Got it, that makes more sense.

There is a group called KKOS Lawyers. IMO they are the best tax lawyers we’ve worked with because they have experience in every state vs a local tax attorney that might have excellent state experience but not broad industry exposure. They can also give guidance on best entity setup, retirement accounts, and they will likely line you up with a CPA that has experience in this space.

getting paid as a 1099 employee


Don’t make sense. Is this passive or active income? His payments should be distributions which are not on a 1099 but on a K-1.

I highly recommend him setting up a S corp for his ownership and running his new found expenses through it to reduce taxable income. Get on a quarterly payment plan.
We bought two because of the deals they were having at the end of Q1 25. Two leases for $650, 3,000 mi/month.

The purpose the car fills is perfect. The car itself leaves a lot to be desired. The finish is below par for a 35-40k car. Buttons on the wheel don't respond well, the autosteer is very strong, the auto braking is kind of annoying, the tint had to be overlapped because the glass is so wide, and some of the phone connectivity is dumb. The lack of appleplay is annoying. The car senses when you are on the phone while moving and will "strike" you when doing so but you can't control the music from the dash only from the phone.

Hard to beat the operational cost though. As of yesterday, I am averaging $25 a week in "gas" equivalent whereas my truck is $90. Compounded savings is about $3k a year in "fuel" savings.
ACC morning laps are peak life

ACC afternoon is lit with g wagon/X7 soccer moms so we chill on Jeff Rd side in the shade

Hahahahahaha they were on of my first clients back in 2020. Maxem HC is run by a pretty solid group. That location is hilarious to be in.

So I trust them more than CNN.


Does Ava qualify? If not, you’re welcome anyway.

Mayakoba or Playa Mujeres

These are the only two I've played and they are both pretty quiet but very well maintained. TBH, golf in Cancun is not the best. I think most courses only have 1 or 2 holes on the water and its either the green or tee box.
That is a big move from Arcis. ClubCorp paid $250m for Woodlands back in 2014. Arcis plans to invest another $30m into the facilities. Safe to assume the initiation fees are going to be significantly higher and pretty sure the membership would be pissed if they are on the hook for any portion of that $30m, unless they voted for it.

I have a gold dollar that my grandfather gave me at my grandmothers funeral about almost 20 years ago. I had a golf tournament the following week and as he gave it to me said its my grandmothers "last dollar" investing in my golf game. Only coin in my bag ever since.

My dad travelled internationally for work prior to me getting big into golf he had a bag full of foreign coins. I used those prior to the gold dollar.

Troon taking over English Turn

Posted by Rendevoustavern on 5/5/25 at 8:21 am
Searched so SIAP.

Big news and a solid partner for them to choose. Troon over ClubCorp was smart, hopefully Troon can get the ship turned around and bring the course back to life.

Scottsdale, Ariz. (April 30, 2025) – Troon®, the leader in providing golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services, is pleased to announce it has been selected to manage English Turn Golf & Country Club, a semi-private club open to daily-fee play in New Orleans, Louisiana. Troon Golf, the resort and daily-fee division of Troon will manage golf operations, agronomy, food and beverage as well as sales and marketing.

Interesting given he just took delivery of his new company car.


IMO, the Maybach is the "I can't afford a Rolls but still want something overly expensive" sedan. They are not all that great over the S variants.

But if you showed up in the Pullman, we have a different conversation.
These are even worse in person. There is an older gentleman that drives one in our neighborhood and its headlights are horrendous. BMW has destroyed the style of the 7 sedan and SUV, while leaking into the 5 and 3 series as well.

The DBX 707 is pretty terrible BUT AM Racing Green is easily the sexiest colour of all time aside from standard black, white, silver.

We moved everything from Healthequity to Fidelity at the end of last year. Have been pleased with it so far.

Augusta member tees are less than 6500 yards. Course is not hard from that distance. Greens are still very tricky but if you have a caddy, any sub 7 handicap is likely shooting +/- 3-4 shots of their handicap. Unsure if they have a caddy or forecaddie but that is an enormous assist.

re: Rory 2025 Grand Slam?

Posted by Rendevoustavern on 4/14/25 at 8:46 am
I agree with this. The demons have been lifted and now he no longer has the lingering thought, almost like he is finally free.

Quail Hollow he will be even money if not plus money. He owns that course.

Oakmont will be tougher but as compared to the field, I still don't see how he won't be the favorite given how tough that course can play. There are guys that hit it farther than him but lack the ability to hit moon balls with their irons, I still think Rory would be the favorite regardless of PGA outcome.

Portrush will be the homecoming but his game is so far removed from Irish golf. If he does win one or both PGA & US Open, you can damn well guarantee he will be there working on his game for the two or three weeks leading up.

Kind of wild that Rory's game to start was unreal, then the Nike / Taylormade switch created all sorts of inconsistency, personal life/LIV drama, to now his game being razor sharp.

While he has rebuilt his empire, the other guys have no desire to go through a possible divorce after seeing it nearly break out buddy who had an "iron clad" prenup. Still cost him several million.

Tesla for $300/month with 1k down.


Picked up two of the model 3s for two of our employees that need to start traveling about 6-700 miles a month. Rather than put that on their personal vehicles, got a super cheap lease, and in the first week we’ve saved 50% on our fuel equivalent cost. Pretty great vehicles when your travel is within the 300 miles on a single charge. Excellent for around town.
