re: How can I raise my credit?

Then he can buy it if he ever needs to. Seems dumb to buy it as an insurance policy for something that may never happen or may happen after that $8,000 beater becomes a $2,000 beater.

Once you do purchase, take it to the best area dealer for that manufacturer, and request the pickiest, most experienced, and anal tech they have. Ask for a list of repairs in order of necessity. Then have them repair as you can afford it using THAT tech.
This seems like terrible financial advice. I’m open to have my mind changed but I think his money would be better spent elsewhere over spending on an unnecessary, depreciating asset that needs repairs that he is going to have done at likely the most expensive option for those repairs.

What am I missing here?
Guilty. Sentence him to 30 days target practice.
I’ve had a GC3 for years and have zero complaints. It’s easily portable enough for use at the range, but I use it for a home simulator. It may be overkill for your intended use. You can also look at its cheaper cousin, the Bushnell Launch Pro, which is basically the same hardware but with subscription model.

For accuracy, these are the gold standard for amateur personal use. Trackman and GC Quad are on a more professional level in my opinion.

You have to take this if you are being honest about the realistic part. But if you get that wrong, taking a pay cut to work more hours is brutal.
Gregg’s team would have scored late to tie Paraguay and we would have slid into the knockout stage because of someone else’s result

Belgium is a top 10 ranked team in the world. They're #9. US is ranked 17th. We were the underdogs tonight, not them.
Belgium is better and dominated us last night, but every single goal was a pretty inexcusable, self inflicted wound. The first was a pretty standard opportunity to clear that we missed and then 3 guys standing and watching a cross right in front of the goal. The second, two defenders in position get beat to a header right in front of the goal. The third and fourth were just total embarrassments of poor play.

That’s really the more deflating part. Belgium, while a quality opponent, is still a step or at least half step below Spain, France, Argentina, Netherlands, etc.

We are confidently a top 15-20 team, but still miles away from a top 10 team.

This performance was on par with Gregg
But Gregg’s teams gave this level of performance on a much more consistent basis. There is improvement under Poch, just not to the level we needed to beat a top 10-12 team. I don’t think we’ll have better options.
Most talented player on the team, but he’s soft as baby shite, whines too much, is a bit off a prima Donna and shrinks from big moments.

The team reflects that a bit.
Honestly, that final score is more fitting for what the action was.
Really controlling the possession in stoppage time though

Celebrating a miss like we just pulled back a goal, the frick is this weak shite
He wasn’t celebrating, he was trying to get everyone back in the game instead of giving up

We've only taken 3 shots??
We can’t connect on two consecutive forward passes
That was embarrassing by Freese who lived up to his name there

That was a big WTF. Dude got manhandled and didn't put up a fight.
Got caught watching on the first goal too. He’s been really good this tournament, but has been exposed tonight

With how physical Belgium have been, he’d lose the ball every time.
At least it would be someone different losing the ball every time
quote:

Robinson is the only player who’s putting in effort
I wouldn’t congratulate anyone on their first half play, but he doesn’t look scared or out of sorts like just about everyone else
