I don't know if you are married or not but you can put $6000/yr into a Roth IRA for both you and your wife. You pay fees on both accounts but it can be set up this way....

re: People on this board make out Mac Jones to be the next Brady.....

Posted by reggo75 on 1/14/21 at 10:41 am

I'm an LSU fan and I will go ahead and say that I think Jones looks like an NFL QB based on my casual fan eye test. The way he throws the ball is really pretty to watch. The arc that he puts on medium to long throws is perfect. Plenty of zip and yet soft enough to make the catches look easy. ...

re: Best scorecard app

Posted by reggo75 on 1/13/21 at 6:04 am

I use the Grint app but it has a button in the top right for GPS. You don't have to use the GPS function to use the scorecard. I have the $20 subscription because it contains a GHIN official handicap and basic stats like GIR, Putts, Fairways, hazards, etc. There is an advanced version that ...

Just an FYI... The unit I purchased after doing some Consumer Reports and testimonial research is the Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 Plus. The settings go up to 140°. I think it was around $700 new. There were a few units rated higher but they were much more expensive. This one seemed like a ...

re: Golf course yardage, what’s average for “long”

Posted by reggo75 on 12/29/20 at 9:18 am

I would say anything over 6500 yds is considered "long" by the average weekend golfer. It seems 7000 yd courses are the new minimum standard on the PGA Tour but it used to be considered long. You see a lot of courses playing in the 7200-7400 range on the PGA Tour. I think Torrey Pines is on...
