Anyone read "Every shot counts"? Written by a CBS professor who focuses on financial / portfolio optimization. The book focuses on golf analytics (e.g. strokes gained, and what makes golfer A > golfer B). Started reading it yesterday and it's great so far!

Also open to other books - read "Paper Tiger", which is about an amateur trying to go pro in a year - finished bottom of Q school :(.

Yes Mark Broadie’s book basically transformed how golf stat tracking is done. All PGA players look at Strokes Gained vs. old school stats (putts per round, fairways in regulation, etc.)

Outside of technology upgrades in equipment, its probably the biggest innovation in golf in the last 30 years.

Super interesting - I learned of him in a Youtube video where they talk about Gary Woodland's driving (including his go-to stinger).

As a golfer and math nerd I loved his book. Definitely agree with the sentiment about it changing the game. I wish it was easier for us amateurs to get that data.

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
