I don't know the answer to this, but I do know the happiest people in golf are 3-5 handicaps.

Good enough to impress all the randos, break 80 more often than not, but no expectations to break par.

It's the sweet spot.

This post-win interview with Cameron Young at The Players is exactly what sports should be promoting more:

• The nuclear family
• Fatherhood
• Gender roles

@therealmcnair Is there an ETA on the first polo shirt order?

I just turned 46 at midnight...here are lessons I’ve learned:

Show up early. Quietly. Every time.

Own the checklist, then improve it.

Standards beat motivation.

Assume the plan breaks on first contact. Build slack.

One team, one set of numbers.

If it is not written, it does not exist.

The fastest way to lose trust is excuses.

Small lies become big losses.

Fix the process before you blame the person.

Train for the boring day, not the hero story.

Simple beats clever when money is on the line.

Cash is oxygen. Watch it daily.

Margin solves problems. Growth without margin adds problems.

A clean handoff prevents a dirty surprise.

Bad news ages like milk. Say it now.

Do the walk. The spreadsheet lies.

Your calendar reveals your priorities.

The customer only pays for outcomes.

Measure what matters, then enforce it.

If you cannot explain it in one minute, you do not understand it.

Speed comes from preparation.

Safety first, always. In plants and in deals.

Protect the crew. That is leadership.

Praise in public. Correct in private.

One clear owner per task. No committees.

Meetings exist to decide, not to perform.

The best operators hate drama.

Talent without discipline is a liability.

Culture is what gets tolerated.

The plant teaches humility. Listen.

Procurement savings without spec control is fake.

Inventory hides sins. Count it.

Quality issues are time bombs. Defuse early.

If the backlog is growing, your system is failing.

Preventive maintenance is cheaper than overtime.

No dashboard without actions tied to it.

A deal model is theory. Execution is truth.

Be skeptical of pretty bridges and adjusted numbers.

Trust, then verify. Always.

The best leverage is operational control.

Do not chase every opportunity. Hunt the right one.

Keep promises. Even the small ones.

Be hard on standards, soft on people.

Leave the place better than you found it.

Loyalty goes to the mission and the team.

When you are tired, do the next right thing.

Palantir just chose Miami.

Cue the predictable take:
“Florida doesn’t have the engineering talent.”

Cool. Let’s run the numbers.

Florida produces 89% as many engineers per capita as California.

Eighty. Nine. Percent.

That’s with:
• Zero Stanford
• Zero Caltech
• No 10-campus UC empire

What Florida does have:
• 7 R1 research universities
• $3.3B in annual research spend
• The largest aerospace engineering program in the country
• SpaceX. Blue Origin. Lockheed. L3Harris. Northrop. All building here.

Now the part nobody on Tech X wants to discuss:

Florida tuition: ~$6,500/year
California tuition: $14,000+
Florida income tax: 0%
California income tax: up to 13.3%

So let’s compare:

Cost to produce an engineer → Florida wins.
Cost to retain an engineer → Florida wins.
Engineer purchasing power → Florida wins.

That’s arithmetic.

The ROI per engineering degree in Florida might be the highest in America.

The people mocking Florida are arguing with a 2015 version of the state.

The 2026 version is building rockets, defense systems, AI companies and so much more.

You can keep the narrative.

We’ll keep the compounding.

Duval showed up all year and especially today. We didn’t get the result we wanted, but your support at home never wavered. Thank you-always. Chop Wood, Carry Water. #DUUUVAL

Few have talked about the Jaguars, but they have a path to the No. 1 seed. If they win their final three games, and if the Broncos lose in either Week 17 at Kansas City or in Week 18 to the Chargers, and the Patriots lose once more, Jacksonville would be the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

This week marks 10 years since our daughter died.

I hadn't written about that very life-changing week since then, but wanted to revisit it to see what I've learned, how my life is different and what hasn't changed at all.

Always Go To The Funeral

“Always go to the funeral” means that I have to do the right thing when I really, really don’t feel like it. I have to remind myself of it when I could make some small gesture, but I don’t really have to and I definitely don’t want to. I���m talking about those things that represent only inconvenience to me, but the world to the other guy. You know, the painfully under-attended birthday party. The hospital visit during happy hour. The Shiva call for one of my ex’s uncles. In my humdrum life, the daily battle hasn’t been good versus evil. It’s hardly so epic. Most days, my real battle is doing good versus doing nothing.”

[Jacksonville Jaguars @Jaguars]

“I think that’s definitely a culture thing. You can kinda see who we are as players is a reflection of our head coach. I definitely think it starts up top and it trickles down."

@gnewsii on culture set by Coach Coen.

[Aubrey Strobel @aubreystrobel]

Modern people have lost the art of hosting, being a community member, and inconveniencing themselves.

Throw the party. Host your relatives. Ask the person on a date. Treat your friends to dinner. Learn to cook for others. Meet your neighbors. Talk to the person at the grocery store.

As a dad, a highlight of your child's day is when you come home

This is why its so important to walk in the door with the proper mindset

Coming home stressed & tired will dampen your child's enthusiasm

Instead, bring that dad energy when you walk through the door.

Be excited to see your kids.
Ask about their day.
Be ready to play & give them your full intention.

This will quickly become the best part of both of your days
