Just cashed out some crypto profits and went and grabbed a new car a day ago . Today my coach and I ran a trade and cleared a little over $40K in about three hours. Big shoutout to @TennesseTracy it’s really been paying off for me.

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

I’m honestly so excited right now. All the hard work I put into crypto finally paid off just picked up a brand-new car. Big shoutout to my coach, @TennesseTracy, for guiding me every step of the way. Truly grateful, I couldn’t have done this without her.

@TrevorImmelman In the Phillipines they start playing Christmas music in malls in September. At least it's fun to see kids so excited!

@BrentleyGC Now: "don't see the need for the bumper" Last season you wrote: Nov 12, 24: "Feels like the system might be overcompensating for blowouts" Feb 3, 25 "Are blowout wins skewing the points too much?" FAQ: Bumper also requires a large differential between event and season performance

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@BrentleyGC I'm glad you say the team rankings looked good (by May)!

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@CGolfBook @Clippd_Marcus No.

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@Clippd_Marcus @CGolfBook B teams do not affect the strength of field, points or ranking of the other teams, just as @Clippd_Marcus said

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@CGolfBook Strength of field is measured by the average SG of teams (or individuals) in the field. This is consistent with how the ranking calculations are done. (There are other ways to define strength of field, e.g., 'difficulty to win'.)

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@AgoraGolf @FredrikSvard @Clippdscore Beating a strong field gets more points than beating a weak field by the same amount. This ensures that there is no advantage playing in strong or weak events.

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@paulwood79 @Ehenrik Not very many shots in the 60-100 yard range. More important to focus inside 50 yards.

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@willhaskett @JustinRayGolf Yes! If a player sinks a few long putts their total feet will likely be large. But then short misses can get lost.

[Mark Broadie @MarkBroadie]

@willhaskett Shows why feet of putts hole is a fun stat, not a serious stat

[Sean Martin @PGATOURSMartin]

I think that’s a great point. These guys were mid-20s when @MarkBroadie’s book came out, as well.

They were probably able to benefit from and implement some of the learnings/conclusions that came out of it but didn’t completely build their game around some of the excesses that followed, i.e. later generations where speed was perhaps overemphasized?

It feels like we’ve found a happy medium that acknowledges the importance of speed but also recognizes that it’s not something to be pursued at all costs?
