Pointless question

D4 such an ignorant comment. For one, caddies on the professional level are coaches. They don’t just carry clubs and are not at all butlers. And yes they carry clubs, I also see trainers squirting water into football players mouths like they’re babies...all professional athletes are pampered.

Second, professional golfers walk. They never drive in a cart like us in beer leagues do.

If you actually understand the golf swing, you would never say no to this question

Total bad ass athletes. They practice hard, work hard, and have mental agility like no other athletes. Way more bad ass than any other athlete.

I’m sorry, but if you require a butler to carry your golf bats and a chauffeur to drive you around, it’s not a sport, it’s athletic aristocracy

Golfers require strength, stamina, high hand-eye coordination, discipline, accuracy, sports IQ, adaptability, iron mentality & focus, and obsessive commitment to their craft. Sounds like all the ingredients of an athlete, don't you agree?

No doubt golfers have skills and I would say most golfers at athletic, but I wouldn't put them on the same level of athlete as other pro spots

SM1 you must be a very fun person... 😂

Hello Bainees,

The first round of interview was done. It's been over a month but no updates yet. Recruier ain't responding.
I understand the bandwidth of my recruiter but 1 month is good enough to come up with a decision.

Any thoughts on what should be done?

Looking at fee increases for 2021 tax compliance and probably going for 10% increase with most clients to account for increases to wage levels this year. I’m expecting to negotiate down to 5-8% on some clients. With producer price index at 8.6% I’m hoping to successfully sell clients on the reality of higher fees. Those that want to fire me over fees I feel ok losing clients with decreasing profitability that can be replaced within a year. What kind of increase are you pursuing?
