re: Bryson valuation

If everyone is already saying “sportswashing, sportswashing,” is it actually achieving anything?
My view is that if someone is unaware of Saudi Arabia’s alleged atrocities, then any attempt at “sportswashing” is unlikely to influence them at all. On the other hand, if someone is already aware of what the term refers to, then Saudi efforts to improve their image through sport probably won’t change their opinion either.
It therefore seems like a largely ineffective exercise.
Also, if you have close to a trillion dollars In your wealth fund, who gives a shite what anyone else thinks about you? I thought that was the whole point of frick you money.

Does anyone actually understand what “sportswashing” means? It gets mentioned a lot, but rarely explained clearly. Comparing it to money laundering doesn’t quite add up either—if the goal is to hide something, shouldn’t it go unnoticed? In that sense, they don’t seem to be doing a very good job.

What makes Bryson think he is worth anywhere near the supposed $500 mil he is asking for?

I started taking Zoloft a while back and really helped with that. Knew I had anxiety, but never really realized it was OCD until after I started taking it. Definitely recommend medication as a stating point. Really helps.

Yeah, just saw a pretty big amount as well. Have a golf net in my backyard and always have a bunch of wings on it this time of year. Just checked it and they are there.

Bull ring

Noticing a lot fewer nose rings around lately. Makes me wonder when the tattoo trend might start fading too. The only difference is, tattoos aren’t something you can easily take off.

But am I right in my "discovery"? You don't actually actively try to turn your shoulders. It's a result of something else.

And everyone always says to just let the arms drop from the top without turning shoulders. I think I may have finally realized what they meant. Do you almost just not even try to turn the shoulders? The momentum of the club dropping pulls your shoulders around?

Well I am not a real engineer then. Got a degree in mechanical engineering from LSU, but never went down the PE path. Didnt think it was worth it.

And I think engineers love to overcomplicate issues. Any of you plant baws feel the same way?

I have never pooped in a port-a-potty. I think I would have a panic attack if the blue got on me.

Oh, If I started a topic for every stupid topic that enters my head I would have a lot more posts!

I have the Exputt simulator that tracks putter head path and face angle.

Would say it is always within +/- 1 degree
