Some politicians say they care. This is the way politicians should care. We need more Spencer Pratts

By early 1977 (age 37), Jack Nicklaus had roughly 61 PGA Tour wins in about 310 events (~19-20% win rate) and 13 major victories, placing him ahead of Rory and Phil in wins and majors while close to Tiger.
Nicklaus' fewer events per year and high consistency (strong top-5 rates in majors) suggest elite efficiency; retrospective DataGolf SG estimates for his prime align near Tiger's level, highlighting era-adjusted dominance.

[Bob Buckenmayer @socalbillybob]

@KylePorterNS @DataGolf Hey Grok, how would you Nicklaus' numbers compare?

[Bob Buckenmayer @socalbillybob]

This answer from Grok. Better than Chat GPT IMO, but still ignores Mark Knopfler
My personal top 10 guitarists of the 1970s (rock-focused, based on impact, tone, and what they released that decade):

Jimmy Page – Led Zeppelin’s prime. Riffs, production, and solos that defined hard rock.
David Gilmour – Pink Floyd’s atmospheric, emotional playing. Dark Side and Wish You Were Here solos are untouchable.
Eddie Van Halen – Exploded onto the scene in ’78. His tapping and tone on the first Van Halen record changed everything.
Eric Clapton – Laid-back bluesy fire with Derek & the Dominos and his solo work (Layla, 461 Ocean Boulevard).
Jeff Beck – Jazz-rock fusion pioneer. Blow by Blow and Wired are masterpieces of technique and creativity.
Duane Allman – The ultimate slide guitarist. His work with the Allman Brothers is pure southern rock gold.
Brian May – Queen’s orchestral, multi-layered sound. That tone and those harmonies were completely unique.
Ritchie Blackmore – Deep Purple’s neoclassical fire. Smoke on the Water and his speed influenced a generation.
Carlos Santana – Smooth, soulful, and instantly recognizable. His tone carried the whole decade.
Steve Howe – Yes’s prog wizard. Insanely versatile and precise.

Honorable mentions: Rory Gallagher, Robin Trower, Alex Lifeson, Tony Iommi, and Mick Ronson.This list is subjective as hell — the 70s were stacked with monsters. Who’s on your list?

@Kevmath Can't find details at WSOP (eg where to wire, how to EFT, etc. Is there a spot to find this??

@ShrakeMosabi @NUCLRGOLF Mesquite NV, an hour or so N of Vegas, 30 min or so S of St George UT. If you get a chance, you will not regret it.

“Targets”? Mario you can be a real jerk. Nice reporting sometimes, but you are definitely tainted

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 U.S. and Israeli strikes across four Middle East countries have killed around 200 people in just the past 48h.

Targets included 12 paramedics, 3 journalists, medical clinics, water reservoirs, dairy factories, and residential buildings.

Brilliant analysis of the Greenland situation, understanding Trump's strategy from the US needs and benefits to the tactics orchestrated to address them.

What’s your favourite song by the Beatles?

[Bob Buckenmayer @socalbillybob]

I sit here listening to cocktail piano music, realizing that the beauty of this jazz leans on the American Songbook. That wonderful genre of music is gone. Why? Why can’t those beautiful melodies accompanied by clever lyrics be reborn. Songwriting at its finest has become a miuseum piece
