an experiment just to see if i could bring my ball flight down, it wasn’t intended as a fix 

i’m gonna get with my coach and fix whatever delivery issues i’ve got going on.
