@LouStagner The Marker is responsible for recording and certifying the score. Players need to take Marker responsibilities more seriously and pay attention to their player. At all levels of golf, marker indifference leads to rules violations, and the field not being protected.

Congrats to these 3! Put in a lot of work this last year and it paid off. Excited to see Jack at Pacific U next year. Excited to see what Preet(class of 2027) and Greysen(class of 2028) will do next year for us as they keep progressing. @PrepHoopsOR

Hey @SouthwestAir when you change someone’s flight without any notification of any kind, tell your gate agents to lead with “I’m sorry” rather than a shoulder shrug and passing blame. Just treat us like humans.

@rossmacleodputt Great analysis but don’t forget #3 - Escape. It’s a great way to get away from the noise of life. All three reasons have a time and place.

The are a function of health insurance plans. The insurance companies create plans with deductibles that most people can’t afford.

So to get to the insurance money from their plan, they will loan the patient money to cover their deductible.

That turns the hospital into a sub prime lender. Then the insurer will under pay, late pay and claw back in the contract. Costing the hospital more cash. And costing them in administrative costs even more

Then the insurer will delay approvals and deny care, earning interest on the premiums.

So then the hospitals. Non profit or not, have to compensate for the issue with insurance companies. So they create ridiculous shit like facilities fees, abuse 340b programs , abuse site neutrality and more. And of course non profits don’t pay taxes

And then the biggest provider systems will say they can’t make money on Medicare. Which is a function of them spending like drunken sailors on everything they can. From buildings to consultants.

There are more administrators than doctors and in aggregate they make more.

It makes no sense that hospitals spend so much money on consultants. It’s a waste. It’s like them want them to give the CEO cover , so they can try to buy more hospitals which leads to more pay for the ceo

Break em all up

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.

It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane

It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.

Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?

Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.

Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

@GolfChannel @NBCSports can we please get rid of the fake “whoosh” sound you use for golf shots on the broadcast? At least time them correctly and don’t use driver sounds for wedges. TFYATTM 🙄

[Branden Thompson @brandenthompson]

No sports were meant to be watched or officiated frame by frame. All replay reviews should be full speed.

[Branden Thompson @brandenthompson]

@fehrgolf Oh please share your alignment line thoughts. 😁

A lot of junior golfers dream about playing in college, but how do you really know if you have what it takes? 🤔

Every coach in the country itching to look at the transfer portal Dec 1, might want to go check out their club golf team.

If his run at the US Am wasn't impressive enough, his 5 under today with the eyes of Agora Golf watching should indicate it is possible to jump to varsity.

@KylePorterCBS Rahm could give Jordan 3 per side and he still wins. Wow.

@blair_wheeler @TronCarterNLU Keegan, oh wait, let’s pass him up again.

@AgoraGolf @AgoraGolf Congrats Paul showing off for club golfers! I lead the @NCCGA for the PGA of America. Check out https://t.co/yNNVt4wrlN to learn more about club golf.

[Ryan Frazer @AgoraGolf]

Club golf is an excellent way to keep playing competitive golf at the college of your choice.

Paul was ranked #10 at the end of last year:

[Branden Thompson @brandenthompson]

@jackdunphy @AgoraGolf Ha ha Dunphy! Srixon/Cleveland is the best. The NCCGA couldn’t do it without your support!

@GolfCoachNorth Bic 4 color. Been the best for decades. 😉

[Ryan Frazer @AgoraGolf]

Spots are rare and valuable...

If your kid wants to really go to State U and continue to play competitive golf, look into State U's Club Golf team... they probably have one, and it's more realistic than getting a walk on opportunity.
