re: How important do you consider the ball you play as a mid-handicap?

I can hit a pro-v1/maxfli tour type of ball a good 15+ yards farther than a callaway supersoft. The ball absolutely matters.
Sounds like you have a decent swing speed then! Us old folks need a softer ball I believe. I've been playing a kirkland urethane 3 piece ball. I'm about to test a Taylor Made SpeedSoft ball this afternoon to see if I can hit it any longer.

35 years and quarter of a million dollars? What the heck?
That’s probably too high. I extrapolated what I’ve spent over the few years over my whole life. But, I spend more money now than I ever have and certainly couldn’t afford it when I was younger.
Probably more like 100k. But that’s still way too high for as bad as I am!
Here’s my two cents.
The short answer is there may be literally nothing you can do to be able to shoot in the 80s.
Long answer…
I’ll start with an illustration.
No matter what, I’ll never be as good as Michael Jordan in basketball. I can pay for all the lessons I want. I can practice 1 million free throws I can spend hours learning to dribble, etc. but my skill level will never be what his is. I can get better, but ... at some point, I reach my maximum athletic ability.
In the end, I think for most golfers, the maximum skill level is probably about bogey golf.
I’ve been playing golf seriously for 35 years. I shoot about 90 every time I play. Don’t get me wrong there’s times I flirt with 80. But I go through droughts where I’m closer to shooting 100 than I am shooting 90 even. I've parred the front side of a course once and the back side of a course once. I've shot in the 70's once. But on average? ... I shoot about 90.
If I look over the course of my life, I’ve probably spent almost a quarter million dollars on golf. This includes rounds, practicing on the range, equipment, and lessons. I’ve had a series of lessons from two separate professional golfers, one who played in the British Open. Just this week I hit over 1000 balls practicing for this weekend. Yet I played so bad this weekend that I stopped keeping score after the 10th hole.
No matter what I do, I can’t get better. I think I’m just at the maximum that my personal athletic ability will allow me to go. And honestly, I’m a pretty decent athlete. Maybe the average golfer can shoot a few strokes better than me. Not sure. But I’ve lost hope of ever getting better.
I suspect many people are about like me in regards to this game.
I hate playing bogie golf. It’s sorry golf and I find no pleasure in it anymore. None. I experience more OUTRAGE on the course than I do pleasure these days. But I hope the game has better things in store for you than it has had for me. But who knows? I've seend different stats saying that only 25% of golfers consistently break 90 to 40% being able to consitently break 85. But by any measurement I know of, if you can break 90 consistently, you're better than most people who play this game.

Pretty good. What’s your point?
Sure! But so what. I don’t believe we have all the records and if they really wanted to, I guarantee you, they could convict certain people with 3 million documents or more of evidence that doesn’t include videos and images.
In the very least, they could have a press conference and point out the most egregious evidence and have these child, raping, pedophile and murderers be brought to life for all of society to know instead of some random person on Twitter, pointing it out.

It’s depraved.
It shows how evil everyone in government is really. Zero arrests because everyone is involved and it doesn’t matter what party they belong to. Selling, trafficking, torturing brutally raping and eating babies and kids.
Irrefutably true and nothing happens to anyone. It will make you thirsty for these people’s blood and for the first time in my life I understand why the biblical description of hell is not only justified, but desired by anyone with an ounce of decency.

Fox is reporting this. This case will never get solved and brought to conclusion if this moron stays in charge of this case.
Well, in all fairness, the FBI are the ones who have refused to prosecute Hunter Biden with his laptop, told the American people Trump was a Russian asset, refused to arrest anyone who’s raped anyone in the pizza gate and or Epstein email releases. All of this regardless as to who appointed them and or what political parties they belong to, Republican or democrat.
At this point, unless this guy does something evil he has far more integrity than anyone in the FBI.
I’m going to assume he actually wants to catch and prosecute the people involved in this while the FBI will just cover it up, as is par for the course for them.
re: What am I missing with Iran

We the people of Iran, don’t have weapons. It’s easy to talk tough when you’re not the one who’s got to give your life so that other citizens can be free.
They need help.

Here’s the doc below. I believe this “kidnapping” is related to the overall Epstein issue and more specifically to the Clinton testimony we’re about to see.
It has been argued that this organization was responsible for combing the internet and having any negative info regarding the Clintons removed.
I also saw an interview years ago where this Savannah girl was interviewing someone, I forget who, about the Pizza gate conspiracy and she became unhinged and started asking something like “you don’t believe there is a satanic sex cult do you!!???” She was seething during the interview. Her behavior as a journalist just doing an interview was weird.
I can’t find the video anywhere and even asked AI to help me locate it. It is gone.
This woman was disappeared about the time the Clintons finally agreed to testify before congress.
This is just my personal belief. I immediately thought about that interview I saw with her when I heard about this. I just don’t think this weird scenario is some random journalist having their parent ransomed for money.
Here’s the doc…

This alone makes Kash look like he either lied under oath saying there was no evidence Epstein trafficked to other people or he’s totally incompetent.
